POSITION At HILL 90
OF PECULIAR INTEREST

nUNKTRK, FRANCE, August l5.-
The present position at Hi! 80, which
the British military authorities recent
ly admitted had lapscd back into Ger
man possession, is peculiar and OF
great interest.
The hill is really nothing but n
knoll OF gently rising ground that
forms tho end of the Klein -Zillebck q
ridge. The German trenches run in "A
double tier along the crest and upper
slope, while the British trenches form
an irregular line along the edge OF the
lower slope. The Germans are at the
top of the hill, while the British are
a little way up the side of it,
The whole face of the hill presents
n picture of the widest confusion.
Everywhere arc huge craters. the re-
suit of mine explosions on the night of
the British attack. Torn and gaping
sandbags are scattered in profusion:
broken rifles. odds and ends of equip
ment OF all kinds, smashed barb wire
and mass OF other debris lies in be-
wildering variety down the hillside,
the whole half-hldden in the long grass
that has sprung up between the
trenches.
The trenches twist and wind in a
remarkable manner. At one point
there is an old communication trench
running from the British lines straight
into the heart OF the German posi-
ton, and down this two barricadcs
have been erected, one on the English
side and one on the German side. Here
the opposing forces come within six
yards of each other. Between the
rival barricades there stretches a short
patch of ground shut in on either
hand by the crumbling walls OF the
old trench.
AT one spot railway bridge spans
the British position, and in the cut
ting beneath it n large pool of stag
| nant water has collected. Beyond i,
stretches the railway limo. the rails
torn and twisted and partly covered
with the weeds growing between the
ties. The line is under direct fire from
the German lines. and to cross 1t ir
| the open would mean certain death
| from snipers in the opposite trench
forty yards away. In tho pool below
| the bridge q score or more OF bodies
have been lying for some weeks, an6
no man dnres approach to bring then
out for burial.
