...crowd with her, as Judge Yule well knew. He fiddled with a Canadian $5 gold piece on his watch chain. He felt the tailhead of Canadian-bred Shorthorn and U. S.-bred Hereford, poked ribs, chest, shoulders like a house guest poking the guest bed mattress. He tipped his hat forward, tipped it back. He held a whispered consultation with Armour & Co.'s portly old Colonel Edward Norris Wentworth, perennial ringmaster of livestock shows, who apparently gave him no help...
Dead Romans. High in Metsovo Pass, embracing the mud, a young Italian lay with his head and chest crumpled by machine-gun fire. No Italian had charged farther than he into Greece. Spread-eagled behind him were more of the dead. They wore green jerkins, they had mountains of kit on their backs, they all lay on their fronts in blood, all kissed the earth.

It was a converted torpedo the forward part of which consisted of two "war heads," metal cylinders each filled with 400 pounds of TNT, and equipped with both clockwork and contact detonators. The war heads were detachable from the main body of the machine...
