BRITAIN’S DEFENCE PLANS
ANTI-GAS ATTACK TUITION
lUnited Press Assoctatton.~By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright .] i (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON,. February 4. The “Sun-Herald” News Service says that the Government is expediting and extending the production of gas masks, in the hope that 30 or 40 million will soon be manufactured and stored in depots in every town and village for quick distribution in the event of emergency. It is anticipated that, by the end of the year, an organisation will be completed throughout Great Britain, designed to deal with gas casualties. The Government, meanwhile, has acquired the grounds of a country house for an anti-gas school for the training of a special corps of instructors, who will be drafted to all parts of the country to teach official bodies, besides voluntary workers. Other plans include the preparation for sudden expansion of hospital accommodation and the arranging of first aid posts in towns and villages. These precautions are connected with the Government’s great rearmament defence scheme.
