TRAINING SNIPERS
 BEHIND THE LINES
British Sharpshooters Practicing on LoophOleS Of the "Enemy"

.(Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 On the British Front, April 10.- The spectacle of officers and soldiers playing at war within gunshot of op- erations which form a part of the greatest conflict in history might seem to be an unusual sight, and yet this is actually taking place daily back of the British lines. A correspond ent of the Associated Press visited two schools of instruction where men. al l. ready trained in the art of warfare were seriously conducting mimic bat { ties for. experimental purposes within sound of the big guns which were causing death and destruction tow ards the front. .- F.. One of these schools was for the training of snipers. The men in this school are brought together to learn sharpshooting, for they are all. ex ports. Their business is to become fa- miliar with methods of concealing trench lOopholes so that the Germans cannot see them, and to learn to dis tinguish loopholes along the German lines.
 At one point line of trenches was

imaginary German loopholes con- siderable distance away. Openings of various kinds were displayed across the field and at these aperatures an oc- casional dummy head would appear, to be shot away instantly by the alert snipers.
 When man has perfected himself in the art of sniping he is sent along to the front line trenches or where ever needed Not all snipers go through sniping schools but all re- ceive the benefit of the instruction given in them
 The second school was one for ex- perim enting in the building of trench es. Here all sorts of ideas relating to the construction of trenches are put into effect, as any man who has a scheme for improving a trench can have his plan executed. Trenches of all descriptions are carefully laid out, dugouts are built and machine gun positions are constructed Wire en- tanglements of different varieties also are eXperimented with to discover which is the most effective.

BATTLEFIELD DEBRIS
 NOT THROWN AWAY
"NO Waste" Is Motto Of British
 in Gigantic Struggle

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
 On the British Front, France, April 1O-The question of what becomes of the vast number of broken imple- ments of warfare. and the discarded clothing and shoes that are commonly supposed to strew the battlefelds where great armies are operating, may be answered. so far as the Brit ish Expeditionary force is concerned, by a visit to one of the bases of the British army. All these things, from the big gun which has been shattered by a shell. to the smallest part of Tommy Atkins personal equipment which has been broken or lost are gathered up and returned to one of the bases where they are repaired if possible. If they cannot be mended renewing other implements or ar ticles of the same kind, and in event that they are hopelessly broken or torn they are sold as junk.
 A correspondent of The Associated Press was permitted to visit one of these big repair depots. Depart ments of every description were bus fly engaged in the work of restora- tion. Tn one building was a pile of worn boOts-a veritable mountain of muddy foot gear. These were being disinfected, cleaned, resoled, and
New Britain herald., 1916-04-26

repaired in other ways at the rate of seven thousand pairs a week by a large force of experts. As fast as they were finished they were placed in stock ready to go back to the trenches when there should be a call for more boots.
 In other shops parts of broken harness from the equipment of the army horses were being repaired, sad dies were being made over, rifles were being made whole, big guns were in the process of renewal, uniforms and equipments were being overhauled- in fact, every conceivable sort of thing which finds use in the army was being renovated. All unservice- able bits of metal were being stored to sell to foundries and even the tattered pieces of uniforms were be- ing made ready~for the call of dealers who buy cloth of this description for various manufacturing purposes.
 Much of the work in this repair de- pot was being, done by French girls, although large force of men was required for the heavy work and such duties as called for skilled labor.
 An officer explained that mo waste. was the motto under which the British forces were working and declared that the result was the saving of vast sums of money for the government.

laid out just as though ready for bat tie. Through the top of the trenches facing imaginary German lines. were scores of lOOphOles of every size and description, each one concealed in a different way. Unique methods had been adopted in many cases to render these holes invisible to the German eye and so well had they succeeded that an officer going along in front of the trench; explaining the system, oft .en had to search for some time before he could find the openings.
 At this school any new ideas per- taining to this methods of warfare are experim ented with and each man learns numerous ways of protecting himself from the German fire. This is considered a most important mat ter for the discovery by an opponent sharpsh ooter of a loophole through which a man is firing means almost sure death to the latter.

Adding 1000 Supers to
the Charms of

The newest of screen spectacles to bid
for Philadelphia popularity is "The Dumb
Girl of Portici," which comes to the For

versal forces did not rely alone upon the
popularity of Anna Pavlowa, who mines
the principal part, but employed thousands

were, to say the least. interesting.
Altogether there were about 1000 persons
In the Neapolitan street scenes-principals
soldiers mobiles, fisher folk and villagers,
and they were marvelously handled by the
producers, Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley.
Miss Weber. Americas most distinguished
woman producer and creator Of 'Hypo-

after which he would issue his orders to
the great crowd of participants through

phones, which had been stationed at various
points In this manner the chances of
troubles were minimized, and the scenes
we're enacted most satisfactorily and with
out single hitch Seven cameras were
in operation. The cinematographers all

production. were stationed in different parts
or the set, and the results obtained were
especially gratifying to the producers.
One day during the taking OF some of
the scenes for this production former Gov
ernor John M. Slaton. of Georgia, looked on
with great interest He was stationed on
high platform. and as he looked on in
amazement he exclaimed, 'Very wonderful,
indeed! This is certainly remarkable"

Some of the earlier scenes in this great
production were taken in Chicago at the

next 10 the Midway Gardens, and was
chosen in order that Anna Pavlowa, who
was appearing at the Midway at the time,
might also be near the studio. All OF the
interiors for "The Dumb Girl of Portiei"
were taken at the temporary studio which
had been erected at the Sans Souci Gardens
