It was three years ago, too. that th'
German Government in defiance OF thu
laws cf war as laid down by the Geneva
and Hague Conventions, suddenly en-
ployed poison gas against the British
and French armies. BY this act of sud
den treachery the Germans gained dis
tinct advantage.
But since then the British and tn,
French have protected themselves
against this awful weapon. Their ga

staff finding itself checked and out

should be forbidden!
Yet II certainly was forbidden In April
1915, when the Germans themselves un
lawfully and dshonorably used It.

it's use, fling away their gas masks an
stop the making of the gas, German
