WASHINGTON, Mar 2.--Recent

the European armies that the sue
cess OF the barbarous weapon re-
yiycd by the Germans largely Is de-
pendent on surprises since improved
masks have eliminated all danger II

service statement. Many factories
turning from peace to war work are
producing masks OF the approved
tpe and In addition a government
plant employing four thousand per
sons soon will be in operation to do
the more difficult sewing operations
on the ace-piecc.

that no American rhnll go into ~
trenches without full equipment will
prevent the narrowing experiences
suffered by the Canadians at Ypres
