X THE CHEMICAL WARFARE SERVICE / CLARENCE J. WEST HEMISTS have always played a certain role in modern warfare. This role, however, was always more or less superficial. It consisted simply in an attempt to perfect gun powder and to suggest new and more powerful explosives, not to make war more horrible but to short...en, if possible, its dura- tion. The chemist was buried in his laboratory, in Government arsenals or in the plants of privately owned ammunition com- panies. He played no prominent part, as did the engineer or the medical man. The introduction of poison gas and the flaming liquid gun by the Germans during the year 1915 changed this relationship and as the war progressed the chemist came to play one of the lending roles. It is not fair to the other scientific men to call the late war " a chemist's war, " but we must admit that his was no mean part and that it was very largely due to the tremendous advances in chemical knowledge and the extensive gas program laid down by the Allies that the war terminated when it did.
