Scattering Advance Forces


scattering his advance forces over a
great depth. Cunningly constructed
stronsholds along the myriad of shell
holes along the front now conceal in
Vulnerable small and more or less iso-
lated earrisons 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 growing preponder-
ance of British artillery which has
buried the German front line trenches
under an avalanche Of shells or has
left the defenses :.othing but heaped
piles Of earth and has rendered the ia >
nous dugouts, man traps in which
countless thousands have lost their
lives without a chance OF fighting
back
The continuous deluge Of breaking
steel made repair work on the trenches
impossible and as the Germans We're
gradually pushed back they of neces-
sity We're forced to. invent another
mode of stemming the ever advancing
tide. So it has come to be depth of de-
in many places rather than the
strength of his first line trenches
The recent allied offensive east and
north of Ypres disclosed many examples
of this new scheme of fighting which bids
fair to take the place of the tactics OF
the past three years.
