AMERICANS HAVE
GOOD MASKS FOR
USE IN FRANCE

Recent American casualties in a
gas attack, says a Washington re-
port, illustrated the experience of all
the European armies that the sue
cess of the barbarous weapon re-
vived by the Germans largely is de-
pendent on surprise, since improved
masks have eliminated all danger if
the men have time to put them on.
The Americans were caught asleep
or before they were able to adjust
their masks, which a statment by the
gas defense service of the medical
department declared to be the most
efficient in existence.
Gas masks now are being manu-
featured at a rate that assures an
ample supply for the troops abroad
and for training at home, said the
service statement.
Many factories turning from peace
to war work are producing masks
of the approved type, and in addition
government plant employing 400
persons soon will be in operation to
do the more difficult sewing opera
tons on the face piece.
Full Equipment Assured.
The determination of the govern
ment that no American shall go into
the trenches without full equipment
will prevent the narrowing expert
ence suffered by the Canadians at
Ypres in April 1915, when the Ger
mans first called to their aid the
weapon outlawed by all civilized ma
tons subscribing to The Hague con-
vention.
Cotton fabric, carefully rubberized
cut to fit various types of faces,
forms the face piece of the Ameri-
can mask and is held in place by
elastic bands over the head.
The ears are left uncovered, and
sight is provided through celluloid
or glass eye pieces. A canister filled
with secret chemicals is carried in
a small knapsack and connected with
a flexible tube which goes into the
soldiers mouth
Mere provision of masks is only
the beginning of the defense system,
however, as the men must be trained
to know when gas attack is COM
ing and to adjust a gas mask in six
seconds or less. An alarm is given
by horns, whistles or rattles.
Mask Readily Adjusted.
The mask is carried in a KNAPP
sack at the left hip, the supporting
straps being shortened when a dam
ger zone is entered, so that the mask
rests on the chest at the "alert."
A soldier has merely to open the
knapsack, pull out the flexible hose
with the face piece attached, put the
rubber mouthpiece in his mouth and
adjust the bands over his head. The
nose clip can be placed in position
after the mask is on.
Training the men comprises long
drills in adjusting the masks, exhibit
tons of the efficacy of the masks by
having the man enter a gas filled
hut wearing them and finally sham
gas attacks at unexpected moments.
Three separate parts now are COM
prised in the gas defense service,
known as the filed supply section,
field training section and overseas
repair section.
The first furnishes the masks, the
second teaches their use and the
third attends to repairs in France
and the replacement of the canisters
when the chemicals have lost their
strength.

STATUS Of THE
AMERICAN RED
CROSS SOCIETY

AS a result of conferences called
by the secretary of war between rep
|resentatives of the surgeon generals
office and the Red Cross, the follow
ing general order has been prepared
and approved by the secretary and
the acting chief of staff.
1t is the desire of the secretary
of war, as it should be of all officers
of the army, to do everything posi-
BILE for the comfort and welfare of
the soldiers, and TO make use of
such agencies as are authorized and
are in a position to contribute to
that end, in addition to the provi-
sions made by the government. The
American Red Cross is a body au-
thorized by law to render services
of this character. The following
general statement outlining certain
approved activities of the Red Cross,
and methods for carrying them on,
is published for the information and
guidance of all concerned:
Functions of the Red Cross
/. To distribute sweaters, muff-
lers, helmets, socks, comfort kits, etc.
and to receive the assistance and
cooperation of all officers in MAX
ing the distribution fair, equal, and
where most needed.
2. To render emergency relief of
every kind upon the request or sug-
gestion of an officer in charge All
officers are instructed to avail them
selves of this assistance whenever,
in their opinion, advisable. Officers
should be none the less diligent in
attempting to foresee the needs of
their department in order that they
may be supplied through regular
government channels. All such re-
quests must be approved by the
commanding officer, who will cause
record to be kept of all such
articles.

Sustaining Army's Morale.

