CAMP MEADE BOYS IN DIG-IN PRACTICE Dugouts Forty Feet Deep, Capable of Holding an Entire Regiment Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., Dec. 10.—The boys have started to dig themselves Into the ground, not mere surface trenches only deep enough to shield them from view across No Man's Land, but real dug outs more than forty feet deep and of sufficient proportions to accom modate an entire regiment at a time. The construction of these dugouts is well under way, and, it is said, that the training of the lads will take them into the ground to live within another week. In these massive subterranean pas sages the lads will live for several days at a time. They will be ac climated, as it were, to the methods of life "Over There." The tieid kitchens have been distributed and the lads in several units are making ready for their iirst real taste of the life of a modern soldier in the Held of action. Although less than a mile from their own comfortable quarters the lads will forget that the barracks were ever constructed and they will spend all of their time during the tour of duty far underneath the ground. They will be gassed—that is, learn the methods of defense against gas attacks and they will be taught to use the poisonous vapor as as the other instruments of warfare, even the fiendish ones in troduced by the maniacal autocrat and his cohorts. They are not mere holes in the ground, either. They are more, and in their construction the artistic hand of the camoufteur earn be seen. As one approaches he sees a hill,' with its stubby grass, which has been scorched by the rays of the sun until its color blended with the sand, and the young pines seem to Indicate a promising woodland. The guide informs the visitors that the trenches are beyond the hill. When the course is reached it is found that the hill is made of potato bags sewed together and stretched over a wire screen. The bags are the color of the sand and the grass and the pines have been so arranged that the most scrutinizing individual would be deceived when a few feet away. Under this hill is the entrance to the dugouts and the surface trenches for fighting. There are im plements for machine guns, barbed wire entanglements and, in fact, ev erything that goes with an honest tp-goodness trench. There are to be three lines of fight ing trenches in front of the dugouts, and the grenade throwers, gas and fire units, signal corps, artillery and infantry will all be pressed into serv ice in these mimic battles to thrust back the imaginary foe and thus pro vide the lads with the knowledge of real conditions under which they will live and fight with a real enemy in a few months.
