Use Gas
i'm Future Wars

history, one will find that the vic
torious general conquered his enemy
usually because of the fact that he so
chose his position as to have his flank
protected by river, mountain range or
some naturally strong barrier.
Much of the strategy of these bat
ties consisted in maneuvering so as
10 obtain the advantage of position.
With the use of gas it is possible to
saturate piece of ground so that no
troops can cross it, and thus make an
artificial barrier for the flank or pro-
iect the lines of communication. More
over, these artificial barriers can be
kept barriers for just as short a time
as the strategy of the particular bat
tie demands
These are but hints, but show the
tremendous unexpected possibilities
of gas in warfare.
"One can easily imagine the situa.
tion at the time the fighting was hand
to hand with the spear or the sword
and gunpowder was first introduced
Which in those day, perhaps, permitted
the antagonists to fight at a range Of
100 or 200 yards. There must have
been a great outcry as to prohibiting
the horrible new mode of warfare, and
1t must have been felt that 1t was very
unfair to stand off 200 yards rather
than to meet in combat man to man.
But no one looking back on that
period would attempt 20 say 1t was
possible to have stayed the hand OF
progress and to have prevented by
any legislation or agreement the use
of gunpowder In warfare.
Moreover, the consensus of opinion
today would be that the hand-to-hand
fighting with spear and sword was
more cruel and inhumane than the
fighting with the gun and the bullet.
Similarly, at the present time we can.
not effectually stay the progress of
science, and to attempt to do so Is
not only unwise but is also prevent
ing the possibilities of a really more
humane type of war"
