ACID AS WAR WEAPON.
LONDON, December 11. “ A great and friendly Power, whose name it would be impolitic to mention, has perfected a new acid of tremendous strength, which the Air Force can use to attack foreign territory,” Admiral Mark Kerr told a representative of the “ Sunday Dispatch.” “ I do not know the exact properties of the acid, but it will add tremendously to the horrors of air raids in the future. “An attaok will have three phases—first, the enemy will smash as much as possible bv means of giant bombs, then it will drop gas, and finally' a rain of acid will finish the destruction. “If the Royal Air Force had not destroyed a big German munitions factory, at the end of the war, London would have been invaded by giant planes, dropping bombs weighing nearly a ton.”
