Next to his rifle, every soldier at the front values rnost of all his in- trenching tool, which consists of a smal1 wooden handie flot quite two Eeet long and a detachabie iron cross- piece with a pick at one end and a sharp, narrow spade nt the other. Men dling to their intrenching tools when they have had to discard nearly every other article of equipment. A mnan without an Intrenching tool f ecîs that he is of rather iess value as a Boldier than if he had no uniform. Without this littie pick and spade he must lie out in the open after an ad- vance instead of gcraping for himself a littie mound for cover. When there is any ruovement irn the lines niost of the intrenching work is clone with these littie tools. It is only when a position bas been solidly won and is to be occupied more or iess per- manently that large picks are brought Up and put into use. The infantryman nceds no urging to dig. It becomes the rnerest instinct to realize that his 111e depends on pro- viding himself with proper cover. And this instinct is strong enough to con- quer even the overpowering desire for sieep wb.ich cornes at the close of a long day's hard fighting, and which at nightfali often makes even the consumption of f ood seem superfluous. Frequently the tired infantryman, af- ter 10 or 12 hours of fightlng, must strugglo from dusk to rnldnlght with his intrenching tools; not till his co- ver le snug and sound does the soi- dier dars to curi hiniseif up in his pit and take the coveted 40 winks in pre- paration for bis counter-attack, which 18 aimoat certain to corne before dusk. A soldier's letter tells about a Bri- tish reginient that boasted they did flot dig. "It was a very gailant regi- ment," he writes, "with a large share i the battis honors of Britain'a past wars. - They had charged at Bala. clava; they had fought in every cor- ner of the globe. But they had not been tqught to dig; it was beneath thein. They were nominally a cavairy regimont, wlth a cavalry regi ment's foolieh ideas of caste.
