Chemical Warfare Dates Back as Far as 431B. C., When Athenians \ Battled Spartans, S ays Officer of Seventh Corps Area Here Modern Gas More Deadly. Next War to Be in Air; Ink-, fish and Polerate Teachers. By MA.J. CHARLES ’W. MASON, Chrmlnl Warfare ^Offtrrr.^Seventh Corps Man * Improvement*) on the pro tertive and offensive measure* of the inlifish and polecat win he the major weapon* In the next gtyeat war. The issue* will be decided) by chemicals from the air. The first illustration of the modern smoke screen, which jean ba thrown for miles, obscuring advancing forces, Is the Inktlsh, The skunk or polecat Is the finest example of chemical warfare In existence. He is a first class fightlmg man and his chemical equipment ;ls guaranteed to rru/ke any dog too proud to fight. The utilization of chemical agents in battle Is not ne<w. The earliest known atempt to u« gas as an of fensive weapon was in the war be tween the Athenians and Spartans, 4.11 to 404 B. C., when, during the siege of Platea and Helium wood saturated with sulphur and pitch was burned under the walls of those cities in order to generate choking and poisonous fumes. The next recorded use of chemical weapons was by Aeneas, who de scribed fite compositions formed of chemical substances, making them easily ignltable and with difficulty to extinguish. The mixtures consisted principally of pitch, sulphur, tow, Incense and resinous wood chips. This compound was put into pots and thrown, after ignition, from be sieged towns upon the "tortoise” or shelters under which the besiegers at tempted to approach the walls. Later incendiary arrows came into use. These were projected from a distance against the enemy's wooden struc tures. setting them on fire. Original ly, these arrows were fired by hand, but they were enlarged to such an extent that a catapult was necessary to launch them. , How They were made. In conatruction. a perforated tube containing tow, resin, sulphur and pe troleum was bound t© the shaft, be hind the arrowhead. This substance was ignited Just prior.to launching. This so-called chemical attack called for chemical protection, and the first attempts mads to render the missies^ ineffective consisted In throwing} earth upon them. Subsequently, , cloths, saturated with vinegar, were found to be a still better means. Then began the old competition between weapons of attack and methods of protection. It was necessary, then, tok find a chemical substance, the fumesjjj of which could not be extinguished! by the saturated cloths thrown upon! them. The early Greeks and Romans used! chemical weapons with considerably success, and developed what wap known as "Greek fire,” said to have been Invented by Callinlcus about 6*10 A. D. In all probability It was use>l at an earlier age, about the tim* mf Constantine the Great, in the fourjth centiury after Christ. It, Is not definitely known Whetlyer this composition contained saltpeter. At ani" rate, ingenious chemical mix tures \were used as weapons of at tack, including pitch, resin, petirol eurn, s4’lphur ‘ and quicklime. \VJnen this substance was thrown upon the. water, the quicklime, being quendhed by thev \water, generated heat suf ficient t/^.ignite the petroleum, wkilch on Its pa-H developed sufficient heat to igntte t*fte other combustible) tub stances. \ / Gas Hfuthly Asphyxlatfng. The light h ydocarhons, illseogsged from the evaporated petrolaunv more especially benzine, formed <wtth the air an explosive1 mixture, ^hsis, ex plosions took pte-ce and enormous clouds of smoke* and soot were de veloped. The sulphur, catching fire, developed In Its combustion; a gas of highly asphyxlarting action^ which rendered approach impossible and served to expel the enemy .from a position. It was difficult to extinguish this fire, since water poured upon it served to spread the pep-oleum, and propagate the flamea. "Greek Fire” was still In use at the time of th© Crusades in the 13th century, and was employed by the Saracens against the Christians. Its secret has been lost, but the idea survives. The "flammenwerfer” or flam© projector was given great publicity, but was proved useless during the World war. These devices consisted., of large syringes, after the style of a fire engine, the mouths having the shape of dragons and other mngssters with wide open Jaws. From th* orifices, burning liquids, especially pwtrnleum, ware projected toward the enemy, who usually fled terrified by the fire, • or etuplrted by the gases. Crimean War Strategy. During toe Crimean wan-, Admiral I^rd Dundonald, who, excepting Lord Nelsort, was one of the ablest commanders the British navy ever had. submitted a plan for the reduc tion of Sebastopol by the use