The fighting about Cernavoda for possession of the

Via Berlin and wireless to Sayville
Nov. l3.--Germany is defending the
Somme with buried artillery.
In their assaults the French and Brit.
ish are ATTACKING only the surface OF
the greatest Notifications in the world
Germany built O surprise for the al
lies in her wonderful series of artillery
proof Notifications. These defenscs arc

er such wide area that the allies are
today attacking with infantry, tanks
and artillery, are only on the outskirts

forts.
The bombardment is terrific. Fields

constantly exploding shells. But under.
ground nothing is touched. And II Is
from her sub-surface forts that Ger

party twice penetrated the shell area

II marked the first time since the
Somme battle began that a neutral has
been permitted to inspect this part OF
the underground Notifications con

Germany's Great System
of Underground Forts Is
Pronounced Lnpregnable

Although in approaching the front
we encountered seventeen lines OF
trenches and wire entanglements, the
Somme battle is no longer being de.
Tended from the trenches, but with
buried artillery.
For miles as we walked we passed
holes in the ground large enough for
men to crawl into.
Chain OF Buried Forts
These were entrenched to thousands
of underground forts which the Ger
mans have built in an endless chain.
The underground defenses vary in
depth from few feet to as much as
sixty feet.
No cannon yet invented can pene-
trate them. And this is the reason,
German officers explain, why the Eng
lish cannot. destroy the defense. Not a
house, a barn, or whole tree Is stand
ing in Achictlepctit. Our automobile
was halted en- route by soldiers cleaning
the road OF debris from the recent
bombardment. After passing through,
this village was again shelled. The
bombardment was SO terrific as to be
indescribable, The whistling Of shells
was continuous and the uncountable ex.
plosions shattered every one s nerves.
Our auto increased its speed, and
others whizzed by, one carrying the
remains Of the French aeroplanes.
We stopped at a ploughcd field

tered an underground battery. Above

DEAD MAN DROVE

INTO Open DRAW
Plunged Fourteen Passengers
Into Icy Waters Of

LITTLE GIRL AND TWO men
ARE RESCUED ALIVE
Driver Had Heart Disease and
Belief Is He Died As He
Drove On Bridge

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. I3.-That a
dead man drove possibly II people, GER
tainly nine, to their death on Saturday
night when George Smith sent the
crowded Ladner motor stage through
the open draw of the North Arm bridge
and plunged ear and freight into the
icy waters of the Frazer river is the
startling theory suggested today by ac-
auaintances of theichauffeur. Smith, it
is reported. suffered from heart disease,
and that his puiselhad suddenly ceased
is probably the only rational explana.
tion that will ever be given of his act
in rushing his vehicle onto the bridge
with the warning red lights shining
clear against him. Smith knew the road
and the bridge perfectly and was ac-
counted very safe and careful driver.
His car was apparently under control
and it is incredible that, if still alive
and conscious he should have failed to
pull up when he saw the signals.
The stage was making its evening trip
toward Vancouver wheli the accident
occurred. At first Il was reported that
lit carried II pasg,ngers but today the
number is placests . II. When the stage
REACHED the bridge at.7 p. M. the draw
was open to let a tug through and the
barricade, made OF steel bars and stout
wire uetting, was closed and padlocked.
Regardless of the red lights on, the bar.
lricade the stage moved rapidly forward,
broke through and diyed straight into
the river-bclow. OF the passengers a
| little girl, Muriel Evans, and two men
were rescued alive, seven bodies, includ.
