In Berlin the story was circulated that Fort Eben Emael, strongest of the Leigeâ€"Albert canal defeéence posts, had been subdued by use of an amazing new secret weapon known as the "Angriffsmittel." Other reports told of the use of nerveâ€"gas which rendered the defenders of the fort incapable of The suceess of the German drive into Franceâ€"from a purely military standpointâ€"may be attached directly to the use of the heavy breakâ€"through tank, which is itself an improved, "old" weapon. This type of tank received its first test in smashing a highly organâ€" ized defensive position in the battle of Cambria in 1917. Germany, through the writings of Gen. Ludwig von Eimannsberger, author of "Mechanized War," realized that the breakâ€"through tank was an essential to modern wars as were armored divisions and attack aviation. This is no more a secret weapon than the homely dust pan, rake and small hand pump used by the British as the most effective weapons yet devised in dealing with the incenâ€" diary bombs. The brief campaign in which Gerâ€" many smashed through the armies of The Netherlands, Belzium, Britain and France, and forced the capitulation of the French republic in the short space of seven weeks, provided fertile ground for . reports of revolutionary weapons which, it was argued, the Germans must be using to. accomplish such feats. Attention was focused, for instance, on the flameâ€"thrower, which, mounted on tanks or carried by infantry troops, could permit lishltning _ advances through enemy lines. figchting Back to Archimedes Actually it has been proven that the flameâ€"thrower, while used by some of the belligerents, is inefficient due to speed with which fuel is used up. Furthermore its original use may be traced back to Archimedss and the sieze of Syracuse. As for the capture of Ebeéen Emael, stories of secret weapons bear only too clearly the stamp of official German propaganda, designed to cover up the methods of subterfuge and the familiar "Boring from within" doubtlessly emâ€" ployed to bring about the fort‘s quick surrender. Refinements and improvements in design have given many old weapons new potentialities. But basie princiâ€" ples of ballistics and operation of all iypes of weapons have shown little change. The fact is that during nearly 20 months of the present war, neither the countries of Europe, Asia, or Africa or the United States with its present intense rearmament drive, have proâ€" duced any genuinely "new" or "secret" weaponsâ€"much less any that promise to revolutionize modern warfare. fear, and they will undoubtedly conâ€" tinue to do so until this "strategy" is recognizeq as a part of the typlcal Nazi procedure., No such weapon has as yet made its appearance. . The warnings, however, have perhaps served their purpose in undermining morale by engendering Secret Weapon Yet to be Used by the Nazi Gangsters In these categories many relatively No military authority would comâ€" pletey rule out the possibility of some unique development. But the history of warfare shows that such developâ€" ments do not spring into being fullâ€" blown. Rather, they come gradually. And the alert commanderâ€"even in the face of some new method or improved strategy â€" still has at his command methods of defence which are adequate if properly used. "I don‘t mind, George," was. his wife‘s calm and aggravating reply, "so long as you wipe your feet firs:." â€"Sudbury Star. "Now, look here, Mary, IT‘m going put my foot down on this awful ¢ travagance." Then there is the local gentloman who was taking his wife to task for spending $100 on a rug. He appeared *to think that the whole thing was neeaâ€" less extravagance, and declared: A 155 mm. howitzer has been equipâ€" ped with penumatic tires and air brakes with increase in the possible speed or from 10 to 50 miles per hour, and has a range of about seven miles. A new antiâ€"aircraft gun fires at 12.7 pound projectile vertically 9,700 yards a rate of 25 shots a minute; a 105 mm. antiâ€"aircraft gun fires a 33â€"pound proâ€" jective vertically about 14,000 yards; a 14â€"inch seacoast gun mounted on railâ€" ways fires a 1,560â€"pound projective 25 miles; ang a 16â€"inch seacoast gun on a barbette mount fires a 2,100â€"pound pm- jectile to a range of 30 miles. In the field of tanks a new light tank has been developed which carries one 37 mm. cannon and four machineâ€"guns, while another medium heavy model is also being turned out. Similar types of equipment are in the hands of the warring nations toâ€" day. ~All are relatively new weapons, soâ€"called, but they are the result of evolution of equipment most of which was used in the First Great War. The latest tank type used by the U.S. army is a development of the sixâ€"ton tank used in 1917. It has heavier armament, and heavier armor, larger track, more favorable weight distriâ€" bution and better accessibility to the engine compartment. But other t4an these refinements, it is basically the same tank. A new 75 mm. gunâ€"medium artillery â€"has been developed with a new standard highâ€"speed carriage, and a 155 mm. gun has been put into operaâ€" tion that will fire a 95â€"pound projecâ€" tile 26,000 yards at a maximum elevaâ€" tion Oof 45 degrees. The .30 calibre Browning machineâ€" gun which fires 500 rounds a minute at a range of three miles, and the .50 calibre Browning which fires 400 rounds a minute at a horizontal range of four miles, are likewise developâ€" ments of early types of machineâ€"guns. Develop ‘Gradually Many other soâ€"called new weapons have been produced by the ordnance of the United States army. There is a 37 mm. antiâ€"tank gun which will pierce one and oneâ€"half inches of arâ€" mor plate at 1,000 yards, and there is a 37 mm. anti aircraft gun capable of 120 shots a minute of full automatic firse for defence against lowâ€"flying planes. | new weapons have been developed by; each country. For instance, in the: United States many new types of orâ€" anance are in use today which are the outâ€"growth of earlier types which have been developed through the years by experimenting. | | | : Pictured above is pretty little Pat Thompson, who will be the youngâ€" est skater to take part in the Porâ€" cupine Figure Skating Carnival, to take nlace at the McIntyre Arena on Saturday, April 19th, and Monday, April 21st. Pat is shown wearing the charming costume in which she will appear. The .30 calibre Garand semiâ€"autoâ€" matic rifle in use in the United States, which fires accurately two and oneâ€" half times as fast as the Springfield model of 1903, would hardly be called a new or secret weapon. THE PORCUTPTINT Automatic meters are <used by 118 cities, annual meters by 117 cities, and iboth types by 10 cities. A major development during 1940 was increased use of the penny meter, !now in operation in 89 cities, the iAssootatlon said.
