DOUGHBOYS
CHERISH PICK
AND SHOVEL
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. 12.—Next to his rifle
the American infantryman in action
In France has learned to cherish his
pick and shovel above everything else
Hy experience he has learned that his
pick and shovel will save him from
Injury or death at times when his j
Other implements of war are useless
In tin’ thrust against the Germans
In July and August on certain days;
the Americans advanced so rapidly
that the infantrymen were on the go
hour after hour As their packs be
■ame heavier some left behind piece
hv piece parts of their equipment.
Even in some instances doughboys
tossed aside their mess kits, enter
gency rations, canteens and their coats i
hut until the last they clung to their
rifles and their picks and shovels and
went ahead to victory.
The pick and shovel are often j
brought into action in a hurry when !
It is necessary to dig in to escape j
fragments of gas shells or of shrapnel.
It often happens, as It did time and
again during the recent French and
American drive north of the Marne,
that the infantryman during an ad
vance is too far behind the enenr to
make use of his rifle and that when
the enemy's big guns are turned loose
his only defense is to dig a hole In
the field or along a roadway or wher
ever he may be and make this his
shelter until the attack is at an end
or until he is ordered elsewhere
When the American infantryman
landed in France, particularly those
who had not been taught the modern
methods of trench warfare before
leaving the States, amf was handed
a pick ami shovel to he included in
his fighting equipment hi' was aston
ished at first Rut the young man
was adept at learning, even with a
pick and shovel although many of
them at home had been elearks and
held similar positions, and now those
tools are the most highly prized of all.

The piledriver boys from Cordova,
who wore recently inducted into the

siderable time in the building of a
