BattlefeIds of the Future
Never to Be Free From Ga,

Poisonous gases In the past war caused
273 per cent. Of all American casualties
killed and wounded. Considering only the
wounded admitted to hospitals over 81 per
cent. were gas alone. and yet the use Of
gas. even at the end of the World War, was
a childs game compared to what ii will be
in the future With gaS drifting from
clouds let loose on the battle line, with gas
being thrown to enormous distances by all
calibres Of guns, and with gas raining from
airpaneS or bursting from airpane bombs,
the battehelds of the future will never be
free from gas.
"T'his Is no oNaggeration We have the
raw materials for these gases. We have
the personnel to manufacture them. We
have the factories. More than that. we have
the men In the army and the navy and the
air service that viii distribute them. and
the military man who fails I'M the future
to consider gas In every problem he studies
Is falling to consider the most powerful
weapon OF war; both for offence and dc
fence.
"There Is still talk in places that chemical
warfare may be abolished by agreement.
Ii can't be done. If you can abolish cheml-
cal warfare by agreement you can abolish
all war by agreement. It may be argued
that we have agreements that have been
kept, such as not to use poison bullets or
not to poison wells. Such agreements have
been kent for one reason and one reason
only. The methods are inefficient. Poison
ing OF wells is species Of guerrilla war

casualties by the tens and hundreds of
thousands, Is too powerful force, for any
military commander to overlook either for
offence or defence, and too powerful for
any nation to dare trust that no other na-
tion will use IL in war. History proves
that no powerful method of making war
has ever been abandoned until more
powerful method was devised. And why
shouldn't we use poison gas? 1t Is just as
sportSmanlke TO fight with gas as it is to
fight with rifles or swords. Gas being so
universally adaptable, requires the highest
intelligence and the keenest minds to use ii
successfully. We Americans believe we
have the mind the skill and the ingenuity
to use IL just little better than any one
else
"A recent writer in military magazine
stated that gas would probably not be used
In our barrage during an attack, because
of the difficulty IL might cause our own
troops. He forgot the enemy. a dangerous
lapse of memory for any military man.
Battles have been lost and nations have
been swept away because commanders OF
armies forgot to figure on what the enemy
might do Consider our own barrage behind
which our troops are marching to battle
with the wind blowing toward us. This
is the most dangerous condition for our
own use or gas. But what of the enemy?
This is exactly the opening he is looking
for. Under such conditions he will deluge
our advancing soldiers with gas from the
very moment they start until they cross his
lines. If we do not deuge him in our bar
rage, we give him the use of the most power

himself. III the wind be blowing toward

Heet OF alfcfHIt tney could force the
evacuation Of the American forts in Hawaii

Corregidor.
This Is merely an outline OF the method

is this seizng Of Corregidor when com
pared with its seizure by any other means.

fantastic? Or that it would be impossible

that is the cool and carefully weighed opin-

In all the thousands Of years that men
have schemed to slay other men for greed,
ambition or the love of women nothing
even remotely so terrible has come into
warfare as the discovery and codly scien-
tifc application of poison gases as a wea-
pom. The possibilities are absolutely IL
lmitabe There are 100000 chemicals
known to man and as yet only five per
cent. OF this vast number have been used
for experimentation. Yet with the few dis
coveries made in the five per cent. and
employed in the Great War the casualties
were terrific.
The Surgeon-General Of the United
States Army reports that almost one man
out Of every three that entered the hos
pitfalls of the American Expeditionary
Force as battle casualty was suffering
from enemy gas. Including the Marines
and attached naval personnel poison gas
caused 72,05G casualties. Of which l,271

death did to American fighting men. What
IL did to the French and the British can
be imagined without statistics.

drifted a poison cloud across the field of
Ypres until they surrendered more than
three years later, they developed only three
