ADDINC ' We have heard much of the poison gas introduced by the Germans as a new and terrible means of waging war. We have heard - little of the equally dangerous poisons to which many, war workers back of'the lines may be exposed in their efforts to support our men fighting the barbaric Germans. Special danger from poisoning is involved, for example, in tne manu facture of high explosives, notably deadly explosive trinitro-toluene (T. pi'-, N. T.),-which caused .the Halifax dls" aster. Unless certain precautions are taken (he T. N. T. worker is liable to develop any one of a variety of disease symptons. He may suffer from skin troubles, from gastric catarrf, from a fatal toxic jaundice. What makes his danger greater is P*';i that T. N. T. sends out poisonous fumes at a temperature as low as 90 degrees. For safety, therefore, no worker on molten T. N. T. should be required or permitted work in a room that does not have the most efficient ventilating devices. Danger from poisoning may likeZeppelin Flag on Exhibition f m wasmngiun museum nun d-. Although little has been heard of the Marines since, they landed in France, they have sent back to this country a unique trophy of war. It is a flag which flew from the bow of the German Zeppelin L-49, which was brought down last fall by Lieutenant Lefevre of the French army. The flag was presented to Major Henry R. Lay, Brigade Adjutant of the Marines serving in France, by Lieutenant Lefevre. Major Lay sent the flag to General George Barnett, Major General Commandant of the Marine Corps. General Barnett turned the flag over to the National Museum at Washington, where it is now on exhibition in a glass case. The. flag is red in color and rectangular in shape and is five by three and a half feet in size.
