DEADLY FRENCH KNIFE ADDEE
TO THE EQUIPMENT

The hand-tO-hand character Of mod
ern trench warfare is sharply illus
t-ated in detailed tables of organiza-
ton for American overseas infantry
units, just made public by the war de-
rartment.
! Only a few years ago the wise men
of all armies pr1G;cted that because
of high-power long-range artillery
and rifles and automatic and machine
guns, troops would never come to act
ual grips. The complete reOrganiza-
ton of the whole infantry service out
lined in the new tables, however, is
based on the proven fact that the
battle will be decided by the foot sol
diers, fighting breast-tobreast with
bombs bayonets and knives.
Included in the equipment of Amer
lean soldiers which enter the trenches
are trench knives" one of the most
up to date developments of European
battlefields. In addition each infantry
division will have 416 machine guns.
Less than two years ago the Ameri
can army had not more than 1900 of
these weapons for its entire active
and reserve stock.
American troops will enter the
trenches equipped and organized in a
way in which no other army entering
the war has been able to provide. Ev-
cry lesson learned by the allies has
been adopted.
The tables published today fix IN
infantry platoon as the operating
unit. 1t will be composed of fifty
eight enlisted men under a lieuten-
ant. The OLD days of solid company
ranks of men, with rifles on their
shoulders and bayonets at their belts
are gone. In each platoon there will
be section of twenty-five bombers
and rifle grenadiers, two sections of
twenty-four rifiemen, all of them
trained marksmen, and the only sur
vival of the old infantrymen-and one
section of eleven auto-rif1emen, who
will andle the light machine guns or
the automatic shoulder rifles that may
be developed
This means that there will be four
light machine guns on the line for ev-
cry sixty men, backed by the regi-
mental and divisional machine gun
hattalions and companies armed with
the heavy water-c0oled weapons that
ale really the first line of defense in
trench warfare.
The l~e of trench knives sl.1pi1nts
the old rife and bayonet for forty
men in each company of $50. These
terrible weapons are long-keen knives
with heavy metal hits, worn strapped
to the left arm, and are made for use
in trench raids by men who cannot be
encountered with rifles and bayOnets
because of their special duties.
Each company of an infantry regi-
ment will have four of these typical
platoons, and each regiment will have
100 officers and 1862 men, one sec
ton of the headquarters company be-
