FL por que de
!, la turpinita

Londres. enero 11.-Al comienzo de
la guerra sc habl6 mucho de los obuses
de turpinita, de reciente invencion, los
cuales, segln Sc dijo, asfxiaban a todo
ser viviente en- cierto radio del punto
donde haclan explosion.
Desde entonces,. Sc ha manifestado q
menudo mucha sorpresa porque la arti-
lleria francesa haya hecho POGO uso de
este extraordinaio explosive.
Existen diferentes razones:
Primeramente, los obuses de turpini-
ia son POGO eficaces en- terreno abier-
to, no dan buenos resultados sino en-
pleados contra recintos cerrados, como
fortalezas, aldeas, casas, etc.
Pero, mientras los alemanes ocupen
territorio frances belga, muy graves
riesgos correr1an los civiles 81 las al
deas ciudades fueran bombardeadas
con obuses de. turpinita pof 10 tanto,
no Sc la emplea.
Ademas el nuevo explosive no puede
lsarse sino con canones especialmente
construidos, cuya parte mecanica es de
licada en- extreme y 81 Sc la usara con
las piezas de IS mil1metros, ell peligro
ser1a casi tan grande para los artilleros
franceses como para ell enemigo
La question esta en- saber 81 la turpi-
nita producira efcaces resultados s.
Alemania es invadida la artiller1a
francesa bombardea las fortalezas ale
manas.

Maltby,formerly commissioner in the Iditarod is now at Knik with Mrs. Maltby on the way out from the interior camp to Juneau. on leaving Tditarod he thought he had been elected to the Legislature and came out to be on hand to attend the session of the legislature in March At Susltna Sta ton, however, he came across a copy of the Seward Gateway telling that Snow of Ruby had forged ahead in the voting and that he had fallen from first to second place. J. r. Riley the mining operator met the Afaltbys on the trail. He also believed that the Iditarod mans election was assured It is said now that snow had lead of only eighteen votes but judging from all returns that have como in it seems as if Shows election is certain.
