Clubs Are Utilized BY
British Troops, In Attacking
the Germans-O Other Priinlii-
tive Weapons Are Used In the
Desperate Hand to Hand
and french Fighting Which
Is Now Being Waged

Casting aside bayonets and rifles,
many Of the English. and Canadian
soldiers in the trenches have gone
back to the use Of weapon Of the
Stone Age and are now capturing
Germans by clubbing them into In
sensibility.
Trench fighting has taken on all
the semblance Of prehistoric warfare
and indeed the troopers. lighting
with that wild spirit Of the primitive
man. might easily be imagined as
wild cave men cudgeling their foe
with their crude weapons.
Many Of the English soldiers have
constructed their own crude weap-
ons. They have taken heavy clubs.
almost too heavy to be lifted in one
hand, have loaded one end with lead
and have driven spikes into the base.
One blow of:such terrible weapon
leaves the victim unconscious for
many hours, or kills him.
A recent report from the trenches
tells Of daring corporal creeping
with four Of his men to a German
listening post. Such post is mere
\ " a saphead runout from the main
firing trench. It is post at which
one listens for sounds Of movements
and patrols.
In this case the Germans weren't
listening very well. The English
troopers reached over into the
+ trench and struck them on the head
with the caye-man clubs and few
hours later three astonished Ger
mans were'recovering consciousness
in an English trench.
BOWS AND
ARROWS.
While the club is about the most
prehistoric OF weapons employed in
the present warfare there are many
relics Of medieval times being em-
B ployed. Some Of the Indian troops
prefer bow and arrow while some
troops from Africa still throw jaye-
Inns. Helmets are generally worn to
\ protect the head against missiles
dropped from zeppelins and from
bursting shrapnel while shields and
ibreast-plates are employed in many
cases.
The great chasm Of time that d.
yides the present era from that mys-
terious period Of some 1000 years
before the Christian era. the history
Of which is told only by the meagre
ands Of crude bone weapons, might
easily be bridged by the Imagination
were one to draw a mental picture Of
the wild man Of the Stone Age stalk
ing game with heavy club and COM
pare it with the shrieking, semi
Economical wild man in the trenches
today.
The weapon Of these modern cave
men and Of those of the Stone Age
\ are the same; their lust for blood
shed and their hatred OF their foe is
the same. and both displayed the
same cunning that made the Wild
( man the victor over both his human
and animal foe and today makes the
twentieth century cave-men Of the
trenches the victor in hand to hand
encounters with his foe. M
Indeed when the fight resolves It,
self into hand to hand combat it al
most seems that the centuries that
cloud the past are rolled away and
there in the trenches of France and
Belgium the wild men OF the Palae.
