GERMAN SLIMNESS
TWO INSTANCES. 0v Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright LONDON, July 12. “Eye-Witness,” with tho British Headquarters, gives an example of the enemy’s slimness. “When they saw a British aeroplane using daylight flares, the Germans concentrated tho gunfire of specific areas on our lino, to make us imagine the aeroplane was an enemy one directing the German artillery, and thus to induce us to shell it. The underlying idea of the ruse was distinctly ingenious.” Another trick of tho Germans is: Knowing the British weakness for collecting souvenirs, they are leaving about in the trenches bright helmets containing bombs, which explode when picked up.
