JAMES H. WINGFI | GERMANS PLAN TO BURN ALLIES OUT WITH OIL PARIS, Nov, 21.—-A German plan to attempt burning the allies out of thetr trenches in northwestern Bel gium was suspected here today They had provided themselves with large numbers of huge barges| and vast quantities of crude oil The belief was that they intended to fill the barges with of! and launch them on the flooded area between Oixmude and the coast. The barges, burning to the water's edge, would let the oll run out, and, as the of] would flow, the whole region would be converted into a great sea of fire. Fight With Artillery The fighting In the north today was mostly with artillery Weather conditions continued frightful, and the use of infantry on an important scale was impos sible, The British, who have been at tempting to cut the Germans’ com munication lines north of Arras were increasingly active in that lo cality today.

The runways permit the Germans to fall back without exposing them- selves, These two lines of trenches are 100 yards apart Back of them fs a third line, in which are the machine guns, under turrets. It is usually covered with green logs, placed crosswise. On the logs earth and bushes are heaped, to conceal the trench. But the Germans don't stop even here. As soon as this series of trenches is completed, even though they are under fire at the time, a second se- ries, far more elaborate than the ¢ first, 1s being constructed. Sklifully Protected This second series is skilfully and {ftricately protected, not only against infantry attack but from exploding shells as well, so as to be almost equal to permanent outer defenses of a fortified place Since the war began, the French have profited by viewing the Ger- man trenches from which they have Nights, $1.50 to 50c. | returned. va studied | Matinees, $1.00 to 50c.
