GAS WARFARE..

(Continued from yesterday.)

P

Summarised, the chief reasons which led to the general adoption of the $.B.R. were: (1) Its efficacy against all gases: (2) The comfortable position for the wearer when the respirator was being carried at the "alert" position: (3) The rapidity with which it could be adjusted; and (4) The long period for which it was effec- tive in tse--the anti-gas properties of the canister holding good for forty hours without recharging. The value of the S.B.R. was demonstrated to the full during the dark days of the spring of 1918, when, in some cases. men wore their masks for eight hours

at a stretch, while carrying out their duties. At this time, when our men were going backwards for days on end, and often discarding much of their property and gear as they went, the one thing they held tightly to all through the retreat was the small box

respirator.

OTHER ANTI-GAS MEASURES.

Apart from the use of respirators, various other means were adopted to counter the gas danger. 1 a gas- "shell burs; inside a dug-out, the fumes were driven out by means of fires and fans, and special arrangements were made to prevent gas, either from shell or from a cloud-attack, from emering the dug-out from the trench or the immediate vicinity. Dug-outs were constructed with a double porch, fitted with an exterior and an interior gas proof curtain, which formed a reliable protection. It should be noted that practically all the gases used were heavier than air, and therefore sank into the trench, from which they were removed, when the attack was ever, by means of fans.

CAS: ALARMS.

The primary appliance for sound ing an alarm, should evidences of a cloud-gas attack be observed, was the Strembos Horn. The noise made by fhis instrument could be heard clearly for four hundred yards, and they were so allotted that the sounding of a horn. could be heard easily by the guardians of the horas further down and behind the line, and thus ensured the alarm being passed immediately along the (whole, long, The horn was attached to a cylinder of compressed air (com- pressed under 150 atmospheres) which was sufficient to sound it for about a minute The Strombos horn was for ise in case of a cloud-attack only and not for a local gas bombardment. In the latter event, secondary alarm appliances, such as gongs, metal rails:| ¡rattles, etc., were set in motion, while lin a cloud-attack all these, as well, as. the Strombos horas were employed. Importans precautionary measures in tended to reduce the number of gas
