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

Rochambolite 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
Verdun. says the Argonaut. The ex-
plosive, when tested in action at YER
dun. was found to possess most ter
rible and demorallzIng effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive Is powder which.
upon Ignition, changes into a molten
metal and very large volume Of gas
ln 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 II,
shattering the walls and hurling the
molten metal and wall fragments in
all directions, spreading death and de-
struction In their path. J
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 1t on
the entire front.

Captain Sweeney is West Pointer,
but when the fighting began he was
found in the French army. He started
as private in the infantry. He want
ed to be in the thick Of it, so chose
that branch of the service, and during
his campaigning was in many, battles.
He was awarded the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor for valor and promoted
, to lieutenant when, single-handed, he
captured a machine gun and six Ger
mans.
Very little has been written in this
or any country regarding the French
tanks. The first few used by the
French army went into action about
the same time the British put theirs
in the fiehl. 1t was not until the great
offensive began this spring that the
poilus trotted forward in support of
great numbers of their tanks s-"zan-
zans," as they called them.
The best way to describe a French
tank is to compare 1t with giant
hog, kneeling so that its short legs
cannot be seen, and creeping forward
as it roots in the ground.
