' With The American Army in France.
Dec. 9.-Hy IN" Associated Press.--rhe
graduation exercises of the large
bayonet school today were witnessed
by several generals ana their staffs.
The men who had been trained In the
British system by British Instructors,
gave a demonstration OF energy, speed
and accuracy which was truly Ameri-

the top.
The scene of the graduation was in
a broad. grassy valley. with high hills
walling all the sides. A British ser
geant ma jor. i'm charge of the actual
instruction. put the men through the
bayonet drill SO vigorously that more
than one man was hurt. But then
wounds were not serious.
Even more vigor was shown by tht
men as they occupied the trench line
and. witt. their officers, went over th'
top in Il charge, meeting dummy Ger
mans ON the way and finally occupy
ing the enemy trench.
Anticipate Every Command.
The men went furionsly at th'
charge. urged on by the most emphatic
language that Il British sergeant majo
might be credited with having at hi
