DEATH CAUSED BY CONCLUSION
 OF PROJECTILES
Compression of Air by Artillery Fire Brings HemOrrhages
 to Soldiers.

Paris, April 25-Hemorrhage re- sulting from compression and depres- sion of air by the explosion of projec- tiles have become more common in the French army since the artillery fire developed its maximum intensity.
 In some eases the shock is instantly discommoding- Monsieur Leon Binet, 1nterne of the Paris hospitals now aid surgeon in the army, who has made a special study of these cases, finds that the effect of the explosion is to compress the air in the case of a shell from a cannon and to depress it in the case of projectile from a trench mortar. In both cases the hemor- rhage is pulmonary.
 In one case, observed by Monsieur Binet, a projectile from a trench mor- tar exploded within three yards of a soldier lying on the ground. The mans breathing was instantly ob- structed, he began to cough and he spit half glass full of aerated blood. A half hour later he was all right again! In another case a four-inch shell fired at long distance exploded directly over a cannon. Aerated blood began to flow from the nostri1s and mouths of two gunners standing be- side the piece and they dropped dead in their tracks. In the first case the affect was from depression, in the second from atmospheric compres- sion.

REGULATIONS, RESTRICT
 MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS K IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN

The American Russian Chamber of Commerce has just received official word from the Russian authorities stating that by an agreement between the Imperial Russian Government and the United Kingdom recently conclud- ed it has been decided and is here with ordered that no ship of any nation with any cargo is allowed to enter into any part of the Arctic Ocean and the White Sea without spe- ciaI permission individually obtain ed directly from the Committee on Sea Transportation of the Department of Navy at Petrograd<
 The congestion of freight at Archan- gel and the importance of moving Government ofders into Russia has re- suited in this on the part of the Rus sian Council of Ministers to close the White Sea to private cargoes except under special licenes. It will be neces- sary for shippers to obtain special 1i- cehses for the movement of shipments into ArchangeI from the Department of the Navy at Petrograd. Unless such licenses are obtained, it may be necessary to reland the cargoes sub ject to all the terms of the steamship bills of Iading.
 The American-Russian Chamber of Commerce is attempting to make an arrangement by which it's members can secure such licenses through the representatives of the >American-Eus- sian Chamber of Commerce in Petro- grad.

 There is no purpose that the Allies shall be taken unaware in the adjust ment of the present war as France was in the former war, and that is one of the main reasons the Allies are full ly canvassing their trade interests at the Paris conferences.
