UNDERGROUND CITY
BUILT BY FRANCE.
Fortress of Verdun, Besieged by
Crown Prince Has Formid
able Defenses.
By WILLIAM SIMMS
United Press StalT Correspondent
With the French Army at the
i
Front, Sept. 10.: (By mail)—France
is putting her reliance in her men, her
entanglements of special barbed wire
of American make and in her series
of marvelous trenches. No longer
does she depend primarily upon her
i forts.
No better proof of this could be
furnished than the act today of Mili
tary Governor Courtanceau in show
j ing me the secrets of the organization
of the defenses of Verdun.
“The Germans have announced that
Verdun is on the point of falling,” a
stalT officer said. “We want you to
havo a look for yourself, then to let
you judge whether Verdun is in dang
i er or not."
So saying, we visited places and
sawr things w’hich no mere “civils”
had ever visited or been shown before.
I We went down winding stairs, down,
down, down until I was dizzy, into the
bowls of the earth under the forts;
we ventured into the deepest of the
dungeons W'here miles and miles of
corridors are fdled with miles of food
stuffs, ammunition and the like in
broad, tall rows; wfe saw’ the general
staff at w’ork in some of these corri
dors now’ rigged up as offices; we saw
the whole plant and lastly we were
admitted to the underground retreat
of the General.
“You may say," he said, “that we
are expected to defend this city until
the last round of ammunition is gone
| and the last man dead."
The subterranean chambers of the
citadel of Verdun can accomodate at
least 50,000 people with the supplies
necessary to their comparative com
fort. In June the Germans shelled
Verdun with 380 milimeter long- j
range guns, 26 shells falling on the
j town. Not much damage was done,
but profiting by the experience of
Dunkirk which was several times
bombarded from a position 20 miles
: away, the authorities at once set
about making Verdun “safe”. This
was done by using the corridors and
chambers under the citadel as a place
to lodge the troops of the garrison
and, if needs be the civil population as
well. These underground spaces
date back for the most part about 30
years and are from 100 to 200 feet
below the surface. They arc cut al
most entirely in rock but have false
walls and ceilings of brick, with
space between the bricks and rock for
ventilation, chimneys ascending to the
surface at intervals creating a natur-;
al draft.
Subway voyagers in New York
would find these underground pas
sage* delightfully invigorating.
One finds innumerable beds or
bunks, in two tiers. There is a hospi
tal with a spotless operating room.
An independent waterworks system,
with two power stations (in case one
goes wrong,) has a capacity sufficient
for the needs of 50,000 people. There
is an immense store of grain in air
tight metal casks and a large grist
mill to turn the grain into flour. A
bakery has sufficient ovens to furnish j
all soldiers and civils in the fortress
with breat. Besides the grain there
is flour—much being from America
in the sealed metal boxes; also canned
meats in enormous quantities.
In the same manner there are
stores of lard, canned milk and many
other necessities, none of these things 1
being drawn upon at present. They,,
will be used only in case Verdun is in
vested.
Narrow gauge railways run
through the corridors to haul food
supplies, ammunition, etc. I' ive .
electric-light plants guarantee the
place against'darkness and there aie
two more being built as an extra pre
caution.
Officers’ quarters have been prepar
ed in one of the subterranean pas
sagas, these being simply small rooms ,
built of thin boarding to provide a
modicum of privacy. On the door
of one little room the upright planks
of which are perhaps a foot higher
than the others, are the words:
“MILITARY GOVERNOR.”
The Germans, led by the Crown
Prince at the north, and the Bavari
ans considerably to the south, com
manded by Prince Ruprecht, at con
siderable distance form a three-quart
er circle about Verdun. It is reported
that the Crown Prince is particularly
eager to take the citadel since it was
here he met his first great failure last
September. But now that Verdun is
safe from long range shelling, and
with the five or six rings of trenches
and American barbed wire about her
outer girdles, it would appear a very
difficult job.
Verdun is now considered a good
base to operate from. It is not con
sidered of supreme importance any
more than is any other fortress in the
West. It is just one point in the
great system of defensive works
which stretch from sea to Switzer
land and is important for just that
much.
SIXTY MOOSE AT A TIME.
Phil Hickey who has just returned
from a most successful big game hunt
says that during his trip in the hills
he was able to see as many as sixty
moose at one time from an elevated
vie.v point.
