MUSTARD Gas WORST
Most Horrible Invention Huns
Use In War.
e Brings Tears and Causes Painful
Skin Diseases Among
Soldiers.

Washington.-The most dangerous
kind Of poison gas used by the Ger
mans is mustard gas" or dichloro
diethysulphide.
Mustard gas has q distinctive but
not altogether unpleasant smell, more
like garlic than mustard. 1t is heavy
and oily as liquid. 1t boils ut 217 de.
grees centigrade, and thus has proper
ties whereby it can be distributed in
the form Of q spray on the impact of 9
shell.
Mustard gas Is q powerful producer
Of tears. After several hours the eyes
begin to swell and blister. causing in.
tense pain. The nose discharges freely,
and severe coughing and vomiting en-.
sue.
Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapor
penetrates through the clothing. Gus
masks, of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia - high fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas Is
a slow and insidious development. The
breaking down of the affected tissues
is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is re-
ceived. The painlessness is also a
marked characteristic. Healing is
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack, is also used for "neutra-
lization." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up,
a few mustard gas shells will result
in dangerous confusion and delay. A
part of the infantry is "neutralized"
by having food and ammunition cut
down. If the she'll hurts as we'll as
neutralizes, SO much the better.
The American mask to fight mustard
gas is Of the box respirator type. The
hood is of rubber. Breathing is
through the mouth, pincers shutting
of the nostrils. The gas-charged air
enters through the bottom of the can
listers, where by means of neutralizing
chemicals. it is purified. From the top
Of the canister the air is drawn into
the lungs.
There Is one-way shutter valve in
the hood through which the air comes
out This mask Is designed to last ten
hours. For artillerymen the war de-
partment has made an oil suit which
encloses the soldier bodily.

|SPo|uNG HUNS SLEEP
oesuItory Bombing 0istracts
~ Antiaircraft Gunners-
orep Two and FIR Away; when Fritz
esttlss Down, Wake Him
Up Again.

Behind the British Lines In France,
One Of the most exciting tasks to
which airmen are assigned IL "desul-
tory bombing" over one spot for an
hour or more. The object is to dis.
tract the attention Of the antiaircraft
defenders Of q given district.
A machine carrying q dozen or more
bombs is employed for the work. The
airman, pilot and an observer ap-
proach their target cautiously. With
engines throttled down, the craft glides
nearer and nearer.
Below all is quiet. No German
searchlights are sweeping the sky.
When the attackers are almost over
their object a rocket rises and bursts
into cluster Of red stars.
The machine has been discovered.
At once six or seven searchlights throw
their beams aloft. The pilot looks at
his watch; 1t is time to begin bombing.
He flies steadily on, although bar
rage Of bursting shells lies now in
front Of him. The observer looks
through the wires of his bomb sight,
He thrusts his lever forward and re-
leases two bombs. A few seconds
later he sees the flash of their explo-
sions, and hears two dull roars. He
signals to the pilot and the machine
sweeps away from the fiery ring Of
shells and searchlights.
A few miles away the airplane flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
searchlights vainly feel the sky in all
directions and then, one by one, are
switched off.
Then the pilot quickly returns to-
ward the target. Another bomb is
dropped. AS it explodes the search
lights reappear and the barrage is re-
newed, while through the shell bursts
are threaded the chains of green fam
Ing globes SO much used by the Ger
mans.
Again the machine flies away and
this time to bewilder the soldiers be-
low, the observer fires a white verey
light, which slowly drifts down and
fades out. All the searchlights follow
it until it dies.
Repeatedly the airmen return to the
attack. Bombs are dropped at inter
walls until the end Of the hour, when
the machine departs. Pickering fires
and clouds Of smoke telling Of the
havoc wrought by the bombs.

[ ACTS AMAZE ITALIANS
Yankee Flyers Credited With
Great Heroism.
Gxpleits Quickly Win henors Given By
klnn Victor Emmanuel
AlmoeIf.

italian Army Headquarters.-Tha
Italian commandant under whose d.
rection the American flyers are work
ing on the Italian front has only one
fault to find with them. They nevel
want to remain on the ground.
The exploits which brought five Of
the American airmen decorations can.
not yet be published. but the value Of
their services may be judged from the
fact that King Victor Emmanuel trav.
eled to the section held by the Amer
leans to make the presentation.
A few days ago Lieut.. Alexander G
Craig Of New York, while flying over
Austrian territory, was attacked by q
chaser plane. By skillfully handling
his own machine, after q few minutes
Of jockeying lie put his adversary at
disadvantage and Unanswered his
own gunner into such a position that
burst of machine gunfire shot the
attacker dead and sent his plane to the
ground In flames.
Lieut.. Harry L. Holtz Of Burley,
Idaho, showed he could combine great
GOODNESS in danger with thorough un.
'derstanding of Italian habits and Gus
toms. On his way back over the Aus
trian lines after deep raid into en-
envy territory his plane was struck by
burst Of shrapnel from anti-aircraft
guns. One fragment lodged in the
body of Holtz's machine, another tore
hole in the right wing, while a third
splintered one of the left-wing spars,
at the same time cutting one of the
afleron control cables to such an ex-
tent that single strand of steel wire
was left.
Lieutenant Holtz calmly pointed out
the break to the Italian mechanic &C.
companying him. The mechanic, with.
out moments hesitation, climbed out
and fought his way to the wing against
a tremendous wind pressure. Then,
lying fiat on his face and bracing his
feet against the strut, he grasped the
damaged cable with one hand on each
side Of the break.
Just when he was getting q grip
on the last strand Of the cable It parted
and the value of his daring action was
apparent. With the cable gone, the
big airplane virtually was useless, but
he coolly chung there, substituting his
strength for 1t and enabling Lieuten.
ant Holtz to bring the machine safely
into Italian territory.

and gain of five and possibly more
members of the senate, which over

have gained senators in Illinois, New
Hampshire, Delaware, Kansas and
Colorado. They have apparently car
ried Michigan and Rhode Island,
where the Democrats were hopeful of
making senatorial gains. In Michi-
gan President Wilson's pacifist can
didate, Henry Ford, has been de-
feated. New York and New JERSEY
went Democratic.
