NEW YORK. Oct. 10. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Events of the last three
months involving the German retreat in
France and Belgium .have emphasised
the importance of the German de
fensive systems which have been pre
pared by the foe for Just the emer
gency whica now confronts him.
The Merman .lines resemble a tree
with three main branches. The trunk
of this "tree? has its roots at the Swiss
frontier and continues north as far as
Melx. where it divides into two
branches. The westerly branch runs to
the northwest as . fsr as the Meuse
River, where it separates, one "limb"
crossing the Meuse and running- west
ward, after which it sweeps to the
north on a long curve. The other fol
lows the Meuse down as far as Naraur,
whence it runs to Brussels. Antwerp
and the Dutch frontier.
Heirdiag Llae Traced.
The branch that crossed the Meuse is
the first that must be b-oken by the
, allies. In fact, recent British and Bel
gian victories in Belgian Flanders seem
to have rendered a large part of this
line untenable as a permanent defen
sive position.
This line crosses the' Meuse at Dun.
goes through the Argonne forest and
thence follows the Ainne River as far
as Kethel. where It turns north and
passes i.ear Guise and Solesmes. It
. continues northward past Valenciennes
and reaches the Scheldt at Conde. 11
runs along tna Scheldt past Tournal
and Ghent, where it turns to the east
ward and reaches Antwerp. This J
the "Hundlng line."
The second line, known as the "Line
of the Meuse." is- established on the
east bank of the Meuse northward from
Pan. It passes Sedan and Mesieres
and enters Belgium Just southwest of
Dinant. At Namur it leaves the river
and runs to Brussels, continuing on to
Antwerp, where it Joins the Hundlng
. line and continues on to the Dutch
border.
Third Llae la SlrOBsT.
The third line is the original defense
sone along the German frontier. South
of Mets, it Js centered around the 37
permanent forts about Strassburg. It
runs. over the Vosges fountains and
is several miles deep.
At Mets the Germans have construct
ed 2 great forts, which are so located
as to command all approaches and at
the same time capable of concentrat
ing their fire on any one fort which
happens to be entered by the allies.
Northwest of Mets. is the great iron
field of Briey. The Importance of this
iron deposit has compelled the Germans
to convert the whole country into a
veritable fortress. This line runs along
the boundary between France and Ger
many, bearing to the northeast until it
reaches the "Luxemburg line.
If this belt, should be pierced, the
Germans may fall back to the Saai
bruecken and Kaiserslautern regions,
which are interspersed by rivers and
high wooded hills, which lend them
selves admirably to defensive opera
tions. Prraaarat Forts Caastracfed.
' TVast of Luxemburg, it Is reported,
the Germans have devoted much time
to the construction of permanent forti
fications. The country along the Belgian fron
tier between Luxemburg and Holland
is dominated by Coblenz which Marshal
Focn considers" the key to Germany. In
this area is Bonn, a fortress of the
first-class. Cologne, which is protected
by a broad oelt of entrenchments and
a series of strongholds running along
the western aide uf the Rhine until that
river passes into Holland.
Should the three lints mentioned te
broken, or if the allies should break
through between - Mets and the Swiss
frontier, the Germans would be com
pelled to fall . back into ' Germany
proper or to the squth. to .'cross the
lihine.. This historic river is really the
western moat of the Teutonic castle.
Its whole eastern bank is strongly
fortified and would he capable of a
protracted defense. This line of re
sistance begins at Lahr and runs down
the Rhine through Offenburg, Rastatt.
Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Darmstadt. Wies
baden. Bendorf, Kalk, Densburg and
Wesel.
I.lae Cum Be Shortened.
In their retirement from their present
positions the Germans will be able to
shorten their lines materially and thus
increase the immber of men available
for their new fronts. The Hundlng line
is about 70 miles shorter than, the Hin
denburg system. The line of the Meuse
would shorten the front by 20 miles
more, while the Germans, if they should
retire to their own frontier, would be
able to shorten their front still more
by 15 miles.
The Meuse. Aisne and the Scheldt
rivers and the canals in Belgium in the
vicinity of Brussels and Antwerp also
will be valuable adjuncts to the con
duct of defensive fighting by the Ger
mans. With the development of the
tank aa an offensive weapon, a river as
a first-defense line adds tremendously
to the strencth of a position.

SUFFRAGISTS TP KEEP ON
PICKETING OF SENATE IS TO BE
CONTINUED, THEY SAY.
Women Are Not at All Dismayed bj
. Failure of Attempt to Slarch
Into Senate Chamber.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 20. Apparently Impelled
by a fear that the equal suffrage cam
naign will, fall into a state of "innocu
ous desuetude," the militanut suffrag
ists have determined to continue their
militancy. To keep the suffrage issue
alive was the purpose of their recent
attempt to march upon the floor of the
Senate, and the women intimate thatt
they have other "stunts" to be pulled
off when the time seems opportune.
It is pretty generally remarked that
in meeting the first assaults of the
picketing suffragists, the Senators han
dled the Job more tactfully and effec
tively than did the President, or the
President's advisors for It has never
been known to what extent the Presi
dent directed the defensive operations.
Much Sympathy Aroused.
When the picketing women in front
of the White House were arrested they
were rather roughly handled, taken to
Jail and a not very creditable Jail at
that placed on trial, sent to the work
house, ill treated there, it Is said, and
finally dismissed without either pardon
or completion of sentence. The manner
in which they -were handled won them
a. deal of sympathy, and kept them In
the public prints.
,But the capitol police proceeded dif
ferently. Instead of the disorganized,
vacillating and inconsistent course pur
sued by the District officers, the police
of the capitol grounds seemed to know
exactly what to do, did it quietly but
firmly, and there was no occasion for
undue public sympathy.
Of course the women had no expecta
tion of being permitted to march upon
the floor of the Senate. They had no
such desire. They proclaimed in ad
vance that, they would march upon the
floor of the Senate and demand the
right of suffrage, but in making the
announcement their purpose" was to
make sure that the capitol police would
be ready to arrest them, and also draw
a crowd. The only disappointing fea
tured the affair was that it passed off
quietly. ' .
Capitol Job Done Quietly.
The capitol police met them at the
entrance to the Capitol grounds and es
corted them quietly to the Capitol guard
room, a spacious, well-lighted room
with easy chairs and pleasant sur
roundings, where they were held in cus
tody. The telephone was. disconnected
so that-they could not call a lawyer,
and the guards refused to carry mes
sages for them. When the Senate ad
journed at 7 o'clock in the evening the
women were released as quietly as they
had been taken into custody. They
had no chance for a hunger strike and
they could not complain of cold quar
ters or rough treatment.
But they are detel mined to continue
picketing the Senate and keep before
