enemy with his own weapons, or rather
with a far superior one of the same char.
acter. This is turpinite. an explosive in
vented by the Frenchman Turpin in 1913.
He declared at that time 1t would make
war impossible. offering it first to the
French and later to the English govern
ment.
Turpinite is a brownish liquid. readily
absorbed by cotton, which may be used
for charging shells and mines. When II
explodes it kills everything living within
the radius of kilometer (ive-eights of

At the beginning of the war, consider

that it possessed all the qualities claim

1t is King George personally who here
in England opposes the use of turpinite.
while Lord Kitchener Is said to think
the use of it justifable as the only means
to counterbalance German methods of
warfare.

Berlin. May 2s.-With wonderful self

that the question has ceased to exist,
on the contrary it is being dealt with by
government experts with characteristic
German thoroughness.
