The most remarkable feat of marks

The tunnel under Mount Cornillet
was one Of the voritable masterpieces
of defensive organization which the

calculated to render the Mount alb

permanently the Germans strangle-
hold on Champagne.
The tunnel consisted OF three gal
leries which were united in the center
by a cross corridor. Several venti-
lating shafts extended upward 10 the
top Of the mountain and ventilation
was assured by handworked venti-
lators.
