I Effects of Gas in War
Not os Bad as Bullets
By l.OG AN I LEA Dr.Nl.NG, M. !).
I'HE WAR GASES have not

, : .re said in l'.tiio: “If the man
is gassed survives the war, h

i. , ling, rending effects of high

■ net thrusts.”
No Chance To Use Gas
Tin real reason for the lack of
I r annence of gas in this war is
tn.it practically nobody who was
in treat had gases to use or a
ee to use them. A prominent
military observer told me the other
da. that it is quite possible that
the Germans will use gas as a de
fu-ive measure if they have to
i : eat before the Russian army
t: spring. The Russians and the
Greeks didn’t have gas so they
cc.Ain't use it when they retreated,
tin ■ is a poor weapon to use on the
c!i i. ive, because if you lay down
a . nrrage of gas, you have to move
air own army immediately into
it while the other army moves
aw; y from it.
War gases arc classified on the
Vims of their chemical properties
and the kind of action they have.
They can also be very carefully
■d with a view to their par
t. i ir kind of action to tactical
.ntage. There are five general
of war gases:

group was a great disappointment
to tiie (lermans in the last war
1 heoretically, they would be the
t)i , t of the* pastes because they
would overwhelm the enemy with
poisonous effects. But they were
found unsuitable for chemical war
tale because it was almost impos
si! !e to produce lethal concentra
tions on the battlefield. Sub-lethal
concentrations were harmless.
