Have 10000 Miles Of Trenches

London, Jan. There are at
least ten thousand miles Of
trenches now in the western thea
tier of the European war, accord
ing to II. Warner Allen, special
correspondent of the British press
with the French army. He
writes:
In the section of the French
lines that have just been visit
ing there are already, on front
of ten miles, more than 1884 miles
OF trenches. Forty-six miles Of
other trenches are being dug, so
that by the end of the year there
will be in that neighborhood $50
miles of trenches on ten miles of
front.
Elsewhere certain division
has $50 miles of trenches to look
after, while a certain corps
d'armee has $50 miles. Taking
these figures into consideration,
one. will certainly be under the
mark in estimating that there are
twenty miles Of trenches to every
mile OF front, so that between
Switzerland and the North, Sea
the British and French armies
have at least ten thousand miles
Of trenches to guard and keep in
order"

ors themselves do not know. It
seems to be well settled, however,
that the building will not be com
pleted July l, 1916. The commits
sioners are of the opinion that it
will be late this year or probably
early in 1917 before the building
is accepted from the contractors.
The contractors said last spring
that they would have the build
ing proper inclosed by cold
weather, and as the heating plant
was installed several months ago
they could proceed during cold
weather with the interior and fin
ishing work. They were mistak-
en- in their calculations. just now
the workmen are putting in the
tile walls, marking the extent of
the various rooms, and this will
keep them busy for some weeks.
