THE WORLD'S ADVANCE 



17 



IN THE TRENCHES AND AT THE REAR 



Contrary to the general 

 opinion that the Russian 

 army is ill equipped, the 

 accompanying view 

 proves that the Slavs 

 are not to be outdone 

 by other fighting forces 

 in the matter of ma- 

 teriel. Here is seen one 

 of the many repair shops 

 on wheels, which keep 

 the aeroplanes, automo- 

 biles, motorcycles and 

 other machines in per- 

 fect shape. These shops 

 usually contain a lathe, 

 drill press, planer and 

 all kinds of hand tools. 

 Some of them even have 

 an oxy-acetylene torch 

 outfit. 



Above: King's African Rifles in- 

 trenched during a lively engage- 

 ment in East Africa. In the oval: 

 German transport wagons travel- 

 ing over the Polish plains near 

 Suwalki. In this view, as far as 

 the eye can see, there are trans- 

 port wagons, bringing food and 

 war materials to the German 

 lines. At the right: A remark- 

 able line of trenches used by 

 the Austrians in Galicia. The 

 barricade in the water serves to 

 partly conceal the trenches on 

 the bank.
