Of his fellow policemen. "Once when
some one asked him something about
himself, he casually mentioned the
fact that he was the son OF General |
Breckenridge, and then went on to |
his work. We do not know why such |

get him to ask any personal ques-

On this preliminary line, the Germans
have changed their defense tactics.
Having seen how the terrific British
artillery fire pulverizes carefully con
slructed trench works, the enemy is APP
parently not attempting the use of the
elaborate underground systems as form

OF the German army such a penetration
