more at the foot Of the cliff and rises again until
it drops in the second escarpment The process
is repeated, and the whole Of the basin pre-
sents surface cf gentle western slopes and drop
ping eastern declivities.
Most of the maps that have been printed in the
papers and magazines give little idea OF these
conditions Hills indicated by sharp peaks,
while the continuous slopes and long cliff lines
are nowhere indicated The features of this
basin, the circular crescent cliffs east and
northeast of Paris facing the German attack, the
strong contrast presented between the eastern
and western slopes Of the Vosges the plateau of
Western Germany and the Ardennes gashed by
the valleys Of the Rhine, Moselle and Meuse, and
the comparatively level plains of Central and
Northwestern Belgium have determined the course
Of the present campaign.
Professor Johnson described these features sep
arately. He said that in the region of the Vosges
and the Black Forest we find what was once the
eastern rim of the Paris Basin 1t formed
broad arch in Southwestern Germany. The utmost
height of this arch is now the Valley of the Rhine
The Rhine Valley itself was formed by drop
ping of section of the arch in the exact spot
where by all rules it should be highest At one
side Of the valley the Nosges Mountains, ris.
ing in gradual slope from France until they take
sheer drop into the Valley of the Rhine. On
the other side is the Black Forest and the broad
upland to the north also presenting its steep side
TO the Rhine Valley
A BROAD UPLAND CUT INTO SHARP GORGES
AND VALLEYS.
The second feature is the broad upland to the
north. This is formed of the same crystalline
rock, but, instead of being worn away, it has been
cut into sharp gorges and valleys From a dis
lance this plain has level appearance, but on
closer view the rough character is evident, and it
Locomes obvious that effective maneuvrng is i'm
possible in such country.
The third feature is the slopng surface of the
Paris Basin itself, where the horizontal chalk,
limestone and sandstone layers come TO the sur
fsce in sharp cliffs and escarpments that face the
German guns. These cliffs have openings or river
gaps of great strategic Importance The fourth
Of the Belgian plain, presents surface that is adj
mirable for the movement of massed troops.
According TO Professor Johnson the topography
of these different regions has limited the Germans
to four principal routes Of invasion. The first is
IRON Strassburg in the Rhine Valley thence over
the Vosges or by way of the Belfort gateway into
the Valley of the Saone, which is also formed by
the dropping down of a longitudinal section of the
earth's crust, and finally over the cliffs to Paris
itself
The Belfort gateway is the opening between the q,

southern end Of the vosges and the Jura Noun
tains. In the middle of this opening, where the
mountains narrow down to it either side, is
one of the strongest forts on the French frontier
i commands the entire valley and the routes o.
transportation. To mask 1T and pass around Is
difficult, if not impossible, on account Of the in
closing hillsdes
The Germans have tried to take the Vosges, or
rather, 20 hurl men across them but have been
driven back with heavy losses. A recent dispatch
told of the suicide of the German commander who
had failed in this undertaking. Ordered by the
War Lord to cross at all costs, he did his best
and when he failed he shot himself. Before doing
So however, he sent to the Kaiser the message:
Impossible to cross the Vosges Come and try
it YOURSELF
The second route is from Coblentz by way Of
the Moselle Valley and then across the remaining
cliff lines to Paris. That this has been one of the
chief points of assault can be seen by the names
Of the towns in the dispatches and also by the
term "The Army Of the Moselle" The third route
runs from Cologne by way of the Meuse Valley
through the Ardennes in Belgium into France
But although the army sent by this route
countered a smaller number of cliffs, strong fort
resses have had to be reduced. Liege and Namur
blocked the way of the invading army, that could
not afford to pass and allow its lines of commune
cation to be threatened by these great fortresses
THE FOURTH ROUTE FROM COLOGNE AND
AIX-LA-CHAPELLE.
The fourth and last Of the four routes is from
Cologne and Aix-la- Chapelle across the plains Of
Belgium, through Brussels and Mons to Northern
France and thence by way of Cambria and St
Quentin to Paris This route is the one by which
the Germans launched their main attack, and the
advantages of the fiat country that they encoun-
tered were considered by them to be greater than
the disadvantages from violating the neutrality Of
Belgium and possibly bringing England into the
war. The advantages remained in spite of the
fact that this route is practically 80 per cent
lorger from German territory 20 Paris than that
Of the Moselle Valley route from west of Metz
to Paris. The actual distance is 3S5 kilometres
in the first case, as opposed TO 260 kilometres
Germany preferred the smoother route, although
,he choice involved longer lines of communion
ton as well as the other evils already mentioned
She preferred it because its topography favored
the swiftest advance of great armies and heavy
artillery in the face of the enemy. She could

Were it not impossible to describe
them it would be a distinct pleasure to
tell of the basket Of beautiful flowers
that comes to the Kennebec Journal
Office every year from the Misses Eat
on of 16 North Chestnut ST., Augusta.
The custom of long ago scrupulously
followed by these daughters of the
Journal, is a delightful oasis in the
desert grind of work of the Journal
crew They have come to expect, look
forward to, and to recall the days
when the business office and editorial
rooms are made fragrant and resplen-
dent by the thoughtful kindness of
those who live in a little world of
flowers. Russell A. Eaton was one of
the founders of the Kennebec Journal
and mis- daughters have never seemed
10 falter in their devotion to the pa
per or their desire to cheer on the
men and women who come and go in
the making of it. The basket of
flowers has become a sweet tradition
of the office, and once more we feebly
express our heartfelt appreciation.

matter of care and attention. Par-
sian Sage, when rubbed into the scalp
and applied to the hair, will work Won
ders-you will be surprised and de-

soft, fluffy, radiant with life, but really
doubly beautiful.

scalp needs. 1t surely removes dand-
ruff with one application and cleanses
the hair of all dirt and excessive oil
1t is an inexpensive, scientific tonic,
and contains nothing to injure the
hair or scalp. 1t can be secured from
Bowditch- Webster Co. or at any drug
or toilet counter.

morning said that Insurance Commits