of gas. His plan was to obtain four or five hundred tons ©f sulphur, and about J.OOO tons of c<4ke, and with the first favorable and steady wind to evapo rlz* the sulphur, with to* use of the coke, and thus suffocate the garrison. Forms of chemical warfare were u»*d by hoarding parties during the war of 1812, and as late as th© civil war an attempt was marl* to us* It during the siege of Charleston. The us# of gas in th# world war was a. direct violation of the agree meat entered Into at The Hague con ference In 1899, whereby *n the pow ers, except the United Static* pledged jemselves not to use suftocatlng or poisonous gases. Admiral Mahan, United States navy, the American delegate to this conference, however, refused to commit the United States against the use of asphyxiating gas and projectiles. In view of the attitude taken In some quarters in regard lo th© use of gat in warfare, Admiral Mahan a rea eons in particular, for refusing to commit th© United States, were es pecially interesting. They wer© in part. follow*: •*The reproach of cruelty *n<l per fldy. addressed against th© United against firearms and torpedoes, si though both are employed now with out scruple. It Is Illogical, and not d»monstrat gbiy human, to be tender about pliyxlatlng men with gae. when all ©re prepared to admit that it is allowable to Mow U* feMftpp *Vl fit I No. 1—Airplane view of Ktlgewood arsenal, Mary land, showing the man nfai till ing or operation* area.

Germans Prepared Before. Evidence Is both overwhelming nnd conclusive that long before the world war. Germany had been making preparations on a large acale for an ticipated hostilities. American travel ers In Germany will doubtless recall being confronted with the war tax. Imposed upon the usual convenience* and necessities of life. In the enormous and excellently de vised and thoughtfully elaborated plans for anticipated warfare, must be Included toxio chemical production. For many years Germany had been a leader In chemistry, and the prac tlcal application of chemistry to the production of substance* of great and far reaching practical value. The spectacular achievements of the guns of Krupp von Bohlen and Skoda are widely known; In particu lar, the havoo wrought by the 32 cm. howitzers on the Belgian fortifica tions during the early offensive, when It Is well to remember that while these arms of huge csliber, enormous weight and terrific impact during the early days were in no sense ever dis carded, yet the terrific employment of gases during later periods ss sumed such great Importance thnt It might he considered thnt the toxic atom demonstrated a greeted effec tlveness than the ton of steel. Gas at 1'pea, The first attack during the world war was delivered by the Germans north of Yore* on April 22, at -t 3n p. m. On the sector where the British nnd French met between Blxchoote and l,angmarck, this was naturally a weak point In the line, as Is always the case where troops of different nationalities Join. The time of the emission of the gas was about 15 minutes. It Is not necessary to elaborate upon Germany's read! ness and ease with which this highly organized and abundantly equipped peacetime Industry, nsturally on gaged, and the production of manifold and high peace time production was suddenly developed over night he tween suns, and made the function, In the vast production of toxic chem icals, Invaluable for aggressive com bat purposes. Gas had come to stav, and when the full realization had reached those In authority, protec tlve measures bersme as Important as the supply of ammunition nt the front. From the handkerchiefs, veils and linen of the women of Frnnre and Kngland, developed the modern mask, which now forms an Integral part of the aoldlera' equipment of today, and doubtless In the future a necessary part of the personal equipment of every rlvlllnn within the entire theetre of active operations. Tha project Ion of the various gases has developed from Ihls first cloud attack, which waR released from cylinders used In modern soda, water fountain* To the fillings of artillery shells, hand grendes, airplane bombs, and mines of today. In other words, there is no, arm In any service of a modern army, whleh does not employ either protective or offensive Imple ments of chemical warfare. And so, the lessons taught us by the Inkflsh and polecat have brought us to s clearly recognized condition that neither the pronouncement of a nn tlonal edict, nor even the agreement of league power*, will suffice to con trol, curb or nullify the future actlvl ties of chemical warfare. m W® **** Campaign (inns Roaring in East Watson Brands Democratic Ticket “Impossible Mesalliance.” By GLADSTONE WILLIAMS.
