By H. G. Wales, (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARIS. Nov. 22.—Much has been written of Hindenburg's "new defen sive strategy," and the terms "elas ticity of defensive lines" and "ad vanced crater positions" have figured many times of late in the German communiques edited by Ludendorff. But the only difference in the Ger man defense today from what it was a year ago at the Somme is that for merly the front line trench and the support position Immediately behind was hold in force, whereas today the advanced line is sparsely held—being usually only a line of shell holes con nected up and reinforced by steel and concrete "pillboxes," and the most ad vanced intrenched position is the sec ond line, also thinly held. The bulk of the defending troops are concen trated in what approximates to the old third line of defense and even further to the rear. Continually augmenting and crush ingly superior allied artillery, com bined with aerial supremacy for bom barding planes, are directly and solely responsible for this slight change in defensive tactics. Until the opening British and French attacks last spring. In April, in the Artois, and in May, in Lam nais and Champagne respectively, the Germans' first line trench system along the entire front, from the North sea to the Swiss border, was an elab orately constructed powerful position, kept in the highest state of efficiency and condition for defense at all times. All night long the garrison worked feverishly repairing the damage done by French and British guns during the daytime, and daybreak generally found the trench parapet entirely re j paired and reconstructed from the I holes and craters torn in it by the ] enemy guns. But these tactics required the po sition in the first line of a consider- 1 able garrison. Many soldiers were re- ; quired to man the continuous line of trench, zigzagged back and forth to ! prevent bflng enfiladed by machine j guns if the enemy sent over a raid-1 ing party, and it was necessary to have in position always a great num ber of working parties ot soldiers to do the repair work. To accommodate and protect these men the Germans built, directly be low their advanced front line trenches, j great abris, or bomb proof shelters, usually dug thirty to forty feet under ground and accessible by long stair ways from the trenches. Here the \ working parties slept by day and the active fighting men by night, except when they were "tumbled up" to stand j guard against a possible surprise at tack. But as time wore on and the allies' heavy artillery increased in numbers, the Germans found flaws in this means of defense. In the first place, it soon became possible for the British and French to allot batteries of heavy guns—eight-inch and over—to every sector along the front, Instead of only the places where offensive actions I were planned. The big eight-inch guns did vastly more destruction to the trenches than the 75-millimetre— three-inch—guns that the allies had lonnerly relied upon. And, further more, an eight-inch shell with a "pen etration time fuse" attached, could crush its way thirty or forty feet un der ground before exploding. This rendered the underground shelters , worthless in case of direct hits, and j since the allies were so well supplied with both big guns and she'ls that ■ they could systematically "plot" the I whole German front line, they blew up dugout after dugout, killing or en I tombing the occupants, until Hinden ! tmrg was forced to adopt other de fensive measures. It is generally believed that Gen eral von Lossburg, who was chief of staff ot the fifth Germany army that faced the Franco-British forces at the Somme, is the creator of the new ene my defensive tactics. He was trans ferred to Artois last spring in the lace ot the big Canadian attacks against Vimy Ridge and lately has been sent to the Flanders front, where the British reinforced by the first j French army under General Anthoine, are striking again and again, j Realizing the allied superiority in j men. munitions and morale, General j von Lossburg tacitly admits that they 1 can take any positions the Germans j bold at their volition.

Thus is revealed the strategy of the German Great General Staff—to relin quish Belgian and French territory they overran at the beginning of the war as slowly as possible, taking the heaviest toll of the assailants they cun, and not trying to defend for loo long a position they would event ually and perhaps unexpectedly lose and thereby imperil their whole line. And their object in thus prolonging operations is to give the submarines a chance to win the war for the army that failed. No Man's Land and a belt ot terri tory a couple of miles deep on both sides of the opposing advanced po sitions is always a mass of shell cra When the average size of the ters. guns was only three inches there were only shell holes, but today when the guns run to six, eight, ten and twelve inches and when innumerable great new pieces casting projectiles sixteen and eighteen inches in diameter are being used, the shell holes have ex panded to fair-sized craters, as large the yawning holes ripped up by the average mine exploded. The German engineers select an imaginary line and then set to work to "organize" the shell craters. These in such profusion—overlapping in that the removal of a as are many cases few spadesful ot earth makes them a continuous line, so that runners and liaison officers can get from one point to another along the front without get ting out on the open and revealing themselves to enemy snipers. Machine guns are placed in the larger shell holes and each position is made a reserve depot for hand gren ades, bombs, Verey lights, ammuni tion. gas bombs, flame projectors and food. There are no underground shel ters built and the defending troops strictly prohibited from undertak ing any extensive defensive work which would reveal to aerial observers and to aeroplane photographers the exact position of the advanced line. Just behind this line is the "zone These "isolat "pill boxes" are for isolated defenses." ed defenses" are the about which so much has been writ ten. They are constructed ot con crete and steel—usually railway ties, criss-crossed and Imbedded in the con crete. The "pill boxes" are usually set flush with the ground or at most ele vated only a few feet in cases where the terrain permits their being hidden by camouflage. In the "pill boxes" are machine guns, sometimes light field of the quick firing pattern, and garrison of "sturm truppen" —the picked troops used for bombing and shock tactics. The zone of isolated defense is frequently two or three miles deep, and It is behind this po sition that the Germans establish their advanced line of continuous guns most trenches.

WARD 15 Broad Street, New York Dealer in Bonds, Stocks and Notes tern, often three or four miles from the actual advanced front line of the "crater positions," that the Germans' counter attacks are organized and started after each advance by the British and French. So far this meth od of beginning the counter attacks so far In the rear has been possible because the Crown Prince Rupprecht still holds a few heights and ridges and hills In Flanders which hide his troop movements and enable him to mass men for an attack beyond the vision of the British. But, with these observing positions all lost to him Rupprecht will be forced to use other tactics. When once the commanding positions are all held by the British and the low, flat, slightly undulating plains of Flanders stretch forth un hampered to British observers, it will be necessary for the Germans to keep their supports nearer the advanced fighting line it they Intend to strike back quickly, before the British can "dig in" and consolidate their newly won positions. For if the Germans try to concentrate men in the open even three miles in the rear, these formations will be caught under the fire of the British long range naval tvne funs and shattered before thev type guns ana snatteiea oerore tney can even get started on their way forward to counter attack. In fact, this is exactly what has happened time and again recently at all points in the Ypres sector, where the British have gained a footing on the last ob structing reach between them and open, level ground. British commu niques speak repeatedly of "German counter attacks in process of forma tion were caught under our fire and the attacking troops dispersed." The Germans, too, are constantly increasing their stand of artillery— although they are unable to keep pace with the French and British, and they have concentrated no bigger calibre guns—their eight-inch, high velocity shells for long range work being their especial favorite. But they are at a disadvantage because the initiative has passed to the British, and the Germans do not know where to con centrate their fire to break up the organization for the next British leap forward. They try to cover the whole arc of the Ypres salient stantly "mushrooming" larger and larger—whereas the British merely concentrate on the sector they intend to attack. whioikjs con "Elasticity ot line" Is a meaningless phrase to those who have always real ized that the western front was an "elastic line" and that It could not be broken, even though badly strained, [ until such time as one side or the i other has a crushing superiority in every branch of warfare.
