OUMDUM BULLET is DEADLY.
Practically Employed Only by Great
Britain In Her Wars Against Un-
civilized Peoples.

A "dumdum" bullet is a bullet
sometimes used in the British army,
where it is styled Mark ". 1t re-
sembles the ordinary service bullet,
except that the leaden core is left
uncovered, and by further making
The casing weak at the apex the bull
let spreads out Immediately on
striking a bone, and tears or spin
tiers the body, usually with fatal re-
suits. 1t was first made at Dunn
DUN arsenal, in India, whence its
name. The report of the command
ing officers in the Chitral campaign
Of 1895 called attention to the fact
that while the service small-bore
bullet had immense penetrating
power. it did not possess sufficient
stopping power, and a man struck
bv it did not at once suffer shock or
disablement, but continued to fight.
The wound of the Lee-Mctford the
British service rife) bullet, like that
of the Mauser, is a perfectly clean
perforation. which in many IN
stances will soon heal. 1t was to
secure greater stopping power
that the Dumdum was employed
and. although it is under the ban
of the peace conference, Great Bri-
tain still employs it. but only
against unciviIizcd peoples. Great
Britain refused to subscribe to the
clause condemning this type of bull
let. and thus left herself free to re-
tain it. 1t was used in Egypt III
1895, but not in the Boer-Brltlsh
war of 1S99-'02.
