"Keep 'em worried; don't let 'em get ret," he would fay. Arriving in the line he would place his troops and then make a thorough inspection of, every post and . slieiig point. He would size up all the reset ve stocks of ammunition arid 'sup plies. If anything was wrong Colonel Orifiths found it out by his own inspec tion. Shoot It At 'Em. "What's all thist" he would ask Stnkes-guuncr, pointing to a big reserve pile of ammunition, "That's just n reserve, sir," the gun ner would say.
