TRACER BULLET IS DEVELOPED

Development of tracer" bullet for use in machine guns, which en- ables the gunner to follow the course of the missile he has fired, and which, 1t is declared, will per- init the gunner tt accomplish his mission with a minimum expendf- ture of ammunition, has been ac- complished by the Ordnance De- partment of the Army, 1t mas an- rounced by the Department of War on July 31.
 This ype of ammunition was produced, the department announc- ed, by inserting a chemical compo- sition in the base of the bullets which ignites as the bullet left the muzzle and produces a light that the gunner could watch during it's flight Red color was adopted for this purpose, it was declared, be- cause exeriments disclosed that 1t does not blend with the sky colors and therefore gives a more clearly defined trace. This new bullet gives a trace of approximately 1900 wards and is loaded into ammuni- tion belts for machine gun use In the proportion of one tracer to every five standard ball cartridges.
