In an article,. "Bayonet Fighting and 1 hyeacal
Framing,^ in the August, 1917, number cf ti c
Jnfaniiry Journal; Alai or Percy Hobbs of the
Canadian Forces writes that ‘ after a bayonet
•rack, in nine cases out of ten (trench or openj,
"he men grapple. . . . The man v. 10 has never

average trained men tie themselves up in a knot

Major Hobbs is but one of the many milimry
writers v ho have emphasi <1 the vital necessity

and ekill of the individual are play ing an increas-
ingly large part in the determination of the final
outcome.
That events have taken this turn, is perhaps
the fortunate thing from the viewpoint of the
American soldier. От all the peoples of the earth
the average American is undoubtedly the most
experienced and the most api in hand-to-hand
fighting. This is partly the result of his activity
in certain sports. Boxing, though frowned upon
professionally in the majority pf our communities,
is after all distinctly cn American sport. It is
but the natural expression of the native Amer-
ican’s instinct of fighting villi his fists.
This form of combat has given the inhabitants
of the United States a marked advantage in the
quick and expert use of the hands. Bascbal
the most national of our eamcs, has been es-
pecially instrumental in training the American
eye and producing suppleness of body. Foot-
ball has ingmined into our youth a certain game-
ness and a stiek-to-itiveness and has cultivated
grit. AU arc quaKfies essential to hand-1 о band

тЬ 1 exception., English officers stated that, the
«л-ту was at a distinct disadvantage in such a
gat. As he has seldom been a patron of the
ianly sports, the average Gorman in a combat
' clumsy in the use of his hands. Not being
s ustouied to baseball, or other games of like
; Jure, he finds it hard to stand up against a
mass flying in his direction. \s a result, almost
every lime an Englishman hurled his helmet at
him, the enemy was so upset that before he could
regain his equilibrium he was pierced with the
bayonet. On other occasions, reports Нале come
from English oflicers that their men had found
tl e application of a few jiu-jitsu tricks in grap-
pling to bo of great service in vanquishing of
their opponents.
Utilizing lire facts embodied in these reports
- a suggestion, this volume presents a series of
positions and holds for the use of the soldier
engaged in hand-to-hand encounter. The object
of this method is two-fold: to disable or destroy
the opponent : and to defend oneself.
Many of the holds and attacks of the system
are familiar to rhe followers of the Gueco-Rom an,
cateh-as-catch can and jiu-jitsu wrestling. These

Ti - system of destruction and self-defense is
fraught with dire consequence to the enemy
in a man-to-man encounter, where it is the
- of one man against the lift' of the other, the
w.flier having mastery of it is bound to have an
- .. whelming advantage. This must be the case
daily against an enemy notoriously ineffective
hand-to-hand fighting. The drilling in the
brious holds and attacks described and illus-
trated in this manual, therefore, wil result not
er..v in development of the soldier’s physical
t tributes and his natural powers of destruction,
ba; will also instill in him a greater confidence
in 1 self-reliance in bayonet attack and close-up
encou nter.
The practicability of this system has already
b *n proven by its adoption by a number of
Companies of the 30th Army Division at Camp
~ ier. South Carolina. It has developed latent
-dbilities in the soldiers, and has won the
the of all the officers who have had occasion
i> observe its effects on the men and to test its
eiiificncy on the drill ground.
In this connection the author of this volume
xpresses his appreciation to Col. T. K. McCully,

Victor Chapman’s Letters
from France
II 'it St Г Li ft J. $1.25
Victor Chapman was studying architecture in Paris
when the war broke out and al once he joined the
French Foreign Legion. A year later lie was trans-
ferred to the Aviation Corps and went to the front
as pilot in the American Escatlrille. This volume
comprises his letters written to his family, covering
ihe full period of his service from September, 1914, to
a few days before his death.
“ 1 hey are, says the A ew 1 Tunes, comment-
ing on them, ‘graphic letters that show imaginative
feeling and unusual faculty for literary expression and
they arc filled with details of his daily life and du-
ties and reflect the keen satisfaction he was taking in
his experiences, lie knew many of thuse Americans
who have won distinction, and some of them death,
in the Legion and li e Aviation Service, and there is
ircqueir reference to one or another of them. . . .
hi few of the memorials to those who have laid down
their lives in this war is it possible to find quite such
a sense of a life not only fulfilled but crowned by its
sacrifice, notwithstanding its youth full less, as one gets
from this tribute to Victor Chapman.”
