cool enough to prevent the setting up of air currents and thus rise from tho ground. It must be heavy so as to be displaced by the minimum amount of wind of low velocity. These requirements are admirably met by candles which produce a smoke consisting of zinc chloride.
 As regards the future of incen- diary material, my own opinion. which opinion, however. is substanti- ated by at least some of the military critics, ia that incendiary material, except for small arms and long range shell and drop bombs will have at least very limited. and. perhaps no use. The flame projectors will probably never be used in O future war. Smoke material on the other hand. will have a very extensive and ever-increasing use. By the use of tho smoke screen during m attack casualties can be largely reduced
 Thero was in progress of develop mont by the British and Americans during tho latter part of the var, smoke candles which would give a toxic smoko. The toxic material em- ployed was diphenylchlorarsine.

Diphenylchlorarsine is a solid which vaporizes in the heat of the candle and is obtained in such q state of division that it will penetrate most gas masks. Such toxic smokes, of which there will probably be others deyeloped. will find a very extensive use in the future. It is the greatest step made thus far in the new use of smoke"
