CARBORUNDUM BOMBS
 LATEST GERMAN STUNT
(By United Press.)

London, Aug. 25 (By Mial. )-Car- borundum bombs" are the latest de- velopment of German plotters' in- genuity for crippling the war effort of America. They were discovered in a recent German bomb haul in Chris tiana, Norway.
 Carborundum is a manufactured composition resembling sharpening stone but is harder than almost any steel made today.
 r American army officers believe it was the German plan to have these carborundum "bombs," disguised in chewing tobacco and cigars, slipped into the axle cups of troop and supply trains and into oil cups and other vital parts of transatlantic steam ship engines.
 Half an hour of this composition grinding against car and engine bear ings and in steam cylinders, would cripple railway cars and steamships for weeks, requiring entirely new aXles and engine parts, engineers say.
