ir. j ukk, May si. a letter fomn
Ifa'or Oonernl Edward Stuart Wortley, j!
commander of a British army corps In j
T'ranra. In made public here hy hla i
brother. Ralph Stuart-Wortley of New ,
Tork. giving thla dietlngnilehed officer '
tribute to the behavior of a Canadian I
division in France, and describing the : j
horrors which resulted from the use of i i
asphyxiating gases by the German.
''The effect of these gases upon the
men who inhale them," he saya, "haa
been to turn all the tlssuea of th lunga
into liquid, and during the two daya that
it takea for the men to die the victims
are the most hopeless, helpless, sicken
Ing sight imaginable." The letter foU
lcws:
Kffeet of the Gaa. ! I
"You wilt of course have read of the
fighting that tins' been going on round
Tprea Just lately, and of the msnirf
cant behavior of he Canadian division.
Jo their attack on the Yprea salient tha
Germans made use of asphyxiating gases.
Thla gaa is disseminated both In shells
and bombs and also from cylinder which
are hurled in the trenches with tnelr
nowles pushed through the paaptsi
Tho tap of the cylinders are then turned
on and the gaa. which is, as far as we
know, chlorine, la pumped out. The gaa.
which la heavier than air, and wh.th la i
blown hy the wind acrosa our lines, sinks ;
Into our trenches and kills or incapart-
tatea any men who happen to be In them, j
"The affect of the gaa can also he felt
as far back as five or six mllea and pro
duces headache and a amartlng of the
eyes.
Tlefease nf Acta.
"The Oerman papers as well aa falsely
accusing us or making use or poisonous
fumes, apparently defend their conduct (
by stating that the dissemination of this;
gaa results in a swift and painless death
for those with whom it comes In contact,
and consequently Is leas barbarous than
subjecting men to an inferno of shell
fire from which great physical and vnen
lal torture must necessarily be endured.
"I am aure the public cannot have as
yet tha slightest idea of this last dam
nable effort on the part of the Germans
to disregard all laws of humanity and
civilization.
"I have seen our men In hospital after
having been brought back from the
tranches. There la no need to ask for
the ward In which they are, aa their
groaning Is quite sufficient a direction
of itaelf. In one ward there are eighteen
cases. They are ell Bitting bolt upright,
or awaylng back and forward, gasping
for breath; their faces, hands and nesjaa
a shiny gray-black color, their . ayes
glazed and unable absolutely to apeak or
feJ. ' ; , ..;. ;
Dylnar for Two Daya. j
"It takes two daya for these men- to
die. During these two -daya Ihey are in
the moat acute agony, and If by the
slightest-chance they recover from j the
pnisou they will In all probability be ren
dered useless for life, aa tha effect of
the gas Is to turn-all the tissues of the
lungs into liquid. The doctors and nurses
aro working day and night in the at
tempt to give some rollef. But there Is
nothing to be done. It Is the most hope
Iras helpless, sickening sight mag
Inable. Our medical officer, who haa
had a targe experience of the habits of
African and Asiatic natives, tells us that
Ir. all hla life he never haa had to deal
with such an example of scientific tor-ti-re.
At first T, was inclined to disbelieve
the accounts of the ill-treatment of eur
prisoners at the hands of the enemy and
to put them down to the Inevitable ex
aggerations of warfare, but now that I
have come face to faoe with Oerman
methods in the field my optnlona have
undergone a gradual but permanent
change." , ,
Eitel's Captain
Used Kites to Help
Catch the Wireless
fCorreapondence of the Associated Press.)
IJVERFOOU May 24 -Some li.terest
Ing particulars as to how the captain
of the German raider Kronprlns Eitel
l-Medrtrh. which la now interned In the
L'nlted States, Intercepted wireless mes
sages and avoided the rttentlon of the
British warships, la given by the cap
tain of the British ship Invercoe, one of
the Kronprlnx Eitel'a vlctlma.
The British captain said: "They
rigged up an eight-foot kite, used the
thinly drawn wire of lord Thompson's
Bounding machine, made thla fast to the
kite and 'attached to 't the wireless re
ceiver. Every night they would send up
the kite and catch every bit of wireless
pews that was going. Their own wlre
lrsa could send only MO mllea, but by
the kite arrangement, they could hear
up to. 2,600 miles. The news that waa
picked up In thla way v as written out
in German and put up on a bulletin
board,
"These kites had to bo flown against
the wind, and on sending them up, the
course of the ship had to be altered so
as to bring the wind ahead. They lost
sixteen kites during the time I waa on ' i
board, due to the wind auddenly shift- j
'ng, but they had' material enough to i
make aa many jnore as tliey wantaa.
