GERMAN POISON GUN.


Malta, Sept. 11.-There is much talk
here Of new German siege gun
which kills as much by poisonous
gases liberated from the shell as by
the solid contents. The gun has a
relatively small bore and is easily
mounted On wheels.
The shell is loaded at the mouth Of
the gun but a metallic shaft, making
a piece with the shell. is rammed
tightly into the gun. Shell and shaft
are shot together. The shaft is de-
tached in it's course. The shell when
it exp1odes emits poisonous gases
which suffocate those who escape
death by the explosive missiles.

The time to steal is when two men
are out, but catcher cannot take a
chance at this time, for if he is

first man at bat in the next inning,
and no manager wants to lead of
