The Song That the Machine Gun Sings
By Regt. Sgt.-Major Ron aid Phillips Barnum.
The following verses, “The Song of
the Machine Gun,” is the impression
that the great Machine Gun Training
(’enter at Camp Hancock h. s made
upon the mind of one of the camp’s
most gifted poets, Ronald Phillips
Barnum.
The Song of the Machine Gun.
Come, list to the song of the gun;
Come, hear the tale of death.
My voice is like to the roll of the
drum,
But the fire of hell is my breath,
And the song that I hum
Is the song of death.
I’m the spider that lurks on the sand
neath the sun
In the web of life as I spin it.
Thousands must fall ere the web be
spun;
Thousands must die ere my work shall
be done;
They must and they shall—there’s a
fight to be won —
There's a fight to be won—and I’ll
win it!
For the fire of hell is my breath,
And the song that I sing is death.
The foemen come, but the foemen ;
stop.
I speak and I see them crumple and
drop
As withered leaves from the wind
swept top:
Writhing—or still —on the plain they
lie.
By hundreds they come—by hundreds
they die.
I laj- a barrage across the field.
No foe alive can pass through it.

Night. Black night, and the silence of
death. Not a sound to betray our plan
to the "enemy,’’ hundreds of yards dis
tant. In the silence and the dark, forty
eight gun squads twisting wheers and
clamping levers or forty-eight machine
guns, training them with deadly pre
cision on tho •‘enemy’’ lines.
"Cr-r-r-a-a-a-sb: ’ The staccato bark
of a Browning, mingled with the voice
of seve t n other Brownings into a steady
roar, tearing the silence to shred.-. Ajid i
for a width of one hundred yards, a hail |
of lad splashing into the "enemy trench." '
One-minute —two minutes—three minutes'
then
Silence! Silence so loud as to be ear- i
splitting after the crashing noise of the ;
second before.
What does it mean? If you wore in that ■
enemy trench, anywhere along the line, |
and heard it, though you were not in ;
the path of the leaden hail, what would
you think? You woldn’t have time to
t hink.
"Cr-r-r-a-a-a-sh!” Before ynu had
time to collect your thoughts, again that
roar. Farther away this time—a m.ile to
the right. But now, in that enemy trench
you hear the whine of that stream of
steel hurtling over your head, the minor
wail of the machine guy's song of death.
You gasp with the realization that three
hundred yards farther back, your re
serve trench, where wait tho m*>n who
are to rush to your assistance if you are
attacked, are the target of that stream.
i For half an hour it keens nn- to your
| right., .to the lef and for directly in
front, while consternation spreads among
the men in your trench and the surround
in.; trenches. As soon as one battery
ceases to spe;»k. another start. - .
What's coming? Arc the Americans go
ing to attack? In the back areas, your
comrades are massing to move un into ’he
front line at the first move from the
trenches opposite.
Down in a deep dutrout in rear of the
American treinches. the commander <>f
the machine gun battalion sits, blocking
out on the rm • in front of him with a
red pencil, little squares which the har
rassing fire -f his nine batteries have
made untenable for the enemy. He con
sults his watch.
In j.ine shallow emplacements, scattered I
apparently at random throughout the sec- j
tor where a brigade of American infan- I
try awaits the word to go over the top.
nine battery commanders, wearing the
crossed rifles and the "M. G.” of the
American machine gunner, crouch down
and look at their watches bv the pin
point of light from a tiny pocket flash.
Eight of the batteries are silent, and
the gunners are again twisting wheels
and clamping levers are they alter the lay
of their guns, fine lone battery of four
guns, away off to the right, has- taken
up th£ work of worrying the enemy. The
other eight tense, silent, are waiting. The
battery commanders still crouch with
eyes glued to the second hand on their
watches —and every second hand is mov
ing precisely as every other one does. The
major, down in his dugout, synchronized
all the watches with his, an hour before.
The lone battery stops firing. For a mo
ment there is silence. Suddenly—
"Cß-R-R-A-A-A-SH'”
The sounds that «ent before were weak
and ('..liipi’.rru wiln this. Foriy-
eight un’s speaking as one. And for hun
dreds of yards acoss the enemy sector.
st el curtail suddenly drops a harrier of
screeching, sizzling bullets, absolutely im
penetrable.
The “S. O. S.” barrage!
The enemy reserves are shut, off!
out at the rifle range of tho Machine
Gun Training Center, where thousands of
line Americans are undergoing intensive
training to enable them to go “over there"
ami car* on with the job of the American
machine gunners, who turned the Hun
tide back al Chateau Thierry, they staged
last week a "big show" that was almost
as realistic as actual bttle, with the ex
pption that in place of a live enemy they
used targets.
