HOW THE BOMB-THROWERS WORK
GLIMPSE OF 'A FRENCH ATTACK. (Reo. March 13, 5.3 op.m.) London, March 13. 'A "Times" correspondent, describing the British bomb-throwers, says: "They are strange looking men. Round their waists they carry twenty or thirty bombs, which ars little cylinders fastened to a long stick round which fall streamers- Crouching amongst the barbed-wire the b.omb-throwers, with supporting infantrymen to cover their attack, raise themselves a' little and hurl their bombs high above the parapets The bombs, gaining equilibrium from the streamers, plunge as straight-as a plumb-line into a trench. Then follows a rush. As each trench is taken the bomb-throwers get to work again, and throw bomb after bomb, jam-pot after jam-pot, grenade after grenade.— ("Times" and Sydney'"Sun" Services.)
