days in the open and as long as a

Another agent is toxic smoke,
which has no odor. It Is yellow and
not easily seen. While not deadly,
it burns the nose and throat, and
makes soldiers ill for several hours.
Smoke, of which there are numerous
varieties, is a good defense against
machine gun nests. An attack made

instance, not only blinds the gunners
temporarily, but sets Are to inflam

blistering agents, while others are
used to retard enemy action or to
screen movements of troops.
When engaged in actual warfare, a
soldier must be on the alert at all
times for a gas attack. Captain Gem
pel said. The most certain hours are
very early in the morning or evening,
and all through the night. This is
because the damp, cool air keeps the
gas close to the ground. Gases laid
down or shot into an area during the
day evaporate or rise with heat
waves.
Phosgene Most Deadly.
Troops in the front line or on the
march in the open are not in as great
a danger as are those concealed in
forests against airplane attacks, as
the gas will stay in the damp under
brush for hours or even days.
The type of gas most dangerous is
phosgene. It is invisible, but has an
odor similar to green corn or musty
hay. It drifts with the wind and
lingers from ten minutes to three
hours. It is deadly, and a few whiffs
mean a casualty.

The only defense against chem
ical agents is the gas mask, put on
instantly at the first alarm, and tak
en off only after the last trace of gas
has gone, Captain Gempel said. The
newest type may adjusted in four
seconds, and is constructed with a
special mouthpiece that permits the
wearer to talk over the telephone, or
to shout to his neighbor.
White phosphorus and tear gas
bombs were demonstrated, thrown
both by hand and by rifle. A smoke
screen was laid about the R. O. T. C.
men to screen them as they marched
toward camp. The march became a
stampede as just a touch of tear gas
was added.
Mrs. George Luschinsky, who has
