MODERN WARFARE.
TERRIBLE IMPLEMENTS OF DESTRUCTION. SYDNEY, October 22. Captain Crownell,. of the Worcestershire Regiment, who was wounded in Flanders, has been appointed to the staff of the Duntroon College. He states that everyone on the western front is now armed with a threebladed dagger with a wooden grip like the top" of a shovel. One of the blades protrudes between the fingers on either side. The frontal blade drives straight forward while the others stab backward or uppercut. H, is splendid for hi -fighting. He describes a number of new types of high explosives and most destructive bombs, adding that Britain has now the paramount power as far as bombs and hand-grenades are concerned. We have, a number of surprises in these lines up our sleeves and they will shortly be sprung upon the foe.
