New War-Time Secret, a Three-inch Shell, is Given to Public New York. July 8. A hollow , three-inch shell, fused to emit on I striking a gas of smoke-like density j by day, and luminous at night, and used to transmit messages from di- j vision headquarters, to advanced or ; exposed positions, is another war- j time secret which has now been made public. This form of communication wns first used by the Germans, and af terward adopted by tho Allies. A sample of the shell—one that was captured from the enemy durjng the St. Mlhiel drive—was brought home by Vtce-Admiral Albert Gleaves on his return from France. According to Admiral Gleaves. the shell has a range of about 2,000 yards, and Is self propelling: Its velocity was such as to require 14 seconds to travel that distance, "slow enough." the admiral said, to enable an active man to dodge It, should he see or hear It coming. When it struck, It could be readily located by its smoke cloud by day. i or Its light by night, picked up. a cap unscrewed and the message in- | side delivered to the officer for j whom it was Intended. !
