GAS ATTACK" ROUTS
MACHINE GUNNERS
Maneuvers Are Broken Up by an
Explosion in the Gashouse
Last Wednesday.

Two corporals Clarence McConley
and Leon E. Frush, of Company E,
211th Engineers. had a warm" re-
ception into Meade. as they were sent
to the gas house for instruction just
after their regiment arrived here.
The house exploded the same day.
McConley and Frush were not in
jured, but their escape was due to
the command OF their Officers, who
sent them to place of safety just
few moments before the gas ex-
ploded. The bench on which they
were seated was struck by flying frag-
ments.
While McConley, a native of Water
loo. Iowa. and Frush of indianapolis.
Ind, were learning all they could
about the peculiarities of gas, and
especially from the standpoint of ex-
plosions, the escaped gas was being
waited across the field toward the in
trenched troops taking part in the
big maneuvers.
The machine guns and one-inch
mortars were pounding away in great
style. when the cry came gas" and
there were no masks available. The
troops scrambled out of the trenches
much as the English did in the early
days of the war when gas first came
into use.
There was hasty retreat, not. from
machine gun bullets but from the
gas which so unexpectedly played
such big part in the defeat of the
Blue" army or the Red" or what
ever happened to be it's color for the
day.
Incidentally, it was declared, that
despite this unfortunate episode which
Resulted in the injury of two men in
the gashouse, the maneuvers were
the most elaborate and successful of
any which have been held of it's kind
in Camp Meade.

'Tn the west we call that kind of a

We consider it more creditable to be
thrown than to be holding fast to the

The horse and steer act is what they
term "the bulldog and steer stunt" in
the far west according to Osborne,
and he says he would like to be able
to stage the thing in Meade. He Is a

NEWSPAPERS UNDER
SEVERE HANDICAP

Wichita Falls (TeXas) Times;
The Times in common with many
other concerns has been handicapped
during the past two weeks by the
influenza epidemic. At times 1t ap-
peared that some departments OF the
paper would be left without any
workers. and there was not day
last week that the paper was issued
on time, but through splendid spir-
it OF cooperation on the part or all
somehow the paper was issued ana
distributed even if at a late hour. In
this connection the Times wants to
say word of recognition of the 10y
altv OF its carrier boys. One night
the paber was not off the press until
nearly eight o clock. yet f'l he car
riers waited at the office until their
papers were ready for delivery and
distributed them as promptly as
they could There was scarcely day
last week that, one, two and some
times three carriers did not report
sick" and it was necessary TO call
re serves ana 10 CdlI oll lVSu Su''i va
riers to deliver two routes. The boys
met the emergency with fine spirit
and helped pull us through dlt-
ticult week. TO them and to its read
ers who were patient and iorbear-
ing. the Times wishes to express its
appreciation.
The foregoing describes in meas
ure similar condition existing at
the Ardmoreite office. Not only has
the lob office just reopened alter
two weeks of idleneSS. caused by III
ness of the employees, but the cir
culation department is forced to all
manner OF expediencies in the dis
tribution of the paper. Carriers are
obliged to do double duty. Reserve
carriers are pressed into service and
every effort is made to keep up the
standard. Too much praise cannot
be given the splendid boys compoS-
ing the carrier force, They take their
added duty with smile and never
falter in their loyalty and devotion.
The Ardmoreite only asks the pa
tience Of the public.

THE SUBMARINE FOILED

The capture Of the Belgian sea
coast bv the allies marks the definite
defeat of the U-boats. They were
already doomed by the combined Ell
forts of the allied nayies and the
4 m ri a shipbuilding plants.
Through these agencies. we had
reached point where U-boats were
being sunk at least as fast as they
were built. and where new merchant
shipping was being constructed fast
er than the old could be destroyed.
Now the allied program is helped
immensely by the new difficulties
the U-boats will have to face.
Operating from Ostend and Zee
brugge. they had great advantage
in their proximity to the great
steamer lanes by which the allies
supplied their battle front. Hamper
ed BY the recent British attacks on
those bases. the Germans have now
lost them entirely. Henceforth they
can send on their raiders only from
Wilhelmshaven or Helgoland. Thus
they must traverse the rough
stretches of the North Sea before
they reach their old hunting ground.
Their bag, naturally, will be much
smaller. The U-boat crews, already
demoralized by the growing hard
ships and difficulties OF their muir
derous business, will have less heart
for it than ever.
1t is possible, too, that the Ger
man admiralty will amend its inhu-
man methods because of the rebuke
administered by President Wilson,
il order to get better peace terms.
