May Abandon Rheins.

London, May 81, via Ottawa.-The
abandonment of Rheims seems in
evitable. The Germans are nearing
the Marine and the Paris ChaIons
railway, which is the main COM
munication between Paris and Yer
dun.
Although the pace Of the German
advance has slackensd owing to the
arrival of the allied reserves, it is
recognized that the allies have diff
ficult task to prevent further devel-
opment Of the menacing enemy sue
cess.
Correspondents say the retreat
over the Aisne was a most difficult
feat of warfare, both as regards calm
generalship and the courage of the
troops. The ground was repeated

flcers were seen holding the bridges
to the last moment and were then
killed when they blew them up.

American chemists working on the
poison gas problem may bring the war
to Q victorious close for the allies in
their laboratories.
They are working hard, together
with British chemists, to find a color
less, odorless and invisible gas, which,
sweeping over sleeping army, would
destroy 1t.
The Germans are also working to
lind such gas. Whichever side finds
1t first will win the war, declares .

The GAS shell" is not necessarily a
shell. 1t may contain liquid or even
solid, and 1t opens up the whole
sphere Of organic chemistry to be
drawn upon for materials. .. .-.
y In every German drive this year
there has been q gas strategy. Full
dress rehearsals In gas maneuvers to
meet every possible situation were
held by the Germans before an attack.
In the March drive captured maps
show the Germans had worked out a
coming system over allied territory.
Some zones were drenched with gas
and others left untouched. The Ger.
man attacking troops were supplied
with maps to indicate the safety zones
through which they might pass with
out harm.
Some zones were subjected to ephe-
neral gases which evaporated before
the arrival Of the oncoming Germans.
Other areas were bombarded with sew
erai hundred thousand shells, the gas
from which fingered for hours. On one
seven-mile sector the Germans dis
charged 125,OOO 12-pound shells in one
day.

Of strongly-held posts, often hills. The
