New American Gas Is
Termed Formidable.

American army officers only smiled
grimly yesterday when reports of
heavy German gas attacks were re-
ceived. 1t is now an open secret that
great progress has been made by
American scientists in the creation of
new and deadly gases to be used by
the heavy artillery stationed behind
the French lines.
So heavy are some OF the newly
discovered gas destructives that they
retain their deadly power for ten or
twelve hours after reaching the en-
emy lines. The sun and wind are the
only agencies which can dissipate
them.
In a recent case cited by an officer
yesterday, soldier in passing over
stretch of ground where gas had
been thrown ten hours previously
stopped to picked up piece of wood.
In so doing he disturbed some leaves
and debris. His hand came In con-
tact with gas which had lain for
hours under the refuse and within
a few minutes he discovered that his
nand was severely burned.
