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

Rochamboite is a 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 Argonaut. The ex-
plosive, when tested in action ut Ver-
dun, was found to possess a most ter
rible and demoralizing effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive is a powder which,
upon Ignition. changes into 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 it,
Shatterng the walls and hurling 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
TO be that they are now utilizing it on
the entire front.

The Ordway new era., 1917-05-18

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the conscriptton
force of l, 100000 men.
2,oo1 900 Armed Men.
1t Is estimated by the war depart
ment that rs result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,OOl 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity Is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
army Is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about 1876, 900 men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has war strength of 625.OOO men. 1t
has now about 125OOO and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655,OOO
men to fill up gaps In the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
100000 as the first quota Of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft it Is possible about
1,155, 600 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi-
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do nov that
his pet project Is incapable of realiza-
tlon Is a question. 1t Is generally un-
derstood that President Wilson Is alb.
solutely opposed to the idea Of vol
unteer organization under command of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and nom
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $24 are
increased to $32; men who receive $50,
$38 or $40 are increased SO each; men
who receive $45 are increased to $50.
Army OFFICERS Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected higher maximum, though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section in the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each in
fantry and cavalry division.
An Interesting change is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
Der of persons available for serv-
ice," as first proposed, but upon the
population.

Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision Is exceed
ingly drastic. The president Is au-
thOriZed to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors
.in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but it will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
Intoxicating or spirituous liquors Mt
any military station, cantonment,
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
It will be unlawful for anyone to
sell Intoxicating liquor, Including
beer, to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil Is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention of the setting up of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president Is author
lied to call II ,OOO, 900 men to the colors
Is expected to have great moral ef-
feet in Germany. It is quite true that
the entire force he can commandeer
at this time will number two and
quarter million. But even this num-
Der would constitute reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory If employed In
