They were f;ir better than the original defenses of the Russians on the Vistula mid Uawka rivers. "The trenches are connected by sunk en passageways In different' places. These nfford an opportunity for the troops to retire from trench to trench. There are elaborate protections of barbed wire entanglements on wooden posts. Some of these entanglements project high above flic surface of the ground. Otliei are only two feet high and are constructed In a broad ditch, which prevents their being seen at a distance.

They are elaborately Imllt up with sand bags, and the front part has been covered with sod. They are so situated that the field of tire Is over at least 1.000 yards of open flat pl.tln. unobstructed try trees or any shelter for an enemy, so that a charge made by the attacking troops would have to be In pliiln view of every Russian soldier lo "-"oebes." extermination of armed Mexican ban dits In the vicinity of llrownsvllle, Texas, haa been decreed.
