The attack that resulted in the killing of three Americans, the wounding of five and capture of twelve more'is'believed at Washington to be the outcome of a sud den sally by selected “schock” troops. These “shockers” are a German specialty. A heavy barrage by German artillery off that protion of the trench system marked for invasion. The shells are placed about twenty fvet apart, making it certain death for any troops attempt ing to come to the relief of the isolated section. When the barrage is complete the Grman shock trops rush the trench. These shockers are poked athletes. They wear breast plates of heavy steel, hel mets that extend to the shoulders and the upper portions of their arms and legs are protected by sole leather. Each man carries attached to his waist two bags filled with grenades, two dag gers, a short rifle that can be used as a club and such other terrible weapons as the individual fancy may dictate. Some of the giants brandish clubs studded with nails. Others carry short double-edged axes. In a successful attack the shock troops leap into the trench, hurtling grenades as they run and using daggers, rifles and other weapons with fury. Their plan usually is to drive the defenders of the trench close to the barrage and compel them to surrender. The allies are perfecting a system of shock attack and defense and American athletes are expected to make themselves felt in this new fierce hand-to-hand war fare. , POSfOFFjcTHINTS Perishable or fragile matter should be packed in strong con tainers (not ordinary pasteboard boxes, as such matter is subjected to tough handling on railroads.
