,SOLDLERLLFE ATCAMP
SEWER, GREENVILLE
A WILLIAMSBURG SOLDIER GIVES EXHAUSTIVE
ACCOUNT OF THE MAKING OF TRENCHES
AND THE PLAN OF WARFARE.

trenches are the same, occupied by
the reserves. All these trenches have
dugouts to protect the men from
shellfre. The fifth line trench is
used for hospitals, kitchens and off,
GERS quarters.
All these trenches run parallel
with each other and are numbered
l, 2, 3, q, 5, from front to rear. The
communicating trenches run from l
to 5,beginning on the right, and are
numbered alphabetically. A,B.C,D,E.
They are dug just about as a rail
fence runs. Four of these trenches
are used for carrying ammunition.
food and reserves to the front line
the other for communicating to the
rear. 1t is six feet wide and used
for carrying dead and wounded men
from the front.
In the front line trench are twelve
wards to each sector, which are pro-
tected from the rear by artillery.
Before making a charge the artillery
will begin bomharding the enemy
trenches for about twenty.four
hours, and before the charge each
platoon leader must set his watch
with the commander of the artillery
and at a given time and upon the
very second the artillery will begin
a barrage fire, each gun dropping
shells in front of it's sector about
fifty yards, and at the very second
agreed upon, the platoon leaders will
take their men fifty yards and halt
for one minute. In the meantime
the artillery has elevated its sights
to drop the shells fifty yards farther
on. When the one minute is up the
platoon leaders will advance fifty
yards further and again the artillery
fire is raised fifty yards. and so on
until the enemy trenches are reach
ed. This is also called the curtain of
fire. The enemy cannot see the men
advancing, and it is also done to ex-
plode any mine that the enemy may
have planted.
When the enemy trenches are
reached the artillery lifts its fire and
drops shells behind the trenches to
keep reserves from coming up. In
each platoon there areseveral bomb
ers, or grenadiers. They throw gre
nades into each sector of the enemy
trenches, and the first wave passes
over this trench and goes on to the
next, and on if possible. This first
wave is followed by several others,
the last.named being called the
moopers up." They go into the
trenches and use the bayonet on any
that are not dead.
Later on, | shall write something
about trench warfare.
| have been asked by the boys
from Kingstree to thank the kind
members of the Service League for
nice packages sent US at Christmas.
1t is impossible to adequately ex-
press our gratitude.

FoCH AND GRANT

From the New York Herald.
 The orders issued from time to time by Marshal Foch since he assumed by general consent the sole command of the land forces of the allies and so won the greatest victory ever known in the history of war have a special interest for all Americans because they suggest an American precedent or parallel. The style of this French soldier the great est that his country has produced, sus- gests, even in translation, that of Ulysses $. Grant, who. always expressed himself without the waste of single word and never killed a noun by means of an ad- jeotive.
 Marshal Foch, as General Grant did, believes that words should be used to express thought, not to hide it. Our generalissinos intimation to Germany was as plain. as comprehensive. as ulti- mate and decisive as the unconditional surrender message of Grant, which will ever be associated with the operationt that resulted in the preservation of the American union
 Let us all return humble and hearty thanks for the military armstice which we have obtained. It might have been a diplomatic or a political one, the terms of which nobody but hair-splitttng cas- uist could understand.

Lets Have, a High
 Record Drive Today

11 HE united war work campaign IS
 u drawing to a close It ends Monday, but with an intensive drive today Jefferson county should be able to round out its quota by noon.
 The promise of large achievement in Birmingham is bright, but over- confidence must be avoided. Generous contributions have been made. Our people have responded in great num-
 bers, but many have waited until the
 eleventh hour, not that they were in anywise reluctant or ,unappreciatlve of the cause for which the money IS being raised, but they wanted time tc consider how much they would give Everybody must contribute some thing. If you cannot give $1OO, or $50, Tor even $25, make $10 donation Every dollar will count. q Birmingham has never. yet failed to meet expectations where patriotism or philanthropy was concerned. There must be no thought of failing now.
