WHY FIRST GAS

London Lecturer Declares Recent Berlin Statistics
 Show Great Loss of Life

London. January e0-CBeciprocai News Service.) In his lecture on The Ypres Salient now being devilered daily in London. Lieutenant Colonel Beckles Wilson of the Canadian forces, late town major of YDres. describes the first use of gas waves by the Ger mans The first attack was against French colonists. black Turcoman troops. who fled in panic leaving wide gap in the line on the left flank of the British army in the Ypres sali- ent. The new gas was then quickly directed against the Canadians, who tenaciouslv clung To their position on Hill so, though with no protection against the terrible green cloud un- til their losses were so great that they had to fall back.
 Why the Germans never followed up their success has been the great est mystery of the war" said Colonel Wilson. "Ypres was almost in their grasp, then the channel ports would have quickly fallen only in the last fe wweeks has the mystery been cleared up. official reports have been uncovered in Berlin showins that in those two first attacks the Germans

There was far greater loss of life 9 far greater number of men engaged and a more stupendous amount of ammunition ex- pended in the eeaseless battle of the Ypres salient he said than on any other battlefield in history. No fight ing in the war approached 1t for hard ship and peril.
 He protested against the dissertation of thss Holy Ground of British Arms by the erection of estaminets and cheap hotels everywhere in the salient by those anxious to make an honest pen ny out of tourists" He believed thas certain of the ruins should be set aside for preservation particularly the Grande Place with it's one or two wall stumps of the ancient Cloth Hall and the pile of stone wreckage of th. ancient Cathedral of Sit Martin.

 The order contained detailed direc- tions concerning recruiting and organ izing stores, aviation squads and other units. and specifically ordered that 500 flyers, equipped for bombing flights, should be in readiness by March l, to break through on the west.
 Some of the newspapers print the document today, accompanying it with a semi-official declaration that it's &u- thor, an insane former officer, was ar rested Saturday and is now in sani- tarium.
