extracted text (Extract Text): Although the use of poison gas in warfare may be outlawed, the United States army will be prepared to protect its carrier pigeons, horses, mules, dogs and other animals from the fumes should occasion arise, for special masks have been devised to shield beasts and birds in the service. The protector for horses and mules consists of a cheesecloth bag which covers the nostrils and upper jaw only, for they breathe only through the nose so that it is not necessary to cover the mouth. Their eyes need no protection against tear gas for they have no tear ducts. The dog mask is simi-lar, but covers both upper and lower jaws. The pigeons will wear no protectors while in flight, but will be guarded from gas by a special shield entirely covering their transport cages.
