AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR
TERS, France, Nov. 5—As a matter
of fact no one hates the poor old blob
stick. It's the character of the thing
that makes Sammy fling himself for
jward with fierce yells and savage
jabs with his gleaming bayonet.
The blob stick is the symbol of
Kaiserism and is used in instructing
Sammy in the art of savage bayonet
ing. A pole about seven feet long,
with a wire ring of one end of it and
the blob on the other—that’s a blob
stick. The blob is a simple knob of
wadding, tied up with a burlap cov
er. Sammy caught the Idea after one
demonstration by a British sergeant.
He savvied right off the bat that the
blob stick is his enemy. He must jab
that blob with his own blade, or poke
the bayonet through the wire ring or
the German will kill him.
“Don't retreat an Inch. You kill
bim and keep on going to the next
Boche you meet—or you get killed,
Jn a hurry,” yelled a British non-com
instructor to to-day's bayonet class.
"Don't poke to hard or the blade will
get stuck In the blighter and one of
bis pals will stab you while you are
trying to get it out. “The English
man took up a blob stick and rushed
at Sammy. Instantly the American
lad's bayonet shot out and skewered
the blob. "Dead Frit*,” said Sammy.
Then the Britisher lined up his class
(MW4 more. At the command “Go'
they dashed off down a ravine where
three lines of German dummies hung
suspended from three gallows. Bay
onets flashed In and out of the straw
Germans and the khaki ^wave passed
on, leaping into a trench line. Duck
ing behind the parapet they leveled
their rifles at a long row of tin cans
perched on stakes, twenty yards away
for which each man had five shots
to down the cans which was suppos
✓
ed to be the heart of a Boche. Four
cans remained standing out of sixty
five, when the fusilade was over.
"That's good,” the Britisher compli
mented.” “Sixty Boches dead you see."

SUPPRESSED FRENCH PAPER
FINOS WAY TO FRONT
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Nov. 5—The suppressed
evening paper, the Bonnet Rouge, ap
pears to have succeeded in deceiving
the censor during a period of many
months by publishing two final edi
tions, one with the suppressions or
dered by the censor duly made and
another containing the prohibited
articles or passages. This complete
edition, a witness averred before the
examining magistrate, was secretly
forwarded to the front in great num
bers and distributed among the sol
diers in the trenches.

the condemned articles signed “M.
Hadin'’ were written by Duval, one of
the. directors of the paper who was
under arrest for “intelligence with the
enemy”—the man who is accused of
having received more than “500,000
francs from the German Marx of
Mannheim during the year nineteen
sixteen.
PHONOGRAPH PROOVE8POPULAR
CHINE8E QUARTER OF EL PASO
(By the Associated Press)
EL PASO. Texas, Nor. 5—The
phonograph has proved most popular
with the Chinese of the local China
town and many machines playing the
Chinese records may be heard each
evening down the Oregon streets. The
phonograph has proved to be a con
nectlng link between old China and
new America, when the laundries and
green grocery stores of the Chinese
quarter close for the night the Orien
tals gather in the stores having these
phonographs and listen to the wierd
wailing of the Chinese operas.
