man Incendiary shells have set fire to
all the Belgian farms and village
along a front of 20 miles. Tonight

biasing homes and farms.
HlKh northely winds which for
three days had been blowing across
the Anglo-French and Belgian tren
ches, carrying before them the stupe
fying gases from the German guns,
have now died down. The temper of
the allies over what they claim to be
a. flagrant breach of the rules of clvl
llied warfare by the Germans In the
use of asphyxiating bombs Is ex
tremely bitter. Many Canadians in
the hospitals are suffering solely from
the gas from German bombs.
