HOW WOOD HELPS TO WIN 

 In trench building timbers are indispensable. This shows the use of wood 

 in throwing up trenches in the French war zone. The Engineer regiments

 Suggesting some of the methods applied for the purpose of misleading the 

 enemy and proenting him from knowing too much of what is being done. 

 This shows a screen covered with pine boughs in the Champagne region. 



from a logging wagon upon which has fallen a small 

 log, one takes it quite for granted. 



Lumber jacks dressed uniformly in horizon blue and 

 wearing fatigue caps or steel helmets, might look like a 



strange setting in front of a bunk house, but after a few 

 weeks of familiarity with men in such garb, which in 

 active use soon takes on a work-a-day appearance, one 

 takes them as quite a part of the scheme of things. In

HOW WOOD AND WIRE HAMPER THE FIGHTERS. 

 This mass of entanglements is directly in front of that line of trenches known as the Hindenburg line. This line was supposed to be impregnable 

 and the Germans had built trenches there, as showing that they intended to stay at the place for a long time. The British soldiers of the western 

 front cut through the entanglements and drove the enemy from his position. The picture shows the results of the cutting through.
