j a cold. But it was not a cold.
The use which the German army
: has made of poison gas in the present
war has brought a new and terrible
element of destruction into military
science. Just what this terrible new
agency Is. what part it plays in the
offensive and defensive tactics, and to
what extent If any It must be reckoned
with as a permanent element In future
warfare?these arc problems which
the military experts throughout the
, world are trying to determine. Here
in France whore the poison gas has
: been used with most deadly effect in
Champagne, Orgonne, and all along
the lighting line, its ravages have been
nartlcularlv annarent. and tne mill
tary attaches of many countries have
been active in securing data for their
governments on this new agency.
Personal Investigation.
Colonel Cosby shared the keen Interest
of his brother military investigators
and In one respect he went
far beyond them. There was ample
data, from the battlefields and the
hospitals, where ghastly paticnta were
a living personal Investigation of the
new element. But Colonel Cosby determined
on a direct personal investigation
on the clement itself?the
poison gas in all its forms?Just as a
medical scientist has at times put
some new serum to the supreme test
on himself.
"But you should be warnod of the
j extreme risk," said the chief chemist.
| "It is very dangerous?a matter of life

these were at last secured, and the
American military attache was the

found himself in the presence of long
lines of bottles, ranged on shelves,
i much as in a chemist's shop. Surgeons
and white-garbed attendants and
chemical experts were about, with
pestle and mortar, vacuum pumps and
air-tight jars, making experiments and
tests of gases and antidotes. Near hv
hung a line of gas masks, with gaping
eye-holes, used to counteract the
poisonous fumes.
Three Distinct Croups.
The large bottles contained the various
forms of liquid gas, dirert front

strength. Most of them showed a
volatile yellowish liquid which on being
exposed to the air gave off the
deadly gases which have wrought such
! havoc. There were three distinct
groups of these gases: first, those
bursting into flame and commonly
known as liquid flame; second, the
tear-produelng gases, which do not
kill or permanently malm, but which
so blind a column of onrushing troops
