London, Dee. 30.
The Chamber of Deputies, says the Paris Correspondent of The Times, has adopted a frontier defence scheme providing for complete organisation of the Terrain, fully using the natural features and extensively providing reinforced concrete shell, gas and bomb-proof shelters for the defenders, mobile fortification parks equipped with material enabling rapid construction of strong posts nt threatened points, also anti-aircraft defence. The authorities do not believe that war lias proved the uselessness of fortifications which, they consider, had fallen owing to defective defence.
