BY PAUL MANNING

NEW YORK - During the Fl
years since Versailles. countless
rumors have circulated about won
der weapons which were being de-
veloped In the military Laboratories
of the world.
These modern wonder weapons
included such old favorites OF the
comic strip as the robot bomber
and the death ray which, reports
stated. finally had been perfected
and now are ready to annihilats
soldier and civilian alike.
And now comes Reichfuehrer
Hitler to hint In his Danzig speech
that he may use q new and ter
rible weapon II the war continues.
Yet today, ~ the French and
English slowly move forward into
German territory under the clear
ing bombardment Of their own
artillery, 1t Ia murderous machine
gun fire, concrete pill-boxes con-
tanning anti-tank guns, tank traps
and regulation big guns-not death
rays and bombs Of deadly bacilli--
that bar their way.

MACHINE GUN

But the one weapon which In
1918 was king of the battlefield
and which still lives up to its title
today, In the machine gun. Yet
the only essential difference Ia that
1t IL slightly more accurate, fires
a heavier projectile q greater dis
lance, and is more widely used.
The big 8. IL and 14-inch guns
which dot the terrain behind the
