It is an underground defence that will have whole cities and a population of hundreds of thousands, hospitals, barracks and stores in the depths of the earth. The forts, located in secret places 'and equipped with a new type of (artillery, the most powerful that mod- ern research has produced, -will con- stitute France's main defence in the, 'next war. This ne wsystem of defence has practically been completed. Con- Istruction has gone on uninterruptedly since peace was declared, practically, unknown to the bulk of the popula- tion. Marshal Foch is the creator of this new system. When it has finally been approved and tested by a series and tactical and practical manoeu- vres the marshal intends to resign from the .d•irectorship of the Supreme War Council. Though the legation of the fort circles will remain a secret rigidly guarded by the General Staff, this much is certain that the story of a stupendous concrete trench running all the way from the North Sea to the Swiss border, which popular imagina- tion had conjured up, is a myth. NEW FORTS INVISIBLE. France will rely on nothing so ob- viously tangible and visible as a con- crete ditch. The new forts are invis- ible and only the General Staff knows their location. The troops that have worked on them were sworn to sec- recy and labored in monthly batches. None of the soldiers knew in what part of France he was. They were held in barracks and were not allowed to communicate with peasants in the neighborhood, receive or send letters.

JOHN, N,©., 7oaoNTo 13 bankruptcy through a financial crisis last year, the work of building, the forts has never ceased. It was the first requisite of peace the high mili- tary command considered and nothing was to interrupt or obstruct the work. Not lentil these forts were completed could) France seriously consider the evacuation of the Rhineland. Left without assurances of security from Britain and the United States and with only Belgium as a constant ally, "es she was in the first hour," mili- tary authorities insisted that the forts be built and that France rely on her own resources to ward off an enemy invasion in the future. The high military command was of the opinion that there have been enough invasions. If . war should come again the enemy must stay out- side. A repetition of 1914, when the most industrial part of the country was laid waste and national effort handicapped by the cutting off of the whole north had to be prevented. The general staff is of the opinion that the remedy has been found and that the new system will ward off any attack, by land or by air. PLAN DATES FROM 1914. The ngw plan is not wholly new. It dates from 1914. Even then it be- came obvious that the old system of fortifications, bastions, walls, bul- warks and defence works was useless. The French watched with alarm as the forts of Liege crumbled to pieces under the German siege guns. One. shot went over, the second• went short and the third generally hit. The first two shots were fired to find the exact range. The remarkable accuracy of , the German gunners and the destruc- i tive power of their guns made of the forts a ridiculous anomaly. In some instances the motto of the German artillery became "Ons shot one fort " consent to talk about a reduction in the terns M enlist1nent forsoldiers and that Marshal Foch will take Some rest, after being in harness continu- ally since 1914. A staff of the ab'est engineers has been at work picking out spots where other points of resistance may be built up and linked with the •general. system. There has been nothing fev- erish or hasty in the preparation; everything has been conducted along scientific lines with the utmost care and after .eonsiderable consultation,, The next war will see' France de- fend itself with these underground cities. They are so constructed that they will be able to hold out inde- pendently for a great length of time. Neither man power nor munitions will lack, for there will be concen- trations of troops in the depths of the earth—regiments and divisions of 1 them—and they will have the im- mense stores that are being gathered in peace time to draw upon. It is the greatest experiment in the history of defence. Every French- man hopes that it never will be nec- essary to use it. But at any rate, official France feels secure. "Ils ne passeront pas!" HOW ABOUT GAS? Such is the report in a ,recent copy of The Mail & Empiee,-but the first thing that strikes one who has "ground -hogged!' it In France during the Great • War is "How about gas attacks?" Poison gas is heavier than air and always searched out the dug -out, the funk hole, and the trench bottom. If France has solved how to counteract this menace then the new plan is fine, but so vivid is the memory of the smell of the viti- ated air of the various "caves" along Vimy Ridge brought to mind that one wonders just how greater under- ground workings can be safely ven- tilated to assure the security indi- cated in the above article.

