FIRST USE OF GAS IN war
In Crude Form That Weapon Was
Employed Centuries Before the
Coming of Christ.

The earliest use of deleterious gases
In siege warfare is recorded in the his
tory Of the PelOponnesian wars from
ADJ 4O4 B. c. During this struggle
between the Athenians and Spartans
and their respective allies the cities Of
Palatea and Delium were besiegeG.
Wood saturated with pitch and sul-
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes,
which would stupefy the defenders
and make the task of attacking forces
less difficult. Another form of the
same method Of attack used about this
date was to fill caldron with molten
pitch, sulphur and burning charcoal,
and to blow the fumes with the aid of
primitive form of bellows and ais
blast over the defenders lines.
Greek-fire, about which much was
heard in the wars of the middle ages,
was a liquid, the composition Of which
Is now unknown, that was spurted
through the air, chiefly in sea fights,
in order to set fire to the ships Of the
enemy, and 1t was used by the Byzan.

The stuff was a mystery. Beyond

AS a matter Of fact, 1t came from
Transcaucasia, where its production
was a very important industry. For
centuries it had been widely used in
Asiatic countries, and the source OF
the material was a secret carefully

Eventually the secret was revealed
by an Armenian merchant, who, tfav.
