ENTHUSIASTIC OVER NEW
ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET

New York, oct 24.-Army Officers
who lave observed the tests Of the
new armor-picrcing bullet now in pro-
gress at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds are enthusiastic over the re-
suits. The bullet is Of only 80 caliber
and can be fired from the regulation
army Springfield rifle. At a distance
of fifty yards the projectile ploughed
through sheet of steel three quarters
of an inch thick and then penetrated
a silhouette targeD planted behind the
steel plate. 1t is believed that one Of
the new bullets could be fired clean
through from ten to twenty men
standing in a row.
The bullets are tipped with piece
of steel encased in lead, which acts
as lubricant when the bullet strikes
steel and thus aids penetration. The
proiectiles which passed through tar
gets in reent tests were but little dis
torted.
1t is pointed out that the great value
of the bullets will be against armored
motor cars and against troops hiding
in houses or behind other projections,
one officer said that they would be
of service against such instruments OF
war as the now famous tanks used
bv the British on the SOmme.

NO REPORT OF FIGHT
REACHES DEPARTMENT

Washington, oct. 24,-No report on
the fight in Santo Domingo had
reached the navy department tonigtrT
but officials assumed that the latest
outbreak was the work of a small
band of rebels who recently revolted
from the Dominican army and that it
did not presage any general attempt
at disorder. Last reports from the
island told Of comparative quiet
throughout the republic, where the
American marine forces are busy or
gauizing the native constabulary,
which is to police the country under
the direction of American officers.
Captain William w, Low was sent
to Santo Domingo with his company
from the marine barracks at Philadel-
PHO. He was a native of New Hamp-
shire, appointed to the marine corps
from Connecticut in 1899, and was A
years old. Officers at marine corps
headuuarters tonight were unable to
identify the name Atwood.
