EACH DAY THE WAR
TEACHES ALESS0N
Soldiers, by Using Crater
Holes, Are Able to APP
proach the Enemy.
By Associated Press

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
June 2O-The western
front nowadays is marked by many
changing phases.
East Of bloody Mofchy le Preux on
the Arras battlefield and west Of
Warneton on the Messines battlefield
trench lines have been forsaken and
fighting is being carried on day and
night between large bodies of oppos-
ing troops lying out in the shell holes.
Some OF these holes blown by heavy
caliher guns are really enormous
craters in which two score of men
can establish and fortify themselves.
Use Shell Holes.
Shell holes lend themselves TO quick
conversion into machine gun emplace-
ments and those ghastly weapons
form the chief means of defense
The offensive weapons in shell-hole
warfare generally are hand grenades.
Shell holes are not easy targets for
artillery, whereas fixed trenches can
easily be photographed from airplanes
and the heavy guns can be registered
on them without great difficulty.
ticular desire to cling to the shell
holes as long as possible before re-
tiring to their fixed lines in the rear.
This is quite a change from their
ordinary habits, for heretofore they
have loved their deep dugouts in the
trenches with love that seldom
breaks with separation.
Afford Protection.
The manner of utilizing shell
craters is marvellous. Thousands or
men can take cover in these craters
yet from even the most forward OBJ
servation post the battlefield looks
absolutely empty. a considerable at
tack from shell-hole positions can be
watched without the realization that
desperate fighting Is In progress AL
ways there is noise from exploding
grenades, but these missiles are SO
small that thye cannot be seen in the
air from a distance Of three hundred
yards.
