Lack of knowledge of Gas Defense
Fatal to Soldiers.
.W.S.S.

The necessity for thorough and
continuous training of troops in gas
defense is shown by a statement prov
ed by captured German documents:
The Germans at a certain position
on the western front knew the British
were planning to deliver a gas attack
on a German division equipped with
masks, but poorly trained in their use.
In spite of the fact that they had sew
eral DAYS to drill before conditions
were suitable for the British attack.
when it was finally made hundreds OF
German casualties resulted.
Many kinds of gases are used IN
modern warfare. Some merely affect
the eyes temporarily, and are more
inconvenient than serious. Other
gases are terrible in their effect unless
proper protection is available. They
are employed in clouds, or in shells
bombs, and hand grenades.
It is the work of the Field Train
ing Section of the Gas Defense Ser
vice to bring home to the American
soldier the Importance of his gas
mask, to thoroughly drill him in its
use and to inspire confidence in its
efficacy.

Use of Soldiers as Guards for Indus
trial Plants Is Not Recommended.

A memorandum made public by
the War Department concerning the
use of armed guards about industrial
plants contains the following:
"The soldier in training who has
offered his life for the defense Of
country should not sacrifice his eff
fectiveness by performing police du'
ty in the protection of property back
of the lines. This is the duty of the
citizen at home.
"The theater for operations fol
armed soldiers is the battlefield OF
Europe. Each civilian should aid his
county by acting as a guard for the
detection and prevention of intrigue.
deceit, and all the familiar stealthy
operations of the enemy in our midst
Each soldier unnecessarily detained
as a guard in this country aids and
abets the enemy in Europe.
"Often a guard may be needed fol
the saftey of a factory. When it is,
it should be supplied by the owner OF
the factory, by the municipality, OF
by the State.
"These measures apply not only to
manufacturing plants, but are equal
" applicable to shipyards, grain ele-
vators, and stores Of supplies"

MUNICIPAL


While a few communities and
towns have found it possible to get IN
adequate supplies Of wood without
any particular organization, IT has
usually been found necessary to have
some particular committee or body 70
take charge Of the work in order to
insure its being done. This has been
necessary during the present emer-
yency in bitter weather when the &C
tual need for wood fuel in quantity,
with coal not obtainable, made it ap-
parent to every one. With the COM
ing of spring and the warm weather
of summer, individual and popular IN
terest in the wood fuel question
will naturally lag and be crowded out
bv more seasonable work and inter-
ests. This decrease will not, how
ever, be followed by decreased ne
cessity for a stock of wood for next
winter. Some organization is need
ed to tide the matter over between the
seasons and to- urge and see that
wood is cut when it does not seem
Immediately necessary. One commu-
nifty in New England is able to see
the handwriting on the wall and has
decided to purchase 100000 cords OF
wood as a fuel reserve for the city
and has borrowed $4,000 from the
banks to finance the operation. A
| Southern State has already some 80
municipal woodyards in operation and
is planning to have one in practically
every community in the State.
See that your community has a mu-
nicipal woodward and is getting in a
reserve of wood for next winter. II
one is not already in operation, or
ganize it at once. Under the stress
of an acute shortage, an Ohio town
organized a municipal woodward in "a
hours. Can not your town be suf-
ficiently foresighted to organize one
now in advance Of need?
Next winter Is going to be the rub,
and we can not begin too soon to
prepare for it. The next sixty days is
the best period of the year for cutting
cordwood, and l know of no more eff
fective way in which you can serve
your community, as a representative
of the Fuel Administration, than to
exercise all of your resourcefulness
in inducing your municipality, your
county, your wood dealers and the
farmers of your county to secure the
cutting of all cordwood possible dur
ing the next sixty days with a view
to supplying the demands for wood
which we are sure to have next
winter.
