when but a mere handful for the
freedom of the sas we fought the most
powerful nation on earth. Last year
and this we fought the Central Powers
for the freedom of the seas; for after
all that is said an done, that is the

FIRST LINE AMERICAN TRENCHES
N FRANCE. April 26.-There's one
thing about this war game over here
that gets everybody's goat
That's GAS
I've never met any soldier who had
any use for It IN any manner, shape
o. form.
Gas has taken all the romance cut
o. lighting and has made 70 just about
as interesting as digging bitches.
How can a handsome young lleuten-
ant prowling around In the trenches
wearing a lhlngamaiig that gives his
head the appearance Of a pigs snout,
makes him pun and blow like a black
smiths bellows. and cuts OF his
speech?
One trouble with the American army
In France IS Il has too many alleged
gas experts.
Every man or officer IN or out OF
the trenches Is constituted a commit
tee OF one to notify the rest OF the
army whenever he thinks he detects
the presence OF gas. He does this
either by sounding a siren horn tha.
Is shriil enough 10 wake up the dead
by sending up sky rockets, or by rush
lng through the trenches or the village
streets yelling GAS" at the top Of

Practically all this notifying is done

Of rushing into your gas mask, as
common caution would indicate, ones
drst impulse Is 10 throw a hand gren-
ade at the MOTHER

Seriously speaking, practically all gas
cases in the American army up 10
date have been the result Of careless
ness. The men get tired putting on
their masks and then finding out that
the alarm was a false one; 80 when
some real gas comes along they say
"lust another fake alarm" and It's the
hospital for them.
Only a very small percentage Of gas
cases result In death.
