Gay another unusual sight was added
TO the picture. A railway train was
evidently within range of French
battery. We saw the train start from
village, going in the direction of
Altkirch. The smoke of the engine
formed light streak in the valley.
Soon light puffs of smoke danced
around the moving train. They fell
before and behind the engine, some OF
them to the near and others to the
far side of the train, but still the
engine kept moving. Would it reach
the next station and get beyond range
was the question.
We followed it with the eye for full
ly five minutes, and then it vanished
cut of the field of our vision behind
a slope, as if it sought safety in a val
ley.
The wounded state that furious
fighting is still in progress in the val
leys north of Thanh. 1t is peculiar
kind of warfare. The present war has
shown that siege operations can be
carried on in the mountains as well as
in the plains.
Hitherto, as military experts tell
us, mountain war has lent itself spe-
cially to guerilla fighting; to constant
movements and attacks, with the in
evitable surprises. There has been
a good deal of this in the Vosges, but,
on the other hand, there has been also
an unexpected amount of slow siege
operations, laborious approaches and
attacks, and, finally, monotonous
trench warfare, such as is carried on
in the plains, for distances of hun
dreds of miles, in Champagne and
Flanders.
1t was not always easy to dig
trenches in the mountains. But mod :
ern engineering knows no limits. When
trenches cannot he dug, trees are
felled and ranged in long barricades,
the rock is blasted, and tunnels driven
through the sides of the hills.
Experts who have been allowed to
visit some of these defenses in the
Vosges declare that both sides have,
curing the winter months. achieved
wonders.
Huge works have been undertaken
which have made of each mountain a
separate fortress. If one of these
fortresses is stormed as, for instance,
the now famous Reichsackerkopf, 80
Imperial Valley press., 1915-05-05

similar fortresses all around about
still remain to be conquered.
The German positions extend for a
distance of about 40 kilometers in
winding line, and are held by at least
one army corps, if not more. This is
subdivided into considerable number
of units, and the commander of each
position, we are told, enjoys a great
deal of independence of movement.
The troops consist of men from Ba-
varia, Baden, the Palatinate, Wurtcm-
burg, Westphalia, SaXony and Thurin-
gia. Ever since last August. and
through the worst winter months, the
fighting around these little fortressea
has gone on incessantly. Sometimes
1T has been mere artillery duel, then
a sharpshooting contest between the
Chasseurs Alpins and the German
hill climbers, newly trained; race
between armed skiing companies, or,
finally a furious hand to-hand fight
for the possession of some crest.
Chasseurs Alpins rarely ever sur

complexion of war is changing.
The flying men come down with the
news every day that the grass is get
ting greener in the no mans land be-
tween the trenches. No one dares
go out there to tramp it down.
Trees that were landmarks with
their bare branches in the winter time
were changing shape as their buds
became leaves and the officers find
themselves daily becoming more and
more strangers to the landscape.
Curtains of leaves have grown up
to shelter roads and fields that. in
the winter days, were daily swept by
the enemy fire. bad corners" in
trenchland, road intersections on which
the guns of the enemy were always
turned, are becoming more sheltered

irony of this message struck the keynote in the ney bus

VIVID PICTURE OF
MODERN WARFARE
(By A. Beaumont)

Correspondent of the international
News Service and London Daily
Telegraph) -
Basle, Switzerland, April Pal have
just witnessed vivid picture of the
war. A German balloon, attached
probably to some battery near Alt
kirch, rose, as usual several hun
dred yards into the air, and swung
lazily in the light breeze that blew
from across the southern SUBMITS of
the Vosges, when a shell, hurled with
remarkable precision from a French
gun, struck it. All we could see was
a little white puff of smoke, followed
Immediately by a lurid glare. The
balloon was no more, and the occu-
pants of its frai basket had Likewise
met their fate.
The guns on either side doomed
away and the invisible battle contin-
ued as violent and as distant as ever.
7efore long bevy of aeroplanes could
be spied through powerful field
,,lasses. They had come from the
French side, but were like tiny gnats
in the sky.
Other aeroplanes, from the German
lines, came from Altkirch, or from
hiding places on the other side of the
Rhine, and chased the first ones in a
zigzag line. Below them the guns
Numbered away necessarily.
Day by day, now that the fine
weather has come, we can see the pro-
cress of the battle. From the top
cf one of the spurs of the Jura the
spectators can follow its various
phases. There is nothing very dis
tinct except the thunder of the guns;
the movements of the troops, the at
tacks of the German infantry and de-
tense of the gallant Chasseurs Al
pines are imagined, if not seen.
It is, to some extent, like bat
lie presented on the cinema screen.
Puffg cf smoke dart all over the place,
rivirr the screen life and movement.
They are the exploding shells, which
can be easily traced, and now and then
I, column of smoke rising into the air
shows where haystack, a barn or a
farmhouse has been set on fire, and
a small flame, barely visible to the
eve, adds color to the scene.
