Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Bobby Coon walked slowly down
the bank of the Laughing Brook to
the little fence with the little open
ing in 1t in which he knew trap
was hidden. Bobby was not at all
easy in his mind. He didn't know
about traps. If he had known more
about them than he did he would
have been less afraid. Looking
across the Laughing Brook he could
see a little brown form bounding
along the other bank in the MOON
light. 1t was Billy Mink. He knew
that Billy was not afraid and that
Billy was going to do on that side
of the Laughing Brook what he
himself had agreed to do on his side.
Bobby approached the little OPEN
ing in that fence. made OF sticks
and studied it carefully. Billy Mink
had said there was trap there, but
look as he would, Bobby couldn't see
a sign of one. Some wet, dead leaves
lay in the little opening in the
fence and nothing else was to be
seen. Billy Mink had said the trap
was under those leaves. Bobby Won
dered how Billy Mink knew. Billy
had told him that there was no
danger except right in that little
opening.
Very cautiously Bobby pulled
away the dead leaves that covered
the ground on his side of the little
fence in front OF the opening. He
even dug down into the sand a
little. Presently his fingers caught
on something hard. He pulled them
away as if they had been burned.
Nothing happened Curiosity gave
Bobby new courage. He dug away
very carefully the leaves and sand
at that particular spot and presently
he uncovered something shiny. Any
thing bright and shiny always in
terests Bobby Coon. Again he
touched it and snatched away his
paw. Nothing happened. Then
Bobby got hold of that shiny thing
and pulled ever so gently. The
leaves in the little opening in the
fence moved. Bobby pulled again
Those leaves moved some more. You
see, Bobby had hold Of the chain OF
that hidden trap.
Finding that there was nothing
dangerous about the chain, Bobby
continued TO pull and presently
there was the trap itself right In
front of him. He sat down and
studied it. He wondered how II
worked. He was afraid of 1t but
he was very, very curious. There

Bobby remembered that Billy Mink
had said that there would be nc

Very cautiously Bobby slipped 9
paw underneath. All of a sudden
that trap jumped right of the
ground. There had been wicked
sounding snap and those two jaws
few up and came together so swift
ly that Bobby didn't really see what
had happened. He had sprung the
trap
Bobby didn't wait to see what hao
happened or what was going tt

self in August, 1910, has had huge
success and groups more than 1,60o,-
900 members in the unoccupied zone.
The legion is banned in the occupied
zone.
In drawing up the bylaws of the
legion, Marshal Petain was in
f1uenced by the American Legion
with the sole exception that all
French legionnaires must have seen
active service.
Before the war France had several
veteran associations, each with a
different political creed, chiefly oc-
cupied with defense of their own
particular interests. The new legion
has two aims:
l. To defend Frances new regime
against all opposition.
2. To help in the regeneration"
Of France.
The grouping of all veterans Is q
symbol OF the past military glories
of France. That is why tomorrov's
ceremonies are so important for the

ticed many good points about
the attack-effective co-ordina-
ton, for the most part, and care
full planning.
Regimental Problem.
The day previous an altogether
different problem was given the
divisions two infantry brigades.
There were two separate ma
neuvers. In each, one regimental
combat team was pitted against
another. A regimental combat
team is organized, on a smaller
scale, like a brigade team.
The Rappahannock River twists
about the reservation like a care
lessly thrown ribbon. 1t was as
sumed that the 111th Infantry
had crossed the stream and held
a bridgehead, where an entire
division was expected to cross.
The 112th Infantry was sup
posed to take a position where
it could plant artillery calcu-
lated to destroy the bridgehead
and check the advance.
The regimental combat teams
moved under blackout conditions
in the night, taking up positions
In woods so dense the men could
only feel their way, with little
help from the pin-point lights
they were allowed. All night and
all the next day the two teams
maneuved about each other,
Circling like wary boxers, shifting
guns and men. capturing each
others patrols, feeling each other
out.
There was no decision from the
umpires. They didn't determine
which side had won. They merely
noted effective moves and defects
and compiled their notes.
Meanwhile the 109th and ITO
Infantry regiments were oppos-
ing each other in a very similar
problem, also involving a bridge
head at another point on the
river.
Afterward Gen. Martin said at

A. P. HILL MILITARY RES
ERVATION, Caroline County,
Va, Aug. 30.-A benign sun
sparkled over the thickly wooded
countryside. 1t was so quiet the
drone of bees could be heard.
The old. rutted dirt road was
empty and silent.
Then, without warning. a thick
ravine below the road cracked
with rifles. And then leaving the
road and climbing a knoll, along a
wagon trail, you discerned what
had been hidden cleverly a few
yards away-a machine gun nes-
tling in some foliage; beyond,
potent little mortar concealed in
leaf-strewn hollow was ready
for action. Looking more closely,
you deserted soldiers, their den
i'm uniforms merging with the
green thickets, lying about, their
rifles at ready, and officers. peer
ing with binocular from behind
trees.
Attackers Charge.
On the other side of the road,
more rifles spettered. The ma
chine gun on the knoll lifted its
staccato voice. Far across a
grass-thick, tree-dotted field
punches of men in brown cotton
could be seen, rushing forward,
dropping, rushing on.
A white cloud rolled along the
center of the tangled field-gas.
Masks clapped on. the men
pushed forward, through the
cloud.
All this, staged with grim
enough realism, was one phase of
a combat problem assigned the
55th Infantry Brigade of the 18th
Division, federalized National
Guardsmen from Pennsylvania.
The men on knoll, clad in den-
i'm to distinguish them from the
pretended enemy, were part of a
single invading infantry battalion
now defending itself against a
counter-attack. This force was
opposed by an augmented brigade
what is known in the new tables
of the organization as a brigade
combat team.
The attacking troops outnum-
bered the defenders overwhelm-
ingly. But that was all right. 1t
was an attack problem. The

