up and down now, in the air and in the

ing new and strange ways Of destroy
ing their enemies. Cruelty and bar
barity are forgotten terms. Effective
ness IS the only thing aimed at. II you
cannot kill your enemy with shot and
shell, II you cannot bayonet him or
starve him or freeze him or drown
him. try to suffocate him with poison
Gus gases.
Such is the spirit that has led to the
invention Of turpinite, an explosive so
deadly that its fumes kill its victims
suddenly-so suddenly that they re-
main standing in the positions they
held before death overlook them. As
the fatal gas does Rs work the Corpses

plosives Of terrific power.

counts has been used only in an ex-
perimental fashion in the war, as II

II is one Of the secrets Of the French
war office. and II was discovered so re-
Gently that there are only a few guns
and a small supply OF the shells ready
for use. The handling OF these guns
is at present limited to specialists.
Had it been discovered earlier the war
in the earlier stages might have taken
on a different turn. To what extent
turpinite is being used will not be
known until after the war. when the
history Of the encounters is written.
NJ. Turpin is one OF the leading sci
entists OF France. For years he nursed
grievance against the French gov
ernment because its officials failed to
give him full credit for his work with
other explosives and put other men to
improve upon them. He shut himself
up in his laboratory for years, work
ing on the lethal explosive. SOME time
ago the government mollifed him by
decorating him for certain work Of his
and by giving him full credit for it.
He offered the war department his
new discovery and tested it on animals
before some of the army experts. It
was accepted; but. knowing the pro-
Of the war department,
Turpin began work on q few guns and
on some of the shells. Shortly before
the declaration of war Germans tried
to lure his secret from him. but were
unable to do so. Since the war he has
