WIRES CUT BY NEW WAY.
German Application Of Electric Forces

The Germans have now some mystic
rious scientific device for clearing

the appearance OF what is known as a
projector-that Is. a searchlight. No

their appearance on the western front
These also were apparently intended
originally to fuse wire defenses, but
they can only operate from IA me ximum
OF a couple Of score yards. The new
instrument must probably be some nov
el and hitherto unknown application Of
electric forces.
