WICKED LITTLE GUN
"Minenwerfer" in Action Barks
Like SnarIing Mongrel.
Description Of Deadly Piece Of Artii-
Iery Used by kaiser's Troops That
Has Played Considerable Havoc
in Allied Trenches.

Paris.-In reports on the warfare in
the trenches of Flanders reference
often is made to certain supposedly
new instrument of destruction which
the Germans are using. Lacking an
equivalent translation in their own
language. the French and Belgians
have come to call the weapon by its
German name, "Minenwerfer." Many
descriptions of this more or less mys.
terious piece of artillery. which has
played considerable havoc in the al
lied trenches, have appeared in the
newspapers. but they have all diff.
fered in some essential details.
A contributor to lie Figaro. Paris.
who was in Havre about the middle
of January, saw one of these "Minen.
werfers" there in the yard Of the
building where the Belgian ministry of
war has its quarters. The bomb
thrower." as the weapon might appro.
priately be called in English. had
been found In a trench formerly oc
cupied by German troops.
The writer In the Figaro describes
the weapon as "a hideous little can
non with an ugly look about It," 1t

a caliber Of 10 centimeters. Its bar.

grel
The gun is mounted on a carriage
Of steel plates resting on wheels. and
the unwieldy little thing weighs about
five hundred Kilograms without the
wheels. The projectile is inserted at
the muzzle and is discharged by
means Of an ignition cap in the
breech. When the aiming device Is
removed the gun does not look more
formidable than one Of the old bronze
mortars at the Invalides. the writer
says.
1t is not likely that the bomb
thrower" can project a shell farther
than 500 meters. To be exact, It does
not throw the projectile. but simply
spits 1t out. so to speak. A bronze
plaque indicates that the gun came
from the Ehrhardt works at .Duessel-
dorf and was manufactured in 1913.
