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

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes very clever Inn
provement the Germans have made In
their barbed-wire defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, Of course, but the Germans have
found better support for them. He
writes:
"After we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
It. shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
Job was done In a wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thoroughness.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, three-Quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times In the shape
OF great corkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like cork
puller into q cork. The straight part
Of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops in q
height Of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidly secured with short lengths Of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire out Of the eyes,
showed small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick, usncrewed it out Of the
ground, and then, reversing the proc
ess, screwed it in again. The advan-
tage Of this rod is obvious. When
she'll falls In the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken Off short they
always support the wire, and even
after a severe bombardment present a
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
by the shells, and when
broken off they let the wire fall fiat
to the ground"
