Maximum Range Seven Miles.
High Explosives Main Ammu-
niton-,Shrapnel and Gas
VIII Also Be Employed

We're the shells that should have been
used upon the trenches. That plan was
fixed thereafter In the British army as
II had been from the beginning in the
German and French armies. II was a
bad mistake and one that will not be
repeated By American artillery. That
Is the reason why our proportion of
shell output will be at least five high
explosives to one shrapnel. There will
be literally millions Of these high ex-
plosives In our output Ammunition
dumps back OF the American lines will
be small mountains and In these noun
tains will be lasting power sufficient, II
well directed, to wipe out every foot Of
trench along the great Hindenburg
line.
The gas shell Is something that has
not been revealed In all Its details and
VIII not be until after the war. 1t is
to be one OF the big surprises Of war
for Friend Fritz" Both the quantity
OF production and the constituents of
the gas are to remain a secret.
l asked Colonel Edward z. OHern,
who Ia In charge of ordnance produc-
ton. what will be the principal use Of
the gas she'll. BY way OF answer he
told me what the Germans have been
doing with II for more than year and
what the British and French are do
ing with 1t now. 1t is like a certain
patent medicine. 1t works while you
sleep. The technique Is to shell the
trench with the gas shell at time
when most OF the men are sleeping the
sleep of the dog tired" Of the trench
weary. The bursting projectile then
releases It's deadly content, and death
comes In sudden choking smother
that Il more frirhtful, more painful
than any drownh could be.
All three of these shells Will be used
In the Yankee three" The ordinary
range IL 10 be FIVE miles, but by eleva-
ton the effective range can be raised
to seven miles.
