TRENCHES IN WARFARE.
Tools tho Soldier* Use to Burrow Int*
the Ground,
Trenches are Imperative In laad war^
fare, and so consequently are tool* for
digging. Therefore every soldier car>
rles his own tools, with which bs can
throw up some sort of defense. If U Is
only six Inches of earth, and which can
be enlarged, if necessary, Into a rego
lar trench.
Curiously enough, the trenching tool
was the Invention of an American en
gineer, Brigadier General H. W. Ben
ham of the Army of the Potomac. It
was twenty-two inches long and weigh
ed a pound and a half, and it Is prac
tically this 8iime tool that is used to
day, although, of course, with modlfl
eations. The present model Is usually
lighter, the best design being that used
by the Austrinus. It is leas than twen
ty inches In length, the blade being
eight luubes long by six Inches wide,
one side having a cutting edge and
the other a saw edge. A tool of this
kind enn be used by the soldier while
lying down, and a few vigorous strokes
are enough to throw up some sort of
temporary protection, whlcb can easily
be enlarged If the position is to be
held. . •
Trenching drill is hated more than
anything else by the soldier In time ot
pence, but 'hat same soldier acquires
a positive love for his little spade after
he has once been under fire and so dis
covered for himself the saiotary qual
ities of a little mound of earth In front
of blm.
The soldier In a good trencn is aow
! lutely safe except from well aimed
shrapnel or from shells that happen to
burst in the trench Itself, which, of
course. Is a rare happening. Perhape
It Is worth noting that the advantages
of (he trench were discovered by Alex
ander the Great.—New York Post '
