-(CorresprndencG of the Associated

lines, some of which have been marvels
of underground construction, are be-
coming more and more frequently
death traps or tombs for their hap
less occupants. The trench raids which
go on nightly from one end of the
British lines to the other. are conduct
cd largely for the purpose of bombing
these subterranean chambers. No cs-
innate is possible for the number of the
enemy killed in this manner.
When khaki raiding party pounces
over the parapet of II German trench
in the dead of night. the first alarm
of their presence sends the defending
soldiers impulsvely in the direction
of their dugouts. Once inside, how
ever, their doom is sealed. There Is q
call for u surrender, a reasonable wait
and then down goes n bomb, and as
many more as may be necessary to
completely wreck the place and set II
on fire. There have been cases wher,
dugouts have been connected up by
tunnels and Germans have ESCAPED
through these. but generally speaking
