Well timed shrapnel is capable Of infcting far
greater injuries upon intrenched troops than any
other missile and at the same time is most un-
nerving. third variety Of snrapnel in common
use is that employed against approaching cavalry.
The murderous effect Of shrapnel is enhanced
by the fact that not only the bullets con-
tained in the shell driven with terrific force in
the desired direction but the steel case itself is
broken into small pieces by the bursting charge.
While the bullets infict clean, circular injuries,

why didn't she tell him so

As for that conceited
