BIG SHELLS KILL ALL
WITHIN $50 YARDS

Warsaw, June 29.-Eeven-eighths of the
wounds in the Galician fighting were
caused by shells. half of which were
fired from big calibre guns. said Surgeon
Major Lesghintseff on returning from the
front.
Bullets play no part now" he contin-
ued. land the infantryman's rife is a toy.
Infantry merely occupies the trenches
the cannon have won.'
Most devastating of all are the new
Skoda shells of the Germanic allies,
which are IT inches in diameter and
weigh $500 pounds. The Skoda how
itzer shoots at a high angle and its
shell penetrates 20 feet into soft earth
before exploding two seconds after
striking.
When a Skoda shell hits, it means
death to everything within a radius
Of 1850 yards and even further off. The
mere pressure of its gas rips open the
bomb proof shelters and catches those
who escape the metal fragments and
flying debris. This gas enters the body
cavities and tears flesh asunder, some
times stripping the men of their
clothes.
So fierce is the heat of the explosion
of the shell that it melts rifle barrels
as IL they had been struck by light
ming.

a few days in the early part OF his IMP
One of Mason's theories, on which ne
laws the greatest stress and which Iur-
nishes the main basos for hope at the
museum. is that Stefansson and his party
NAV have been carried by the ice to ISL

all of last season having been TO the
northwest.
Stefansson had plenty OF ammuni-
ton and could live off the country.
Mason says, if he struck land, ana II
he drifted toward Siberia, ice conoi-
tons may easily have kept him there.
Secretary George F. Sherwood OF
the museum said Burt Mcconnell, VINO

In Secretary Sherwood's opinion the
prevailing drift of ice westward last
season favors the Siberian theory, as
Stunning that the ice held together until
the party could reach land.
Mason's other theories are that Ste

the ice held him there, or that he may
have been caught in a drift which
carried him to Bank Land, Prince

Mason feels strengthened in the be-

partner, Wilmet Annett. at Kaye Point,
on the Arctic coast, that nothing had
been seen or heard of Stefansson. II
he had been lost between the cabin
and the coast Mason says, he or his
partner would have been likely to have
seen some indication of it in sea-
