MAN.CAT('HING TRAP LATEST
Hun BARBARJTY

The latest German barbarity con-
sists OF a maD-trap. similar to
bear-trap. discovered in No Mans
Land by Corporal Leonard Manser
and Sergeant Victor l.. Lapaul. I'm
tied States engineers.
Corporal Manser after bringing in
the trophy to the trenches, told how
he came to discover it, He said:
I'VE were in the trenches on the
night Of May "a, when Sergeant Va
paul and myself decided to 20 on a
scouting party. We kept carefully
over the top, making our way
through the barb-wire entangle-
ments and into one shell hole after
another. keeping out of sight of the
Germans as they were sending up
their star shells to light No Mans
Land. 1t was as light as day in the
glare Of the star shells.
After we got half way across No
Mans Land my cane was jerked from
my hand. Advancing a few steps
stumbled on the trap which had been
released by the pressure of the cane.
On examination found the trap set
to catch scouts. | lOosened the
chain and brought the trap to our
trenches. The contrivance is three
feet long and has jews IS inches
wide with teeth two inches long. 1t
is designed to give the victim great
pain and make him call for help.
This attracts his comrades who be-
come targets for "A German machine
guns fusillade. which results in the
annihilation of the entire party.
THE trap is in the Paris Y. NJ. c.
A., where it has been examined by
a number of Americans who were
astonished by the horror of the de-
vice 1t will be shipped to America
