Sidelights on the European War

The bayonet was first prom ounCed
obsolete in the Spanish American
war. In the few cases whore
fighting was done in the Philip
pines at close quarters. the Americans
used their guns as clubs. throwing
away their bayonets as a nuisance.
This was also the verdict Of the Brit
ish in the Boer war. In the Russo-Jsp
anese campaign, however. the bayonet
returned TO favor with the result that
the American government reconsld-
cred its intention TO abolish the bay
onet. and this arm was also retained
by the British.
Now come the reports OF the con-
slant use Of the bayonet in trench
warfare. Quickness of thrust and
parry, of foot, eye and decision are
necessary in this kind OF fighting Bu-
the drill sergeants. the jiu iirsuist and
fencing masters complain. are con
