Manufacturers Here Able to Provide

Atlantic City. May 11.-War mas
helped the American glass trade by
giving to manufacturers in the United
States a complete monopoly in the pro-
duction of special grades Of glassware
for use by chemists and others in
closely allied lines.
This developed at the opening session
of the preliminary conference here OF
the American Bottle Manufacturers
Association and the Bottle Blowers
Association of the United States and
Canada.
Virtually all of the>chemistry ware
used in the United States before the
war and for a considerable time there
after until reserve supplies were cx-
hausted came from Germany. It was
produced by specially trained men in
Jena.
All the chemistry ware the United
States can use now is being produced
in glass plants of New Jersey and at
Baltimore John Vol, Of Philadelphia,
president Of the bottle blowers asso-
citation, asserted that body had been
assured by professors OF chemistry
thruout the country that the American
substitute is not only as good but bet
ter than any that came from jena.

Gas Warfare Has
Been Developed Into
One of Brutal Sciences

Correspondence Associated Press,1
London, April I5.--Gas warfare has
developed to very considerable eN-
tent since its first use as surprise
weapon by the Germans at the second
battle OF Ypres. Al that time the gas
cloud or wave" was released from
great cylinders OF liquid gas embedded
in the trenches and discharged by
pipes leading thru the parapet.
This form Of attack has been largely
discarded. for it depended for effec-
tiveness on the prevailing wind blow
ing from the right quarter 1t soop
became apparent that the gas shell
was far more important wea pom than
any gas cloud or wave, for its action
is independent of the wind and con-
tinuous barrage OF gas shells can be
kept up SO that the whole target area
IS continuously poisoned.
Tho entirely surprised by the first
German gas attack, the British and
French quickly devised defensive
measures and every soldier was sup
piled With a gas mask. The box
respirator which every allied soldier
against all forms of gas. provided
it IS put on at the first alarm and is
not removed until the danger is past.
But it IS very difficult to fight hour
after how without removing the
respirator. There can be little speech,
and a man can neither eat. drink nor
smoke. During a gas attack, there
must be as little unnecessary moving
as possible for violent movements of
the body are likely 70 disp!ace the mask
and let a little OF the poisoned air
into the lungs. Gas bombs are now
used largely by both sides for the
Commandment Of back areas and lines
OF communication. for the silencins OF
hostile batteries, and as harrase
previous TO an infantry attack. when
their effect is often supplemented by
ses-wave discharges from trench
cylinders. Tho effect Of gas attack
is much worse and lasts much longer
in closed spaces such as trenches anc
dugouts and is more effective in towns
and villa Ees than in the open. There
are many kinds of gas now in common
use. There is q purely suffocating gas
tear gas which attacks the eyes; a
sneezing gas, intended to provoke an
easier assimilation Of tie po:sol gas
which accompanies II. and lastly the
mustard gas. which is an eye, lung
and skin irritant.
Gas shells in most cases contain
mixture. designed TO produce double
effect. The shells are fired by guns oi
all caliber and gas mines" and tor
pedoes" are discharged from trench
mortars.
The majority Of gas casualties re-
cover quickly provided they have been
only slightly exposed TO the fumes be-
fore they put their respirators on The
effects % the irritant mustard gas are
not usually serious, most cases re-
covering in two or three days. 1t IS
generally stated that the gas attacks
Of the French and British are more
potent even than those of the Ger
mans. while the allies respirators are
much better than the German because
the Germans have not been able to
get rubber enough TO use it plentifully
in these instruments. The German
mask is Of leather treated so bad
" that German gas casualties have
been Unfortunately heavy.
