ous pill-boXes for machine guns and, in fact. every device the Germans have been able to assemble to block the way to Germany.
 Near BullecOurt was a formidable underground fertilization known as the Tunnel Trench" which the Ger mans believed to be impregnable. This tunnel connecting the trenches was more than a mile long and was mined for its whole length. lighted with electricity and had entrances at short intervals. It was reinforced by concrete pill-bOXes and support trenches. The British captured it in November, 1917.
 Below GraincOurt the British troops found great catacombs along the Hin denburg line. These were elaborate ly fitted up as battalion headquarters, electrically lighted and protected by concrete trenches. In front of Cam brai, the villages, behind the line and beneath them great chambers which it would be a sander to call dugOuts. They were more like hotels, fitted with electricity, water, sewers, drying rooms and kitchens. They were shell proof and bomb proof. The trenches there were built along the banks of the canal Du Nord which runs north and south near Havrincourt.
 Important German strong-holds pro tect the southern section Of the fine near La Fere. The forest of St. Co., bain presents an almost insuperable obstacmle in attacking this end of the line.
 Laon, lying within the Big Corner where the line turns eastward along the Chemin Des Danes is regarded as the keystone of the whole German system. Hundreds of German batter ies were installed in the screened ra- vines around that city and in the for ests of St. GObain.
 Southwest of LaOn the town was protected by Massif of Menamptuil be- hind whose crest are huge under ground ravines and shelters some big enough to hold a whole regiment The forest west Of Laon vas crammed with a vast store Of munitions ana materials. Divisions of troops could concentrate in it unseen.
 Recently the Germans discovered that the biz dugOuts along the Hiuden- burg line were nothing but death traps. An crder by the German di- visional commander forbade the Ger man troops to occupy dugouts which descend more than eight steps under ground.
 Behind the Hindenburg line the Ger mans are credited with three other lines of defenses.

LONDON, Oct. 3-DescTibing the rescue of a contingent Of Americans, who had been cut off for two days from their comrades in an advanced position between Cambrai and St. Quentin, the Mails correspondent at British headquarters says 1t was enc of the most dramatic incidents of the war.
 The Americans rushed forward with too high courage on Sunday, the cor respondent writes, and became com pletely and very deeply encrcled. There they remained until Tuesday when a British unit forced it's way across the canal and released them.
