Sept 2.-The Army's chemical war;

With eyes and ears cooked at air
raid precautions in England and
other European nations harried by
fear of "blitzkrieg"-a lightning war
of destruction to demoralize civilians
into forcing government to sur
render-the experts at the Nations
center for chemical warfare have
prepared:
l. A gas mask that could be made
cheaply for civilians.
2. Plans for organized training
and education to be used if the
need should arise.
Forty million masks have been
made for English civilians and sim
liar precautions have been taken in
France, Germany, Italy and indus
trialized sections of Russia. All
have trained civilian groups in first
aid, decontamination and leadership
to prevent panic.
Except for the gas masks, protec-
tive plans in the United States are
still in the paper stage-ready for
use when needed, officers say.

For Chance Air Raids on u. S.
Army Chemical Experts Foresee
Mass Production in Six Months

| provided to make them but tech
nically qualified and responsible
prospective manufacturers are
studying the models so that they
may be ready for production.
Officers estimate it would take
about six months before plants could
turn them out in quantity. The fac
tories would not necessarily have to
be built by the Army since there are
already approximately Is companies
in this country manufacturing COM
mercial masks for use in private
industry.
In addition, the only mask fac
tory for all the Nations armed
forces, now turning out 100000 at
Edgewood Arsenal, could assemble
300, 1000 civilian masks by operating
on 24-hour basis.
The civilian mask could be made
for about $l.25. as compared with
1925 for the standard Army mask.
Unlike the Army mask. which has
long rubberized air hose leading
from the face piece to a canister
carried in a canvas bag under the
left arm. the civilian mask is of the
"snout" type.
Filter agents are contained in re-
ceptacles fastened directly to the
face piece, made of heavy canvas,
very similar in appearance to the
German army masks, which con-
tains very little expensive rubber.

In only three of the five air raids
did bombs fall on Warsaw.
They failed to hit railroad or high
way bridges across the Vistula River,
Polands outlet to the sea, or, as far
as could be ascertained, any mill
tary objectives.
The days longest and severest raid
lasted for an hour and a half.
Anti-aircraft batteries encircling
Warsaw made it impossible for the
German planes to dive low to reach
their objectives.
Targets, apparently, were govern

tula which, if put out of commission.
