BRUNSWICK, GA, September IL
Active operations are in progress at

trees are allowed to develop for several
months, when the citrus trifolitia is
cut away, leaving the Satsuma stock
ready to be marketed by the nursery
man.

CANADIANS LEAD
NOVEL TRENCH RAIDS
Succeed in Capturing Many Pris.
oners and Wrecking Miles
of Fortifications
(Associated Press)

(From a staff correspondent of the
Associated Press.)
With the British armies in France,
via London, Feb. 15.--The past 30
hours have witnessed three of the
British raids which are carried out
daily and nightly with the object OF
making life unbearable to the &c,
mans in the French line of trenches.
Two Of the raids were conducted by
Canadians, who really invented the
practice of trench raiding which has
now spread throughout the British
army.
These raids, added to the steady
progress by the British on both sides
of the Ancre, are evidence that the
coolest weather Of the war on this
front has not stopped the constant
worrying pressure which the British
seek to exert on the Germans.
Keep up Defensive.
Old soldiers say that there is moth
ing quite so valuable as these minor
operations for keeping the troops in
fighting trim, while nothing is so de-
pressing and injurious to morale as
the defensive conduct which the Ger.
mans have endured all winter, op-
posite the British lines.
In this respect, the British are very
unlike the French in their methods
of winter war. General ,Haig's policy
has been one Of sunceasing lombard
ment punctuated ! BY daily raids and
minor attacks, tactics which have
brought in constant stream of, pris-
oners and inflicted heavy toll Of cas-
ualties on the Germans. The French,
on the other hand, prefer lying quiet
in their trenches for long periods and
then attacking suddenly on a wide
front in sharp, fierce combat.
The Eittish have noi't same ap-
probation of the drastic as the
French, but believe implicitly in the
efficiency of the steady grinding
down process which they are carry
ing out.
{ Capture AZ Prisoners.
In their biggest rard the Canadians
captured Al prisoners of the 18th Ba-
varians, who only came into the line
Yesterday. The sCanadians remained
in the German, trenches for more than
an hour, and left them completely
wrecked. Their most important work,
probably, was the blowing in of four
mine, shafts by which they sealed in
living tombs scores Of Germans who
were tunneling toward the British
line. The Germans tried to cut off
the Canadians with a double barrage
fire, and then attacked, but they only
succeeded in inficting few casual
ties.
