As if living in trenches wasn’t bad enough for soldiers, they now have a new danger to watch out for. Mustard Gas, whose proper name is Yperite, is a deadly chemical that is being used against our forces by the German Army. We are still unsure of it origin and still a little iffy on exactly where it can be found at the moment. But we do know that our soldiers over there right now, are dieing left and right due to this hazardous chemical. The problem with Mustard Gas is that it is odorless. Once that it is inside the body it takes only twelve hours to take effect and start killing. Twelve hours may seem like a long time, but when you are solider, dieing slow is painful, and twelve hours is just half the day of the fighting you are doing for our country during this war. Mustard Gas is so powerful that only a little bit of it is necessary to be used and expose to the soldiers for death. It can be placed in any shell or bomb that can explode. The chemical last for several weeks in the soil and the air that has been contaminated by it. For those who have soldiers fighting in this war, here is how you can remain updated on some facts about what it now being used in battle. The

skin of an effected person begins to blister, the solider may vomit, and their eyes become sore. We are not talking about one or two people dieing from a rifle, but rather thousands of our own, dieing from a poisonous chemical. Please beware that what is being used in war, is also being carefully avoided as much as possible by our soldiers.

Last year, but never too far back to remember, Babe Ruth played an excellent few games against Brooklyn in the World Series. The famous and really good player, plays for the Boston Red Sox. He won his first World Series October 9th, 1916. It was a 2-1 victory for the team, but Ruth was doubted at first. In the first inning, he gave up a homer to the other team giving them an immediate lead. But returning hope to the team, Ruth pitched the next thirteen innings scoreless. By the ninth inning, the score was scored 1-1 and continued four more innings, until Boston took the lead. Starting in 1914 Babe Ruth brought many wins to the Boston Red Sox, and still continues too. He currently holds the leagues best earned running average of 1.75. In the future, Ruth hopes to start as the opening pitcher for more World Series games. Baseball is one of the most common sports and most played sport here in the United States. Even though our country is going through a war right now with the rest of the world, some with us and some against us, we should all be able to sit back once in awhile and enjoy the sports that our country is proud to be playing. You should all try and come out and support your country in the games they play, and remember that Babe Ruth is leading baseball for his team as we speak right now.
