TEUTON DEFENSE WEAKENING.
Germans Making Radical Changes in
Their Methods in France and Belgium.

HSAi hNhAO0o w GiSC anu OClJi0Ul
London.-The beginning of the
fourth year of the war finds the Ger
mans rapidly making a radical change
in their methods of defense along the
France and Belgium. The continuous
lines of wonderfully constructed foi.
ward trenches with their deep dug
outs. in which lived and fought great
numbers of men, are fast passing into
the discard.
The enemy is adopting the system
of scattering his advance forces over
a great depth. Cunningly constructed
strongholds among the shell-holes now
conceal innumerable small and more
or less isolated garrisons of men who
formerly fought shoulder TO shoulder
along great stretches of picturesque
land. through which communication
was not broken for miles.
This alteration has been brought
about by the ever-growing preponder-
ance OF British artillery which has
buried the German front line trench
es under an avalanche of shells and
has left the defenses nothing but
heaped burrows of earth and has made
the famous dugouts veritable man
traps in which countless thousands
have lost their lives without chance
OF fighting back.
The continuous deluge of breaking
steel made repair work on the trench
es impossible and as the Germans
were gradually pushed back they, of
necessity. were forced to invent an
other mode of stemming the ever-ad-
vancing tide.
