Yankee soldiers in France dur

time in impressing the enemy with
their deadly skill as bayonet fight
ers. The sight of advancing Amer
leans with fixed bayonets caused
many a German TO throw down his
weapons and cry "Kamerad." The
bayonet is still a major offensive
weapon and Is carried by all COM
bat troops. The bayonet costs IS
