To be sure, such contaminated areas may be decontaminated with suitable chemicals, but this process is both costly and slow, hampering swift pursuit of a retreating foe and forcing occupying troops .to move about in a suspected area only with

As retreat-covering weapons, these persistent contaminants may be applied in any one of several ways. Artillery or mortar shell will probably not be used; these are weap-

positions. But retiring troops can drop small cylinders or other con-|

gerous contents after the men have moved .on to a safe distance. Planes can swoop back ‘and forth, releasing the spray like a curtain. Specially equipped trucks have been experimented with by some powers: “The principle of action is the same for portable and vehicle appliances and consists of spraying the agent from the container by compressed air or by special pumps operated by hand or motor. The Italian regulations describe similar devices for what they term soll contamination.’ These. seem rather complicated and If mustard is to be sprayed, it is! best to be a safe distance away. Certainly pumping mustard by

1942, by The. Indianapolis Times he Chicago Daily News. Inc.

BERNE, March 20.—Imposition of Hitler's new order in Poland and Lorraine is being speeded up at a feverish pace, it is' learned on" information from Germany, so as to clear all decks for the heralded Nazi spring offensive against Russia. Both border - areas, one at: the eastern’ and the other near “the western route of Germany's original blitzes of World War II, are slated for. conversion into buffer or sanitary zones. ‘Both zones will be infiltrated with Germsn blood and, unlike Norway and Bohemia-Moravia, where Nazification is being achieved through Quisling or. ‘puppet rulers, : direct Nazi: supervision will be the rule. Hitler wants to “rerider border people harmless,” it is explained.
