international News Service.)


Press Camp British Headquarters in
France. July 5.-It is beyond the power
Of words to give a picture OF the Ger
man trenches over the battlefield Of Mon
tauban, where We now hold line through
the wood and beyond.
Before Saturday it was a wide and far
reaching network of trenches. with many
communication ways, strong traverses.
and redoubts, so that one would shiver
at their strength. II he were to see them.
on 4 map.
No mass of infantry, however great.
would have dared assault such a posi-
ton with bombs and rifles. 1t was a
great underground fortress. which any
body of men could have held against any
other, for all time, apart from the de-
structive power of heavy artillery.
Now. however. 1t is the most frightful
convulsion OF earth that the eyes of man
could see. The bombardment has tossed
all these earthworks into vast rubbish
heaps. II has made the ground one vast
series of shell craters. so deep and so
broad that 1t is like field OF extinct
volcanoes.
The British must have hurled hundreds
II not thousands, OF shells from their
heaviest Howitzers and long range guns
into this stretch OF fields until the bonn
bardment had annihilated the German
position.
Many of the dug-outs, going thirty feet
below the surface of the earth, and
strongly timbered and cemented. have
been choked with masses of earth SO
that perhaps hundreds were buried there
alive.

CONTRACTS LET FOR
Is new AEROPLANES
Officers of Aviation Service Say Coun-
try Is Awakening to Posi-
bihtes of Air Craft.

Contracts have been let by the War
Department for twenty-eight new
aeroplanes, exclusive of the twelve
machines now in Mexico. The ma
chimes will be rushed to the border as
soon as ready. pending the completion
of the army's comprehensive plan to
equip the twelve militia divisions with
air squadrons at cost estimated at
SO, ,640,S00.
The Senate Military Committees ap-
preparation of s13.sS1,666 for aviation
has stimulated widespread interest
throughout the country. and the aero
nautical branch of the War Depart
ment is fairly buzzing with work,
which it is expected will be incidental
to placing the United States on an ef-
hcient basis with regard to its aerial
service.
Officers explain that all signs point
to an awakening in the country to the
Importance of this new branch. It is
said that such big concerns as the
General Electric Company, the West
inghouse Electric, the Bethlehem Steel
Company and others are giving con-
sideration TO the possibilities of ex-
tending their facilities to the develop
ment OF aviation for the government,
with a view, perhaps, to putting the
United States among the leading ma
tions OF the world.
The present aeroplane companies
which deal with the government are
the Curtiss Company, the Sturtevant
Company. the Sloane Company, Martin
Company, Thomas Company, L. w. F.
Company, Burgess. Aero Marine, Gal
laudet General, Empire State and
Eastern Company.
1t is expected that these and others
will have their hands full in supply
ing the needs of the War Department
when the plans for the development
of the aerial service begin in earnest
