GERMANS USING
NEW EXPLOSIVE
ROTTERDAM, Oct. 27.—What sort
of explosive the Germans use in the
hig howitzer shells is still a mys
tery. French officers of forts bom
barded by the Germans maintain that
the charge of the projectile is melin
ite, but others have expressed the
opinion that the explosive is some
thing new, and that the gases formed
by it have even greater expansion
than those of nitroglycerin, the
strongest high explosive known.
There Is no doubt that the vapors
of the explosive have a violent tox
ic effect, and nothing but a strong
application of oxygen will revive
those succumbing to them.
The gun is made with two barrels,
a long one for flat range fire, and
a short one for high-angle lire. In
the former the ballistic charge is nec
essarily stronger, and with a projec
tile weighing 1,600 to 1,800 pounds
the pressure exerted by the explo
sion upon the chamber walls cannot
be less than 180 tons to the square
inch, it is said. The long-barreled
gun is used against the faces offer
ed by fortifications, while the mortar
drops its shells from a high elevation
into the fort or redoubt. Their sight,
ranges are said to be eight and live
kilometres, respectively, while, ac
cording to ':he Koelnische Zeiiuug,
Lhc flight of the shell exceeds twelve
and ton kilouodres, (7 1-2 and tl 1-4
miles.)

George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible lor me at this time, owing to the close
of the mining and business season at this placer camp, to
come before you in person, I find it necessary to make
this announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial
Legislature, from the Third Division, at the
Election on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska;—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
office, THEN VOTE FOR ME. Yours very truly,
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914. GEORGE R. GOSHAW.
