Fight Gas With Water.

THE Swiss tried to combat the gas in
the same manner that ono would dow
OF water: with oxygen tanks, dams
across the communicating trenches,
side drains for conducting tho gas to
ono side and down the valley, trench
roofs to let the gas pass overhead, and
pumps with which to empty the gas
from the low places. A swiss physi-
clan, Col. Redard. has proposed the
plan Of sprinkling the gas by means
Of an ordinary fire apparatus. thus
causing the hydrogen to destroy the
wave. This seems practical, since it is
known that successful gas attack
cannot be carried out during a rain
storm"
It should be added that gas thrown
by projectiles presents different prob
lens. During their successful attack
on tho plateau of Bainsizza the Italian
army used gas shells with considerable
success. Tho Italians could not enter
some Of the valley bottoms for several
days.

AS the Germans are known to be
very strong in chemistry credence was
given to this scare. SO much SO that the
Red Cross asked the common suppress
sion of the use Of gas. It must be ad-
mitted that the German diplomats play
cd their parts very well. above all
since the Swiss themselves did not be-
ltSve in the famous gas. Nevertheless
the Swiss military stan. very well in
formed by Profs. Guye and Zahnder,
experimented with gases.
These experiments fully justified the
French bulletin Of March 80. which
read. 1t is worthy Of notice that If the
enemy has used gas abundantly he has
not used any new gas
Indeed, the gases which were ex-
perimented with in Bern last month
were the identical gases with which
the Swiss army carried on the complete
experiments near Mount Bernina in
February, 1917. There it was demon
strated that 1t is impossible to use gas
