Paris. July 23.-That the burst
charge Of shells from the German
long-range guns is mixed while the
projectiles are in actual fight is the
belief Of French scientists, accord
ing to a technical journal published
here.
When the shells Of Paris began il
was noticed that the explosion Of a
shell produced cloud Of black smoke
mixed with a little that was white
and accompanied by a strong smell Of
ether. Recently the smoke has been
entirely white and very light. the
ether odor persisting.
No shell that failed 10 explode
has been found, nor even an entire
fuse. indicating how delicate and re-
liable the explosive il. This fact
leads experts to suppose that the
she'll is charged with two liquid ex-
plosives. separated by the perforated
partition which Is known to exist in
the center Of the projectile.
When the shell is fired at a high
angle the liquid In the upper end

My boy has gone to the training camp,
My boy Of manly years;
And my heart is with him in the

With others. khski-clsd;
And some there were who cheered
aloud,
But mothers there were sad.
I stood and watched with burning
eyes
My boy, rs on he marched,
And something. clutched my very
heart,
My lips were dry and parched.
And on they marched, while drum
beats throbbed.-

sobbed.

Since Laddie was a babe.
Oh. how my heart ycarned over him,
And how Il was afraid
Afraid that harm might come 10 him.

And I'D clasp him closer to my breast.
Until his smile brought peace and

And now he's gone to the training

For the RED. and White and

Through tear-dimmed eyes ! saw him

As he waved fond goodbye,
And a tear-wet kerchief waved.
As my boy went marching by.
But my voice IL was a cry
OF agony, and fear and pain
For the boy. my boy. my only boy,
Who might not come again.
And II he died. 'twould cause me woe
OF a thousand deaths. but still
I'D praise the Lord my boy could go!
And I would feel the joyous thrill

KAMfRAD GAME
At BE[lEAU

Capt. Wilmer. Of the American
force. gives this incident Of the re-
cent fighting in France.
Into the wheat fields we threw
our shells. tearing red holes in the
green. yeilow-t turning wheat. and we
uprooted the peoples, the blood red
peoples Of France. and ,une them ov-
err the heads Of the Germans. Then
our men advanced.
1--WE were ambushed from all
Sides" Capt Wilmer told me. "That
is to be expected in warfare like this,
which Is like our old Indian troubles.
or our campaigns in Cuba and the
Philippines. There were sure to be
some Germans left alive in the trees
and in the wheat. and three Germans
with a machine gun in a tree can hold
up a whole company.
I'VE fought them Indian style.
Some Of them we rushed. others We
out-hsnked and attacked from the
rear. and we crawled and ran and
lodged through our part Of Belleau
woods until we came TO the outer
fringe.
"My men went on into the wheat
field. At one point some forty Of US
fifty Germans rose up in front Of us
and threw up their hands We held
in our rifles and advanced TO take
them prisoners, when q rnufdcrcas
fire was opened on US by the COM
panions Of these Germans who were
hidden in the woods on the other
side Of TIE wheat"
Capt. wilmer paused here, and his
tired eyes hardened for a moment.
Eve had number Of casusities, !"
he said.
and what happened?"
The look in his eyes changed. but
the FIRE In them remsined.
Those Germans are all noncom.
batants now" he said. "and they are
not prisoners, either. That was our
first experiences with their 'Ksmerad'
trict.
AT another place in that wheat
field the machine gunners kept shoot
ing at our men all the way from sew
eral hundred yards until we were al
most on top Of them. We had cas-
ualties here. also. Just as we sprsng
at them they let 20 the gun and tried
to throw up their arms. They've done
that to us and our allies time after
time. shoot as many Of ms rs they
can. then surrender at the last minute
But they were a bit too late this time
Many Of US had our automaties in our
hands and we got everyone OF them
at hts gun.
Right now. this very day. let me
tell you. there is still one nest Of Ger
man machine guns behing US in Bal
leau woods. They are trying TO shoot
as many Of us down as they can
shoot US from the back and when we
get them they viii probably try to
surrender. This is the kind Of war
fare Germany has been seeking. .
They call il open warfare. but. be-
lieve men, IL is not warfare in the
open rs a white man knows It,"

quests by Henry p. Dawson. ch irman

at first in Italy.
