29th DivisionM Men
Learn 10 Fight With
Bayoneted Rifles
Hund-to-Hund Combat
Still Survives in
Muchine-A Age Warfare
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,
Star Staff Correspondent

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
March 7.-Steel flashed in the SUM-
light across the frozen field. Voices
cracked over the frosty air, and
the steel shafts glinted in ominous
darts and arcs
Approaching, you saw lads IN
brown strung out at intervals, WELD
ing bayonets grimly
These men of the 29th Division
we're being taught to fight hand to
hand. with steel-barbed rifles, much
as their ancestors fought with sword,
pike and cutlass.
Long thrust" sang out an in
structor, and the bayonets were
hurtled forward at an imagined
foe
Must Learn Old Method.
Though armies of the blitz epoch
shell each other 20 miles away and
sometimes the only sight of an
enemy is a glimpse of bombers fly
ing past, the old hand-to-hand
fighting has not been dropped from
the military curriculum. Stone-age
battling is regarded as a resource
on which soldiers must rely in mop
ping up stubborn resistance.
These young National Guardsmen
from the District, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania were shown
also how to swing the butts of their
rifles in a tight spot.
Bayonet practice is carried out
these days with teams of two, one
man armed, the other Stimulating
the enemy and pointing to vital
places on his anatomy at which a
bayonet fighter should aim.
A class of the non-commiSsioned
officers school was taken from the
field to the post theater, where eight
reels of expert bayonet instruction
were unfurled.
You should aim at your op-
ponent's throat" said the hard
looking captain in the film. There

you are most likely to inflict fatal
wound. If not, aim at the chest
the abdomen or the groin, or, if his
back is turned, at the kidney"
The non-comS saw class &c
through a qualifying course. Each
man had so many dummies to
stick and so many to knock over
with the butt of his gun. Some
dummies were armed" and the
troops had to parry right or left
before thrusting.
The Sergeants and corporals were
wondering, as they left the theater,
whether war had changed much
The fine weather Of the last few
days was broken today by a return
of winter. Heavy snow forced most
of the division to 60 on an "in-
clement weather" schedule of in
door classes.
Col. John w. Oehmann, COM
manding the 121st Engineers, di-
rected the Washington regiment ir

done, these days, not with the curl
Gus neutral paints used in the last
war, but with covering of natural
substances, such as twigs, dead

engineers also practiced putting a
foot bridge across a stream.
Medical officers regarded the gen.
eral health of the camp as unusually
good today, despite the fact that 432

narration of events. It is possible
that Bach's intense feeling led him
by another road to the same artistic
destination that was reached by the
Greek dramatists.
COR it might be that Bach con-
sciouSly absorbed the influences,
first of the renaissance. later of the
reformation, and interwove these
influences into the structure of his
musical expression. This is possible
because the renaissance affected
music much later than painting,
sculpture, architecture and litera-
ture-and the reformation flowed
logically from the renaissance.
Aided by Chorus.
For the present occasion. the
Philadelphia Orchestra will have the
assistance of the chorus of the Yves
minister Choir College of Princeton
N. j., and soloists from that chorus.
Harold Hedgpeth will sing the tenor
recltatives of the Evangelist, and
John Baumgartner. bass. will SIM
the words of Jesus. Other solo
singers are: Lo Rean Hodapp,
soprano; Elizabeth Kruger, con-
tralto, and George Kruger, bass.
Two 40-voice choruses will be sup
ported by similarly divided or
chestra of strings, flutes and oboes.
Mr.. Stokowski has scored a number
of the chorals for brass which will
be played off-stage during inter-
mission. The work has necessarily
been curtailed to conform to the
normal time limits of a concert.

as found in the Gospel OF st.
Matthew, was written in 1929 and
first performed on Good Friday of
that year. at St. Thomas Church in
Leipzig. 1t was revived 100 years
later in q historic performance at
the Berlin Singakademie March II,
1929, by Mendelssohn, always an
ardent champion of Bach and that
masters music. This performance,
conducted by Mendelssohn when
only 20 years old, had tremendous
effect and led to other performances
both in England and Germany.
Stokowski's Service.
Mr.. Stokowski's long years of devo-
ton to the music of Bach have
been largely responsible for a
uuickening of interest in that COM
poser. A succession of orchestral
transcriptions, at first anonymous,
have been thrilling moments in
many a program. The Brandenburg
concertos and the orchestral suites
lost archaeological taints and were
vitalized by Mr.. Stokowski's fresh
approach and vigorous presentation.
Of the present work the conductor
has written: "Bachs st. Matthew
Passion stands high like a mountain
peak, even among his greatest crea-
tions. 1t is development and ex-
tension of the religious music which
preceded him. 1t has much the
same structure and character as
Greek dramatic slow, unfolding
tragic story-the sympathetic chorus
which enters into the inner thoughts
and feelings of the characters of
the story-and a similar rhythmic
