The novel projectile seen pro- 

 truding from the muzzle of the 

 gun is used by the French in 

 cutting the barbed wire en- 

 tanglements erected in front of 

 the German trenches. The 

 gun is fired in such a manner 

 that the projectile falls amidst 

 the entanglements, carrying a 

 long cable with it. The sol- 

 diers then pull on the cable, 

 and in so doing tear down the 

 elaborate barbed wire defences.

 monoplane that was brought 

 to earth by accurate rifle fire.

 by fire except the tail of the 

 machine.

 of good cheer, despite the many hardships and pri- 

 vations. For days at a time the soldiers have to 

 live in water-filled trenches and suffer intense cold, 

 besides being constantly in danger of death. 



The British battleship "Queen 

 Elizabeth," the largest fighting 

 ship in the world, which has 

 been taking an active part in
