from the British observer with the
French forces:
''The allied front IS more than 500
miles In length. From the right of the
British line, near La Bassce. the re-
naming $50 miles are held by the
French. From La Bassee to Pont-a-

trenches. which. practically speaking
are continuous. At very few points
In the line arc the opposing trenches
more than 800 yards from each other
The nrst-ine trenches along this front
face most of tho work. They resemble
small forts. and are regular nests OF
bombproof shelters and machine-gun
emplacements with deep communicate
ing trenches. This line Is succeeded
by others OF similar construction
The remainder Of tho limo from
Point Mousson to tho Franco Swiss

parts:
