At each cantOnment in the United
States q school has been established
where every officer and man receives
instruction in gas defense. The Ameri-
can gas mask, similar to the British, Is
rs mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able to produce.
The face piece with glass or celluloid
eyepieces, is connected by flexible
tube with a canister carried in KNAPP
sack. The incoming breath comesi
through the canister, which is filed
with several layers Of chemicals which
neutralize or render harmless the gas
laden air. Outgoing breath passes
outside the face piece through small
valve.
The student in gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on in a hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the mask
is hanging at his chest In the "alert"
position. After intensive training
gas attack is arranged. The class Is
put in trenches, and without warning,
clouds of smoke and chlorine are lib
Grated by the instructors, masks are
hurriedly put on. alarms sounded, and

are cleared of gas, the air is tested,
