The lines of the trenches make the battle front appear like deeply scarred fields. The allies, who quickly learn- ed the lesson in burrowing, at some places face the Germans within a quarter of a mile. Their fleld en- trenchments offer admirable shelter from-the effects of the German artil- lery whioh consequently reduces their casualties and permits the allies to await in comparative safety the Ger- man attacks, which must be made at:rtu the open, and often at terrible cos The fury of the German onslaught wat unabated today, especially on the western ‘wing: but their every effort was met. with vigor by the allies, who seemed :to vie with each other in throwing. all their strength and cour- age against the attackers, ‘The scene of the most violent at- tacks changes da by day.
