TACK IN SOUP; ASKS $4,000
X-Ray Photograph Shows Iron Frag-
ment In Digestive Tract Of
New York Man.

New York.-An X-ray photograph
was fled in the Supreme court show
ing that Morris d. Splitter is carrying
large tack. about three-quarters Of
an inch long, inside him. The tack is
Embedded in his digestive tract, near
the center of his body.
Splitter blames some vegetable soup
which he bought In a restaurant at ~
East Fourteenth street on December
28, 1915, for the intrusion Of the tack.
He says he picked up several Of the
tacks while eating his soup, and swal-
lowing one before he realized 1t. An
other he picked out of his mouth.
The tack-swallowing incident Is the
basis Of a $4,000 damage action
against the restaurant company. The
restaurant company denies 1t was
guilty Of negligence.

as to the Next object Of

London.-The trench raid, one Oh
the developments Of the European war
hs the subject of an official interview
with a British officer, which has been
approved by the British press bureau
The narrative of this officer Is Of
particular interest at this time when
the Americans are soon to go into the
trenches to be called upon to carry
out, among other things, just such
raids as are here described.
The trench raid Is made for the
purpose Of shaking the eneny's NOR
ale, inflicting losses upon his person.
mel and destruction upon his works,
and capturing prisoners and docu-
ments that may reveal his condition
and intentions. Carried out chiefly ut
night, at frequent intervals and at
many places, it exercises direst effect
upon the enemy's nerves. Since 1915
its constant practice has been the pol
icy of the British command. Cap
tured German letters bear ample wit
ness to its efficacy We will attempt
to sketch a simple form Of such a
raid.
For some days previously the field
artillery has been methodically cut
ting lanes through the enemy'g wire at
many points. An attack may or may
not be pushed through these lanes.
The enemy cannot be sure. In any
case he cannot decide which Of the
points of passage will be used. Pune
tually at zero hour the artillery hurls
a barrage on the enemy's support and
reserve trenches, while an inferno Of
explosions breaks out all along the
aine Of trench to be assaulted-the
bombardment of Stokes mortar and
trench howitzer batteries posted In or
near our front line. Under cover of
this bombardment the raldlng force
rushes the intervening space.
