BarbarOuS Modes of Destruction
Adopted by European Armies

by William G.. Shepherd, United
Press staff correspondent.
LONDON, March "a, by mail TO
New York.-Two hundred 4aqui In
dians once marched into Madero
camp in Mexico, armed with bows
and arrows, and asked to be allowed
to fight. Madero's army was patchy
enough as it was, but he didn't want
the services Of the Indians.
But we will fasten guncotton on
the ends OF our arrows explained
the CHIEF.
"Nothing doing" said Madero's OIL
hccrs. and the Indians marched oack
To the mountains.
The American army experts along
the Rio Grande laughed at the story
OF the bow-and-arrow Indians.
But today the great military lead
ers of Europe would pay fancy prices
for the services OF those Yaquis. Good
bow -and-arrow men are at prem
ium. They are hard TO find and they
are greatly needed. The French have
tried bows and arrows all along their
trenches, and, though the men were
inexperienced in the use of the pre-
historic weapon, they attained some
highly successful results. A 4aqui
Indian who could drop an arrow just
where he pleased could win the le-
gion OF Honor badge.
The point is that trench lighting
knocked the science OF war to bits.
After the armies had burrowed to-
ward each other until they were nose
To nose, they found that their mar
velous long range rifles were practic-
ally useless. The trenches were SO
close together that the artillery could
not hit the enemy's trench without
riskng the destruction of its own.
The great twentieth century weap-
ons failed. How to get death into
the other fellows trench became the
big problem.
1t was gravity, not gunpowder that
was needed. You couldn't shoot an
explosive into the other trench; you
must drop it in. 1t was the prenis-

toric method OF fighting; the cave
man style OF throwing weapons Or
rolling them down hill Some cf
Napoleon's old mortars were brought
from the museums of Paris and put
into use Bows and arrows were Sc
cured from the archery clubs of Par
is. The arrows were tipped with gun
cotton. Hand grenades were pur-
chased by the thousands.
The arrows proved the most dead
ly of all. The mortar bombs and the
hand grenades were not nearly SO e.
fective as the French expected. X
remained for the English Tommy .
figure out why the guncotton arrow
was most effective.
"Blankty- blank these hand gren-
ades," said the Tommy, they don't
do their job"
Whereupon he took tin can which
he had emptied of strawberry jam,
filed it full of guncotton fastened
a fuse to it. lighted the contraption
and threw it across to the German
trenches. 1t exploded with terrific
effect After that the Tommies made
their own bombs out OF jam tins. And
then the explosive experts discovered
that they had overlooked bet. The
romnies explained it to them.
Our tin can bombs blow 'em to
bits with pieces of their own bodies"
said the Tommies. "You load u2
bombs with pieces of steel that are
| supposed to fly around in the air, but
you are only wasting weight. Our
guncotton explodes and it turns
everything around it into a flying
death. Why, we've seen Germans
killed by the flying pieces of other
Germans bodies"
So now the latest idea in this pre-
historic form of warfare is to get as
much loose guncotton into the enc
my's trenches as possible. Arrows
do the job in first class fashion.

Wild Animal Circus
Coming Attraction

General Contracting Agent NJ. A..
Pennock, of the AL G. Barnes Wild
Animal Circus, is here today arrang-
ing for the appearance of the Barnes
show in this city on Monday, April
26th.
Wherein does the wild animal cir
Gus differ from the old-time reeula
ton circus?" was asked.
The Barnes circus is different be-
cause the entire entertainment offer
ed is given by trained anilnals-large-
ly wild animals replied Mr.. Pen
mock
"Al q. Barnes, the wild animal
training wizard and proprietor OF the
Barnes shows, was the originator of
the wild animal circus, launching the
innovation nine years ago. That the
new amusement idea met with ap-
proval from the public is attested by
the fact his circus now ranks as the
largest animal show in the world"
For thirty-hve years Mr.. Barnes
.ias been a trainer of wild animals,
and early in his career decided that
the public would welcome an exclr-
sive. clean wholesome entertainment
given by educated animals. and to
that purpose he bent his efforts"
Every one of the 900 acting ami
mails now With this great show has
been trained under his personal SUI
pervlslon-the greatest number ever
assembled in one collection.
