The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1917-06-21

Every boy is going to have a con-
fdant, some one to whom he can tell
his secrets and whisper his hopes and
ambitions which he would not breathe
to others. We take il for granted that
his mother viii stand nearer to him
than any other person, but every boy
will have some male friend who will
stand in peculiar relation to him.
This friend, this confdant, should be
his father. You cannot afford to have
your boy feel that you are too busy
or too Indifferent to tell him how to
fly his kite or bait his hook or make
toy or to play games with him. If
you begin early enough, it is com
paraLively easy for you to gain your
boys confidence. From infancy he
should grow up to feel that no one
else can take your place; that you
stand in peculiar relation to hiro,
which no one else can fill.

MSVolleys were fired from seven
'howitzers' at a group Of eighty fig
ures distributed over space of 900
square meters at distances of $50 to
$40 meters. After the fourth volley
sixty eight fiures were hit 143 times.
"The hand grenade weighs one
kilogram and contains 100 bullets
weighing "a grams and bursting
charge weighing 110 grams. In con-
trast to the above described 'howit-
zer' grenade, the bullets fly in every
direction, so that it is only adapted
for throwing from cover. A volley
of seven grenades, thrown by hand
from cover, made 119 hits on thirty
three figures againsa the target al
ready described.
"The last kind of these grenades is
the mine grenade. 1t weighs about
four Kilograms and contains 400 3.3-
gram bullets and 2OO-gram burst
ing charge. The 400 bullets will
cover space of at least 800 square
meters. These grenades together with
their electrical connections are placed
about one-half meter under the sur
face of the ground, so that they are
completely invisible to the enemy.
Bullets in All Directions.
"When it is set off, the grenade
rises about three-fourths of meter
above the ground, then explodes, and
throws the bullets in all directions
parallel with the ground. At a dis
tance of ten meters the bullets will
go through wood at least 100 milli-
meters thick and retain deadly eff
fectiveness for q distance of fifty
meters. A detachment of 100 men can
lay line of these mines over front
Of 1000 meters in less than two
hours.
"In a test three mine grenades
were laid in the corners of triangle
whose legs were thirty meters long,
among a group of 145 wooden double
silhouettes that were scattered over
a space of 2,700 square meters. The
grenades were set off electrically, one
after the other. The result was that
120 silhouettes were hit 700 times.

the other companies at parades and
other formations. This continued to
be the case long after the grenadiers
had ceased to carry grenades, which
had originally given them their
names; their distinguishing charac-
tcristic became their great height
and their peculiar headdress (grena-
der caps).
During the war between Russia
and Japan hand grenades were again
used in great quantities by both
sides, especially in fighting at close
quarters, and in assaults on the diff
fercnt forts about Port Arthur. Those
of the Japanese were in the shape of
"A small, thin cylinder, about eight
inches long and three inches thick,
which were filled with explosives,
and had safety fuse in the cover.
If the fuse was lighted before throw
ing, the grenade would have about
nine seconds to reach it's destination
before exploding. 1t did not, how
ever, burn long enough to make it
possible for the enemy to pick it up
and throw it away before it could
do any damage.

GALA week At SUMTER

The Sumter Chamber of Commerce
have completed arrangements for a
big Spring Festival and Civic Cele-
bration, beginning on March 17th,
and continuing all the following week,
until Saturday March Oath, when the
gay doings will come. to an end.
There will be parades, and big
automobile show, as well as a good
line of clean amusements for the
visitors.
The Murphy American Shows which
have been wintering in Sumter will
furnish all the entertainment, and
will be located in the Ball Park.
This company stands high in the re-
gard of Sumter people, due to their
straightforward methods. Of doing
business, and to the fact that they
have only we'll behaved and moral
people with the company. Every
thing with the show is new, most of
it built in Sumter, at the headquar-
ters of the show on Liberty Street,
and the rest of it bought in New
York and shipped to Sumter. There
are no so-called "girl shows" with the
outfit, nothing that can in any way
offend even the most fastidious
taste, for j. F. Murphy will not have
such with his company. This to-
gether with the big display which
will be made by Sumter merchants,
and the Spring Fashion and Trade
show, should prove an interesting
feature for all who care for visit
to the lively city of Sumter during
that time. Director Lcpore and his
concert band will give free concerts
daily, and Miss Margaret Quincy,
world famous lady swimmer and high
diver, will give two exhibitions daily
free of charge to all visitors to the
Spring Festival. There are twelve
high class feature attractions, all
sure to please both the ladies and
children as well as the gentlemen,
and all clean and moral throughout.

hand CRENADES AGAIN IN USE
Deadly Implement Was Recorded as
Far Back as the Seige of

ORIGIN OF TERM GRENADIER
Soldiers Were Formerly Trained in
Handling and Throwing Hand
Grenades.

The use Of hand grenadcs as an
implement of war dates back nearly
four centuries and this deadly weapon
remains today, as in the sixteenth
century, one of the most effective
weapons of warfare, says a New York
special to the Indianapolis News. In
the current issue of the United States
Infantry Journal, published by Off
GERS of that arm of the regular SER
vice, there is an article dealing with
grenades, which is translation from
the German military publication, Mil
r-Wochenblatt.
"Hand grenades," the article reads,
cas- an implement of warfare, date
back many centuries. History re-
cords their use as far back as 1886
at the seige of Aries. Up to the
close of the eighteenth century SOL
dlers were trained in the throwing of
hand grenades. They were for that
reason called grenadiers.
"The grenades were hollow balls of
iron or other metal, about two and a
half inches in diameter, filled with
powder and provided with a fuse,
which was lighted before being
thrown. At first there were few

panies were formed, and still later
