GERMANS USE STRANGE
WEAPONS BEFORE WARSAW
(By Associated Press.)

PETROGRAD, Jan. 19.-The German
army in front of Warsaw is using
some new offensive machinery in its
trench warfare with excellent results.
Among these new weapons are some
very powerful land mines, which are
set at night by sappers and exploded
later by electricity. So-called tor
pedoesp and improved hand grenades,
are also used.
The torpedoes are really bombs of
formidable size, which explode on con-
tact and spread death-dealing frag-
ments of jagged iron, at the same time
poisoning the air for twenty yards
around with deadly gas. These are
hurled silently from a sort of ballista
or catapult, which has a useful range
of about $50 feet.
The hand grenades resemble in ap-
pearance large skyrocket. A tin
canister with a pointed head is fixed
on a stick or handle about two feet
long. The canister is filled with bull
lets and an explosive charge fired by
contact on the pointed head. The
grenade is thrown by hand, the stick
serving both as a handle and as tail
which insures the pointed head strik-

DIRECTORS n PRINTING

LONDON, Jan. Robustness as
usual" the motto which the British
tradesman adopted early in the course
of the war, applies even to the busi-
ness man who is on duty in the firing
line.
An instance of this is seen in the
announcement that the annual meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the
firm of Vacher and Sons, official print
ers in the British Parliament, was
held "in the trenches" all the direc-
tors of the company being on duty at
the front in France. The minutes of
this unique directors meeting are as
follows:
"a meeting OF the directors was held
in dug-out in the trenches on Dec.
"a, 1914.
"The directors were unable to deal
with the minutes of the last meeting
owinfg to the absence of the minute
book.
THE accounts received from the
company's auditors for the financial
year ending Sept. 80 were considered
and approved, subject to confirmation
at the general meeting of the company.
THE directors present regretted that
absence of their colleague, Captain
Claude Low, whose whereabouts at
the front is unknown to them.
There being no other business to
transact, the meeting closed with a
hearty vote of thanks to the chair
