EXPLAINS WAR UTILITIES
TO STUDENTS OF G. W. U.
DR.. C. E. Munroe Talks on Develop
ment of Powerful Explosives
for Use by Allies.

Students of George Washington Uni
versity are being kept abreast of the
latest developments in the work of de-
vising more powerful explosives for
use by the allies. Tee chemical society
of the university is being addressed by
Dr. Charles Edward Munroe, dean of
the school of graduate studies, head of
the chemistry department and the gov
ernment's foremost authority on high
explosives.
Dean Munroe already has explained
to the students why some of the car
tridges sent to Gen. Pershing have been
found valueless. He also has described
tri-nitrotoluene. the latest and most
powerful explosive, and told of the nu-
merous tests he has conducted In con-
nection with specifications of the Rus
sian government He has explained
how trench candles and ration heaters
are constructed by the Italians. and en-
phasized the great need of these con-
veniences on the Italian front 1t is
likely that chemical society members
will make some of these candles and
heaters for shipment to the front.
AS new explosives are evolved stu
dents will be kept advised by Dr.. Mum
roe to the extent that he is permitted
to divulge facts.

Independent American units have
been thrown in the trench line. The

For the first time since they have

shells did not merely fly over their
heads. but into the very trenches they
had selected. and presently, with an

to the ground before the rest gave up
resistance and surrendered.
