COMPLICATIONS
 STRONGEST IN WORLD
Three Distinct Circles Sweep Around
 French Capital. ."

Washington, Aug. 29.-The abil- ity of the Notifications of Paris to resist a siege is receiving the close attention of military observers, now that Paris is the announced objective point of the German forces and the French ministry of war has adopted urgent means of strengthening .ae city's defenses to the utmost.
 -.s Strongest in World.
 While the city's detailed defenses are surrounded with s1rlcr secrecy ly French military authorities. yet their general character and formidan.. strength are we'll known to military experts who recognize them as among the strongest fortifications in the world.
 These Notifications consist os three distinct circles sweepir F around the city-first, the solid walls of masonry eighteen feet high extending 22 miles around the old sections of Paris; second the systcm of IT detached forts arranged at in- tervals two miles beyond the wall and making a circuit OF the city 34 miles long; and the third an outer girdle of forts 75 miles long on the heights commanding the valley of the Seine.
 Each Complete Defense
 Each of these circles of masonry and steel is a complete defense in itself, the forts being linked tog.th- CT with redoubts, bastion and glacis which permit a cross fire against ap- proach by its area, which extends 400 square miles.
 The wall around Paris and the IT detached forts two miles beyond the wall, were built by Louis Philippe. They sustained the German siege of 1S7O-71 and the outer forts have since been greatly strengthened. The third line of forts, on the hills of St. Germaine, Cormilles and Nil- Hers, are of modern construction with the latest types of batteries and heavy guns.
 The Important Inner Wall.
 The inner wall surrounds the best known and most important sections of the city, including the business section along the grand boulevards. the residence sections on the north

 And so the ambassador entered and greeted his fellow diplomat cordially, A few minutes later he was called to MT. Bryan's office and shortly left the building.
 It would have been different if the incumbent of the anteroom had been representative from Great Britain, France, Russia or Belgium.
