GAS ATTACK OFF
CAROLINA COAST

Washington. The navy department
has announced a gas attack against
the North Carolina coast. presumably
by German submarine. temporarily
putting out OF business the coast guard
station and lighthouse at Peronnel, on
Smith island.
Forty minutes after the attack three
large oil spots. each about an acre In
extent. were observed passing by
Smith island to the north. II Is con-
jcctured that the gas must have been
generated in this oil. which wasAf
leased by the submarine In the vicin'
ity OF the entrance to the channel, in
the hope that 1t would come In with
the tide.
Smith island is off the mouth OF
Fear river Had the Germans had bet
ter luck with wind and tide, the
clouds OF gas would have swept into
the city OF Wilmington, Six men at
the coast guard station aud lighthouse
were gassed, but there have been no
deaths.

March's statement OF the magnifi.

that Foch knows that American

succeeded. the effect on the allied NOR.

been disastrous.
