At each cantonment In the United
states a school has been established
where every officer and man receives
instruction In gas defense. The Ameri-
can gas mask, similar to the British, is
as mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able to produce.
The face piece, with glass or celluloid
eyepieces, is connected by a flexible
tube with canister carried In a KNAPP
sack. The incoming breath comes,
through the canister which is filed
with several layers of chemicals which
neutralize or render harmless the gas
laden air. Outgoing breath passes
outside the face piece through a small
valve.
The student In gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on In a hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the mask
is hanging at his chest In the "alert"
position After intensive training a
gas attack Is arranged. The class Is
put In trenches, and without warning,
clouds of smoke and chlorine are lib
Grated by the instructors, masks are
hurriedly put on, alarms sounded, and
sleeping men in dugouts aroused.
When the attack ceases the trenches
are cleared Of gas, the air Is tested,
and permission is given to remove
masks.

The fuel administration is carving
on series of conferences covering all
industries which use large quantities
OF fuel, with view TO learning the re-
quirements of each line during 1918.
The Industries themselves are playing
a leading part in these discussions.
The aim of the fuel administration is
TO arrive at percentage Of produc-
don which, under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufao
turers and their workmen. but which
Will not represent consumption or
fuel for the manufacture Of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use OF fuel for the pro-
duction of window glass to so per cent
OF the amount manufactured In 1917
is the result of one of these confer
ences. A survey Of the field indicated
that while not more that 100000
boxes of window glass would be used
In 1918, competitive conditions were
likely to result in an overmanufacture
Of at least 100000 boxes.
1t Is through this system of Iimita-
ton, together with large economy In
the methods OF using fuel, that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production of coal this year.
II lie hoped, as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that 1t will be possible
to mine and transport a larger guam
uty Of coal this year than last but IL
is through these methods of reducing
consumption that a repetition of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.
