Dunkirk, July 31-TCorrespond-
fence OF The Associated Pressl-The
trench warfare I'm France has made
two distinct and apparently contra
dictory demands upon manufacturers
of artillery-one for weapons OF ex-
traordinary range. and the other for
guns which will drop a shell at a
shorter range than ever heretofore
used.
The German gunmakers. who are
developing long range guns capable
OF carrying a projectile from Calais
| to Dover. are at the same time show
ing remarkable ingenuity In making
quaint little mortars which will toss
missels containing high explosives
about as far as a fair football player
can kick a goal.
The "minnenwerfer" was the first
OF the short range weapons to meet
the British troops in France, and II
was regarded as very excellent
weapon of its class. But the newer
German inventions of similar charac-
ter are hundred times more effective
in deadliness and power.
The o-called Rum jar" is perhaps
the most feared of the new German
trench mortars. II is so named by the
British soldiers from the resemblance
or it's missile to the gallon stone jars
in which the army rations OF rum are
carried. The projectile is slightly more
! than twice the size of the army rum
lar. however. It is generally first
sighted when approaching the top of
it's hiCht. In descent IL turns over and
over. it's size and slowness OF flight
enabling the soldier to follow II easily
even from some distance. II Is ex-
ploded either by a time or delayed
percussion fuse. and is constructed OF
a thin steel case filed with tri-nitro-
toluol The damage 1t causes Is due
entirely to its decorating quality-it
does not rely on metal or bullets Tor
its effect. The explosion seems to be
more instantaneous than that OF any
other projectile, and there is there-
fore a concentrated fury to the noise
of its bursting that distinguishes 1t
, from all other projectiles.
The Sausage" Is another variety
Of missile fred probably from com
pressed air guns. inasmuch as the
discharge makes so little noise as to
be practically inaudible.
The Percy" is a five inch shell
which explodes in the air with an ex-
traordinary crack" while the less
dreaded "Bip- squeaks" are missiles
OF similar kind but much smaller size.
The so-called "Whizz bang" Is a
bomb exploded by means Of "a time
fuse. but thrown by hand.

that internal injuries had been re-
