France, Mar. 13. (Correspon
dence I. --One of the Germans' fa
vorite devices for opposing Urltlsh
airmen on night raids or reconnala
sncn. a a barrage of the so-called
"rhalo-rockets." Theae consist of
long chains of brilliantly luminous
balls, bright green In1 color, which
are aent upward Ilka skyrockets In
string of 10 or 40, and vfhlcb bang'
siuiended in th aky for n consider
able tlma, apparently for the purpose
of catching the airplane and setting
fire to It.
Tna roeketa must be driven up
wlib tremendous force, probably
from a gun, nor the rise to a height
of 10,000 feet, and ean be placed
with great arcuracy. The fireballs
appear to be about a foot In diame
ter. As they lis they are often
caught by wind, and assume beau
tiful curves. Sometimes the whole
line topple and turn before It van
lahee, floating for a few . momenta
Ilka a row of atrange green Japanese
lanterna. It Is aupposed that the
balla are aupported In the air by
small parachutes. '
Thousands of these chain-rockets
are fired by the Oermana on every
occasion when the entente airmen
attack a town or camp. They are
part of the regular shrapnel barrage
which I used to hamper the attack
era, but, they give a much more spec
tacular effect than the bursting
shrapnel, which only gives a mo
mentary flash In the sky and then Is
gone., ' v
If a machine Is caught by a search
light,' hundreda of the chatn-rocketn
are strajlghtway sent up towards It.
They make a , remarkable spectacle
a tbey are seen climbing up th
sky and passing on by one.teroe
the beams of light, and finally . ap
pearing In their appointed station In
the upper darkness, , . ',
British airmen declare that the
sensation of having theae 'chain
rockets fired at them Is rather
pluasant thau otherwise. It la dif
ficult to believe that anyttyng so

green chain-rockets pierce the mist
here and there, casting a weird ra-J
dlance over the mountains and vsl

In the midst of a really'vlgornus
barrage, the chain rockets thread
the skies In sc.oreH of . fiery chains,
floating past the Invading machine
on every, side, leaving behind thorn
