down to an exact science. Here is how
they work II, as described by one Of the
official observers attached to British
headquarters:
The approaches are eNcavated by
pioneers working at the head. the Ger
man pioneers being technically trained
troops who correspond to our sappers
Owing to the close range at which the
fighting Is conducted and the fact that
rifles fixed in rests and machine guns
are kept permanently directed upon
the crest OF the trenches, Observable
is somewhat difficult, but the head or
end of the approaching sap can be de-
tected from the mound Of earth which
is thrown up. This cannot be done,
however, when the advance is conduct
ed by blinded sap The latter type
OF sap is made by tunneling below the
surface.
In some cases. usually at night. a
sap is driven right up to the parapet
of the hostile trench, which is then
blown up by a charge. Amid the con-
fusion caused and a shower OF hand
grenades the stormers attempt to
burst in through the opening and work
along the trench. They also assault in

18th DR.. CzerniCki was accosted by an
officer. who informed him that the king

to Count Bismarck. The rest may be
told in his own words:

his case. He seemed really touched.
There is war for you. messieurs, the
senators and deputies!' Then. turning
to one of his suit, he said, Please bring
me some wine and a glass; He filled

over the occupation Of the duchies OF

that a great opportunity had been pre-

prince of diplomacy when he dictated
at the signing Of the treaty Of Frank

CURED the enmity Of all of France.
Bismarck then entered upon what
was the most remarkable part of his
career. He saw that the welfare of
Germany demanded the development of
German resources. He held that the
sentiment Of France was such that
Germany was not free from another
outbreak Of war. so he succeeded In
uniting Germany into the triple alli-
ance with Austria and Italy. He also
strengthened.
He secured the adoption Of a law
establishing a high tariff on foreign
goods so that German industries should
develop. His prestige as the foremost
citizen Of Germany continued until
wilhelm II. assembled the throne. 1t

marck were not harmonious. SO in 1898
