IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only a Little Way From
Being ~impregnabie.

In the Ati.ntic Monthly Mr.. Edward
%provoment tfle Germans have made in
their barbed-wire d~cfcnses. The
wires arc USUALLY fastened to wooden
posts, OF course. but the Germans have
found Il better support for them. He
writes:
after we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
it, shifting ihe parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
Job was one ia IL wonderfully short
time, thinks 10 German thoroughness.
For the woode, stakes so which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, iliree-quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times in the shape
of Il great cnrkScTeW. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like Il cork
pnller into a cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six OF seven small loops in Il
height nf abalt five feet. Into these
eyes the eaIbed wire WAS laid and
$olidlE secured with short lengths Of
tying wire.
"ifirSt cutting the tying wire. we lift
ed the n11bed wire out of the eyes,

turning the ROO with the leverage of
the ssick, nsncrewed it out of the

esS, screwed it in again. The advap-
tage OF this rod is obvious. When a

ed, but unless broken off short they
always support the wire, and even
after a severe bombardment present u

such cas- wooden posts are blown to

broken off they let the wire fall flat

WonderfM Ode Holland.

Washington, d. C.-Switzerland's
system Of citizen soldiery preparedness
has been a subject of wide exploitation
since the outbreak Of the European
war. but little has been written about
the manner in which diminutive Hol-
land safeguards her national integrity,
surrounded as she is on practically all
sides by powerful n%eighbors. A graphic
and authoritative account OF the clti-

liaths Of Europe Is given in a commu-
nication to h National Geographic so

The modern kingdom, with it's har-
bors and it's vast foreign trade, forms
a small but concise national unit in
