FRENCH ARMY'S Underground CAMP FOUND
COMFORTABLE. Safely WAR correspondent

10 the unit may attend immediately 10 any
wounded man brought in from the near
by battlefield.
So well are the shelters protected from
the view Of the enemy that. although in
many Instances the underground lodging
covers an area of 5000 square yards, not
once IN the course of the past year has
one of them been destroyed by the enc
my's fire. They have many exits, the
plan being 10 provide one for each section
or quarter company, 80 that IN IN case one
exit should he hit and blocked, the men
inside may escape through another open
ing.
At the beginning of the war the oldiers
actually III the fighting line made their
own shelters. which were Just holes dug in
the ground and covered with three-trunks
and earth and %affording very little ,protec-
ton. besides taking mp much of the time
of the soldiers and costing very mIc.. Ia
Dor and money for tran porting the nee
cssary timber.
Ii was then decided 10 utilize the older
classes OF the reserve of the territorial ar
my who had been called To the colors and
who, despite their previous military train
ing. had been found unable To bear the
strain OF campaigning. Several compa-
MES OF them were formed and they were
first given the task of constructing shell
tiers IN the Somme district and around
Nerdun. Their officers were chosen form
the engineer corps and from men who in
civil life were engaged in similar under
takingS, such a. builders and miners. Most
of the men were peasants used 10 digging
in the fields and their work was very sat
isiactory. but this kind IL excayatin.
work was different and they suffered con
siderabiy from the unusual motion Of hav-
ing 10 throw the earth upward, or wheel;
ing II IN barrow- up steep lncline~.
One III the Officers overcame this irving
difficulty by inventing an apparatus tor
carrying l%oo~cned earth or rock Ia the sur
face by nSt of electric power. By this ar
Management two men can do the work for
merry done ny ten. When the earth hs
reached the surface il falls into barrow.

FRENCH FRONT, Aug. 20.-DozenS of
divisions of the French army now sleep
underground in comparative comfort. even
in the front lines when the Germans are
hurting tens OF thousands of shells on the
ground above them. thanks 10 the work
of the companies of excavators formed
since the beginning of the war. TIL men
chosen 10 construct these shelters, which
have preserved so many thousands of
hives, are soldiers whose age varies be-
tween forty-five and fifty and who would
nave been unfit 10 take part in the active
operations of modern battles, where quick
ness Of movement and litheness of liml,
are absolute necessities. No matter what
the nature of the soil. whether hard rock
quick->and, chalk or marshy land. these
veterans have overcome all the difficulties
and have succeeded in constructing for
midiable bomb-proof shelters all along the
line of the front from the North Sea 10
the Swiss frontier until AT the present mo-
ment any fighting unit. arriving at almost
any part of the line finds n habitable dug
out awaiting IT.
The correspondent of the Associated,
Press has seen and been inside dozen.
of these subterranean cities-for such
they may be termed-at MANY places
and, even where all the natural conditions
are difficult, has found the shelters com
modious, well drained and well ventilated.
In some eases a battalion finds accommo
dation IN n single shelter. and each mar.
lodged in IFS is provided with a simple
bed consisting of a wire netting founda-
ton supported by wooden uprights. On.
this the soldier lays his regulation bundle
OF straw and. covering himself with his
army blanket ana greatcoat. can sleep
with freedom from anxiety a. IL any bonn
bardment IN progress outside. The shell
tiers are provided generally with electric
hight or acetylene lamps, sanitary cony,n-
fences. and. in some eases. with connie,
shower baths.
