NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
Rochamboiite. Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Terrible
Effect on Enemy.

RoChambolite is n new and terrible
explosive that has recently been intro.
duced on the western front by the
French and employed in the defense OF
Nerdun, says the Argonuut. The ey-
ploSivc. when tested in action mt Yer
dun. was found to possess n most ter
rible and demoralizlng effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive is powder which,
upon ignition, changes into n molten
metal and very large volume of gas
in an infinitely small space of time.
This sudden change In volume and
the terrific heat which Is generated
cause an immense pressure on the
walls OF the vessel that contains II.
shattering the walls and hurting the
molten metal and wall fragments in
all directions, spreading death and de-
struction In their path.
The effect of this molten metal on
the Germans can hardly be imagined
Pieces OF metal upon striking them inn
mediately burn their way deep into
the flesh, even to the bone. causing
intense pain and suffering to the vic
tim. So deadly and so demoralizing
have the French found this explosive
IL be that they are now utilizing it on
the entire front.
