To get rid of the indigenous people of his Jewish State, Herzl favored stealth and deception (the Diaries, June 12 1895): Supposing, for example, we were obliged to clear a country of wild beasts, we should organize a large and lively hunting party, drive the animals together and throw a melinite bomb [bursting charge for shells] into their midst. 35) Aube's work with torpedoes and torpedo boats is his best-known innovation, but he also initiated a number of other projects, such as experiments with oil fuel and the initial Navy trials of the high-explosive melinite shell, which had been adopted in the French Army for bombardments and which Aube proposed to use against battleships and Italian cities. |
