PICK AND SHOVEL
SAME AS RIFLE
With the American Army in
France—Next to his rifle, the Amer
ican infantryman in action in France
has learned to cherish his pick and;
shovel above everything else. By!
experience he has learned that his I
pick and shovel will save him from
injury or death at times when his
other implements of war are useless.
On the thrust against the Germans
in July and August on certain days I
the Americans advanced so rapidly j
that the infantrymen were on the;
go hour after hour. As their packs I
became heavier some left behind
by piece part of their equipment.
Even in some instances doughboys
tossed aside their mess kits and
emergency rations and canteens and
their coats, but until the last they
clung to their rifles and their
picks and shovels and went ahead
to victory.
lne pick and snovei are oiten
brought into action in a hurry when
it is necessary to dig in to escape
fragments of gas shells or of shrap
'nel: It often happens, as it did
during the recent French-Ameriean
! drive north of the Marne, that the
infantryman, during an advance is
too far behind the enemy to make
use of his rifle and that when the
enemy’s guns are turned loose his
only defense is to dig a hole in the
field or along a roadway or where
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 modern
methods of trench warfare before
leaving the States, and was handed
a pick and shovel to be included in
his fighting equipment he was as
tonished at first. But the young
men were adept at learning, even
with a pick and shovel, although
many of them at home had been
clerks and held similar positions,
and now those tools are the most
highly prized of all.
If you have saved a slice a day.
eat cornbread and save a loaf.

SHELLS CAUSE
GREATEST FEAR
ON FIRING LINE
Somewhere In France.—“What i ^
does it feel like to be shelled or
bombed?" is a question which many i
people at home ask of American j
soldiers in their letters.
Bombing has one marked differ-!
ence from shell-fire. When a bomb i
has exploded, a soldier can be fairly j
sure that the worst is over, whereas !
when a shell explodes, the first!
shell presages many successors.!
Shells, like troubles, never come j
singly.
Few soldiers try to pretend that j
they like shelling or even that they j
are indifferent to it. Many of them j
admit that nothing makes them
more nervous than desultory shell
fire. They may try to appear apa
thetic—they generally light a cigar
ette—but it is altogether a poor
performance.
The absurd part of it is that the j
slightest cover makes the soldier j
quite himself again. It is the in
stinct of the ostrich. It is almost
humorous to see what shelters men
will run to if a shell comes their
way. Long grass even creates the
illusion of safety.
Many soldiers admit that they are
at their bravest when in bed. They
put their head under the blankets
and feel as safe as in a deep cellar.
Outside in the road they would feel,
quite unsafe, although actually there
is little to choose between the two
places.
So long as the boys are at the
front, difficulties are to be subdued,
impossibilities to be trampled down.
