TRENCH WARFARE
By Vincent O'Loughlin

any great extent until this present
World Conflict. Napoleon was the
one to start this trench fighting. In
the famous battle Of Waterloo the
trench fighting was first used.
The large guns of the warning ma
tions of today make it necessary to
fight in trenches so as to save the
loss of life as much as possible. The
trenches are dug by steam tractors
There are number of these trench
es so in case the opposing side is get
ing the better of it, they can fall back
on the other trenches. Experience in
this war has taught that the most
important thing in the selection of a
trench position is in the extent that
they may be hidden from the enemies
artillery.
Thus engineers might yeras ago
select hill top as a position for a
trench, the line commanding the lead
ing sloop to the hill below. After the
experience of this great war they
would place it behind the summit.
A fifty yard space is covered with
wire entanglements charged with
electricity (when power is avai!able)
so as to delay the attacking party.
Deep narrow trenches with t,averses
are used to restrict the area of dam
age from the bursting shells in the
trenches and to protect the soldiers
from direct fire. Great care is taken
not to have the trenches constructed
in so soft ground that constant fir
ing will not cave in the trench sides.
The troops are stationed in small
subsidiary trenches in front Of the
principal trench with which the others
are connected by narrow passages.
The little advance trenches are con-
cealed to perfection, and the troops
shelter these trenches so Germans
cannot tell whether they are occupied
or not. They shell what they think
is sufficient but often times this does
very little damage because of metal
sheets for covering the trenches.
AS a rule the soldiers are divided
into a day and night shift. The
trenches the Americans are fighting
in now are about five and half feet
deep. Most of the trenches are modern
! in every way. In the rear trench there
is a rest room.
The front trench is made in zig
gag fashion. Tunnels are dug from
the rear so in case Of need they can
be rushed quickly to the battle front
The French method is to have the
enemy's trench stormed by artillery
and aeroplanes. Then they send the
bas bombs and smoke bombs so the
Germans cannot see the attacking
party.
Then comes the crisis of trench
warfare when a man shows he is a
man. The bayonets are as long as
eighteen inches and as sharp as a
razor. Many lives have been lost by
these attacking parties because the
danger they take in crossing No.
Mans land is full of perils.
The first seventy-five are almost
sur eto meet death because they are
out in the open and form good tar
get for heavy artillery but the ythrow
their hand grenades and make room
for their comrades who are follow
ing.
In the trenches where they grind
constantly day in and day out the
soldiers always find time to get
amusement and the dull hours Of
night are broken by the music of thcit
voices.

Glasgow Carries Game by One Point
Last Saturday evening, the people
of Williston witnessed the fastest and
most exciting basket ball game play
ed here this season. The game was
played between the strong Glasgow
five and the Williston team. The
Glasgow men seemed more like COL
lege team than high school team.
One very seldom sees high school
team composed of men with such
stature, practically all Of them meas
uring six feet or over, with cor
responding weight. Glasgow with
out doubt is one of the strongest
teams in Montana and will reckon
strongly for the championship. Never
the-less the Williston team showed
what they were composed of.
In the first half Williston played
rather loose game, their defense
not being strong enough. The visit
ing team was especially strong on
teamwork, but good guarding and
fast playing on the part Of the Will
liston team overcame this some
what. The first half ended with the
score of 1910, in favor of the Wis
| itors
Gordon of the Williston team was
substituted in the second half who
put on an exhibition of real guard
ing. With Kulas and Gordon at their
positions did such effective work that
the score was raised six points above
that of the visitors. A change was
made in the Glasgow team in the last
five minutes of play and the Willis
ton men were unable to stop the
rush, till within the last minute of
play the score tied, 1929. During
this moment of high excitement, the
referee, who was the Coach of the
visiting team, made a decision favor
ing his team and securing the one
point necessary to win the game.
The attendance at this game was
excellent, being the largest turnout
for any game this season. The high
school rooters were under the able
leadership of Allen Keltner, and the
roar and excitement reached a point
toward the close of the game when
everyone jumped to their feet, but
were silenced when they heard the
score Of 30-29, in favor of the WIS.,

Drafted Workers

If the Woman Citizens League of
Queens has it's way there will be no more
dlers in this state during war times. Fol
lowing the example Of Maryland, where
legislation was recently passed empower
ing the authorities to put to work those
without a regular occupation, this organi-
zation has prepared bill for presentation
at Albany which would authorize the Gov
ernor to draft any able-bodied man be-
tween eighteen and fifty not regularly or
continuously employed This would include
not only the vagrant, the habitually uner-
ployed individual, but the wealthy man
living on his own income or some other
PERSONS. Students, apprentices at trades
or professions and those engaged in sea-
sonal pursuits would be exempted.
All others, according to the terms Of
this measure, must register, under penal
ties duly prescribed for noncompliance.
Those registered might be assigned by the
Governor to work for the state or for
private employers for period not longer
than SIX months at any one time, due re-
gard being given to their physical ability
tc perform the kind of work assigned to
them. For such labor they would be paid
by the state or the private employers the
current market rates paid to volunteer
workers. Private employers would be
bonded; if they failed to pay their drafted
workers the pay would be Forthcoming
from the state, which would forfeit the
bond of the employer. Refusal to work
would be penali2ed the sheriffs, police and
other officials charged with enforcing the
laws would be required to arrest those who
failed to register

employers and jobless men, cooperating
with state and municipal employment bu-
reaus. The end of the Bowery bread line

Help the Y. w. G.. A.!

The work that the Y. W. c. A. is doing
for our soldiers and for our communities
is of very real Importance. The fifty
three hostess houses which it has placed in
camps in this country mean much to our
men and to their families and friends.
They afford the only places in camp whore
wives, mothers and friends can find head
quarters for meeting and visiting. The
problem Of emergency housing for girls
called to way work is of equal Importance.
The y. w. c. A. is providing housing and
recreation at points designated by the Fed
eral Commission on Training Camp Actv-
tiles. Abroad the organization is provid-
ing secretaries for the Red Cross huts for
nurses. Its other activities include lect-
ures on social morality.
1t is a relatively small sum that the Y
w c. A. aslls--$5 900 900 from the whole
country-of which 81 $50 .OO0 is allotted to
New York City. The point is that every
