Chickens of Frightfulness Come Home to Roost on Foe , In Ever-increasing Numbers ... ' ' BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, July 4. (Staff Correspondence of the Associated Press) The arrival of the first contingents of the American army in France serves to recall the fact that the United States Is entering a -war already ojd end wise, wise with the dearly bought wisdom of three long adventurous years and steeped in all the diabolical wickedness that' incessant delving into the deviltries of destruction can bring to it

Having escaped the first terrors ofS

weapons which German science had evolved through tolling years of military preparation, the American divisions will nevertheless plunge eventually into a seething cauldron which has grown from the unavoidable policy of "fighting the devil with Are." They will have quickly to learn not only to take the awful German frightfulness with calm endurance, but to return It with an increasing measure. In doing this many nerve-testing and soul-searching experiences undoubtedly lie before them, but there are already thousands of young Americans lu the Canadian and British ranks who have proved themselves traditionally worthy in the scorching flames of roodern war. PROFIT BY EXPERIENCES f The American forces are fortunate indeed to be able to base their educacion upon the bitter lessons learned by the French and British soldiers in all the eventful days that have followed that first rush of battle in 1914. Marvellously complete books of Instruction have ben bullded upon those experiences and out of these. the American soldiers will glean the last-word knowledge that will fit them for the foremost trenches. First of all, when they take their place, will conae the baptism of fire from the noisy black high-explosive German shells that scream In from afar and burst with terrific reports sometimes in most unexpected places. The Cermans arc great believers both in noise and high-explosive. They even mix their adored "H-E" with their shrapnel shells which break high in the air and send their bullets showering dawn with the whine of an angry winter wind. The Americans soon will learn to distinguish the individual songs of the various shells for there is not the slightest doubt that the moment he discovers they are in the "line,"

the German will turn every available calibre of weapon against them in a flourish of introductory "hate." They will come over In order these shriekins, grumbling missiles ranging in size and noise all the way from the nasty little pip-squeaks or whiz-bangs, up through the four-point-twos, the five-point-nines and then on to what the British Tommies laconically call "the big stuff" the eight end eleven-inch howitzer shells and the projectiles from heavy calibred long range naval guns, known without nf ection as "Whistling Percys."

Bi3 errthas" Replaced The:s i!l be little opportunity to hecr a "Bis Bertha." for those famous cl'l 42-centirr.;ter howitzers are sel-riV-ra ujod nowadays. It is believed that tho G3man3 planned to . bomturd Arr.s vith tham, using prussic ccld shells, but the British's advance on Easter Monday last put a stop to th.Dt rarticub.rly nefarious scheme cjainst Radly battered little Artois cathedral city. There l?,o is awaiting the new .American army a bounteous baptism or bombs and hand grenades and the still more dismaying Introduction to the ghastly rattle of the machine-gun and Its sinister swish of spraying bullets sounds well calculated to stab with a moment of fear the heart of the bravest man. But above all the American soldiers must equip themselves to endure the lethal gas that will bo 6ent over against them in poisonous, vaporish clouds, or showered upon them in a deluge of heavily charged cylinders and shells. They must prepare to dal also with the treacherous lachrymatory gas which while not dangerous to life Irritates the tearducts until cne cris with blinded, smarting eyes for hours. The surprise of both these gases Is their altogether pleasant smell, the lethal variety suggesting the clean odor of a santrary hospital ward, whole the so-called tear gas

has the appetizing scent of crushed

ripe apples or cider. Liquid Fire Terrifies There Is also the reason-shaking terror of the "flamenwerfer," with its roaring stream of liquid fire flaring with the velocity of a high pressure fire nozzle and with an off pouring of smoke rising like a black cyclone cloud to the heavens. The first day of their stay in battle trenches the Americans will make the acquaintance" of a very old, but scarcely cherished, friend of the Tommies and Poilus another member of the Werfer family known as "Minnie. This" is the German mine thrower or minenwerfer, which flings over ' at short range great heavy projectiles known as "flying pigs" because of their wabbly, ungainly flight. They go off with a deafening roar, expending more energy on noise, however, than on material damage. A notable development of the war has been the dread with which the Germans have seen weapons of their own invention turned against them, and turned with a steadily increasing intensity. Their prisoners speak of the terror these weapons have caused and declare the German higher command is realizing all too late the. Frankensteins it brough Into being. While the Entente allies are multiplying these terrors on the. lines laid down by Emperor William himself, the Germans, isolated so long from the world, find their resources and materials constantly falling both as to means of carrying on this style of warfare, and, what is more important to them, combatting the retributive measures undertaken by British and French. Gas Is Example Asphyxiating gas may be taken as a striking example. The whole world was shocked when Germany released those poison clouds during their second attack on Ypres when the Allies, little suspecting such a weapon, had no protection whatever against it. The horror of those days when men engulfed by . the lethal waves died agonizing - deaths will never be forgotten. But the manner n which the Canadian troops rallied and prevented the Germans breaking through in what they hoped would

be a 'victorious march to Calais and Boulogne, will ever be one of the most thrilling stories of the world war., .'v .- I -. . v. . , Nowadays the British fairly bathe the Germans In every form of gas whenever the slightest opportunity offers and prisoners all say their losses in these attacks have been alarmingly heavy. Gas is sent over in creeping banks of fog, Is shot over in bombs that suddenly explode. In trenches and at entrances to dlgouts, while no billets or sleeping quarters for troops in rest miles back of the fighting line are safe from the gas shells which are ever knocking at their doors. The bitterness of it all to the Germans, however, is the fact that dally they Ind they have less and less rubber with which to construct their gas masks, many of which are very inferior and offer but poor protection to the fighting men against gases that constantly are becoming more powerful. Boiling and blazing oil drums which they find exploding about them, heavy shells which break over them spurting streams of melted lead, are other species of the dread chickens of frightfulness that are daily flying home to the German roost. It is small wonder that half -finished letters found on Germans in the front lines dwell upon the terror of the war, or that some go so far as to speak a desperate envy for the dead.
