STRONG DEFENCE
FRENCH FRONTIERS WIDE SCHEME ADOPTED (Times Cable) (Received December 31, 3 p.m.) LONDON', Dec. 30. The .Times' Paris correspondent states that the Chamber oil Deputies adopted a frontier defence scheme providing for a complete organisation, fully using natural features and extensively providing reinforced concrete, shell, gas, and bombproof shelters for defenders, mobile fortification parks equipped with material enabling a rapid construction of strong posts at threatened points, and also anti-aircraft defence. The authorities do not believe that war has proved the uselessness of fortifications, which they considered had fallen owing to defective defence.
