invisible gass. But we have listening machines which  hear the hiss of the gass leaving the cylinders & give notice. Then you have ten seconds to get on the mask. They say the mask is absolutely safe against gass attacks & very few men are now gassed. In fact when a man is gassed it is treated as a crime on his part for not having the mask handy & his pay is stopped while in hospital.

We heard lately that a  naval fight took place in which 14 British ships were lost & the whole German fleet blown out of existance - nothing in the papers about it.

Much argument  has been taking place in the papers lately. A supposed Anzac is supposed to have written about a letter to the papers complaining of the English girls - flappers. Many indignant replies have been written in answer. I think it is all fake to attract attention.

Am sending on a book on Stonehenge. It may be interesting.

Will send you a wire when we get marching orders. No more news at present.

Love to all from Verner

PS Give Jean the films.
