THE "DACHSHUND 500 MILE SHELL." Here's a New and Wonderfully Powerful Long Range 500 Mile Shell Which the Allies Can Use In Their Present Howitzers and Siege Guns and Beat "Fritz" at His Own Game. The Big Guns Ordinarily Fire Shells 20 to 25 Miles. By Installing a Dog Tread-Power In Each of These Shells, and Placing a Pair of Interned Dachshunds in Each Shell Before Firing, With a Piece of "Kultur" Sausage In Position as Shown, the Range Can Be Increased to at Least 500 Miles! The Dog-Power Is Transmitted by Bevel Gears to the Propeller on the Front of the Shell. I Offer This Timely and Heretofore Unthought of Invention to General Foch and His Engineers to Retaliate Against the "Hun," for I Believe "Fritz" Really Finds His Mark at Paris by Utilizing "Paris-Bred," French Poodles In Those 76 Mile Range Shells. As History Proves, a Dog Will Find His Home, Even Tho He Has to Travel Hundreds of Miles. Then He Will Wag His Tail and I Suggest That the "Time Fuse" Be, Therefore, Attached to it. Inventor, Edgar T. Rigg, Jr., Baltimore, Md.
