Take one of the ordinary dummies. Put a Turk's Head on a stick about 4 feet long and nail some canvas or gunny sacking to the other end so that the edges will spread out. Sew the canvas to a point on the dummy about two-thirds of the way down the front and suspend it from the top with strong ropes attached to the upper corners of the dummy. DISCS ON TARGET With a view to attaining accuracy in the points, cardboard discs about 3 inches in diameter should be placed on the front of the dummies. The soldier should not merely try to hit the dummy with his bayonet, but he should endeavor to make hits on the discs. [Illustration: EACH DUMMY MUST BE REGARDED AS AN ACTUAL ARMED OPPONENT] EXERCISES The exercises that may be devised with this equipment are of an infinite variety, ranging from practice runs of one man to each bay of the trench, merely going into and out of the trenches, to an entire squad assaulting each bay with targets placed all along the course. The following are suggested exercises: _Exercise 1_ Number of men to make the run: Four, one at each bay. _Targets: No. 1._ One Target D, half exposed on parapet at the left corner of Bay 4 to represent a man firing over the parapet. _No. 2._ One Target D, resting against the rear wall of the fire trench of Bay 4, at the opening of the dugout, to represent a man just emerging from the squad dugout. _No. 3._ One Target A, midway between the fire trench and the supervision trench. _No. 4._ One Target E, in supervision trench. _No. 5._ One Target D, in supervision trench at the entrance to the communication trench. _No. 6._ One Target D, on the ground to the rear of the supervision trench. Note. Targets for the man making the run against Bay 4 are stated. Those for the other men making the run are similarly located. THE RUN The method of making the run will be explained for the man making the run at Bay 4. The other men proceed in a similar manner. Being in the prone position at the starting point the soldier rises quickly to his feet and advances at the double time (not running) towards Target No. 1, the piece being carried at the "High Port." When within about 8 paces of Target No. 1 the piece is brought to the position of guard and when at the proper distance the target is attacked with a vigorous "Long Point." This is followed by a clean withdrawal. The soldier then jumps into the fire trench and attacks Target No. 2 or attacks from over the fire trench as is desired. He then climbs out of the fire trench and continues his advance attacking Target No. 3 with a Long Point; No. 4 with a Long Point; No. 5 with a Short Point and No. 6 with a Long Point, each being followed by a clean withdrawal of the bayonet. _Exercise 2_ Number of men to make run: Two squads, one at Bays 1 and 2, and the other at Bays 3 and 4. _Targets_: The targets are given only for the four men making the run against Bay 4. Those for the other three bays are similarly arranged.
