French Utilizing Captured German Guns and Forts

The above picture

of a German "pill

box," captured by

the French and

converted t o a

sim ilar use for

themselves, gives

some idea of the

enormous strength

of these miniature

forts that are im-

mune to ordinary

fire and where a

few 'resolute men

can hold up many

times their

number.(® FrenchPictorwa

(At left)-Thesehuts for soldiers,which have beenconstructed intrenches along aroad on the Frenchfront, have beennicknamed "c o n-fession boxes" bythe men. Theyfind them very:omfortable,never-theless, especiallyin Winter and inthe rainy season,and what theylack in size theymake up in dry-ness and warmth.
