"NON-RlCOCHET" SHELL
LATEST NAVAL DEVICE
Dives When It Strikes Water.
Bursts at Predetermined Depth or
on Striking Surface.

The "non-rfcochet" shell, e weapon as
deadly as the depth charge, is the now
est device perfected by the Navy ord
nance experts for use against German
submarines.
The new shell dives when it strikes
the surface Of the water. instead of
bouncing, as do the ordinary missiles
used in either naval or coast defense
artillery. In addition, through the use
of a new fuse. the charge can be made
to explode on contact with a solid sur
face under the water or at a prede-
termined depth.
The value Of the latest anti-subma-
rine weapon lies in the fact that shots
which fall slightly short will be of as
much effect as those which register d.
rest hits. Pursuing its course beneath
the water. the shell will explode
against the side of the submerged sub
marine.
Similarly when these shells are aimed
at periscope Of a submarine, headed
bow on, there Is material increase in
the chances that an overshot will take
effect somewhere along the hull
The Navy Department has forbidden
the publication of details Of the inven-
ton. 1t is known that the British and
French admiralties also have adopted it.

DEFEND USE OF ANIMALS
IN ITS RESEARCH WORK
Medical Officers With Gen. Pershins
Send Cablegram of Approval
to Red Cross Headquarters.

A cablegram signed by thirty-eight
army in France has been received by
the American Red Cross defending the
action Of the Red Cross in using ami
mails to study new diseases which have
grown out of the present war. The Red
Cross has set aside 100000 for such
research work. which is being carried
on In cooperation with the medical
corps of the Pershing army.
The cablegram, as given out from
Red Cross headquarters here. reads in
part:
I'VE feel that any one endeavorinR
to stop the Red Cross from assisting
in its humanitarian and humane desire
to prevent American soldiers from be-
ing diseased and protecting them by
solving the peculiar new problems of
disease with which the Army is con-
fronted is in reality giving aid and
comfort to the enemy. Research work
SO far undertaken Includes studies on
anesthesia, shell shock and trench
fever, which last will be the main line
of investigation this winter. We are
also investigating trench nephritis and
foot wound infections. including gas

OTTAWA. January 23-Sir Frederick
Edwin Smith, attorney general of Great
Britain, in statement issued last night
with reference to Sir Edward Carson's
resignation and the Irish question, said
Il have been away many weeks and
it is difficult to say just what has hap
pened. but of this I am certain: Sir
Edward Carson's course has been taken
on patriotic grounds. His letter to the
prime minister makes 1t quite clear he
will support the government in its war
measures"
OF the probable policy OF the British
governm ent should the Irish convention
fail, Sir Frederick said:
'1 think we had better wait and SOC
II It fails. The British government has
made every effort toward a system, and
