"Barrage of Fire."

Paris, Dec. 29,” A continuous barrage of fire which will make France's frontiers inviolable is the effect claimed for the fortifications scheme for which the Chamber has authorised the credits mentioned yesterday. The system is the application of the famous theory of Vauban, Louis. Fifteenth's great military architect, whereby use will be made of natural defences like ronds, rivers and mountains; and like flooding, while fortifications recourse will be had to methods armed with machine-guns and heavy artillery will cover the rail- ways and roads.

A novel feature will be the use of "mobile, fortifications," which can be transported rapidly by rail from point to point.

The police promptly gut control of the situation, thus averting very serious consequences. A com- pany of the 2nd Battalion of the Defence Corps has been mobilised and will march fully armed through the locations.

Gen. Maginot, the Minister for War, replying, emphasised the necessity for protection against possible invasion, which was all the more urgent In view of the early evacuation of the Rhineland and the recent reduction in the period of military service to one year.-Router.
