Newly Fortified Paris.

The official Berlin Milstar Wochenblalk
publishes in its latest number an article
about the Notifications Of Paris, in which i.
is stated that, by the completion of this work,
Paris has become most formidable fortress
and that thereby all the disadvantages which
had arisen from the advance of the German
frontier to the west have been annulled. For
Paris will be able to defend the center as
well as the west and south of France At all
events, it Is certain that no future invader
will be able to establish his advanced posts
in those districts in which. during the siege Of
1870. the German reserve troops were quar-
tered. The commander-in- chiet of Paris
will then have to defend q territory of more
than 22O German square miles, and he will
be enabled to make great sorties, by which
the besieger may be surprised in such way
as to render it impossible for him to collect
the necessary troops for repulsing such
violent attack. The chances of successful
siege of Paris are, therefore, very small, and
all the more SO as In future certainly not more
than c-rps Of line troops will have to defend
Paris, as was the case in the war of 1870,
1t is altogether very doubtful whether It
would in future be possible to blockade
Paris completely, even with the help Of
several great armies connected with each
other by cavalry divisions.
