TRAPS ARE LAID BY
FLEEING GERMANS
With the French Armies Advancing
from Soissons, Mar. 27. French sol
dlers don't pull down the carcase
of rabbits, crows, hawk, squirrel
and the like which they find occa
sionally strung on wires, dangling
from rulna ot bouses destroyed 'by
the Germans in their retreat.
Here la the reason why: In sev
eral places north ot Soissons the ad
vancing French force have found
that when attempt was made to yank
down these dead bodies, the pull on
the wires to which they were at
tached set off mine Ingeniously laid
by the Germans.
But not everywhere have the Ger
man naa sumcteni lime in wnicn 10
plant such Ingenious traps. m The
French advance has been so speedy
that the Germans were forced to
leave before completing their work
Thus 500,000 bottles In a glass fsc
tory recently taken escaped the usual
devastation although the Germans
literally wiped out the factory Itself.
It Is a commentary on the German
military character that, faced by hot
pursuit along the Amubeuge road and
forced to choose between what they
could destroy and what they did not
have time to destroy, the Germans
chose to destroy-irchards and leave
Intact concrete shelters of the mill
tary value.
If anything was needed to arouse
the French forces to utter fury, It
was thl deliberate wantonness, not
excusable on the ground ot military
necessity. Certainly the concrete
shelter were of vastly more military
value than the fruit tree. The Ger
man destruction here give the lie to
Berlin' claim that orchards were
cut down "solely to deprive the ene
my of their military value."
Today the French were pushing on
around Margival In score of dlscon
nected actions, the whole advance
nevertheless, marvelotisly co-ordlnat
ed. Bit by bit they are taking farm
after farm, village after village
marking a steady advance with a cor
responding German retrogression.
