krupp BUYS Air Torpedo.

Essen, Aug. Z. - Notwithstanding
frequent denials, the Krupp works
have apparently acquired the rights to
the air torpedo invented by Colonel
Unge, of the Swedish army, under the
conditions that the Swedish army is
free to use the device. The particu-
lars of the weapon are secret, but it is
understood that the Krupps paid a
great sum for the invention, after pro-
longed tests, so it is assumed that the
projectile is really effective. Report
says it can be used by warships in sea
fighting and also against Notifications.