Every detail was accorded with the tac
tics now being used on the Western
Front. The officers of the. Machine Gun
School, which is one of the most impor
tant branches of the Machine Gun Train
ing Center -the place where officers and
non-commissioned officers receive their
training in the theory ami practice of
machne gun tactic: - saw to it that every
thing was carried out just as though an
enemy actually were present.
It was a. demonstration of the use of
machine guns, on a larger scale than has
ever been undertaken in the United
States. It was the first of the big things
that art! iu store at the Augusta camp,
since the equipment of the School of Fire,
formerly situated at Fort Sill. Okla., was
foved to the Machine Gun (’enter.
Forty-eight guns, and the quota of men
for an American Machine Gun Battalion
look part in the '‘show.” Ie served a
double purpose it furnished instruction
for every man that took part in it, and at
the same time, served as a test of the
qualifications of officers who are tak
ing the advanced course in machine gun
cry, and who must pas slhe test before
they leave the school.
The policy of the Machine Gun School
at ('amp Hancock is not. to (111 the offi
cers and men full of hook learning and
lectures, but to give them practical tests
in the work they have studied, before
they have studied, before they can be
J qualified as machine gun officers. Two
lof the batteries used in the problems
! worked out. last week were manned en
tirely by these prospective graduates.
, There wore nine batteries in a)l. six of
; four guns each, and three of eight guns,
lor 18 in all. Some ofg the groups were
| distant for the others as much as nine-
I teen hundred meters, more than a mie.
: The batteries were divided into four
i groups. In addition to th’e group com
! posed of the students in the advanced
I course, the • uns of one group were rnan-
I nod by men from the provisional machine
! Gun < unpany of the school, which is ful
jly equipped for instructional purposes,
■and the two other groups wore composed
-I of men that have had very little train
. • ing, having been on the range only three
■ days prior to the demonstration.
I Perfect bason was maintained through-
I out the demonstration. The battalion
commander kept in constant communica
tion with the group commanders by tele-
J phone, the commu neat ion being estab
i fished bv the 17th Ser vice Company,
Signal Corps, which is assigned to tho
[Machine Gun ('enter. The group com
: . manders maintained • communication with
I the batteries under their supervision by
• | means of runners.
I As far as the instructional purpose of
■the demonstration is concerned, it served
• j its purpose admirably. It was intended
to show the organization and of
■ machine gun batteries in barrage work.
[ And as far as the test it afforded the
i embryo machine gun commands is con
•.cerned, suffice it to say that they show-
< 1 a perfect score. Examination of the
targets, by daylight the next morning
showed them riddled by bullets. Not a
battery but what reached its objjeetive
with a perfect hail of fire. Ami all this
with not a light visible to the enemy.
j To tell exactly how this was accom
plished would meat: a long, technical and
therefore uninteresting to the layman—
explanation a box with its closed side
toward the enemy and its open side to
wards the machine gun nest. A light is
placed in the box, which naturally is
invisible to the enemy but can be seen
from the machine gun emplacement. The
box is then shoved out a few yards in
front— out in No Man’s Band -and by
calculation of angles of elevation and
angles of traverse, your machine gun
ner can tell just how to set his gun so
that he can aiYn at the light in the box
and hit the enemy.
All of the targets were hit with as much
precision as though the firing had been
done at high noon.
The demonstration Wednesday night
consisted of a program of harrassing fire.
T- '
All watches were synchronized to the
second. Orders were issued by the bat
talion commander t<> harra> :• points in
the enemy line with a fire curtain. (
on the second, one battery would open
task. When it had finished, another, per
haps more (han a mile away would wor
ry the enemy at another point.
At one limo the word went out for an
“S. o. S.“ barrage, and on the second,
forty-eight guns answered the <*nlL
Thursday’s program was entirely diff
erent. Watches were again synchronized,
and the “zero hour” set. at 11:10 a. m.
Again on the very second, forty-eight
guns sent, forth their stream of lead on a
front of nine hundred meters, laying down
an impenetrable barrier that no living
thing could pass through.
An interesting feature of this problem
was that one of the battery groups was
placed well forward, and fire from the
rear batteries passed directly over the
heads of the men in the advanced ma
chine gun “nests ” As a convincing
demonstration of the safety of overhead
(ire, such as is used over the heads of our
advancing infantry, it was most con
vincing.
