A short time ago the Germans were still clinging to their fortied lines--a trench system which was in reality an elaborate system of for- tications. It consisted of a front line of-guard trenches, what might be called the outpost trenches, where the sentinels kept guard, but _whicl1 were not intended to be defended '* with particular obstinacy. Behind 5 these were the ghting trenehes,_ 1 which were a real defensive line, and ' Were_ armoured to the last degree. ` Behind the ghting trenches again A` were the supporting trenches, where ` reserves were brought `up to be ready 1 to _go to the aid of the ghting T` trenches. Behind these were the re- serve trenches, and behind them the_ I reserve `camps. The capture of a 1 position rarely'meant the capture ofi` less than seven lines of trenches, ` and it meant morgeoften than not the!` capture of- fteen or twenty lines of l trenches.
