watches. being essential for officers,
brought them quickly to the fore. and
civilians have been rushing to buy
them. in many instances selling their
watches and chains to buy the handler

So with links. The soft double cuff,
which was such nuisance to get them
into, began their downfall and then
khaki shirts made to button at the

Fortress of verdun Like Modern City


The fortress of Verdun, which was
built by Napoleon, but was modcrnized
and rebuilt during 1SS2-1S90. now has
all the conveniences of a modern city,
says Hamilton Holt in an article on
"Verdun, the Greatest Battlefield" in
Independent. 1t is electrically lighted
and there is enough electricity
generated in addition to what the cit
adel needs to supply the whole city
of Verdun If necessary. 1t has nearly
five miles of gallery. 1t boasts of a
mill that makes the bread, and store
houses sufficient to hold. the food re-
serves for 10000 people six months. 1t
is II meters under the solid rock and
Is practically shell proof. Nerdun itself
Is above 1t. During the bombardment
of 1915-1916 the heaviest shells
cracked the roof in places and the
water leaked through here and there,
but there is no danger of its being
demolished by any guns now in use.
The excavated city is down about the
level of the Meuse river, which runs
through the town, and there Is in con-
sequence an elaborate pumping sys-
TEN installed in case of any flooding.
