TRENCH-BUILDING DESCRIBED
IN LECTURE BY COL LEADER
Best Location Is at Foot of HUI, Giving Chance for Horizontal Fire, Says
Speaker—Rats anil Pneumonia Must Be Fought
Giving a detailed description of the
trench system and their construction,
so accurate and dear that the layman
might construct an exact reproduction
of the trenches now in use in France
and Flanders, Colonel John Leader, com
mander and instructor of the University
battalion, held the attention of his 2
o’clock class in military science in Vil
lurd hall.
The 'average first-line trench, said
Colonel Leader, is five feet wide at the
top, four feet wide at the bottom, has
a parapet in front one foot high, and
is five and a half feet deep. A firing
step, upon which the men stand and
fir? over the parapet, is three and a
half feet from the ground level. The
trenches are so constructed as to have
bays, or firing pits, 16 feet long, into
each of which one squad is usually de
tailed. Between the bays, buttresses,
or traverses, as they are technically
known, are left, to protect the men in
the bays from flank or side fire.
Running back from the first line
trenches to the support trenches, which
are usually 30 yards in the rear, are
communication trenches four feet wide
and seven feet deep, extending in a zig
zag course.
Colonel Leader explained the con
struction and location of barbd-wire en
tanglements, listening posts, saps, first
aid stations, which are located between
the first trench and the support trench,
and dugouts. The dugouts where the
men rest between their hours in the
first trench, are built or dug in the
enemy side of the support U-each. One
third of the men in Prance, said the
speaker, either because of carelessness
or ignorance, baild their dugouts on
the side of the trench the farthest from
the enemy, and pitching shrapnel, com
ing over the top, drives right into the
dugouts.
The best place for a trench, accord
ing to Colonel Iveader, is where a good
field of fire can be best obtained, where
the fire can be horizontal, and where
concealment from artillery Ore can be
best effected. For these reasons, a
trench at the foot of a hill, from which
the fire can be directed away from the
hill, is better than one on top of the
hill, from wrhich the men could fire
down into the Gat space below. The
Tifle bullet will pierce sis bodies, and
five feet of earth. Hence the advan
tage of horizontal fire instead of pitch
ing fire.
The colonel gave this advice to the
men: “When you go into the trenches
be sure to take a piece of wire screen
with which to cover your food during
the times you are disturbed from eating,
to prevent the rats from getting at it.
Also take a piece of can. as. The can
vas you can use to make a hammock,
by hanging it from fonr stakes. This
bed, though not very comfortable, will
keep you clear of the mud and water,
and as a result, instead of dying the
first week of pneumonia, you will prob
ably be able to last about three months
before you die.”
SOME MEMPERS OF BAND
EAGER FOR REAL FIGHTING
Leader Says Blood-Thirtsy Ones Are in
Right Place to Aid in Military
Efficiency.
“I never saw such a bloodthirsty
hunch of fellows in ray life as some
of the members of the band,” said Col
onel John Leader yesterday- “Although
some of the fellows think they will no*
get the full benefits out of their mili
tary work unless they drill with the
squads every day, 1 will assure every
man who is undecided about the band,
that he will get as thorough training in
it as the fellows in the companies.
“The height of military efficiency can
not be attained unless a good band is
had, and the companies cannot come
under federal inspection until the band
is in good military condition.’’
lie explained to the band that if
they were out for blood, they were in
the right place for it, as in one of the
battles in which he took part, 80 per
cent of the band members were lost.
He further stated that his business here
was to develop men to become officers,
and that band experience would go a
long way towards helping a commission.
