of tlio order fur C.000,000 given lo I'tcsldciit
Schwab by l.otd Kitchener, tho Ilrlllsh
War Scciotary, and when stoiics come
fiom noi them Franco that the lirilish ar
tillery has been unusually active tlio
chances nro that a majority ot tho shells
fired were mado hctc.
Tho projectiles aio sltiaptipl, knnvvn in
military parlance as "shells." Tho ma
jority of tho blnapnel Is three Inches in
diameter, and a thice-lnoh shrapnel Is
loaded with ZtO-half-incli leaden bulletb,
and also with tiinngular ploces of steel.
In tho six-Inch shrapnel 600 of tho leaden
bullets aro loaded. Tho bullets rain down
on tho enemy when uted by tho Indirect
s.vstem of flie invented by tho French
and adopted by the artillery corps ot all
armies.
Thu bullets nro cut by the bushel with
a new mnchlno Invented and constiucied
by tho mechanical engineers of tho Heth
k'liem Steel Company for the purpose.
Strips of lead half nn Inch Mitiara como
in big rolls, nnd as tho lead is led through
tho nuichlno tho bullets aro spit out at
tho rate of about 1000 a minute. ,
Under favorable conditions nn expert
range finder nnd n good gunner will ad
Just things so that tho shrapnel will ex
plode within a few yards of any given
tpot, hay 10 or 50 fcot in tlio nlr. Tho
bullets will strike a circle GO to 80 feet In
diameter, and the pemon within that
clrclo who is not hit Is, lucky.
Tho projectiles called "shells" aro hol
low steel costings. Theso nio ut present
snipped from tho Hethlchem works to
ono of tho dii Pont plants, where they
nro loaded. This will bo the case until
