Of the star shell is ~ Very light. , Very lights are used to prevent night surprise attacks on the trenches If a star shell falls in front of you, you are safe from detection, as the enemy can not see through the bright curtain of light. But if it falls behind you and, as Tommy says. you get into the star shell zone,' then the fun begins; you have to lie hat on your stomach and remain absolutely motionless until the light of the shell dies out This takes anywhere from forty to seventy seconds. If you haven't time to fall to the ground you must remain absolutely still in whatever position you were in when the light exploded: it is advisable not to breathe, as Fritz has an eye like. an eagle when he thinks you are knocking at his door. When a star shell is burning in Tommy's rear he can hold his breath for a week. You biacken your face and hands so
 that the light from thes star shells will not reflect on your pale face in a trench raid there is quite sufficient
 reason for your face to pale. If you

It is about two feet long, thin at one end and very thick at the other. The thick end Is studded with sharp steel spikes. while through the center of the club there is nine-irrch lead bar, to give it weight and balance. When you get a prisoner all you have to do Is just stick this club up in front of him, and, believe me, the prisoners patiotism for Deutschland ueber A1les fades away and he very willingly obeys the orders of his captor.
