and the speaker. addressing the
Wednesday morning session Of the
-. Joseph County Teachers inst-
tute. added that such brutality is
necessitated by the cruel and treach-
erous practices Of the hostile
Huns
For instance. there were lying in
No Mans land a dying Tommy, with
half of mis- face torn away. and
German officer who had been
wounded by shrapneI in the leg So
badly that it hung bleeding 10y

generous manhood ne indicated
that the enemy's injury should be
examined first After treating him,
the Young medic again turned 10

turned his back than the Hun

That Is me reason our boys i'm
the trenches are given such siren
uous practice Inn handling cold steel
for il is known that nothing So
completely terrifes the German as
the sight of a hxed bayonet Mr..
Lindsey spoke on the training the
men received AT Camp Pike. just
eight miles from Arkansas i'm the
foot of the ozark mountains. and
said that the wonderful results oh
tanned there account for the eff
cheney OF our soldiers abroad
We are not surprised that the

are only as ten 20 one for the Won
derful craftsmanship Of our men in
the camps enables them 10 90 just
what we expect them TO do over
there There is no need 10 worry
over the outcome Of the war as
long as such wonderful results are
achieved"
The camps in this country are
planned in exactly the same man
uer as are the military environments
broad. and even the trenches are
laid out in duplicate forms so that

dusouts which extend 90 or go

feet high and seven feet wide
Bunks made Of timber posts

dueouts. which often are so filled
with water that the soldiers are
compelled 10 retire without removing
their boots a process which usually
sends a shower Of mud and water

There is also a trench Of approx
from the dusout 10 some point back
of the frst line. A precaution i'm
vented 10 prevent the men from be
