PARIS FORTIICATIONS STRONCEST IN WORLD Three Distinct Circics Sweep Around Freieh Capt. ‘Washington, Aug. 29.—The abil- ity of the fortifications of Paris (o resist a siege is receiving the close attention of military observers, now that Paris is the announced objective point of the German forces and the French ministry of war has adopted uggent means of strengthening ihe city’s defenses to the utmost. Strongest in World. ‘While the city’s detailed defenses are surrounded with strict secrecy Ly French military authorities, yet their general character and formidab.s strength are well known to military experts who recognize them as among the strongest fortifications in the world. These fortifications consist ol three distinct circles sweepirg around the city—first, the solid walls of masonry eighteen feet high extending 22 miles around the old sections of Parls; second the systom of 17 detached forts arranged at in- tervals two miles beyond the wall and making a circuit or tne city 34 miles long; and the third an outcr girdle of forts 76 miles long on the heights commanding the valley of the Seine. Each Complete Defense. Kach of these circies of masonry and steel is a complete defense in itself, the forts belng linked togsth- er with redoubts, bastion and glacis which permit a cross fire against ap- proach by its area, which extends 400 square miles. The wall around Paris and the 17 detached forts two miles beyond the wall, were built by Louis Philippe. They sustained the German slege of 1870-71 and the outer forts have since been greatiy strengthened. The third line of forts, on the hills of St. Germalne, Cormilles and Vil- llers, are of modern construction with the latest types of batterles ana heavy guns. The Important Inner Wall. The inner wall surrounds the best known and most important sections: of the city, including the businc:s section along the grand boulevards, the residence sections on the norch | points out that the bombardmen: of and the prospect of a between her fleet and that of Germany was fraught with awe-inspiring pos- sibilities. and west of the city and the Latin quarter and other sections of the ieft bank of the Seine. Outside ‘of tha wall a circle of suburbs extends for many miles, including Neilly, A genueill, Versailles, Vincennes and many others. The forts of the sec- ond and third line of defenses are dotted among these suburbs, protect- ing them and the approaches to the capital. The wall contains 93 bas- tions and 67 gates. Some of thesc have been abandoned, owing to the pressure of modern construction and trade. But recent advices receivel here from Paris state that all the gates still existing are now closed at 9 p. m. with rngid regulations against movements rrom within or without. Second Lino or Forts, The second line of forts includes the famous fortress of Montvalerin which was the center of attack in the German siege of 1870. It is strengthenea by two groups of works—Pautes, Bruyeres and the Chatillon fort and batteries. South of the city is the row of forts at Ivry, Bictre, Mont Rouge, Vances and Issy. North of the city are thiee forts around St. Denis, and two oth- ers at Fort Aubervillois and Fort Chartonten, commanding the ap- proaches from the great wood of Bondy. Require 170,000 Men. The outer circle of forts which are of the most modern type, havu from 24 to 60 heavy guns and €00 to 1,200 men each. In all the thrue lines of defenses require 170,000 men to operate tnem, not countiny troops assembled within the city. According to military experts it would require a force of 500,000 men to invest these defences. Governor Von Moltke, field marshal of the German forces at the time of the siege of Paris of 1870-71, states in a report on that siege that the French artillery armament consisted of over 2,627 pieces, Including 209 nance. There were 500 rounds fov each gun, a reserve of 3,000,000 kil- ograms of powder, Von Moltke a fortified place, in wne heart of an enemy's country, is difficult if nog impossible, until the invader is mas-~ ter of the railways or waterways by which heavy slege artillery can be brought up in full §uantity. He ox- plains the failure to bombard Paris at the outset of the former slege by saying it would have required 300 heavy guns with 500 rounds for sach gun. The movement forward of these heavy guns would have requlr- ed 4,600 four-wheeled wagons and | 10,000 horses, which were not avail- able, ‘Withstood Long Siege. At a lter stage the Germaus brought up their big stege guns, at- tacking the enciente and ports, and dropping 300 to 400 fifteen-centime- ter shells daily into the heart of the city. Notwithstanding the fury of the German attacks, Paris withstoo. the siege for 132 days. Since. then the entirely new and outer third ane of defense has been erected and mili- tary experts say the fortifications as & whole are far more formidable than those which resistea tne former siege.
