SANDBAG USED FOR EVERY
PURPOSE ON BATTLE FRONT
Brcastworks Only One of Manifold
Duties Performed BY Lowly
Cloth Sack.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE,
June 1.-The sandhag is one OF the
most useful pieces Of military
equipment found anywhere, and
the soldier puts it to manifold uses
Their official use of course, Is to
be filled with sand or clay and built
into ramparts, barricades and
trenches. Their unofficial uses are
legion.
The infaptryman always uses a
sandbag for carrying and storing
his rations. for patching and rein
forcing his clothing, for lining and
curtaining his dugout, for muffling
mallets and stakes when putting
up wire in No Mans land. They
make excellent gators, being tied on
over the puttees as a further pro
lection against mud and damp. They
make cosy mufflers in bad weather.
They are used 10 cover shrapnel
helmets to prevent reflection and
they are frequently in demand for
rifle covers.
Many soldiers always pull two
sandbaEs over their feet and legs
when going 10 bed in billets in 9TH
er words, the sandbag is Tommy's
paiamas. The warmth and comfort
OF a burlap sandbaE when pulled
over chilled feet is astonishing.
The postman's mail bag at the
front is nothing more than an empty
sandbag, and the water carriers also
use two sandbags, sluag back and
front over the shoulder. each CON
tanning a petrol tin full of water.
The war viii be over" a soldier
wit once said, when all Of Belgium
and France has been put into sand
bags"

EBERT-HAASE
CABINET IS.
/ LOSING FORCE
Newly Created Council of
Soldiers and Sailors is
Called on For Help.

Berlin, Friday. Dec. 27.-(By the
Associated Press. )-While the gov
eminent continues to deny the exist
ence of a crisis, developments appear
to be rapidly approaching the point
the Ebert-Haase cabinet will
no longer be able to assert it's au-
thority. The Vossische Zeitung says
that six men who sign for the govern
ment are no longer the government
and 1t calls upon the newly created
central council of soldiers and work
ers to u the responsibility.
The Tagleblatt declares it would be
fatal to pin hopes to the national as
sembly as a constituent body or as
n which could repair the damage
now threatening.
The Lokal Anzeiger believes that
the crux of the situation is to be
found in the struggle between indie
pendent Socialists and the S%partacus
group for control in order to prevent
the meeting of the national assembly.
1t points to the probability of a
repetition of the events of November
8 with the result that the radicals
might constitute a new government
dominated by Georg Ledenbour and
DR.. Karl 1iebknecht.
