Are Durn-Durr Bullets
Being Used?

An Official statement made by of1-
GERS of the French army charges that
the German forces now along the
Franco Belgian border. are making use
Of the dunn dunn bullet, in direct Vlo-
lation of The Hague agreement, par
ticipatsd in by all the powers except
ing Great Britain and the United
States. The Hague agreement pro-
hfbited the use Of cylindrical or split
end bullets as we'll as the so-called
soft-nosed rife projectiles. designed to
cause the greatest injury in those hit
bv them. 1t is stated that samples OF
these deadly bullets have been taken
from the bodies OF French dead, and
also that cartridge boxes containing
dunn dun projectiles have been found
along the roads.
The dunn dunn bullets get their
name from a town in British India,
where they were first manufactured.
They were first used along the Indian
frontier by the British troops in their
efforts to withstand the attacks Of
the fanatical tribesmen Since that
time the dunn dunn bullet has played
an important part in warfare and has
been used by the Turks. the Montene-
grins and, during the Russo-Japanese
war. each combatant accused the other
of using the dunn dunn in order to in
crease the mortality in the ranks Of
the enemy.
The only claim to recognition pos
sessed by the dum-dum bullet is that
makes a CHASTITY wound, practically
precluding recovery in case the VIC
tim is fairly hit. 1t is no more ef
fective in actual warfare than the
small calibre steel projectile used in
modern military rifles. for a man hit
by one OF the modern bullets is out
but he has a chance for his life with
ordinary care. The dum-dum bullet,
instead OF drilling q neat hole through
the victim, rends and tears the flesh
in horrible manner, and it's use by
any Nation. if proven. is sufficient
to convict them Of gross barbarity.
II is possible the French are mis-
taken in their charge, and it is to be
sincerely hoped they are. 1t will be
hard tor the friends OF Germany in
other nations to believe that her mil
itary forces are guilty Of such a
Z breach Of the rules Of modern war
