'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.

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 forecasting the nature of present-day warfare and explaining its technique with the simplicity of style possible only to a master -mind grasping the whole subject with thorough wider - standing and able to elucidate It to a child from a dozen different points of view, France's past greatness in war and her weakness through defeat are not like history to Foch; they are in- terwoven with his daily life, and while his big, raw-boned figure and large -featured face .seem fashioned Eur the rough life 'of the battlefield, I he i9 still the scholar as well as the soldier and a man of deep, intense 1 emotions.

Sir Robert Borden, on rising, said in part: "We are mooting_ here to -day under most unusual cir- cumstances, and in the shadow of a great calamlt, when we think 'of the appalling and most unfortunate event of last evening. We are apparently called upon to mourn the death of a brother member whose voice had been in the house of Commons only a few hours before the event occurred whit] drove us from the precincts of th building.

"But it is not alone his death which we have to mourn. Two ladies, who were the guests of the Speaker of this House, unfortunately perished in the same disaster. And this does not end the toll, because it is apparent from all that we can tern, that a very high ly esteemed officer of the House also lost his life. Mr. Laplante became an assistant clerk of the Ilotise very bbortly after I became a Member of Parliament, and it 15 not too much to Bay that the House of Commons never had a more capable, a more Indus - tricot: officer.

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- ed, as they gazed apprehensively at the landscape, grey and desolate. beneeth,the •leaden sky, were of the: Russian winter, wizen it would fall '•- arid .how ,long it would endure, Library Little Damaged "It is, I am sure, a very great satis- faction to all the members to know. that so little damage has been done to the Library.
