GERMANS HAVE

Press.y-The Germans are rapidly
making a radical change in their
methods of defense along the British
battle front in northern France and
Belgium. The continuous lines of won
derfully constructed forward trenches
with their deep dugouts, in which lived
n fought great numbers of men, are
fast passing into the discard.
The enemy is adopting the system
of scattering his advance forces over
ai great depth. Cunningly constructed
strongholds among the myriad of shell
holes along the front now conceal in
Vulnerable small and more or less iso-
lated g%arrisons Of men who formerly
fought shoulder to shoulder along
great stretches of picturesque bitches,
through which communication was not
broken for miles.
This alteration has been brought
about by the ever-increasing prepond-
erance of British artillery which has
buried the German front line trenches
under an avalanche Of shells and has
left the defenses nothing but heaped
burrows of earth and has made the
famous dugouts veritable mantgaps in
which countless thousands have lost
their lives without a chance of fight
ing back,
So it HAS come to be depth of de-
lenses upon which the Germans de

strength Of his first line trenches. The

The first German lines now consist
OF strong outposts concealed in shell
orators or copses, and a considerable
distance apart.
Back Of these outposts are chains
of shell-hole nests, each nest consist
ing Of two or three craters connected
by underground passages that often
lead to dugouts. AS the entire terri

stunned that the Germans figure 1t will

out the defended shell holes from the
