defensive work, together with wire
entanglements.
These trenches, of course, will
never be completed. Every day a
regiment digs more dugouts. strings
more wire, adds fresh hundred
yards or so Of trench to- those already
completed. The real work of the
trenches is digging them, as many a
back-weary marine can testify The
work Of defending them is another
proposition, up to the man behind
the gun, whether he be machine gun.
ner, rifleman, or artilleryman.
Bayonet Practice.
At Quantico they react to the
weapon of the moment. Only few
months ago the Mills grenade was
the popular weapon-now it's the
bayonet The primitive. two-edg ed
weapon has gained importance rapid
ly, and all instructors, foreign and
American, are developing their fight
ers into good bayonet men. The ma
rines have four distinct drills with
the bayonet. First, the regular bay
onet exercise. to which they have
added several new thrusts, learned
from the English; another in opposi.
ton to stuffed dummies, and contests
against living opponents. The old
bayonet exercise has not been dis
carded, but has been improved by new
thrusts. Among these IS the upward
thrust, delivered from the floor of the
trench against the enemy. a down.
ward thrust against a prone object
and a backward pull to dislodge the
bayonet.
Probably the nearest approach to
actual fighting is developed by the
duel" Each man, padded, mas'Sea
and wearing gauntlets. is equipped
with a rifle, fitted with ruhher
bayonet topred with a button. The
opponents place themselves about
forty yards apart and charge. This
calls for strength, skill and aggres
siveness, and lively set-tos result. A
touch with the button-point on any
part of the body is considered "hit. .
To practice throwing, the marines
have invented movable trenches
These are in sections, about the
width OF an ordinary trench, con
structed of pine boards, with high
parapet on the forward side over
which the grenade must be thrown
