ALLIED ROCKET BARRAGE ON WESTERN FRONT \ » t V V ^ A NAZI NABBED These pictures, taken in Belgium, show something of the rocket weapon now in use by Canadian and British armies on the western front. At top left, Sgt. H. J. Green of Port Arthur, Ont., is holding one of the rocket projectiles and at top right, Capt. E. V. Burnett of OurBam, Ont., and Lieut. L. W. Lewis of Toronto look over one of the projectors or "guns", its 32 barrels loaded with the death-dealing rockets. Lower picture shows a barrage being fired in final firing trials. Canadian artiller3rmen led by Lt.-Col. W. E. Harris, of Samia, Ont., now district representative of the Department of Veterans Affairs at London, Ont., had a hand in developing the rocket barrage to its present potency, where a blanket of rockets laid down on enemy positions can completley demoralise the defenders. The barrage is laid down by a group of rocket projectors. In each group there are 12 projectors or "guns" each having 32 barrels. This array gives a concentration of fire comparable to that of 280 artillery pieces firing 100 pound shells. Although considerably smaller, the rocket hag a burst as effective as the medium ar- tillery shell, and a barrage can be fired by 200 men as against the 3,000 men necessary to lay down the equivalent fire power from medium artillery. It is stressed that rocket barrages do not supersede artillery for firing on specific targets since artillery fire can be more accurate. For saturating ene.my-held ground with high explosive, however, the rocket barrage has already proved itself a devastating weapon. Rich prize to fall to Maj.-Gen. High J. Gaffey's rampaging 4th Armored Division of the Third Army in its drive north of Coblenz was Lt.-Gen. Edwin Graf von Rothkirch und Trach, above, commander of the German 53rd Corps, and his whole staff. HIS COUP FAILS QUITE A GUYâ€" IN HIS TIME Col. Jose Eleuterio Pedraza, above, former Cuban army chief, was arrested with 30 other for- mer military and police officers, following assassination of Dr. Eugenio Llanillo, prominent po- litical figure and close friend of former President .Fulgencio Ba- tista. Colonel Pedraza had been living in Mexico. BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB COLLABORATOR Invading Allied soldiers discovered this store dummy and approp- riately draped it with a swastika flag, captured in the drive on Trier, Germany. Meanwhile, an enterprising lad with an eye to the future, is about to remove a pair of what he hopes will be nylons â€" for the girl back home. ROMAN DEMONSTRATION Ancient ruins of Colosseum in Rome provide background to scene of mass protest following escape of Lt. Gen. Mario Roatta while his trial as war criminal was in progress. Banner with hammer and aickle emblem is prominently displayed. Later crowd marched to royal palac* Quirinale where one man was killed and several were wounded in dash with mounted Carabinieri. IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A CHIMPANZEE Recovering from a recent attack of pneumonia, Babo, IGc-youud chimpanzee at Toledo Zoo, is nursed back to health by attendant Ed Strassburg. Wrapped in warm blankets, Babo has his pulse taken daily and seemingly reflects confidence in his "doctor." Hey, spot the britches I And long hair, too. That's about the aver- age remark our boys make on seeing this statue in the town of Mcers, Germany, of Frederick I of Prussia, who was quite well known as a militarist in his time, too.
