M OF
HEADQUARTERS. TENTH, ARMY
CORPS, AT THE FRONT. France,
July 4.—(Correspondence of the Asso
ciated Press.) — General Antoine,
commander of the Tenth Army Corps,
was bending over a military map at
his headquarters when M. Palnleve, a
member of the French cabinet was
announced. General de Castlenau,
commanding the western front, had
Invited the minister to visit the sev
eral headquarters near Verdun, and
had authorized the representative of
the Associated Press to accompany
the minister. Two of General de Cas
tlenau’s personal staff. Major Gamut
and Lieutenant Laguionie, actod as
escorts to the party, and In the cir
cuit of several hundred kilometers
three nrmy corps headquarters were
visited—the Tenth Anny Corps under
General Antoine, the Fifth Army Corps
under General Hellouin, and the Third
Army Corps under General Humbert.
It was the first day of this trip of
inspection, made under most favorable
auspices, designed to schow the cabi
net officer the exact condition of af
fairs on the fighting line—the offen
sive and defensive organization, the
morale of the men, the condition of
supplies and equipment, the trench
warfare and the actual fighting on the
front. M. Painleve, besides being a
member of the cabinet, had taken a
leading part in the debates of the
chamber of deputies on questions re
lating to the military campaign, and
this was to let him see at first hand
just how that campaign was being
conducted.
The commander of the Fifth Army
Corps and the cabinet officers ex
changed cordial greetings. General
Antoine is a man of commanding ap
pearance, tall and athletic, a little be
yond middle age. with bronzed face
and iron gray hair and moustache. He
was in light blue service uniform, with
high boots and spurs, the three stars
on the sleeve indicating his high rank.
Here in his headquarters the sur
roundings were plain to the point of
bareness. The room was small and
the floor bare. A rough pine table was
in the middle, with a detailed map
stretched out, over which General An
toine had been studying. Other maps
and photographs of sectors, trenches
and various divisions of the works
were on the wall, and these, with a
few pine chair*, made up the furnlih
tngs of the corp* headquarter* which
I* pushing forward the supplies to V»r
dun and the fighting front.
M. Painleve was much Interested i«
the large charts showing In detail the
layout of the fighting and reserve
forces, and Oeneral Antoine, standing
before the chart, pointed out the main
point*—Verdun off to the right, then
the army corps massed to the west,
and then General Antoine’s corps do
ing the work of preparation and for
warding, as well as guarding 1 con
siderable section of the front.
"The photographs show the field
better,” said the general, leading the
way to a largo room adjoining.
A score of officers were at work
here, sorting photographs, developing
them, and fitting them together 'r.to
huge panoramic views showing every
road and trench and tree. These
photographs were taken from tha
clouds by aviators, and now and then
tha airmen came In with *he nega
tives just taken of their section. The
vhole war zone was laid oil* In small
squares, the aviators minutely photo
graphing each square, r.nd then the
squares were fitted together like a
jigsaw puzzle, making u complete pic
ture of the whole zone 'V non the
edge of a square was too close to a
German battery for tha aviator to
reach in safety, the photograph was
taken by a camera lashed to a high
pole and held above a trench.
These last, trench pint.res, pre
sented a grewsome scene of the h ivoc
and desolation where tbe batteries
were doing the worst work —the
ground swept of trees and foliage, lit
tered with debris, and a few twisted
trunks extending their distorted arms.
General Antoine now turned cut
side, and with a group of staff offi
cers led the way through tlfc mazes
of a vast camp. Such a scene of
varied and intense activity. It fairly
throbbed as the visitors passed along.
Wagons, wagons, wagons, stretching
away in unending procession for miles
ahead and behind. A great cloud of
dust hung over this cavalcade, and
the green fields were covered as with
frost from the fall of dust. The four
horse teams strained along, keeping
the ranks close together. Every con
ceivable sort of war stores was In
this moving train — boxes and barrels
and bales of food for men and ani
mals; huge wine casks on end, two to
a wagon; ordnance carts piled high!
with boxes of shells; lorries with ugly j
looking quick fire guns, and vans load- I
ed with coils of barbed wire and with
sharp pointed stakes used in the
trenches and cheveaux-de-frise.
“And this goes on night and day,”
said Major Gamut. “Yes, it is busiest
at night near the front, for the mov
ing is dangerous in the daytime, so
that the last laps, near the fighting
line, start at dusk and go steadily
through the night.”

love story, which leaves a happy glow’
in the spectator's mind. “The Plun
derer” is as perfect a photoplay as
has yet been achieved, and deals with
clean, manly men. affecting sentiment,
the lust for yellow gold and swift, dy
namic drama.
Bill Matthews of the Croix D'Or mine, _

with a big warm heart and a punch

are harassed by a secret enemy who :

the reservoir upon which the power ]
to the mine depends. These are only :
a few of the thrills that keep you :
breathless—hanging on to th earms of

Big Bill and his partner discover their
enemy is the most stirring of all.
