A Powerful New Shell.
Gastonia Gazette.

Gastonia Gazette.
A new time fuse for use on armor-
piercing shells loaded with a recently
discovered secret explosive of great
power. has been invented by war de-
par:ment ordinance experts and will,
according to New York American
dispatch from Washington, revolu-
tionize foreign warship building.
Tests of the explosive and fuse have
been made and so long as the United
States government holds the secret,
foreign tattleships either must double
their steel walls or be as wooden frigates
against the new destroyer. General
Crosier, chief of ordinance, is quoted
as haying said that tes, of the new
explosive has been conducted with en-
inent success at the Sandy Hook prov
ing ground and that the shell carried
its contents through the thickest arm
or, and that the fuse lived long enough
to have exploded on the interior OF q
ship of war. The great penetratie n
secured was that of shell fired from a
12-inch gun. It plercel 14-lnch
Krupp armor before detonation The
heaviest shield now in use is said to Q
only II inches thick.
