fact that the Notifications protecting

leaving a shortage of 81 companies. or
almost one-hsff the total required.
The number of regular coast artil-

In the absence Of proper sea coast

the strong German coast fortifi cations

German coast cities and the security
enjoyed by the German fleet against

the capture of that city but also the
turning of the flank OF the Russian
