ANTIDOTE TO GAS POISONING.
LONDON, October I. Miss Mary Davies, a bacteriologist, nearly lost her life in an experiment to test a poison gas antidote. Though previous tests on animals had ended fatally, she infected herself with gangrene, making a deep incision in each leg, and then telegraphed to Dr Taylor, the American scientist, who injected hydrochlorine and quinine. It is claimed that the discovery will save the lives of thousands of soldiers who have been poisoned by the gases used by the Germans. Miss Davies is a daughter of Sir Henry Davies, exGovernor of one of the Indian provinces. BRITISH SUBMARINE’S SUCCESS. LONDON, September 30. In answer to a request for details of a submarine torpedoing a German cruiser in the Baltic late in August, Mr Balfour replied that he was unable to give any information except that contained in the Russian reports. British submarines had done good work in the Baltic —not as an independent force, but acting under the Russian Admiralty.
