A LITTLE WAY BACK E.

4. Still further back, and care
fully screened on convenient hill
sides are the secondary heavy
defenses, spaced well apart, less
than one TO every 20 miles or
more, containing veritable ar
senals and complete electric
power plants. They are linked by
tunnels and protected by anti
aircraft guns, anti-gas apparatus.
Within are three to a dozen bat
teries a guns Of 10, II, or 16-
inch cannon. These modern-day
guns have a range of 20 to 25
miles, and their accuracy up to 10
miles is uncanny.
5. Still further back are the
major heavy Notifications, such
great forts as Verdun, Metz and
Belfort, on the French side, and
Aaachen, Hunsruch, and Kaiser
stuhl on the German side. Around
them, interspersed all along the
line at the rear are anti-aircraft
batteries and underground aviation
fields.
That's the stuff the western
front is made of-and it's tough.
Most experts agree that the
French Maginot line is far better
than the German Siegfried line,
but they don't like the locks OF
either for attacking purposes.

lines are composed of pillboxes,
barbed wire, and proTuding tank
traps. The pillboxes are about
four to six feet square-or round
accommodating two to four men
armed with machine guns an d
automatic rifles. They open en-
filade fire on the enemy, which
means criss-cross of bullets
each pillbox protecting its neigh
Dor against assault, and shooting
straight ahead as well. A half
dozen lines of pillboXes, each line
a mile apart, and all connected
by trenches and telephone, pro-
vides a whitening pattern of fire
six miles deep.
3. Back of the pillboXes are the
so-called Block-forts, some 10 to
II feet square-or round, or oblong
-four to six to the mile, and cam
ouflaged as villas and farm houses.
Like the pillboxxes, they are made
of concrete and steel, and con-
nected by tunnels or trenches, thick
with machine guns. Prepared to
meet the enemy with enfilade fire,

more tragic figure than the general
who had lost 100000 men-and failed
to win his battle. The effect on the
morale of the people on the home
front would be almost disastrous.
These are the reasons why you
have heard so much speculation
that the Franco-British alliance
were seeking another way around
before they really got going. That's
why military men are wondering
about little Belgium and the Neither
lands again, and Switzerland. Out
Thanking the enemy is an old mill

assume that the Franco-British dip

to assume they are not attending to
their business.

to 40 miles, depending on the
type of terrain they are defending.
In the mountains of the Black For

about the coolies. Coolies were a
