HOW HUNS BATTLE
MINUS THE SWORD
Germans Enforce Uniformity
in Order to Avoid Loss
of Leaders.
BY OSWALD F.. SCHUETTE.
Written for The Evening Star and the
Chicago Daily News

"Ftghting like demons" has a new
significance in this great battle. For
the millions who are in the front lines
of that fearful struggle are wearing
gas masks as they fight. With their
giant eye lenses and their snootlike
breathing apparatus these masks make
the soldiers look like the ogres of our
fairy tale days.
Until assaulting troops go "over the
top" into no mans land this is war
of invisible armies, with men shooting
at all but invisible targets and cannon
hurting shells ten or f1fteen-or seven
ty-f1ye-miles at objects they cannot
see. Trench warfare has little of the
thrill of the old days Of fiuttering
flags and gorgeous uniforms.
"Quiet on the front" means whole
lot more than silence. In fact, actual
silence, unmarked by rifle or artillery
fire would be so ominous that it would
at once arouse apprehension. Instead,
there is a sporadic sputter of rifles by
the men who are on actual trench
duty. Often this is based on certain
definite number of shots each must fire
in his assigned three or four hours OF
duty. He is supposed to fire these at
actual human targets as far as posi-

himself he must fire at portfolios In

many civilians and soldiers past the
point of average mind-power and an in
crease in mental detectives is looked for
from that source. Several schools of
thought are attempting to point out the
manner in which a comprehensive state
program should be formulated to deal
with the problem 1t is probable that
there will be criticism Of any scheme
evolved--and the legislature will be
called on to solve the problem. And
there is the blue sky situation, which
apparently reflects a very widespread
public demand for the enactment of leg

bogus stock deals. Thousands of dol
