its activity, firing over the heads of the
advancing troops, if necessary. Rein
forcement after reinforcement is sent from
the reserve to the firing line in order to
replace the losses, to strengthen it, and
to advance the firing line, which is fol-
lowed by the artillery taking fresh posi-
tons and opening fire at close range, pre-
venting the arrival of support from the
enemy's reserves
When the infantry has advanced near
enough to the enemy's line to reach it in
one rush, it opens magazine fire and then
dashes forward with fixed bayonets to
the trenches, and, if the enemy stands,
INDUCES in hand to hand conflict. The
next line in rear joins the charge, while
third is rushed up to hold the ground
vacated by the chargers and to be ready
to repel a counter attack in case the
charge is unsuccessful If the charge is
carried home, the artillery is brought up
to dislodge the artillery of the defense,
which will endeavor to cover the retreat.
During this period the cavalry has been
withdrawn to the TANKS and is engaged
in threatening the line of retreat, and,
should the opportunity present itself,
charges the broken infantry in retreat,
and may turn the retreat into a rout.
AS soon as the position has been cap
tured, the disorganized troops are re-
formed and rested, while preparations
are made to resist any offensive return of
the enemy.

NEW WORKERS SORE
AT PRESIDENT JOHNSON

NEW YORK, September There is
every indication that there will be great
big howl put up by the management of the
Yankees over the suspension of Norman
Elberfeld by President johnson of
American League.
Johnson announced Tuesday that he had
set down the "Tobasco Kid" indefinitely.
He took occasion to administer a singing
rebuke to him for his frequent outbreaks
this season.
Certain parties interested in the Yankees
management point out that there should be
some investigation made Of the trouble be-
tween O'Loughlin and Elberfeld. The short
stop has claimed throughout the campaign
that OLoughlin has had it in for him and
also alleges that silk remarked that he
would get him."
1t is certain that the setting down of Ell
berfeld is bound to injure the chances of
the Yankees in their race for the American
League pennant. Griffith has his team
going at top speed, but the way the race Is
being contested makes 1t certain that the
least diminution of their playing effective
ness is going to cause them to lose the lead.
While the New York club has equipped
itself with a number of utility players the
aggregation Is infinitely stronger with Ell
berfeld in the lineup. Some go so far as to
claim that New York cannot win the pen
nant with Elberfeld out, and it is these per,
sons who will ask Johnson for leniency in
his suspension of the little shortstop.