fects he had noticed in these
maneuverS chiefly were failure to
bring up trucks promptly at
points where they were needed
and neglect in camouf1aging and
concealing them from planes. He
also pointed to inability of scouts
to get information back to intel
ligence officers in a number of in
stances. One scout was so mis-
guided as to let himself be cap
tured with a map on him-a
prize blunder in warfare.
Gen. Martin pointed. in ex-
tenuation, to the f1atness of the
wilderness covering so much of
the new reservation, which made
1t impossible to establish obsezva-

during the night, and was hidden
in dense woods awaiting the set
time.
The assault was made as
planned. The outlined defenders
were pushed back--far enough
to test the attackers. Then the
problem was over, and the regi-
ments and attached units went
back to their temporary tent
homes.
But what. the citizen on the
sidelines may well ask, is the
object of such a typical maneu-
yer? And how does any one de-
eide whether it succeeded or
failed2 And how does it help
train troops?
Faults Are Studied.
The primary object was to give
every man in the brigade COM
bat team, from general to pri-
Yates, test in combat practice
under conditions as nearly like
the actual as possible. They were
practicing how to advance with
out exposing themselves, how to
maintain contact among their
own units, to scout the enemy, to
do hundred things that good
soldiers do automatically.
AS to how well the brigade
did its jobs, the umpires took
many notes. Their reports will
be studied at division head
quarters for criticism and sug-
gestion. How well was the ar
tillery placed? Were mortars,
machine guns and other smaller
weapons disposed effectively?
Was there confusion in the ad-
vance, or did the scattered de-
tachments move with the pre-
cision of trained troops? Were
they exposed to murderous
enemy fire or we'll concealed?
Were vehicles camouf1aged and
hidden? Was the attack fast
or slow-was it likely to have
surprised a real enemy? These
and will be among the questions
pondered.
Meanwhile the division COM
mander, Gen. Martin, moving all
over the field of battle during
the problem, did some acute OBJ
serving. He found one battalion
exposed and one truck not
camouf1aged with leaves and
branches, and he promptly ex-
planned these defects to the Of

ton posts on hills, as the 28th
Division can do on its home
grounds at Indiantown Gap, Pa.
The 18th rolled into camp
Tuesday and will remain three
weeks. 1t will not, on this occa-
sion, maneuver against any other
division-though the A. P. Hill
Reservation is big enough to hold
an entire field army.
Maneuvering within itself, the
28th started, in general, with
small units, giving combat exer-
cises to squads, then platoons,
then companies, then regiments
and brigades.

lonesome battalion that spread
thinly over the heights on either
side of the road was supposed
only to outline" the force which
was being attacked.
The defenders went through
the motions of firing on the big
attacking army, of trying to hold
it back. But actually the men in
denim retired gradually, fighting
stubbornly, as they were instruct
ed to do. The idea of the ma
neuver was to see how well the
brigade combat team could carry
out an attack, how strong 1t ap-
peared to the umpires, what
weaknesses it uncovered.
All Elements of Army.
This infantry brigade, being a
combat team, had all the ele-
ments of a little army, capable
Of operating independently.
There were two infantry regi-
ments-the 109th and the 10th
q regiment of light artillery, one
battalion of heavy artillery with
155-mm. howitzers, company
OF engineers, medical battalion
consisting of one ambulance COM
pany, one collecting company
(to collect the wounded) and
one clearing station company,
the usual signal detachments
and special headquarters troops.
This was the problem given the
brigade by the commanding gen.
eral of the 28th Division, Maj.
Gen. Edward Martin:
1t was assumed that on the
night previous a strong enemy
force had moved in from the di-
rection of Richmond, occupying
a northwest corner of the huge
A. P. Hill Reservation, most of
Caroline County. Another de-
Tending brigade had been driven
back. 1t was up to the 55th
Brigade combat team to stop the
foe.
But the best way to stop the
enemy, division strategists de-
cided, was to take the offensive.
And so the brigade became an
attacking force. 1t was ordered
to push through wilderness in
an arrow line, far ahead of the
mythical invading army. The
object was to strike the enemy on
It's left flank, to turn the flank
and get in the rear of the in
vaders, rolling them back and
pushing them out of the reserva-
ton in a bold movement which
should throw them into rout.
First Point of Contact.
The scene at the knoll de-
scribed at the outset of this
story was the first point of con-
tact which the combat team.
moving swiftly and secretly
through the night, had made
with the enemy.
We war correspondents" saw
the attack prepared to the mi
nutest detail at field headquarters
which the brigade commander,
Brig. Gen. John Aiken, had set
up around an old well some dis
tance from the paved highway
that cuts through Caroline
County between Fredericksburg
and the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia.
The attack hour was IL am.
But long before that patrols,
motorized and afoot, had gone
out, Naturally observation planes,
these from the 103d Observation
Squadron, had found out where
the enemy was and what he was
doing. The patrols discovered
more intimate scouting details.
The main body, at least theoreti-
cally, had made its dipositions

sion will operate as a unit against

before breaking camp, the divi-
sion will be inspected exhaus-
