ENGLAND GATHERING UP
TROPHIES OF THE WAR
(By Associated Press

MANCHESTER, England, Mob. IL
Among the most interesting of the
war trophies that have found their way
over here" says the Manchester Guard
ian, "are some specimens of the Ger
man lance. 1t is not a wooden pole,
but an eleven or twelve foot steel tube.
1t is very heavy and at first seems
quite unmanageable to man of ordin-
airy strength. But two-thirds of the
way down from the head towards the
butt is wrapping of thick Irvine to
give a grip. And if you hold it there,
and there only, you find that it is so
evenly poised that, as one admiring
observer remarked, you could write
your name with it.
There have been some descriptions
of cases where these tubular lances
have crumpled up in action like an
overburdened steel mast on a racing
yacht. Perhaps that may be accounted
for by the peculiar shape of the head
There is no point or spear head of any
kind. Instead there is a solid piece of
iron shaped exactly like the end of a
giant poker, square and quite blunt"
