O'CONNOR
IN CHEMICAL WORK
Writes Of Methyl Gas "a Times More
Poisonous than Mustard Vapor
Used by the Germans.

Mr.. and Mrs. John O'Connor of
Clark street have received very in
teresting letter from their son, Private
eompanied by clipping from Cleve-
land, Ohio, paper, explaining at length
the manufacture and dangers which
arise therefrom of methyl, gas which
is ~ times more poisonous than the
mustard vapor used by the Germans in
warfare. Private O'Connor, who en-
listed in Brattlehoro in the chemical
warfare service July 90. is working in
methyl plant in Willoughby, Ohio
All of his letters home have been CEN
sored and he has not been allowed to
state what he was doing, so carefully
has the secret of the manufacture of
this deadly gas been guarded.
The Cleveland paper containing the
item, also shows photographs of Off
GERS in charge of the plant and one
of workman in uniform, wearing
face mask. The article states that
a single days product of this gas shot
into the city of Cleveland would de
populate the whole city.
Six months ago only three men knew
of the existence of such gas and one
OF these was an American chemist The
thousand men who work at the VIII
loughby plant have practically been
prisoners within the barbed wire fence,
closely guarded, that surrounds the
plant. At first, before mess hall was
built. the men were marched to res
taurants under guards for their meals.
Later an honor system WAS put in
force and the men are allowed certain
liberties. Not a man working there
has betrayed the confidence placed in
him. Without praise or cheers. or
even the satisfaction of wound stripe
in case of permanent injury, the men
labored day and night that the war
might be shortened - Methyl, an
American product, win stand as the one
big contribution of the allies to gas
eous warfare.
