line of fortresses the forts of Calais,
Grandine. Dunkiri1 and Birge. The
country between the rivers Iser and
Lys is capable of being largely mum
dated. Lille is strongly fortified and Is
the junction of a number of important
railroad lines. A defensive area for
this part of the frontier, principally
facing towards Charleroi, which is a
junction of many roadways, has been
provided for. Its right rests on the
river Sambre, at Maubeuge. a strong
fort. This whole position menaces any
advance either east or west of It,. Next
come the first class of forts Of Hirson
and Montmedy, then the line of the
river Reuse to Sedan. From here to
Verdun the line follows the Mouse.
Verdun is an intrenched camp of great
strength.
North of Verdun for some is miles a
gap has been left, inviting invasion, as
it were. From Verdun south there is
almost a continuous line of forts until
Toul, another very strong fort, is
reached This city is on the banks of
the Moselle river and on the Strass-
burg Paris railway.

a perlmeter OF practically 80 miles.
These works are strong and well de-
Tended. The principal railway centers
along this frontier are ST Pol, Arras,
Laon, Mezieres, Rethel Verdun, Bar
le-Duc. Neufchateau, Mirecourt. Epi-
nal, Vesoul and Besdncon.
AS to any propable line of attack by
Germany against France, with view
to an invasion, it seems that the area
between the Vosges mountains and
Luxembourg, and including a part of
the latter, offers the best chances.
The whole line has been so carefully
and strongly fortified that at this time
there is little to choose. 1t Is highly
probable that a continuous infantry
parapet exists along the entire from
tier. So that in choosing a point for
assault the invader will consider the
natural advantages to be derived from
the ground more than the fact that
there exists works of this or that kind
at the place decided upon for attack.
If the engineers art can make it, on a
front of this length, the French from
tier should hold an enemy for a long
time.

COUNTY DIVISION
FIGHT IS WARM
IN Twin FALLS
West End of the County
Anxious to Have Bull
County Seat Figures in
the Campaign.

Twin Falls county is enjoying a bit
ter county division fight into which has
been dragged the name of Governor
Haines. The Bull end of the county
wants to be segregated from the old
county and created into a new one.
The anti divisionists about Twin Falls
have made the claim that even if a
county division bill were passed they
have it from Governor Haines he would
veto the measure. The divlsionists
claim they are in receipt of a letter
from Governor Haines saying he made
no such promise and cannot be in
volved in whatever the local fights
Twin Falls county has.
Bull is determined TO force the di-
vision issue and has issued the follow
ing statement through its officers to
the Twin Falls end:
To the Business Interests OF Twin
Falls and All Fair Minded People
Who Believe in Justice and Equality.
In view of the unwarranted inter-
ference of the Twin Falls Commercial
club, a supposedly non-partisan organ
ization. in the political affairs of this
county. we feel it incumbent upon us
to call the attention of those who
have the real business interests Of
Twin Falls and vicinity in mind to a
few facts in relation to our position
and aspirations.
Will Work to the End.
The people of the west end" make
no denial about working strenuously
for county division, and will continue
TO do so every two years until they
gain their end.
The causes leading up to this deter
mination on our part were, primarily,
the selfish and unfair attitude towards
this end of the county on every ques-
ton pertaining to our welfare on the
now attempting to dictate to the can
didates of Twin Falls county.
Time after time the actions of this
club have led to apologies on the part
of some good citizens of Twin Falls
with the assertion that the Twin Falls
Commercial club did not represent the
true sentiment of a majority of the
Twin Falls people. II this be true it
is time that the real sentiment of
Twin Falls be expressed,
1t is absolutely too late now to take
any action that would stop the county
division sentiment in the west end
Our people have awakened to It's adj
vantages, and propose now to push the
issue TO its logical conclusion.
The particular injustice of which we
complain Is the ultimatum that we
cannot under any circumstance. have

At the last general election the
voters by vote of almost two to one
asked to have the treasurer made tax
collector. The legislature said this was
not effective until 1915. Thinking that
the legislature had no say in the mat

court, backed by the county commits
sioners, promising that thought
could save about $4,000 per year in
terest on the tax collector funds as the
assessors were not required by law to
collect interest on the money while in
their possession. I won my case and

expenses of my office are paid I still

maker besides.
I thank Ada county voters for their
support in the past; I thank the tax
payers for their kindness and cour-
tesy to me in the office. II you wish to
show your appreciation of an efficient,
economical handling of the office, Sep

opportunity to place me In office for

Zap Shows Frances Three Lines of
Defense Against Germany.

The whole northeastern frontier of
France is organized into a very com
plete system of defensive works. These
are arranged so as to make the utmost
use of the natural features of the
country
An inspection Of this frontier of
France Will disclose the fact that there
are about 200 miles of fairly straight
boundary running southeast and sep
arating it from Belgium before 1t
reaches Germany. 1t then runs for
about 100 miles further to the south
east to a point about 40 miles due west
of Strassburg, thence south for about
rs miles to the Swiss frontier
The present northeastern lighting
frontier" of France due to Germany's
incursion into Belgium, is roughly
little more than 375 miles. The princi-
pal natural obstacles along this line are
the hills and forests of the Ardennes.
This area is about 30 by rs miles In
extent and lies to the north of Sedan,
being distributed in an east and west
direction. Next are the Mouse and
Moselle rivers, which parallel the from
tier and traverse the Ardennes district,
and have their source in the Vosges
mountains, ABOUT 20 miles west OF
Muelhausen. Between Nancy and
Muelhausen the Vosges mountains
raise their crests to a height of some
$500 feet.
Rhine Gernany's Main Defense.
To the east of these the Rhine flows
swiftly through a deep channel about
10 miles east of Muelhausen. On its
right bank lies the Black forest, which
extends practically to the frontier of
Switzerland In the vicinity of Basel
This is a difficult military obstacle,
The defensive policy adopted by the
French has been to establish line of
strong forts and intrenched positions
Immediately behind this frontier line,
the heaviest works being placed along
that part or parts Of defense. In this
policy also France has been guided to
some extent by political considerations,
as it was deemed inadvisable to aban-
don any territory at the beginning of
a war for the purpose of moving back
to better and shorter line.

Inexperience of Younger Officers Main

but unfortunately found at times others experience and
