THE "TUMP LINE"
Canadian Soldiers Take a Hint From
The Red indians.

Reuters Agency learns that the
Canadians have introduced into the
army a new method OF carrying loads,
known as the tump-line. II Is based
on simple principles used for genera
tions by North American Indians. BY
it's use zone man Is able to carry the
ordinary load of two men for greater
distance over slippery, devastated
ground. and with less fatigue than a
soldier can carry his own ordinary
load, while IL enables troops to shift
back on march and greatly increase
their marching capacity
The tump-line. made OF leather. has
three component parts-the browband
y inches long by about 3 inches wide
in the center, and tapering to about
one inch at each end. and two straps
each or more feet long sewed to the
ends. The browband Is passed over
the head just above the brow and the
load rests high up on the back. The
Jumper walks slightly bent forward
and can steady the load by holding the
straps about the level Of the ears. The
training Of the man is very simple. nc
previous experience being required
Trump line companies have been FORM
ed in connection with each Canadian
brigade.
