NEW KND OF SHELL EXPLAINS • •
SUCCESS OF RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
Reports Differ as to Whether It is a Jap Invention or Product
of Russian Scientists.
A despatch from London says: A
new kind of shell, said by some corre-
spondents to be a Japanese invention,
while others assert it is the product
of Russian scientists, is generally giv-
en the chief credit for the success of
the new Ruesian offensive in dee
spatehes from Petrograd. Incredible
meantities of this new weapon are be-
ing used by General Brussiloff, and its
effect ie said,' to surpass everything
witneesed irithe war thus far.
"Of couree, nothing can be said
about the nature of this shell," says
the Moening Post's correspondent at

Georges Carpentier, the famous French pugilist, and LiCtitenant Na-

warplane. The airmen are standing in front of Navarre's machine, and it

bringing down of sixteen German aeros being quite a record for one
aviator. He is familiarly known as the "Fokker Killer," the nickname be-

BONAR LAW'S STATEMENT
PLEASES THE FRENCH.
A despatch from Paris says: The
greatest interest has been roused
here by Bonar Law's statement bo Le
Matin that the British army is com-
pletely in accord with Gen. Joffre
and is prepared to move whenever the
French Headquarters Staff sees fit.
The statement finally nails the lie that
the British are indifferent to the
French losses before Verdun. The
press expresses Much satisfaction
over Bonar Law's frank statement.
From .the outset the military author-
ities here have insisted that it would
be playing 'Germany's game for the
British to move before the psycholo-
gical moment, and they have scouted
the anti-British rumors as idle or ma-
licious gossip. Bonar Law's statement
will go far to reassure them.

A.US1RIAN LOSSES
NUMBER 300,000
Original Austrian Force Has
Been Reduced to
300,000.
A despatch from Petrograd says:
Confidence prevails among Russian
observers of the offensive along the
southern section of the battle line that
the catalogue of the successes won by
Generals- Brussiloff and Letchitsky is
by no means complebe. It is estimated
that the Teutonic losses along the
front from the Pripet to the Rou-
manian border now total 300,000, or
nearly half the original effectives.
Great satisfaction is felt at the re-
establishment of contact with the
Teutons along the whole south -west -
909 front, but attention is chiefly
centred upon the operations for
Kovel, Vladimir-Volynski, Czernowitz
and KolOmea. Shumsy, summar-
izing the results of the fighting',
makes the deduction from the latest
Russian official statement that the en-
tire line of the Stripa is now occu-
pied by the Rusetans.
The precipitancy of the retreat of
the Austrians in many sectors is
shown -by the fact that the Russians
found several telegraphic and tele-
phonic installations intact, and are
now using them. The cartridges cap-
tured in the Stripa trenches would
have sufficed for the use of the Aus-
trians in the most intensive sort of
firing for several weeks.
NEW RUSSIAN SHELL
ACME OF DESTRUCTIVENESS.
A despatch from. London says: The
Morning Post has bhe following from
Petrograd: The Russian artillery has
been magnificent throughout this
war, but on the present occasion it
has exceeded its own highest records.
Tha effect upon the enemy is terrify-
ing and a general panic has usually
ensued, for the Russians have invent-
ed a new shell and have used ib in in-
credible quantities. Its deadly re-
sults are seen in the official bulletins,
Nothing can be said, of course, about
the nature of the new shell. From
what I have heard I shouldstudge it
admits of no effective defensive reply.
The Universities of Russia have been
ibusily employed for twelve months
1 past vying with one another 'in
search for some superlative form of
effective shell.
GERMAN LOSS AT VERDUN
DURING FIVE moNnis.
A despatch from Paris says: Fig-
ures compiled from reports received
by the French War Office state that
the Germans since the beginning of
the movement against Verdun have
had thirty-nine divisions, or approai-
' mately 780,000 men ether completely
or partially "demolished." , These are
the losses for the five months since
' the Verdun battles have been raging.
