BRITISH ARMY TO
FIGHT GAS ATTACK'
1:0.\'l)ON, Sept. 20,. Correspond-i
once of The Associated Press. )-The1
British army plans to light the Ger-
man gas attacks with fire. This is
the scheme recommended by a com-
mittee of inventors headed by Sir Hi
ran Maxim, who has designed a sim
ple apparatus which the government
is now testing. ,
The object of the apparatus is to
cause large and rapidly spreading
fires by means of speciallyaiesigncd
incendiary bombs thrown in the path
101' the advancing gas at a distance of
several hundred yards. By this means,
since the heating of the air must
cause an upward current, it is expect-
ed to drive the gas up out of harm’s
way.
011111911011 of the
Sir Hiram's
scheme is as follows.
“The German gas at one atmos-
phere of pressure is two and a half
times as heavy as air. In escaping
into the air it very quickly becomes
mixed with a large quantify at air, so
that by the time it reaches our
trenches it is, as a rule, less than 1;
per cent. heavier than the surround;
ing air; that is, it is extremely light.
as compared with the air, but it is
quite strong enough to prove fatal.
In most cases we had the air that has
01111 onethousandth part of chlorine
is the one that has“ done the most
harm.
”It occurred to me some months
ago that, if a tire could be produced
between the gas and our trenches, the.
rapid upward movement of the air
would take the chlorine along with
it and this is quite true. The bombs
that I made were to be thrown by
hand. but it was found that, in order
to be thrown any distance, they had
to be made quite small. and, more-
over, they could not be throw us far
as the ofllcers WISH to throw them
i delivered 100 to the government for
experimental purposes. A few of.
these have been tested, and it was
found that the tire should be smile?
and farther away, so i have design.
ed a very much simpler and larger
form. The firm in London who PTO-
poses to make them have designef 11'
machine for throwing. them With great
accuracy a distance of 300 yards.
which will be quite enough. fly my
means 11' fire of any size my be pro—
duced and if the fire is large. enough
the gases must be dissipated; it can-
uot be. otherwise.
“The 11m bomb: 1 designed in-
volved the use of petrol, but. it"«us
thought that the consumption would!
be. so large that there might be a
shortage. l have therefore been ex~
permeating, and am now in possess-
ion of a liquid that does Just as well
and only costs half as m‘iich, while

RAT PROOFM 1NEW ORLEANS.
Alter a lapse of nearly a year a
case of human plague occurred in the
city of New Orleans on the 27th of
August. This case was confirmed as
true bubonic plague on September 8th
The epidemiological investigations as
to the exact source of the infection
believed that. it was probably received
in the city of New Orleans. Up to
date over 91,000 buildings in that city
have been rat- mooted and over 435,-
000 rodents have been captured
traps alone. The occurrence of this
case demonstrates the dlaoulties sur-
rounding the eradication of the dis-

for the active cooperative efforts of
the United States Public Health Ser-
vice and of the Departments of Health
of the State of Incision: and the city
of New Orleans, the outbreakwonld
have reached greater proportion: mid
would have been longer condoned. ”It
also‘ points ' to other cities the
necessity for Hddtng themselves of
the rodent carriers critic-disease and
of thoroughly rat-proofing all of their
buildings. No fear is felt that this
case will be followed by anoutbroak.
Officers and men of the 'Public 33er-
vice ‘Hellltll Service, well trained in
the control of the disease, are on the
gr'ound and with the health authori-
ties of the city of New Orleans are
taking every precaution to prevent the
