Description: "These Marines in France are learning to adjust their gas masks quickly. It takes only a few seconds to get the mask in place. When the siren blows every mask is put on as speedily as possible as a second of delay might be serious. The Germans are reported to be perfuming their gas so as to deceive the Americans in the trenches but few of them have been gassed as yet."
