German Ingenuity in producing was
with which to overwhelm the enemy
has not always worked out as in-
tended or wholly to the advantage ot
those employing it. In the recent
offensive the intensive gas shell bom-
bardment with which the German
precedes his attacks has had occa-
sionally unforsten after-effects upon
the Germans themselves.
For the purpose of the offensive
the enemy employs a shell contain-
ing a double purpose chemical, af-
fecting first the eyes and then the
skin. It is a modification of the nor-
mal -tear gas" shell, and the usual
distinctive odor is very much reduc-
ed, so that the gas is not so eaay to
detect. Men who suffer front its ef-
fects are temporarily blinded, and
close contact with the fumes pro-
duces an unpleasant skin irrttatton.
For the average case eight or ten
days' hospital treatment is necesitary,
but the gas is neither fatal nor does
It indict permanent injuries, for our
men are not exposed to it long. 13o
much for our side of the question.
From the German point of view
the weapon has proved decidedly
double-edged. This was especially the
case on the Somme during the last
offensive. The chetnical was so con-
centrated that it was markedly less
volatile than the usual gas shell con-
tent and wherever a shell exploded
a considerable proportion of the
charge impregnated the surrounding
ground. The fumns suspended in the
air dispersed fairly rapidly, but the
actual site of the explosion remaloed
virulently poisonous. la the usual
way the spot where a gas shell has
burst is dangerous for forty-eight
hours or so, but this coneestrated
chemical remained active tor a mach
longer period.
The result was decidedly emote.
for It was evidently one of the many
little things that the "Grosser Gen-
eral Stab" omitted in its calculations.
The German artillery latheied the al-
lied positions with gas shells in the
most lavish manner. Every redoubt,
support line, ruined village and
road centre was plastered with the
stuff. The great assault was launch-
ed and the allied line yielded ground.
The Germans moved upa ad occupied
it. Their bombardment had been
miles deep; their advance WAR in
proportion.
Thousand* of German troops peer
ell up into the gas Infected area, sat
down for cover in virulently poisoned
shell holes, billeted themselves in
abandoned butments sprayed with
their own gas—and only began to
notice the effect about six hours lat-
er! During the action OUT men had
been exposed to the fumes for a short
period, 6ut the Germans came and in
their ignorance literally steeped
themselves in It.
Exhausted men lay down in the
dusk on dew wet ground where the
stuff had burst; they woke later to
