Few of the Richmond boxing fans
turned ort last night to see the three
exhibition bouts at the Coliseum

the match between Kid Wiggam and
Jack Dillon. one Of the best known

The bout only went four rounds,
when Kid Wiggam was forced to leave
the ring with blood streaming from
his nose and mouth. He made short
speech saying he could not compete
against such a boxer as Jeck Dillon
and thought he was doing his patriotic
duty as well as he could. He was
loudly applauded.
The second bout of the evening was
between Don Curley, light weight
hampton of Indiana and now boxing
instructor at the Speedway Aviation
field at Indianapolis, and Slim Coe
of ST. Paul, also CT the aviation fielc'
The six rounds were fought with spirit.

GAS ATTACK TRAINING VERY
ESSENTIAL PART SOLDIERS LIFE

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, May 25.-(By the Associated
Press. )-One of the most essential
parts of a recruits training is that
which teaches him to protect himself
against gas attack. 1t has been
proved that practically complete Sc
curity can be obtained against this
latest weapon, but that such security
Is dependent upon previous training.
This special training is provided for
every British recruit by the special
"gas schools" established at conven-
lent points behind the front. Every
recruit must complete a course of in
struction here before he is allowed to
take his place in the front line.
The objects of our training" said
the British officer who showed The
Associated Press correspondent
through one of these schools, ARE to
familiarize the soldier with the vari-
Gus anti-gas apparatus. and to fix
firmly in his mind the two chief AK
IONS to be learned in the use of gas
the first being that carelessness may
mean sudden death, the second that a
proper procedure gives absolute i'm
munity from any ill-effect.''
The gases employed by the enemy
are of two kinds, lethal and nom
lethal The first class will produce
death If breathed in sufficient guam
titles The second class include lach-
rymatory or tear gas, and a number
of similar gases used to prpduce mere :
~ temporary effects. The gases are
employed in two ways, by release
from cylinders when favorable winds
are blowing, or by enclosing them in
shells fired from guns and trench
mortars.
At the gas school the men are
taught to protect themselves against
both forms. Two appliances are used
in the British army. The box res
pirator." which is the newest and most
important of these. consists of flexi-
BILE mask that fits over the face. This
mask is fitted with glass windows or
the eyes, a clip to cover the nostriis
to prevent the wearer breathing
through the nose and a special mouth
piece fitted with a valve. The mouth
piece admits of free eXhalation, but
forces inhalation to take place through
a tin box, connected to the mouth
piece by a flexible tube. and contain
ing the chemicals that absorb the
gas, allowing only pure air to pass
into the lungs. The whole device is
carried by every soldier in a satchel
slung over the chest.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-05-26

The men are trained to put the
appliance into use in a minimum
time AS soon as they are expert in
the details of fitting the mask they
are put through various drills, carry
ing the apparatus At word of COM
mand, they stop instantly whatever
they are doing and fit the mask into
position. These drills are continued
until whole company can protect it
self in a few seconds.
They are then exercised in carry
ing out more complicated drills, in
Guiding prolonged double quick
marching, with the apparatus in place,
until they are fully accustomed to
working under the inconvenience
caused thereby.
Each man is given respfrator that
fits him perfectly, and which thence
forth becomes his personal property
The fit is tested by placing each
man for several minutes in a cham
Der heavily charged with gas. II he
exhibits any symptoms of discomfort,
at the end of the test, he must be
fitted with a new mask. In order to
inspire confidence, he is later put
through the most exactfng tests in
rooms filled with the most deadly
gases, from which he suffers no i'll
effects whaever.
A later step In the gas school is
training in methods of clearing gas out
of dugouts and methods of prevent
ing gas getting into dugouts. The
gas. being heavier than air, collects in
such places If allowed to- and the
methods of constructing impervious
doors, impervious blanket curtains.
and similar devices, are shown. The
recruit is shown the principles of VEN
tilation, whereby gas can be blown out
of dugouts by the use of fans or by
lighting fires at favorable points near
the entrance. Actual experiments
along these lines are carried out in
the school and are studied by the
men.
The most essential thing to be done
in case of gas attack, the instructor
tells his pupils, is to warn everybody
within reach. The men are shows
how to construct gas gongs out OF
any material at hand, such as lengths
of railway iron or artillery cartridge
cases, and where to place such alarms
so that they may be best heard. The
use of the 'tStrombes Horn" a special
form of motor horn worked by a CYL
inder of compressed air, is also ex-
planned

the German nation.
Frau Kanselfenn is one of the most

and every such diabolica1 Hun device
has passed through her hands. When
any new invention of this character
is offered to Krupps-as hundreds are
in the course of a year-it is sub
mitted to Frau Kanselfenn, after 1t
has passed the board of experts, for
final approval.
For years this woman has been part
and parcel of Krupps. She has grown
up with it. The late Herr Krupp in
stalled her in his house, giving her a
whole suite of rooms exclusively for
her own use. He is said never to
have taken any momentous step
without consulting her. The voice that
spoke to the world in any great NUM-
ton movement might have been the
voice of Krupp, but the directing brain
was the brain of Frau Kanselfenn.
Eventually the whole of the sinister
secret records of the firm were given
entirely into her keeping. She studied
and kept up to date the records OF
stolen inventions, the putting out of
the way of men and woman who had
dared to match their puny wits against

such a grip on Krupps affairs that
she made herself absolutely indispen-
