Enormous Craters Torn in Earth a

Misunderstanding the terrific power
of new explosive for the use of the
American Army, mines were exploded
in the fortification zone here, hurting
thousands of tons of earth into the all
and making a series of enormous
craters. These will be consolidated
by the engineers as part of the trench
system.
The tests gave army and engineer
ing experts a fine opportunity to
study the effects of this style of war
fare. There was a surprising lack OF
noise to the explosive, but it made up
for this in power. Trenches within
hundred yards of the craters were
torn and filled with their own wreack-
age by the upheavel, while earth trem-
ors shook houses 10 miles away.
