"The British, early In the wnr, de veloped very satisfactory smoke can dles which wen1 used by all the al lies. The Americans also developed u candle which was satisfactory, but which did not get Into production and u-e in Krance before the armistice. The smoke Is normally white, must have maximum capacity and be cool enough to prevent thG setting up ol air currents nnd thus rise from the ground. It must be heavy so as to be displaced by the minimum amount of wind nt low velocity. These require ments are admirably met by cnndles which produce a smoke consisting of zinc chloride.

The flame projectors will probably never boused In a future war. Smoke- material, on tho other hand, will have n very exten sive and ever-Increasing use.

There was In progress of develop ment by tho British and Americans during the lntter part of the war smoko candles which would give a toxic smoke.

Di phenylchlorarsine Is a solid which va porizes In tho heat of tho candle and is obtained In such a state of division that It will penetrate most gns masks. Such toxic smokes, of which thero will probably lie others developed, will find a very extensive use In the future. It Is the greatest step mado thus far In tho new use of smoke."
