This waa carried forward to a Mint where a sqaad of 150 men In the section almost lived in their gas masks, working. playing hasehall, digging trenches, fighting sham battles day and night fe which actual gas grenades were employed, and exposing themselves to th heaviest concentrations of the deadly gases under all conditions. ,uu jr ' "voi fnc a tion. ican Industry Played In Providing US, YNS with English 1ishei ; Irof ei"p,,m acet Munitions for the American Army Irving I'--l1W.
