IN FLANDERS, Dec. S--(via Paris.
Dec. 4--l-A visit to the trenches OF the
French in Flanders by a correspondent
OF the Associated Press under the aus
pices of the French general staff. is
here described:
Standing in the shelter OF wonder
fully ingenious and deep dug trenches on
what undoubtedly is the bloodiest battle
field In European history, the first and
most notable impression of an observer
Is one OF utter surprise at the absence
of movement and the lack OF noise.
Within ones range OF vision with a strong
field glass, there are probably concealed
900 men. yet except for the few French
soldiers with rifles in their hands, stand
ing or kneeling in the immediate vicinity
and keenly peering over the flat land
toward the position known to be hold by
the Germans. no human presence was
noticeable.
"A staff officer supplied the lnforma-
tion that behind a slight slope some 800
yards away many German guns were
hidden from sight,. but only an occasional
burst OF flame and a sharp whirring
sound coming from an indefinite point
told OF the presence OF this artillery.
"A little forest 60 the left is believed
to be bristling with machine guns, backed
by infantry IN rifle pits and covered
trenches. The approach to these post
tions has ben made almost impossible

ments. owing TO the small extent 70 which
horsemen may be used in this burrow-
ing campaign, have been supplied with
rifles and bayonets, and are taking their
turn In the trenches. In many instances
they have proved their versatility and
displayed great dash.

fered severely from the destructive fire
OF shell and shrapnel have now learned
to seek proper cover and conceal theil

The present activity OF the German

British and French experts TO have been
