Manned -by, Great Britain's deep- sea, fishermen,- hundreds of tiny ves- eels are patrolling England's keel: from Harwich to the Pentland Fieth.

The coat is divided into districts, and Lowesbeft, N-orth Shields, Folkestone, and other euch fishing ports have be- come headquarters .for the mine destroyers. •Hundreds of other fishermen, members of the Royal Naval Re- serve, have been 'mobilized and are now in barracks waiting to be drafted into vessels as ehey are eximmiseiened, in, the stokehold or on the deck. Not all of the fisher- men have *been able to find places in the vartous branches of sea ser- vice. Thousands ,of 'them afe out of work and the Outlook i any- thing but bright for very many. "In other years at this time," Toilers of the Deep', the -magazine of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, says, "the great herring harvest of the east coast should be in full swing. To- day the quay is lined with vessels, but there is nosign of life on board; Alio they are idle because of the markets on the other side of ehe North Sea are closed to them.and because their work at sea' would be a menace to them- selves and cause serious hampering to the rapid movements of his Ma- jesty's ships that come and go con- tinually.

"At the outbreak of the war the • Norbh Sea was cleared for is time of all fishing vessels, and many of us think it would have been well had the prohibition been maintained lenger-than it was. There can be no doubt that numbers of fishing vessels have been captured and 'turned into Mine -laying vessels, while outwardly to all appearance, they are English trawlers .enga,geel in their ordinary routine of fishing. Many of,the fishing ports leave re- ceived blows through the non - return of a large part, of their fish- ing fleets.

Boston, Grimsby, and Hull have been parbicula.rly heavy suf- ferers through vessels striking mines, Thirty vessels were report- ed destroyed from Grimsby and ten from Boston.

That has been said of the Ger- mans after every engagement. • To their eredit it may be added that they face the most withering rifle fire and machine gun fire, but when Tommy and his French com- rades get the order to charge with fixed bayonets the German soldiers break end flee, says a, writeren The New York Press. De.spite the great increase both in 'range 'and deadliness of guns and rifles, the bayonet, is still the final factor in deciding a big battle. British army authorities; have al- ways recognized that, arid instrue- Lion in how -to use the bayonet has always been an important part of the training. of English soldiers. So important is bayonet fighting regarded, in fad, that British sol- diers are taughe et practically indi- ridually instead of in numbers,as in other parts of their training. Each bayonet instructor, in fact, only trains four pupils at a time, so that he can clearly see and point out the weakness of eacih man. When the "Tommy" begins to learn the varioue parries ,against an imaginary foe, dummy rifles with ordinary bayonets areused; but when he "takes on" his instructor a spring bayonet is fixed to his rifle. Tlhese bayonets have broad buttons on the end of them, and recoil at oath when they hit. The instructor and his pujell are, of coarse, well protected with masks, padded jack- ets and gloves, in case of accidents. • Fights Padded Jacket. "Tommy's" first foe is a padded jacket hung on a wall., an•d the movement leitened from it is oflicial- ly known 'as the "Engage" eire"Ori guard." • This position is one in which the soldier is ready for any emergency, to thrust or parry, to jump -forward or back. • By ie, too, he is taught always to keep his bay- onet directed at the chest of his foe. With this first instruction "Tom- my" is also taught another, abso- lutely vital point in bayeeet fight- ing: That is, that his whole safety depends on keeping his opponent outside his bayonet point, for once the enemy gets "inside" the bayo- net the soldier ie more or less help- less, In bayonet fighting, in tact, the whole of the rifle is kept in front of lem body, and the soldier never draws his rifle back before making a thrust. These points are emphasized in bhe training, the Mlle being "thrown out" to the Tull extene of the arm, the feet not being moved from the "engage" position. • The next step is braining to avoid or parry this `throw point," as it is called. It is ueually made at is man's chest, and is parried from the "engage" poeition by moving the rifle to the right or left, thus push- ing the attacker's bayonet away to one Bide or the other. When the thrust is made law, however, the rifle is turned down, the bayonet being slightly imbedded in the ground. The Best Attack. By far the most effective form of abbe& is that, of the "kw point," as it is called. To deliver them at- tack the soldier drops down on his left hand, or on his left knee, and delivers the "throw point" en an upward direction. This attack is paaried in the same way as the "throw point." • In additioe to -learning the above ways oS attack -and defence, she sol- dier is also, taught the "beet," that ie to say, the way of knocking down cm enemy's gaited,. by egiving his rifle a smart hit with his own eau.- pon. It requires considera,ble practice, however, to train reeruits to use the bayonet quickly, and quickness is taught by a machine. A square frame of wood about 10 feet high has running down its cen- ter a wire on which are threaded a number of balls of thickly woven straw.. A mechanical device, re- leases these etra,w balls in succes- sion from the top of the wire, and as they pasathe recruit has to stab each onewith a, quick movement, withdrawing the bay,onet in time to kali the ene following closely be- hind. The advantage of this netchide that it not only teaches the soldier quick and accutete bayonet work, but it develops ,the wrist muselee necessary to withdraw the bayonet after it hag completed its deadly work.

Ter- rible tales have been told of the eleven end seventeen -inch Krupp weapone; last it may be said, with- out depreciating the powers of blie enemy, that these stories are eon- sideea,bly exaggerated. The exis- tence of these weapons has been known to military experts since the day the first of them appeared on the teebing-range of its creators, says a writer in Chambers' Jour- nal. A Wend of the writer, who has been responsible for many weapons, and who raw these guns under test upon the Krupp ranges, maintains that neither of these terrible how- itzers has yet been used, but that the ten and a :half centimeter— four and a quarter inch—howitzers, with which .the.
