'A British military writer 'describes
the manner in which the Germans
construct and defend their trenches.
One method consists in disposing the,
trenches in such a fashion that each
one is shorter than the one in front
of it. In this way they make a series
of triangles, touching each other,
with the bases turued towards us and
forming the front. The empty spaees
between these triangles form re-
versed triangles.
When, in the course of a bayonet
charge, some units find themselves
gvercoming cunningly accumulated
obstacles, other units find themselves
confronted with empty spaces. Car-
ried away by their excitement the
troops press on and get far in ad-
vance of the other columns. The at-
tack thus becomes cut up and broken
into ztg-zags. Behind the empty
spaces the, Germans place machine
guns, and when the attack is well in-
side and finds no resistance, and hesi-
tates, fearing an ambuscade, the Ger-
man quick firers open a deadly Ore
into the masses.

WOULD -PLEASE THE FRENCH
Gordon Observer Quotes Military
Men as Approving the Proposal
That Brilliant French Strate-
gist Should Cowniand
British Army in France
, Foch's Career.
THE suggestion that General
Foch, the brilliant French
commander, he put is
charge of the British forces
on the continent, is one of
the most widely discussed topics in
Britain at the present moment.
Strangely enough, the comment is by
no means unfavorable
The London .Observer says in an
editorial that the proposal is ap-,
proved by many competent British
officers. The paper argues that it
would be a picturesque and stirring
stroke, which would hatter France
and at the same time not wound
British pride any more than British
command of the seas injures the
pride of Britain's allies.
The Observer suggests that if the
plan is not adopted it will be neces-
sary to weed out the British army
vigorously, reducing the average age
of generals by five to ten years. With
the application of the principles
GENERAL POCK.
which have given the navy its effi-
ciency, the paper says, it will be pos-
sible to create a competent staff
among the younger officers.
Gen. Ferdinand Foch is the com-
mander of the French armies of the
north, whose line adjoins that occu-
pied by the British forces, He' has
achieved a reputation for ability se-
cond only to that of General Joffre
himself,
Gen. Foch is regarded by many as
the nation's greatest military figure.
A year and a half ago his rank was
that of commandant of an army
corps, one of twenty. He Is now the
man who is primarily responsible for
the execution of all the plans of the
Generalissimo, and who 18 considered
by the allies at France to be deserv-
ing of an equal share of commenda-
tion and appreciation for the unex-
pected strength and vitality Of
France's "people's army." In De-
cember of last year Icing George of
England visited the headquarters
near Bordeaux to bestow the Grand
Cross of the Order of the Bath upon
Gen, Softie and Gen. Foch, the high-
est distinction the English Ring can
give to any general as a reward for
purely military services,
Like Lord Roberts in England,
Poch had beep preaching the -neces-
sity of preparation for war, hammer-
ing it into the heads of his students
at the Ecode de Guerre, where Clem-
enceau, the atheist Radical, when
Prime Minister, appointed him as Di-
rector without Foch' having made the
application. Clemenceau knew, what
he was about, for Foch's books on
strategy were known to military men
all over the world, and the great am-
munition factories at Crousot had
been put into readiness for the na-
tion's defense through Foch's sug-
gestions, His "Principles of War" is
a text-book"written years ago, but

warfare and explaining its technique

only to a master -mind grasping the

child from a dozen different points of

and her weakness through defeat are
not like history to Foch; they are in-

GERMANS FEAR WINTER.
Spectre of 1812 Stares Invaders hs
the Face.
When Russia capitalizes her clime
ate, her geography, and the tempera-
] meat of her people, she commands a
military asset which promises to
a prove a barrier against which the hu-
• man,me0hanism of the Germans, with
all its protection of machinery and
efileiency, will wreck itself, writes
Stanley Washburn from Petrograd.
In traveling here from Moscow by
motor I purposely covered many back
roads in order to question the peas-
ants so that 1' might form some con-
clusions as to whether the war was
really backed`by the people them-
selves. On the high roads I passed,
without exaggeration, about 100,000
refugees, and. have questioned great
numbers of these poor people as to
their opinion of the war and its out-
come.
In one town there were camped
83,000 refugees. Practically all of
them had abandoned their homes be-
fore the German invasion, and the
majority accepted their lot absolutely
without complaint, recognizing that
it was a necessary incident to a mili-
tary move designed to impede the
enemy and delay his advance.
The Russian Government is strain-
ing every nerve to relieve the condi-
tion of these refugees, preparing
shelters all along the highways. It is
estimated that the refugees number
approximately 2,000,000. The task of
the Government has been greatly
lightened by the docility and patience
of the peasants, whose behavior has
been absolutely perfect in their hour
of misery and hardship.
Already the nip of coming winter
is in the air, and the spectre of 1812
leers behind every German soldier
to -day. When a group of German
prisoners was met on the road march-
ing eastwards the first guestione ask-
