OUR MEN DON'T LIKE TO "DIG IN" Troops In France Can't Enthuse Over Molelike Tactics. PROBLEM FOR THE OFFICERS Passion For Digging In Is So Strong With Germans That They Have Been Known Desperately to Claw Holes In Ground With Hands Until Ends of Fingers Were Practically Worn Off. One of the greatest problems Ameri can officers Lave before them is im pressing ui>on their men the absolute importance of learning the best ways Of keeping under cover. The Ameri can 6oldier is not a natural "digger lu. lie is much like his Canadian brother in arms in that respect, for it is an old saying on the British front that Canadians will die in the last ditch, but never dig it. It is the American spirit, as it was that of the Canadians, to stand up and light, but the world war has long since passed that stage. and now in the long wear and worry of a struggle of attri tion the host commander is the one Mho best conserves bis men by keep ing them under cover. One of tlie great reasons why the Germans still are in France and Bel gium is tbeir wonderful facility for digging themselves in. They have a perfect passion tor it and an incentive as well, for the allied artillery never ceases to pound tlieni day and night. Can't Enthuse Over Shovel. The German belief that they can dig faster than a modern army can ad vance is one of the principles of their defensive tactics. Notwithstanding all that has been told along this line, not withstanding the heroic efforts to rouse his enthusiasm over the pick and shov el, the American soldier has remained decidedly lukewarm. He came to 1' ranee to tight the Germans, he says, and not to dig a hole and look at them through a spyglass. The French, Canadian and Australian soldiers all resent the idea of digging hi and would not admit the necessity of doiug so un til bitter losses taught them a dearly bought lesson. It is purely a matter of temperament, and there seems to be no doubt now that only actual battle experience will convince American soldiers that the ability to take advantage of any bit of cover is one of the greatest assets the modern man at arms can have. "It seems a shame to have to curb the fine fighting sprit of our troops." said an American training officer, "but the men must be made to understand as !ar as possible that impetuosity must be subordinated to steadiness. This has become a time clock war. The men must advance in given time and go no farther. Every step of in fantry advance must first be worked out with the artillery, and when the plan is arranged it must be Strictly ad hered to." 1 he natural fighting man, it seems, has a natural antipathy to digging in. Even in these late months of war Brit ish 1 ommies would mhch rather remain above ground and stand chances of get ting killed by shells than to dig the deep dugouts so adored by the Germans. In planning the battle of Messiues Ridge, which was a model of clean cut victory, the British commanded took into account the fighting man's point of \ iew, and when the advance had reach ed a stage where it gave the British covered high ground the fighting men were directed t<5 take a rest, while spe cially organized labor battalions were rushed up from the rear to do the neces sary digging and consolidating of new trenches, so as to make them thorough ly proof against counterattack. American O. K.'s That Plan. 1 'ie result was that the fighting men, unhampered and un worried by neces sity of digging, went forward later in the day and took objectives that were rather hoped for than actually expect ed. 1 hose are the tactics the Ameri cuu fighting man would like to see. The}' appeal to him, but Just now he is being put through a pretty stiff course of digging. This does not ap ply to digging trenches alone. lie Is being taught how to dig himself in in dividually while lying fiat on the ground in face of enemy fire, thus get ting temporary shelter and protection in a sort of grave-like excavation. It is not so often nowadays, however, that a man has actually to dig himself in on solid ground, for there is sel dom an infantry advance made over anything but ground pitted and torn with shell craters. Fighting from shell holes is an art in itself, and one that Americans must learn before taking their place in the allied line. German prisoners declare they would rather fight from shell holes on an active part of the front than from a regularly organized trench system. The latter affords the artillery too good a target. They Are Regular Moles. The Germans even conceal some of their shell holes by putting brown wa terproof sheets over them whenever an allied all-plane Is seen appi aching. The passion for digging In Is so strong with the Germans that they have been known desperately to claw hole* In the ground with their hands till the ends of their fingers were practically worn off. Thus some were found dead, others taken prisoners and had to be sent to the hospital with all their fij&ger nails gone.

CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR UHGLE SAM'S TROOPS At Home and Abroad They Will Get Gifts From Red Cross Santa. No American soldier or sailor will fail to receive a useful gift next Christ mas, whether he is in America or France. The American Red Cross, with its membership of 3,000,000 persons, has just completed plans for the event. Ked Cross chapters nearest the thirty two camps and cantonments will ar range community Christmas trees, with carols, pageants and holiday movies, to which the men will be invited. Packages will be forwarded to every soldier and sailor abroad. In each package will be surprises, in addition to a regular list, including writing paper, pipes, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, unbreakable mirrors, puzzles, dominos, handkerchiefs and playing cards. Many of the chapters are already at work on their Christmas allotments of comfort bags. These will be made of khaki and furnished with extra pairs of woolen socks, needles, pins, thread and buttons. Suggestions for articles to be donated include mouth organs, safety razors, extra soap, spoons and knives. The money used will be that con tributed for the express purpose of Christmas cheer. None of the war fund will go In the Christmas gift fund. The lied Cross last year remembered the men on the Mexican border, in Haiti and Santo Doming?. As to the value of it (Jeneral Pershing said: "These things bring the soldier to remember that the people at home are behind him. Xou do not know how much that is go ing to mean to us who are abroad. You do not know how much that means to any soldier who is over here carrying the flag for his country." REVIVE MARKSMANSHIP. Rifle Shooting Again to Become Impor tant In World War. Convinced that marksmanship with the rifle is not altogether a lost art, even if it lins been somewhat neglected in these latter days of war, the com manders of the American forces now preparing in France for the battlefront are giving their men a thorough course of instruction in the school of rifle fire. It always has been a tradition among European armies that the United States had the finest shooting army in the world, no matter what might be its shortcomings in other respects. This tradition the new American army hopes to keep alive, and there is a general be lief among the officers of the expedi tionary force that the time again will come when rifle fire may be of the ut most importance. The old regular British army, which virtually was annihilated in the first six months of the war, also was a fine shooting army, and its ability with the rifle cost the Germans dearly on many occasions. Both rifle practice and machine gun work will appeal to the American sol diers. It is a phase of training foi which they are particularly keen, and already they have been making some marvelous scores with both weapons. GIVES PRESIDENT A PULL Baltimorean's Motor Truck Helps Wil son's Car Out of a Mire. President and Mrs. Wilson had an unpleasant experience while motoring on the Belair road. Accompanied by Eecret service men, they were enjoying the trip when In turning their limou sine backed off the highway into a mire covered with grass, into which the wheels of the machine sank almost out of sight. The chauffeur and secret service men called a farmer with a mule team, but the mules were unable to budge the car. Afterward a . Baltimore man, driving a five ton truck, came nlong. and in a short time the powerful motor pulled out the president's car. The Beer et service men offered to pay the owner of the track, but he declined to accept any money. "It is enough reward to be able to get President Wilson out of a hole," re marked the Italtimorcan as be return ed to bia truck. BETTER MAKE YOUR FINANCIAL arrangements before the Fall rush starts.
