Show "Molotov Cocktails" Demonstrated fate-, m - :fl r - j," . S FORT LEWIS, WASH. (Pix- I page) As a part of the 4th Army maneuvers here, men of Fort Lewis watched a demonstration demon-stration of the deadly "Molotov Cocktails" in combating enemy tanks. The "cocktail" is a bottle filled with gasoline, wrapped in gasoline-soaked cotton waste and lighted. This is thrown aflame at oncoming tanks from "foxholes," "fox-holes," in which the infantrymen infantry-men crouch, and which now take the place of old trenches. When the bottle strikes the tank, it breaks and showers the iron monster with flaming gasoline, literally roasting alive Its men inside.
