Rank IN u. s. Army

Experience has proved that unless
the Germans are able TO spring o big
surprise they cannot hope for success
In their fiepdish use Of gas against
American soldiers and almost every
conceivable precaution has been tax
en- TO prevent the Huns from taking
the Americans by surprise.
With six or eight seconds warning
the Yanks now in the trenches can
put on their American-made masks.
superior to all others, and completely
nullify the effects of the poisonous
vapors.
Use of gas against the Americans
has brought into prominence soldiers
with the rank Of "Smeller," men with
acute olfactory nerves who can be de-
pended upon to detect gas at o great
eY distance than others whose NOS
trils are not quite 80 sensitive.
These "Smellers" are armed with
klaxtOn horns, rattles or whistles and
upon detecting gas sound an imme-
diate warning with their nOise-mak-
ing device. A "Smeller" n selected
from every platoon to patrol the
trenches occupied by HIS particular
platoon. In addition to carrying O
matchmaking device under his arm,
the "Smeller" must make o report
every hour during the day or night
he n on duty as to the direction Of the
wind.
On the parapet IN front Of every
post command In the trenches IN O
weather vane made Of light wood,
which shows the direction of the
wind. Whenever the wind IL found
favorable for the Hun to send gas
toward the American trenches gas
masks are placed at "alert" ON the
chest 90 as to be adjusted quickly.
The American gas mask has won
high commentator from the French
and British Officers. It is far more
effective than any used by our Allies,
although more simple in construc-
ton. The facepiece Of the mask 10
made Of rubberized cotton fabric,
which 20 held in place by an elastic
band. Celludoid or glass eyepieces
inserted in the fabric allow the sol
der to see. A canister filed with sec
ret chemicals 10 carried In o small
kuapsack and connected with hex-
ible tube which goes into the soldiers
mouth. A nose clamp forces the SOL
der TO breathe through his mouth,
the air being taken In through the
canister, whose absorbent chemicals
filter the gas-laden atmosphere.
The gas defense service Of the
American army is divided into three
branchesi one for furnishing masks,
another for teaching their use and
another for general repairs and re-
placement Of the canisters when the
chemicals lose their strength.

The delicacy Of barrage work con-
sists in accurately placing each she'll
little In advance Of its predecessor
so aS to allow the infantry to go stead
lily forward. If the she'll fire is not
kept up continuously the advancing
infantrymen would be seen and
shelled by the enemy. II the shells
are not accurately placed, they might
wreak havoc among the infantry forc-
ca making the charge.
Although the barrage begins at q
safe distance ahead of the advancing
infantry, the number Of yards be-
tween the on-rushing soldiers and the
bursting shells 10 steadily decreased
until at times 1t is less than ffty
yards. During recent weeks French
infantry has advanced upon German
trenches with the curtain of fire only
twenty-five yards ahead. This Ia be-
neved to be as close as 1t 10 safe to
get to the barrage.
Each gun assisting In furnishing
the barrage has a separate task as
signed to it, and the distance each
shell Ia to be fred, as well as the an
gle at which it is to be aimed, Is work
ed out before the operation begins.
The infantry advances on schedule
figured out with the gunners.
The American gunners' successful
first attempt at laying down barrage
convinced the French officers and
gunners that the khaki-clad soldiers
will be able to handle this delicate
and important work by themselves
much sooner than was imagined they
could master its intricacies.

Weather Forecasters
Helping to Win War

Weather forcasterg are playing q
most important part IN the operations
along the French fighting line. OBJ
seTvation stations are located at short
intervals from the English Channel
to the Alps and frequent bulletins are
issued. The contents of these bulles
tins often determine the course of ac-
ton to be adopted by the French COM
manders.
The artillery must be kept inform
ed Of changing conditions in tempera-
tuYe, humidity and the velocity Of the
winds at different levels, all OF which
are considered In sighting the guns
for distant targets. One morning, in
the early days of the war, the Eng
lish batteries were ordered to resume
firing at a range effective the after
noon before. The elevation of the
guns was not changed, but atmos-
pheric conditions had varied, 80 in
stead Of falling ON the enemy, the
shells landed in the British trenches
If winter operations are planned, IL
is highly important to know when
freezing weather, which win make
the s0dden roads hard enough to bear
the weight of the guns, may be ex.
pected.
To the aviation service, knowledge
Of air conditions up to q height of
10000 feet is vital, and the old style
Of gas attack depended on the direc-
ton of the wind. Poisonous gas was
introduced by Germans when the
wind was blowing towards the Allies
lines and recently used against Amer
lean troops.
1t Is important to keep weather re-
ports from reaching the enemy. Once
the London papers announced that air
conditions for Zeppelins promised
ideal. They neglected to add, how
ever that elaborate plans were being
made at home, so the big airships
met hot reception on the raid which
followed.

MEN IN ALL CAMPS
STIRRED BY VALOR OF
BRETHREN OVERSEAS

Thrilled and inspired by the bril-
liant achievements Of their brethren
already in the trenches, American SOL
diers In all the training camps at
nome are eager and restless to get
over There" at the earliest possible
moment. A year ago these same men
now champing on the bit were pur-
suing the quiet walks Of civil life and
the war to them was thing apart.
The behavior and lighting instincts
shown by the men in khaki while on
the offensive and under incessant fire
from cannon and machine guns and
subjected to continuous raids by Ger
mans have fired the blood and stirred
the men in training to such q pitch
that they are clamoring to get into
the thick Of it.
The splendid qualities shown by
the Americans while under fire have
won for them the highest admiration
OF French poilus fighting near them
and the warmest congratulations
from the French high command.
Every cable dispatch telling Of Am
orleans participating In an engage
ment contains superiative praise quo
ted from official French communica-
tons. For more than three years and
half these communications have
paid ccndign tribute to the heroic
1t came to characterizing the morale,
courage and bravery Of American
troops under fire, even the beautiful
French language, with It's wonderful
descriptive range, was found made
Quate.
Referring to the American troops
the official communications have con-
tanned such expressions as: They
gave proof of energy and morale be-
yond all praise; "They showed q
rare quality of courage, self-pOsses-
sion and calm bravery; Their cour-
ageous calm was wonderful"
Fifty French War Crosses were
awarded to American heroes who dis
played unsurpassed valor and bravery
in repulsing eleven raids by Germans.
The grim determination with which
Americans fought against superior
numbers and expelled Germans who
had gained a temporary footh0ld In
their sector left the French soldiers
almost speechless with amazement.
A dispatch describing the repulsing of
a raid contained this sentence: cal
most entirely surrounded, the Am
orleans did not dream for an instant
of surrendering and their efforts to
extricate themselves were so deter
mined that they succeeded in dis
placing the enemy without leaving q
single prisoner In his hands" The
routing Of a raiding party of forty
Germans by one American soldier who
inflicted severe losses on the raiders
thrilled the French poilus as did
the bold raids made by General Per-
shing's men on German trenches.

TO TEACH SIMPLE CRAFTS

Work Of demonstrating" wounded
American soldiers will be carried ON
at q number of institutions through
out the United States, where the men
win be given medical treatment and
at the same time taught how to make
simple articles like brooms, whisk
brooms, scrub brushes. floor mops,
waste paper baskets and other sup
plies used in great quantities by the
Federal departments.

American soldiers have found a
new use for the "tin helmets" issued
to them. When their coffee gets cold
they pour it into the helmet and hold
It over a fire.
