NEED OF GAS-MASK TRAINING
~ FINALLY REALIZED AT MEADE
Men of Liberty Division Beginning Appreciate
of Learning to Adjust Headgear at Lightning Speed

Camp Meade, Admiral, Md. June 2S.
nEAR BETTY-Slowly but surely
~ the doughboys in the Liberty Di-
vision are beginning to consider gas
mask training seriously and to appre-
ciate It's Importance
I again allude to this phase of our
training, for at present 1t occupies the
place Of first Importance in Little PENIS
curriculum. The cynics and those who
permit their enthusiasm for fight to
get the better of their judgment assert
that gas has turned my head and that
am subordinating everything to mask
training. ..
II they wish to take that view they
are at liberty to do so. but the war
chiefs In Washington and men who have
recently returned from the battlefronts
do not share their. opinions.
With US II is no secret that the bochs
is running amuck with all kinds of gas
and that the casualties among the Allies
have been SO heavy that drastic steps
had to be taken in order to check them.
Briefly, the Hun is a natural psycholo-
gist and employs that science quite eff
fectively on the field Of battle. He ap-
preciated that for personal bravery and
contempt for life-saving devices the
American soldier Is In a class by nim-
self. SO the Hun got busy with gas
when our boys started to do things,
And his dope concerning tho Amer-
cans contempt for life-saving devices
was correct In word, our boys had
not mastered the details of gas masks.
They were slow in adjusting them and
many casualties resulted. 80.
Lesson Learned Mt Last
But now they have learned their les
son and across the seas has come the
story Of their experiences.
Mindful that men in the home camps
were not taking their gas. masks very
seriously. the war chiefs in Washington
issued new orders. The nature of these
Is understood. for no longer is man
permitted to take the gas mask as a
joke. 1t was a nasty pill to swallow,
but we were forced to take it
French officers and our own who are
In charge of this training never lose an
opportunity to emphasize its Importance.
They insist that 1t is just as important
as Workmanship or anything else OH
the program. Said one OF our officers
today: i,g 80
You can't wait until you reach the
front-line trenches to learn how to ad-
Just your mask. You must master it
now and keep at II religiously. Learn
to adjust your mask In Ave seconds and
then try to better that record. for there
are times when the fraction OF a second
may mean your life Remember that
you are put out of the running II you
are gassed. 90 don't let that occur
