COL. SLEEMAN, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE VISITOR, ON WORLD CRISIS
"The importance of educating the civilian population to the steps to be taken in the event of a gas attack, cannot be too strong- ly emphasised. Obviously, if the enemy has to choose between at- tacking a strongly fortified military position, with the troops all fully prepared for gas warfare, and the civilian population un- protected, the latter will be the choice, and they will then be the first to clamour for peace," said Col. J. L. Sleeman, of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade, who arrived in the Colony this morning. The distinguished visitor was met by Mr. A. Morris, Mr. A. el Arculli and other representatives of the local branch of the Brigade.
