Stunt Is More Than Mere Mill
tary TaCtiC-It's a Real
Athletic Feat.

When the army of the allied powers
battered its way from Tien Tsin during
the Boxer rebellion just in time to re-
lieve the beleaguered legations in Pc
kin 1t was the walls of the enemy and
not their bullets that proved most trou-
blesome.
And the careful training of the troops
Of the American contingent on this lit
tie art Of warfare known as wall seal
ing" gave the American soldiers the
first call
AS they will tell you at Fort Nc
Pherson, where a squad Of eight men
from Company f recently lowered what
is claimed to be the army record for
scaling, this job of eight men getting
over a. ten or twelve-foot wall in about
the same time that it takes one man to
run 22O yards is more than a mere
military tactic 1t is an athletic feat,
timed and oiled to go like clockwork.
At the quarterly field meet Of the
Seventeenth infantry at Fort McPher-
son last Friday, thirteen teams. one
from each company and one from the
IVSllHSHldl utldCHIne0l, competed IN a
wall scaling contest. Company was
returned a victor in the remarkably
fast time Of 22 20 seconds. This, it is
claimed, is three-fifths of a second
faster than the best time heretofore
made by an army team. According to
the dope, the former record was held
by a team from the Eleventh cavalry
| Fort Oglethorpe, Dodge, Ga.
For eight grown men, fully equipped
to go over a ten-foot wall in little more
than % seconds is no Child's play. 1t
takes team work az well as speed From
| the standpoint Of an eyewitness it is
| spectacular. From the standpoint OF
| the men, it is seven kinds of work.
Here is the way it is done. according
to the descriptions furnished by an ex-
! pert The squad of eight is divided
in two ranks, front and rear. The
ranks are numbered from the right
facing the wall-that is, one, two. three
and four front and rear rank. The foul
in the rear rank go over the wall first
! boosted by the four of the front rank
! Then soldiers numbered three and -four
of the front rank push one and two oil
| the same rank over. Then four lift,
number three up and left alone on the
ground before the wall four Of the from
rank takes a running jump. catching
