Reid, © BAVAGE METHOD OF WARFARE @ermany Broke International Agree. thent When She Began the Use of Poison Gas, Poisonous gases are produced by some explosives which have been com- monly used in warfare, They are the Products of the explosion. The direct use of poison gases, however, wad specifically inhibited by The Hague ¢#onvention. They were used deliber ately for the first time on April 22 1915, on part of the Ypres salient. A ison gas cloud (chlorine) was there munched by the Germans against the French and British, where they joined the Turcos and Canadians receiving the brunt. Frustrited in the quick accomplisli ment of thelr aims, the Germans again threw all honor aside, ns they had dove #1 Belgium, and used poison gases, In this way they proposed to end the war quickly. The immediately bitter pur pose was to kill and affect the morale of the colonials. Written and spoken narratives of the effect of that great greenish-yellow cloud on the minds of those soldiers, as it rose right out of the ground, rolled toward and envel oped them, the first whiffs choking, then producing spasms of agony, are thrillingly terrible. Many died a hor- fible death; many who raced away #head of the weird waves got sufficient of the gas to affect their health seri ously. The morale: was not broken, how ever, and the war was net soon over If the Germans had done the vicious thing more thoroughly the war might have been over long ago~~American Review of Reviews. CAME OVER 10 ITs FRIENDS 'Eagle in France Quickly Naturalized When Made Prisoner, and Went into Battle Against Huns. Ail "the American army paper printed in France: On Bastille day a group of French and Yanks were celebrating in a little town not far behlod the lines. The Yanks were doing their part by pitch fog small coins into a tin can when a big eagle swooped down from the north and alighted on the ridgepole of a barn. He was 50 black and rapa- cous and altogether militaristic in ap pearance that he looked ds though he might have flown squarely out of the Prussian coat of arms, "Frits, In!" shouted a French sol- dier, sud the gume stopped. Fomebody got a net, and somebody else got up on the roof. The net was too ghort and the eagle just looked at it, yawned and went to sleep. A young French soldier who started a second offensive was foiled when the eagle gwoke and flew lazily to a neighboring k~ roof. Another tried. This time the eagle flopped off and alighted on the American billet. He seemed to think he was safe there, or perhaps he did't mind, for the next attempt to snare him suc- ceeded. "Phat night the battle began. A rain Be of shell fell on the town as Yank and C4 French went up into the line. And " Fritzla went in, too. He had be - come naturalized overnight.