Ivbaubeuge was considered impregnable, The forts were of different 'make iip to those of Liege. Hopes ran high for a dray or so, but no longer. Maubeuge fell after three days, its forts smashed out of existence. At Antwerp the lesson had been learned. Forts were useless. So the Belgian army simply blew them up itself, saving its garrison frons being exterminated by the enemy. . THEY SHALL NOT PASS! DURING HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small children. Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentry, colic and stomach troubles are rife 'at this time and often a pre- cious little life is lost after only a few hours illness. The mother who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The occasional use of the Tablets prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if trouble comes sudden- ly—as it generally does—the Tablets wil bring the baby safely through, They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Verdun was the first decisive test of the new or invisible fort system.,` Not all the forts were built according to the new scheme, but some were and these were the ones that resisted best and checker) what the Ifaiser called "Thr` Kolossal attack." As the enemy aclVaneed over open ground, the hori- zon would suddenly show a row of powerful cannon. These guns ran on spirals and suddenly fired their de- structive salvos. Then they just as suddenly disappeared again under ground, only to appear a few seconds later. Stores of ammunition were hseld underground. It was only when the forts became isolated and the muni- tions ran out that the Germans could advance and 'engage the garrisons in the terrific hand-to-hand engagements that marked that epochal battle.

Finds Herself Weak and predated, why not try to explain so Feeling Worts -Out The nursing mother more than any other woman needs rich blood and plenty`of it. The demands upon her health are many and severe. House- hold duties and the care of her child- ren exact heavy toll, while hurried meals,+ broken rest and indoor living tend to weaken her. No wonder she is often indisposed through weakness, headaches, backaches and nervous - nese. In this condition the blood will always be found .weak and watery, and relief will come only through en- riching the blood. For this purpose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the best blood -making tonic known. Through their use many weak, ailing wives and mothers have found new health and strength. As . an example of this Mrs. Sarah Cortez, Ellenstown, N,B., says:—"While nursing my baby I be- came run-down, very weals and nerv- ous. My head ached all the time and I was not able to do my work. I had • often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began using them, and what a blessing they proved. Before I had used a half dozen boxes I felt like a new person and by their continued use for a while I was entirely restor- ed to my former health and strength. I take pleasure in recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to everyone out - tering as I did." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co•, Brockville, Ont. "Because I Tell You to" ' Ethel Peterson. Point of View.

"I • have had so many troubles, my dear, that this year I have grown six months older.""—fele Mele (Paris). He was about four, I should judge; and had come down -town with his mother on the street car. As they got off, he spied one of those ma- chiines that hold balls of gum, wrap- ped in black, red and yellow. You de- posit a cent, push a rod and—lo and behold!—as if by magic a ball of gum drops out into your hand. Can't you see how fascinating it might be to a child? The little chap rushed toward it, crying, "Mama, please give me a pen- ny; I want some gum." • "No!" returned Mother, walking right along briskly. Perforce her son had to follow, but tearfully he persisted, "Mama, cant I have just one?" To which his mother replied brus- quely; "I said, No!" and started across the street with the boy wailing lustily beside her. - Well, maybe Mother didn't have a penny, or possibly she didn't approve of the gum habit for small boys, .pr she night have been in a great hurry to accomplish her shopping and get back again. But just thick back to the days when you were a child— what would such.a sbort, brusque de- nial as, "I said, 'No!' have done to your emotions? Wouldn't you have felt injured and rebellious? Even now, with an adult consciousness, how do you react when some one makes a short, dogmatic statement, without proof, in refutation of your opinion? It doesn't "set well", does it? My mother invariably when 1 press- ed her as to an adequate reason for her insistence on my doing something I I did not want to do said, "Because I tell you to." For her that ended the matter, and many a scolding I re- ceived because 1 sulked afterwards. But to my childish mind it diel not seem a sufficient reason for having to do something that I disliked. Now, I would apply the word "arbitrary" to such a statement, and though my vo- cabulary did not then contain that word, my thought was the same. I noticed another arbitrary mother on : a street car the other day. She ordered her little daughter to come and sit by her. The child was sitting quietly right across the aisle, looking out of the window, and the car hacl few people in it: The child evidently enjoyed being alone—perhaps playing that she was going shopping by her- self. filer brow clouded ,and ,she ask. ed '"Why, Mother?" I ton, wondered, that he will understand? Children are becoming increasingly restivre under any restraint, and the more rebellion they store up in their eouls while they are little, the sooner they wil break away from discipline in adolescent days. But even the tiny ones are surprisingly logical, and while they resent unfairness and ar- bitrariness, they appreciate justice and fairness quito as much. Mlnard's Liniment for insect bites.
