Day Of Fortress Not Over

HAT very interesting article from the
Army and Navy Journal which was
printed yesterday on this page, is rather de-
structive Of the theory that most Of us had
formed-that the day OF fixed fortresses is at
an end According to the writer, there arc
fortresses and fortresses. and those properly
constructed and adequately armed are as val
liable to-day as they have ever been in the
past.
In proof of this assertion, he points to
Verdun and Belfort, particularly the former
which has withstood for months the fierce
attacks of the German artillery-and OF Ger
man infantry as well. The guns of Verdun
are nearly as good as the big forty-two- cent?
meter howitzers used by the Kaiser's forces,
and, with the aid of aeroplanes. in obtaining
the range, they have held their own
All of which goes to show perhaps that
we ought not to be too hasty In forming con-
illusions.
