in the trenches, and the French
told us the Germans would be on
our necks. The English had gone
in with solemn faces, but you could
not get our boys to go in that way
They went in singing and laugh
ing. The only thing that worried
the American soldiers in the
trenches was the inactivity. Every
American boy over there was sorry
when the armistice was signed
All wanted just one more punch at
the Huns and that punch was to be
delivered this spring"

NOTHING LEFT TO CHANCE
Advance of American Divisions at San
Mihiel Had Been Planned With
Elaborate Care.

In modern warfare mans head is
his chief asset, writes Duke Bolivar in
Boys Life. You all know that the
St Mihiel salient, enconpassing 1872
square miles of territory and 73 vii.
lagos, was taken by the Americans
Did you know it was done by head
"ork? Elaborate plans were made in
advance and given out wholesale to
the troops. One hundred thousand
maps, covering minute details of the
country, including natural defenses.
and how it was manned by the enemy,
were distributed, plus 10000 photo
graphs. scattered among officers of the
artillery and infantry. Five thousand
miles of telephone wire and 5000 In
struments were employed. and this
elaborate system kept up with the adj.
vance of the army. By this service
fanking troops could telephone their
position back to the artillery. The tel
ephone business of a city of 100000
could have been handled by this equip
nent in whose operation 10000 men
were engaged. Thousands of carrier
pigeons aided the signal corps. Ex-
tensive hospital facilities. 1880 trucks,
miles of railroad, were provided for
this big military operation. and 10000
feet of movie film were exposed. so all
the soldiers had to do was to fight.
