CAMP PERRY, o., Aug. 10
Psychology alone was the means by
which the officials of the National
Rifle association were able to decide
whether Capt. a. II. Emerson or Lieut..
Col. {. b. Winder was the winner OF
the Wimbledon cup match here. Both
men drove all but one of their 90
shots each true to the bullseye 900
yards away. Each wavered once, send.

BERLIN. Aug ia strong official
protest has been made against the gen.
eral tendency of current caricatures
OF the imperial German chancellor,

The oaricatures represent the chan

complained that these caricatures Of

KRUPP'S DAUGHTER is
OPPOSED TO BOMB GUN
New Engine Of Destruction Made II
Fathers Plart Sestters Poison
Gus Gases When IL Explodes.

BERLIN Aug. l.s--The Krupps
have Invented aud are making for the
German government a new kind of
siege gun said to be more terrible
In its possibilities OF destruction than
anything hitherto in use. The new
type OF ordnance is called a bomb
cannon" and Is intended for use by
besiegers during the final storming
OF fortresses. when the besieger's own
guns cannot be fired owing To the
danger OF hitting their own men.
1t is a muzzle loading. smooth bore
gun of small caliber. The projectile
Is metal rod. which alone enters
the bore. To the forward end OF this
rod outside the muzzle OF the gun, is
attached a bomb Uf targc- sfZC, tx.
ploded by means of a time fuse. The
rod drops away from the bomb
shortly after firing. leaving the bomb
TO continue on until exploding time in
the direction In which the rod was
fired. The bomb will supplant the
hand grenade so much used during
the storming OF forts at Port Arthur.
In addition 10 the damage 1t causes
by explosion IL will spread poisonous
gases.
Krupp's daughter. who Is his sole
heir and who is responsible for the
management of the works, is said TO
have protested at first against the
''bomb-gun." especially the arrange
,ment by which poisonous gases are
kpread. SHE is understood to have'be-
come an ardent secret friend of the
Carnegie propaganda Tor peace by
arbitration. The experts In the gun
works represented to her 1t is report
ed. that the "bomb-guns" are mainly
to be made as siege deterrents.
