USE new GAS GUNS
Americans Sent Thousand Gas Shells
Into Small Area.

With the American, Army in Lor-
raine, June 19.-The first American
gas protector attack was launched
against the German troops north OF
Toul this morning, evidently causing
heavy casualties .--.-z
The boche losses were added to,
when, in attempting a retaliatory at
tack. the wind blew the German gas
back into their own trenches.
American engineers, using Ameri-
can-made projectors. discharged a
thousand American-made gas shells
into a small German area. The pro-
jectors were fired by electricity.
The Germans were taken completely
by surprise. The gas attack was. fol-
lowed by an intense artillery barrage,
after which the boches -frantically
shelled the American positions.
The unsuccessful German gas at
tack followed their artillery lombard
