SMOKE BOMBS USED TO PRO-

New York.-Smoke bombs de-
signed to protect merchant vessels
from submarine attacks, are now
being used on vessels passing
through the war zone, according to
information brought to an American
port recently on a French ship. The
bombs are thrown by hand and on
striking the water ignite and throw
out a dense cloud of black vapor,
which hangs low over the water like
fog. They will burn for more than
an hour and are said to be effective
in screening the movements of a
vessel in danger of attack.
