KEEPING THE INSATIABLE FRENCH ARTILLERY ABUNDANTLY SUPPLIED WITH PROJECTILES.—AN ARSENAL IN TOULON DEVOTED TO THE MAKING OF SHELLS OF HEAVY CALIBRE. So great is the constant drain of the French Army upon the munition factories, especially for heavy projectiles for the modern guns, that it is necessary to keep these arsenals working at full pressure day and night. The arsenal in Toulon is of historical interest, containing, as it does, a wide variety of old-time souvenirs of war, but the models of the present day show up in strong relief both as regards number and their scientific powers of destroying human life. THE ENTRANCE TO A FRENCH UNDERGROUND SHELTER NEAR THE FAMOUS FORT DOUAUMONT, ON THE MEUSE. In the terrific fighting that has taken place on the French front, no name has been more prominently before the public than Fort Douaumont. The stone structure shown in the illustration has resisted the ceaseless bombardments from both sides of the German artillery, and the men located at this veritable stronghold have proved worthy soldiers of France. They have demonstrated that their power of attack is equally as effective as their resistance against the determined onslaughts of the enemy. [French Army Photographic Service.
