OFFICERS OF All
IMAGINE THEY ARE
JABBING THE HUNS
Interesting to Watch Soldiers at
Bayonet Practice jn Camp
Greene.
I Have you ever waicueu u vuiu|iau?
of men at bayonet pratice and noted
the terms used and the pep and ginger
that tl.ey put Into the work?
There Is a reason for It and the writer
wondering Just why there was ao
much expression In the drills 'asked
one of the boys In the line and he gave
the very quick reply that they were
Just getting as near to fighting the
Hun as is possible to imagine.
Some of the termi used are:
I "Carry on," "long point," "short
; point,", "slash" "Jab," "cut down."
i "butt, stick," etc. /
! Now then you can imagine yourI
pelf with a gun in had with real sharp
! bayonet fixed and an image in front
of you supposedly the kaiser and hear
j some of those terms' given ? What do
I you think you would do under similar
circumstances? Wouldn't you put pep
| and ginger into the practice too just
: the same as every boy does who goes
over and belongs to the Infantry and
among that class is the colored troops
I who are members of the splendid 810
| Pioneer Infantry under command of
Colonel Wm. A. Kont.
| When they go into some movement
there is lots of yelling along with the
! effort and that alone would scare a
1 aizAd flerman reeftnent to death
I when coming face to face" with a
bunch of Amorican fighters. The
American soldiers is now trained to
fight the Hun at close range and close
contact while the Hun handles his
gun Just the opposite with lots of
! swing and there is plenty of lost moI
tion. If yott will note the boys at bayo!
net practice, one can see that they tre
so drilled as to not lose a jnngle motion
or stroke and they are trained to
make every lick count. Along this
same line the boxing .'training which
physical director Bergmann \p giving
the men teaches them the rudiments
jof -bayonet fighting, giving them all
[the guarding and forward movements
. that are required in going-into charge.
It might be considered foolish to teach
rthem such things by the outsider, but
yon can watch the first recruits .and
iyou will see that there Is not one in a

hundred men who has not had prei
vlous training, who knows how to
properly balance his body to meet an
i adversary In a bayonet charge. In
1 most positions taken, the Hun would
knock the men over like a sack of

{practice given, it will take a half doz-,

! That is what^bayonet practice, boxing
and other training does for the
boys in. khaki today and is having
a telling effect upon the adversary, j

Mighty boys are those two,
And Caliprasi from Italy we have quiet

InHp:te of the recent "flu" epidemic
athletics in Camp Greene have pros- ^VgL <1
pered during the past three weeks. I
Thiafis probably due to an intensified
program set up by the Y. M. C. A y MB I IP
physical directors in the camp. On yiT)lT|[ . .
suggeftion of the camp surgeon gen ral
to poost all athletics which would BKpJyO
give; the men the best exercise es- Mirjfjy
and yet not further events which B
brought great messes together the fol- H J
lowing athletic games were staged n J "X '
with g.'eat success. Volley ball, a I /
game which has suddenly become yx^

seems to be of the major interest. IfSfflllTV

place were It hot for the "flu." This fit fflKafc
game as played in the camp involves EJ |l
a great many men at one time. As IH Kg c?n
many as an enusa regiment could be

tactics are introc' j-ed in handling the K^ l
A school for non-coins has been BA ?

in boxing instruction are being han- fipSpBt

at intervals where they would fit Br W Q3^^-awS|

One of the biggest push ball game-; jvflngRwj
