picked men were quartered about -
or 30 miles behind the lines, and they
live like athletes training for a prize
fight. They have great athletic fields
where they play football and practice
field sports. Theaters and music are
provided for their amusement. While
things are quiet at the front they are
kept in as perfect physical and mental
condition as art and science can de-
wise. Then, when the commanders at
the front need men for q charge

shell-swept open fields, word is sent
back for these special troops. The
needed number are told of, they are
loaded into automobiles. carried swift

they make their charge; trench troops
move up and occupy the ground they
have gained, and the attackers-such
as are left of them-go back TO their
football and training. TO get ready 10
