EUROPEAN WAR IS
MACHINE MADE
BY William PhiIin Simms

| ~ NHAiNh uttAf PAulWS
With the British army in France,
Dec, l5.-This is a machine war, One
realizes this more as winter swamps
the earth with mud and wet. The
purely human element is balked but
the machines keep war grinding ON
The infantry cannot march-but auto
busses shunt the men back and forth
like magic. The scouts are almost
paralyzed--but aeroplanes defy the
elements, The soldiers cannot pass
the mud holes between their line and
the enemy and stick to trench work
and trench mortars all day, So. when
the communiQue reads: There Is
nothing to report" It does not mean
the front is silent. for the machine
fighting never ceases,
Just now one of the wettest. chill
lest, dreariest snowfalls on record
seems bent upon ushering In a cor
respondingly soggy winter. Huge
flakes of snow. resembling mons
rous goose feathers and completely
arresting aerial operations at times.
limit the vision to scarcely u hundred
yards.
But artillery and trench warfare
goes on. Nothing stops this. The
worst possible weather can only cause
slowing up. Even when the snow
and rain and fog prevent all attempts
at observation. there are always many
chart prints against which the ar
tillery hammers. The trench mortar
men have the exact range of the enc
my trenches in front.
The freezing weather and thaws
are very damaging to trenches which
have tendency to crumble and cave
in. Thus II is the British Tommy's
idea to keep the mortar's busy. as
few projectiles are wasted. Even II
there are no losses among the enc
my. his trenches are usually damaged,
the soft condition of earth rendering
explosions doubly effective.
Though the air activity was stop
ped in this part of the line during
snow storm. the fact yet remains
that the weather seldom completely
suppresses the everlasting alert air
men. Yesterday it. drizzled almost
all day and clouds seemed at times
to be resting in the tree tops. The
day was dark and forbidding. Never
theless there were many war planes
abroad and at least one German ma
chine was brought down in thrilling
battle near Arras.
Through tempests OF winds, rains
and icy blasts. the airmen got aloft
stopping only when 1t was impossible
to see.
