The grease or oil seems to help
both by waterproofng the skin
against infected slush and by max
ing the filth slip off more easily
when washed
Another great help is giving the
men opportunity to change their
"stunce" and stamp their feet or
march or shOg back and forth wher-
ever possible
The same methods applied 10 the
trench feet in the Italian army pro-
duced an almost complete cleanup
of the condition.
Now that trench warfare has been
reduced TO a science, new entrench-
ments are dug and planned with
special reference to drainage as we'll
as defense. Rain and earth mixed
together make mud, but they have
to be churned and kneaded into each
other for some time to develop any
considerable degree Of either depth
or gumminess. If anything like a
reasonable slope for drainage of rain
and storm water can be provided.
even the clayiest and stickiest of
soils VIII shed" two-thirds TO three
fourths Of the watch that falls on it
before 1t has time to be kneaded into
paste. So that with scrupulous
cleanliness, loose, warm, foot and
leg wear. exercise, and reasonably
drained and grated trenches. the
soldier who now enters the line of
battle need have little fear Of serious
trouble from trench foot.