To show (he mobility of the machine
guns, and how perfectly the situation was
in hand, an unexpected element was in
troduced into the problem. An imagin
ary cross-roads was plotted on the map.
and the loc tion given by telephone and
messenger to the battery commanders.
Within the space of a very few seconds,

WHAT’S IN A NAME?
What’s your idea of an expressive nickname for a Machine Gunner ?
Last week’s Trench and Camp carrried an announcement that a contest for
nicknames would be held, ini i‘.mg all Machine Gunners to send in their sugges
tions. To date some very good names have been sent in, but the number is too
small. i
Every branch of the service has its own peculiar nickname. When you see
a blue-hat-corded soldier you involuntarily think of Doughboy. When you
see a sailor you call him a Gob. The British call their Machine Gunners the
Emma Gees, and in speaking of their machine guns call them “typewriters.” Let’s
I have an American nickname, something with some “real live Yankee PEP.”
something that will suggest the “CLICK” of the Machine Gunnery; something
that will associate these rootin’, tootin’, scootin’, shootin’ suns of guns” with
their work of planting the Stars and Stripes in Unter den Linden.
I I There is only one best branch of the service, and the Machine Gunner takes
it for granted that you know what that branch is. And yet when you mention
him, you only call him a Machine Gunner. Let’s get a name that will indelibly
stamp the Machine Gunner as a distinctive kind of chap, a name that will not
only go through this war but one that you can tell your grandchildren in years
to come. One that will by its very sound tell the story of how the Yank Machine
Gunners showed the Hun what a real scrap was.
Camp Hancock is the Machine Gun Training Center of the United States
army. Mull that over a little, Buddy, and you’ll come to tjie conclusion that
this is SOME MORE camp and that there is SOME MORE jdb on hand, that of
I training the Machine Gunners for the entire United States army. No other camp
in the world has this distinction, no other camp has a bigger job. What is more
appropriate then than Camp Hancock should once and for all name the man
who is at the present time making history for Uncle Sam and who in the days to
come is destined to play an important role in making the world safe for demo
cracy.
Start the old gray matter working fellows. Send in your suggestions to the
Name Contest Editor of Trench and Camp. MAKE IT SNAPPY!

Final Count Shows Barnwell
Went Over the Top by Twen
ty Per Cent Surplus.
When General Edwards granted per
mission to the Machine Gun Flying Five
to answer urgent call from Barnwell,
S. (’., who. due to an error in tb<> figures
were twenty odd thousand dollars behind
their quota on the last day of the drive,
he assigned the boys a men’s-size job.
Having experienced the glory of going
-ver the top, and then finding that it
was a. mistake, was the luck that befell
the folks of Barnwell, the county seat of
that county.
'The S. O. S. reached (’amp Ham- ck in
time to speed Sergeants Case.\, Bales,
Quinn, together with Corporal 'Handman
and Private Bolger to the scene of the
Liberty Loan rally at that place in the
car of J. L. McCarter of Aiken.
Arriving there, the bovs just sailed
right into the Barnwell folks for the
necessary amount, ami managed to im
press them for an additional twenty per
cent over and above their allotment But
the eagles were not pouring into the cof
fers as rapidly as we write about it. True,
Barnwell is a very patriotic center, but.
the fact that they had spent their en
thusiasm a day earlies in going over the
ton was almost too much for them.
Despite this clouded atmosphere, the
quintet at once started a very determined
drive tn push the county seat over the
top. After Sergeant 'asey had given the
folks one of his best numbers, with the
trio of Handman at the piano, and Ser
geant Balos and Private Bolger, the fa
mous pickers of the banjo accompanying
him. the crowd showed a little interest
in the afternoon’s doings
Mr. A. E. Brown, the local chairman of
♦hi liberty Loan
s his fellow citizens and told them of the
great need for immediate uppnrt. Ser
geant Quinn was introduced, and started
a rapid-fire bond acmpaign. The first
bargain he offered the Barnwell folks
was a thousand dollar song, one of Ser
geant Casey’s not pieces. It wasn’t long
before the purchase price mounted, step
by step, to the grand total of seventy
two hundred dollars for the song. With
t ricks and intrigue. - ach succeeding
song and piece by the trio brought a
higher mark. Before the meeting closed
at the hour fixed by the government for
the official ending of the Fourth Liberty
Loan, the Machine Gun Five had succeed
ed in selling twenty-seven thousand dol
lar.4* worth of bonds. This amount was
five thousand in excess of Barnwell’s
allotment.
