NEW WAR TERROR
FOUND IN RIFLE
GRENADE
ENGLISH OFFICIALS TAKE LES
SON FROM THE CAMPAIGN
BOOK OF RUsso-JAP CONFLICT
-DEATH-DEALING WEAPON.

/ LONDON, Nov. 1G-The English
war Office has taken a leaf out of the
campaign book OF the Russo-Jap CON
ilict and the grenade has come much
10 the fore as an effective implement
IN an engagement, particularly at close
quarters
The first OF a series of practical
tests and experiments with rifle
bowitZershrapnsl grenade, invented
by +. Marten Hale, has taken place
at Fayersham before an assembly Of
experts from foreign governments and
from the British government contrac-
tors, Messrs. Vickers, Sons & Maxim.
The tests are said 10 have proved
that the rife grenade was a most
formidable and havoc-producing
weapon.
The grenade, which weighs one
pound seven ounces Is ADAPTED for
use with the service rifle and Is pro-
PEELED with the ordinary service cart
ridge, which Is not unlike frework
rocket in shape; also permits the use
in the rife of a much heavier powder
charge when the range is consider
ably increased. With the British gov
eminent cordite cartridge and the rifle
elevated 10 an angle Of 80 degrees the
grenade is thrown $50 feet, but by
increasing the cordite charge 10 10
grains (the government cord.te cart
ridge contains 3l.5 grains) double that
distance IS obtained.
A feature OF the,use of the grenade
is that the firing does not in any way
injure or damage the rife. and the at
tachment on the grenade to secure 1t
10 the muzzle OF the rife does not In
terfere with the rife for firing ball
cartridge or the employment wof the
bayonet.
The grenade was tested in every
way conceivable under war conditions.
a stretch OF marsh. with hlllock
large enough to obscure from view an
enemy represented by several COM
panies. was selected for this purpose
The augmentation was enormous,
and il was obvious that a strategical
position thus attacked would be abso-
lutely untentable, and that the havoc
among the defenders would be APP
palling.
The explosive power of the grenade
was illustrated when one was fired
into a pit g IL feet deep and feet
long by 3 1-2 feet wide. The walls
of the pit were of IL inch concrete.

The force OF the explosion lifted the
sleepcrs bodily in the air, and the
fragments of the shell penetrated the
wood sides even at points where there

His Holiness suggested that. as bo;A

lYCEU M.

In memory's treasure box there are
few more cherished recollections than
those of our early schooldays. In full
knowledge OF this fact, apparently.
Gus Edwards has given us the must
cal play, School Days" which was
presented by capable and numerous
company of young folks before two
good houses in the Lyceum theater
Sunday.
The first scene shows the school
yard on the opening day OF the term
and the kids" at play. But the school
room scene in the second act is where
the real fun comes in. 1t is a scream
from the outset. a pleasing connection
OF comedy, satire, melody and gym
naetic feats.
Which are the more troublesome,
sparrows or worms?" asks the teacher
Of Nonnie, the little tough girl. And
Nennie answers:
Il don't know teacher. | never had
sparrows"
Before the audience has ceased tit.
tering. Tommy Tatters, over on the
other side OF the room, In a makeup
that in itself is sufficient to excite the
risibilities, Is getting off one OF his ac-
nose when Carl Dacshund produces a
Ilimberger sandwich, and presently
dainty Sunbonnet Sue trips forward
TO lead the school in song. Mere
words fail TO do justice to the scene,
however.
Herman Timberg, as Icy, and ia
net rPiest. as Nonnie, are the bright
particular stars of the cast, with Joe

are as clever trio as has been seen
on the local stage this season. The
music throughout is catchy. The big
gest hits are "Sunbonnet Sue" Little
Title Tattle,' The Calendar of
Love-" and The Paper Hat Brigade"
The engagement is for the week,
with matinees Wednesday and Satur-
day. The management announces

CAYETY.

1t is a good show from start 10 fin.
ism in the Gayety this week. The
Dainty Duchess company puts on a
production that Is as near musical
comedy as the rules OF burlesque al
low; there are funny comedians, an
unusually handsome leading woman, a
wlnsoine ard able chorus, exception
ally artistic costumes and all olio that
sparkies with good things. From
start to finish there rs not dull mo
ment.
Mildred Stoller, the leading woman.
Is on the type OF Lillian Russell-and
has the edge on fair Lillian by few
years, at that. She does a speciality
turn initiating various actresses in
which novelty is introduced by the
aid Of the moving picture machine.
Dressing room scenes are SHOWN be-
tween the representations.
The Potter.IIartwel Trio has turn
In the olio that is better than the ord
mary. some OF the acrobatic feats at.
tempted being new and difficult and
the comedy work natural and unex-
pected. Lily Leonard has the assist
ance of six shapely maidens in the
"Dance-of the Devils" which is enough
different from the round of Salome
dances TO be refreshing.
Leavitt and Campbell and Dawson
and Whitfield furnish the other 'ollo
acts and both are good, the latter pair
particularly being entitled to snow
ing anywhere.
There is not much TO the first bur.
lesoue in the way OF plot. but the Sec
ond is a satire on the marital com
plioations OF Anna Gould de Castellane
dc Sagan. For the first time. a Paris
ian scene Is given in burlesque
without being wearisome. The inter
Tor of Maxim's is shown and settings
and costumes are both good.
