Seven Englishmen Bring Back
72 German Prisoners From
Raid on Two Strong Redoubts

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 19.--The defenses within
Lens and suburbs are striking ex-
amples of the German tendency to de-
pend more and more upon large num-
bers of isolated garrisons rather than
to mass their men in trenches, where
they would be at the mercy of the
British artillery. Lens is city of con-
crete and the ground beneath Is hon
eycombed with tunnels. Almost every
building has been destroyed by the
Germans and the ruins have been
fortified with machine gun emplace-
ments.
Cool Nerve Succeeds.
So long as the Germans remain on
the defensive 1t is improbable that
they will return to the methods Of
warfare inaugurated when they swept
forward and were pushing the allies
hard. The fighting among these new
German defenses has given rise to
many thrilling incidents. In the bat
tie about Langemarck' on the opening
of the latest offensive young Off
Ger and 20 Somerset men had got
through Langemarck and were forg
ing ahead along the road to the north

TEuTONS ANTAGONISTIC
TO POPE'S PEACE NOTE

Copenhagen. Aug. 19.-The pope's
peace proposal now is being dragged
into the field of party politics in Ger
many and made the subject of conten-
ton between the pan German an
nexationists and advocates of a mod
crate peace.
George Bernhard In the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung says the pope's
action had cleared up one of the
mysteries connected with Matthias
Erzberger's recent peace campaign in
the reichstag and the adoption in the
reichstag Of his resolution was to pave
the way for the pope's note.
Vienna dispatches. say the govern
ment newspapers, declare emphatical-
ly that 1t is impossible to cede foot
of soil to Italy, but otherwise little
vehement objection to the popes note
is heard from Austria.
Count Won Reventlow in the Tages
Zeitung continues his cynical discus
sions of German policy. He avows,
in reference to the pope's phrase on
the substitution of the moral power of
justice for might OF arms, that the
moral law exists for the Germans only,
so far as II applies to the German en-
pire and nation. The writer says the
Germans cannot consent to a reduc-
tion of armaments which alone have
made possible the existence Of the em-
pire and the possibility Of its moral
activities.
Count Won Reventlow adds that
Germany cannot bear her own war
burdens and that therefore she can
not renounce indemnities and that
guarantees for Belgium's indepen-
dence cannot be found. He also says
that the carrying out of the papal
program would mean an end to the
middle European alliance and Ger
many's ruin.

when they encountered two strong
concrete redoubts, one behind the
other, which were still firing into the
town. The Somersets surrounded the
first redoubt and although under a
cruel fire assaulted 1t with bombs and
machine guns forced the garrison Of
thirty Germans to surrender. They
then started for the second redoubt.
One by one they fell and when final

pick out the defended shell holes
from the thousands OF others scatte :
ed about.
Where time has allowed, the Ger
mans have made the shell hole de-
lenses with elaborate care Each nes.
is heavily protected by barbed wire
and the chambers beneath are REIN
forced with timbers and concrete. In
these the infantry lurk with machine
guns and rifles, ready to rush out and
begin firing If an attack is launched
against them.
Have Underground Exits.
Many of the shell hole nests have
rear exits underground which lead
back to what is called the first fire
line A few yards behind the shell
hole nests and situated half way be-
tween them are machine gun emplace-
ments which command the opening
between the nests. Thus if the at
tacking troops force their way
through the nests they are met by a
deluge of machine gun bullets. Still
further TO the rear is the first fire
line, which may be some sort Of
trench or merely chain of shell holes
connected to form more or less solid
front, Even reserve troops are often
sheltered in the shell holes.
Villages Avoided.
The villages which present an easy
mark to the British artillery are being
avoided by the Germans. An illustra-
tlon of this was to be seen at Lange-
marck. The defenses about that place
We're most complete, but when once
the British battered their way into
Langemarck they found very few
troops defending 1t.
Back of all this deep front the Ger
mans undoubtedly have continued to
employ the old system of trenches, but
should the advance of the allies cor.
tinue these in turn will unquesGon-
ably give way to the shell hole sys.

adNs ntage of every farm house in the
construction of strong eoncrerc re-
doubts for machine guns In mary

SHIPPED From Rear.
A number of these strongholds are
built entirely underground, the, only
exit being through steel trapdoor, by
means of which the Germans come
out to set up machine guns A large
number of these redoubts have been
found t., the east and north of Ypres
and the territory over which the
French4fought to the left was mainly
defended in this way, 1nnumerable
cases happened where the advancing
allies swept beyond the Germans con-
cealed In shell holes or in concrete
dugouts. Invariably the British have
to put up with sniping from the rear
but ultimately they account for every
German who has remained behind.

BRITISH Front in France and Bel
gum, Aug. 19.-The beginning of the
fourth year Of the war finds the Ger
mans rapidly making radical
change In their methods of defense
along the British battle front in north g.
ern France and Belgium. The contin-
uous lines of wonderfully constructed
forward trenches with their deep dug
outs in which lived and fought great
numbers of men, are fast passing into
the discard.
The enemy is adopting the system
of scattering his advance forces over
q great depth. Cunningly constructed
strongholds among the shell holes now
conceal innumerable small and mere
or less isolated garrisons of men who
formerly fought shoulder to shoulder
along great stretches or picturesque
ditch through which communication
was not broken for miles.
Dugouts Merely Man Traps.
This alteration has been brought
about by the ever growing preponder-
ance of British artillery which has
buried the German front line trenches
under an avalanche of shells and has
left the defenses nothing but heaped
burrows of earth and has made the
famous dugouts veritable man traps
in which countless thousands have
lost their lives without a chance of
fighting back.
The continuous deluge of breaking
steel made repair WORK on the trench
es impossible and as the Germans
were gradually pushed back they
Of necessity were forced to invent
another mode of stemming the ever
advancing tide.
New Scheme Adopted.
SO it has come to be depth of de-
fenses upon which the Germans de-
pend in many places rather than the
strength of their first line trenches
The recent allied offensive east and
north of Ypres disclosed many ex-
ampfes of this new scheme of fighting
which bids fair to take the place of
the tactics of the last three years.
Wherever the German front line
trenches have been made untenable or
where a British attack Is expected
one finds the new order Of things. Tile
first German lines now often consist
Of strong outposts concealed in shell
craters or copses and a considerable
distance apart.
Shell Holes Fortified.
Back of these outposts are chains
of shell hole nests, each nest consist
ing of two or three craters connected
by underground passages that often
lead to dugouts. AS the entire terri
tory is pitted with holes. this is easy
OF accomplishment and it may be pre-
sumed that the Germans figure It will
be hard for the allied observers to

OF the lumber workers is the eight
hour day and sanitary, conditions in
the camps. We do not know of any
reason why we should be arrested and
detained, or why our hall should be
closed, as we are not breaking any
law. We are not unpatriotic. Our
principal demand is for the eight
hour day, which has been adopted as
standard by the United States govern
ment on all government work.
There is nothing unlawful about
demanding clean and sanitary condi-
tons in camps. The things we de-
mand and have gone on strike for are
the things which would t.e beneficial
not only to ourselves but the whole of
society and tend to put the nation on
more secure foundation.
Not Financed by Kaiser.
I'VE have been accused of being un-
patriotic and working against the

also has been stated the lumber work
er strikers have been financed by Ger

true. The money which supports the
lumber workers strike has been con-
tributed by the working class from
all over this country and some from
workingmen of other countries, but
we have not yet got any from the
kaiser.
We do not stand for the destruc-
ton of property We have no wish
to burn up the forests Or to burn the
crops. All we ask is decent conditions
TO live under and work under We
court investigation. We demand that
this strike and this organization be
