ern bayonet instruction was made part

brink on which you are standing, but
you are not prepared for it. People
have raved, cried, been stricken dumb
when first they saw it. Where else
is there such a sublime arena of
mountain forms? Describe it? Those
who have seen it leave that to those
who never stood on its brink or re-
ioiced in the color that floods its sky
and earth.
The Canyon can be visited summer
and winter. It can be reached by au-
tomobile from Flagstaff, or one can
go by train. There are several hotels,
from the moderate priced to the more
luxurious. Those who wish to rough
it can find quarters in tents, the lat
ter, however, being used only during
the summer months.
The Hopi House
Near the hotels is the Hopi House,
reproduction of the dwellings of
the Hopi Indians. When you tire
of the Canyon or rather when you
feel the awesomeness of the Canyon
too keenly it is a relief to turn to
trivial things and so one loiters through
the Hopi House, looks at the collec-
ton of Indian handicraft, watch the
women weave baskets and the pottery
makers at their tasks. Usually, the
Navahoes are making blankets and
many travellers see the silversmith
hammer bracelet into shape and
later buy it for a souvenir.

place, though entirely different in
character. Perched on a ledge of

Suddenly he poked 1t about an inch
short of the Marines chin. The young
ster jumped back six feet.
You see, there's a difference in the
feel of it," laughed the Canadian.
Another advantage is that all it takes
in the neck is a couple of inches, and
the point comes out easily. Stick a
man in the stomach and it takes all
your strength to pull free, and you
have to use your foot, too.
Never cant your rifle. If you don't
pull it out at the same angle that 1t
went in, you're done for. You can't
believe, until you have felt it, what
great resistance a body offers to the
extraction of a bayonet."
After hearing a few eyewitness
stories of the treachery of the Ger
mans, the Importance of doing them
in" is impressed on the students and
they go at the advanced instruction
with deadly determination.
Forms OF Bayonet Drill
Bayonet instruction at Quantico is
in four distinct forms. One is a modi
f1cation of the old bayonet exercise
to which have been added some new
British movements. 1t limbers up the
| Marine, and accustoms him to swing
ing rifle and holding it properly
Another IS against stuffed dummies
giving the Marines experience in max
ing thrusts into an opponent. A THIRD
employs animated dummies, which
makes the student use defensive a!
we'll as offensive tactics. The fourth
is mimic bayonet duels between living
opponents.
The second and third bayone
drills, against dummies, are used il
trench practice. Members of the
enemy" are strung on scaffoldine
about seventy-five yards beyond thu
Marines trenches, and in front of op
posing trenches, where more dummie
lie in wait. At command the Marine

developed a purpose far beyond its
quite recent function as merely form
of physical exercise. The pretty evo-
lutions that used to be part of the
infantry's fancy and spectacular bay
onet drill" are forgotten, and the bay
onet, no longer an ornament, has be-
come an ever-useful and super-deadly
weapon,
Know How, Or Get Killed
THE hardest job in camp" is what
the young Marines at Paris Island
call the bayonet training there. They
get introduced to it when they are
about four weeks out of civilian life.
IF you don't know, you get killed,
is the cheerful slogan that is i'm
pressed on the minds of the recruits,
orally and by placards conspicuously
displayed.
It does not take the recruits long to
see that this is indeed serious as well
as strenuous business, and the spirit
of the bayonet" is quickly assimilated
Long and short thrust, high and low
parry, butt strokes and the various
other positions in advance are taught
the Marines, and this is followed by
charging and jumping in and out o!
trenches with fixed bayonets.
With the Astounding energy and
strength that Marine Corps training
induces, the devil dogs catch the

ipulated by another man The assail-
ant tries to stick the dummy without
being touched by the padded pole.
The dummy operators become very
skillful, and the work is strenuous
and exciting.
Practice duels are fought with rifles
with rubber bayonets. The Marines
wear heavy masks and gauntlets and
padded clothing. They need all this
protection, too. For bayonet fighting,
even with rubber points and between
friends, is a rough mix-up. Charging
each other from a distance of some
forty yards, the Marines go to it, and
some lively fights results.
Final Touches In France
In bayonet lighting as in other
forms or warfare, what is new today
is out of date month hence. When
/ the Marines get to France they are
brought right up to the minute with
the very latest stunts. Here, too,
British instructors are on the job in
the Marine Corps camps, bringing
fresh from the trenches and No Mans
Land the tactics that are being con-
stantly worked out in actual fighting.
The effectiveness of this final in.
struction has been proved well enough
in dispatches telling how the new Ma
rines took their baptism of fire. With
the advantage of the training that
they have had from seasoned, expert
enced warrior instructors, the young
sters have gone in like veterans. And
like veterans they have fought from

knack of adding to their hand and
foot work the terrifying war cry of
the Marine on destruction bent. This
yelling, the officers from over there
tell us, is essential in putting fear into
the heart of the Hun. Bayonet train
ing continues from now on. If Ma
rine is selected for the school for nom
commissioned officers, he gets it every
day, and is brought to the point where
he can qualify as a bayonet instructor.
At Quantico, where Marines selected
for overseas duty are transferred after
completing their recruit training,
fresh inspiration comes from bayonet
instructors who have handled bayo-
nets with blood on them.