3. To relieve the anxiety and to
sustain the morale of soldiers who
are worried about their families
at home and to promote comfort and
well-being of these families, author
ity is given to the American Red
Cross to place one or more repre-
sentatives Of the home service bu-
reau of the department of civilian
relief at the service of the men
of each division of the army where
ever located. The soldiers should
be Informed through official orders
of the presence of such representa-
tive or representative and that the
Red Cross is able and willing to
serve both soldiers and their families
when in need of any helpful service
This representative and his assist
tants will be accredited to the divi-
sion commander and will be subject
to his authority and to military laws
and regulations. This representa-
tive Of the Red Cross will have the
status of an officer in the army and
will be provided quarters when avail
able. Such assistants and clerks
as may be necessary will be provided
by the American Red Cross and must
be males. These assistants and
clerks, if any, will have the status of
non-commissioned officers. All re-
ports and correspondence of this Of
ficer will be subjected to censorship
of the commanding officer.
Canteen and Other Service
To conduct canteen service sta
tons for furnishing refreshments to
soldiers when travelling through the
country, to furnish emergency re-
lief to the sick and wounded when
enroute and to see that they are con-
veyed to a hospital when necessary

 FUR POLICEMAN

Mrs. Prince. landlady of the Alturas hotel on East Washington street, early Sunday morning captured single hand ed prowler and turned him over to the police and charged him with rob- bery.
 man registered Saturday evening at the hotel under the name of John son, and was assigned a cot on the porch. About 3 o'clock a man. occupy Ing neighboring cot, was awakened by the movements of Johnson, who asked for cigarette. The awakened man passed one over from his packet. but at the same time thought to look whether his money was still in his trouser pocket
 On investiga tiOn. the money, apout $15, proved to be gone The man inn mediately notified Mrs. Prince. the landlady, who arrived on the scene just in time to halt Johnson who was preparing to go. Johnson pretended innocence of the entire affair and showed his own empty wallet with the declaration that he also had been robbed. and that such notoriety as would be given the matter. would be pad for the hotel.
 Mrs. Prince however being more con- cerned with the administration of jus tice than with the publicity it would arouse. detained him until the police arrived.
 Officers Gaskin and Bradley arrest ca the man who. at the police station gave ms name ar Harvey Oxford.

cases caused considerable trouble be- fore being silenced. The craters west or La Boisselle were especially trou-
 olesome. One large one there. after holding out for several hours. fell dur ing the night while other smaller holes were silenced at daybreak.
 The worst of this shell crater coun- try now is being passed at many points. however, and there is a prospect that the ground may be more favorable to the British.
 It seems certain that the Germans nave brought up fresh troops. but it IS believed they still are some distance In the rear. It is problematical wheth- CT the German high command intends to throw them into battle now or to use them to hold the line to which the enemy is now being driven. Among the prisoners taken in today's and last nights fighting, which pro- gressed under a brilliant moon, are many SaXons. The officers among them. in comparison with the Prus- slans, who apparently care not for such things, as soon as they got to the cages. stripped themselves and asked for which to bathe from their upturned snrapnel helmets. Alsatians also ap- SN III tiie pIlSOHeTS cages. Hap pier men than these it would be hard to find anywhere. They fell on their captors. embraced them and spoke in French of being liberated" They pulled pictures of their fathers, dress ed in the French uniform of 1870. from hidden pockets and exhibited them proudly. They said that all the Asa tians had been placed in German regi- ments.

 One of the prisoners said he was carrying food to an advanced post when the British appeared. He cried. We surrender" and with the men in the post gave himself up.

 AMERICAN FORCES ON THE LORRAINE FRONT, Friday, Aug. 23.-(By the Associated Press)- American bombing planes yester- day dropped 38 bombs on ConfIans, a town on the Verdun- Metz rail- road. Ten direct hits were ob- tained.
 Three aerial combats were re- ported yesterday in the Woevre re- zion. Lieut.. Jones attacked and apparently destroyed an Albatross bipIane over Marre, northwest of Verdun. Lieut.. Hugh Bridgeman attacked two Fokkers which seem ingIy fell. Another airman saw a German machine going downward in a steep sidesIip after it had been fired upon by American avia tors.
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 25.-(By the Associated Press, g p. M.)-Re- ports from various sources say that the Germans are withdrawing north of the VesIe owing to con tinued pressure along the French and British fronts.
 In the Fismes district the Ger man artillery fired in desuItory fashion Sunday and there was no infantry action except patrol en- agreements at a few places. Much heavy cannonading has been heard around Soissons.
