THE WORLD'S ADVANCE 



163 



WITH THE GERMANS IN THE EAST AND WEST 



German troops defending the ruins 

 of a house against the attacks of 

 the enemy. Practically every build- 

 ing of substantial construction in 

 the war zone is converted into a 

 v-eritable fort, not only manned by 

 infantry but also equipped with 

 machine guns and even field pieces. 



The Kaiser and his brother, Prince 

 Henry of Prussia, leaving the 

 Kaiser's headquarters for a walk. 

 Prince Henry, who is well known 

 to Americans because of his visits 

 to this country in the past, is 

 identified with the naval forces of 

 Germany in the present war.

 German batteries in Poland. 



Above: From one end of the Ger- 

 man east front to the other long 

 trenches have been dug and pro- 

 tected by abatis of barbed wire. 

 In this view the soldiers are seen 

 at work making the abatis for pro- 

 tecting the trenches against the 

 charges of the enemy. .
