    "ocrText": "--6--\nFor the last two months men of the 2nd WIRTENBERGISHE Landwehr\nDivision Recruiting Depot, with headquarters at CHAMPIGNEULLE,\nhave boon working on the trenches; deopening them and building\ndeop dugouts capable of housing 50 to 100 men each. about 2000\nmen are attached to the depot. Two lines of trenches, each line\nprotected by a belt of wire, have beun built southeast of CHAM-\nPIGNEULLES filling up a gap in the KRIEMHILDE from 296.5-287.1\nto 297.6-285.5. A new switch line runs from the latter point\nto 295.5-285, excepting a gap of some 200 netens'a Hill 182,\njust north of ST. JUVIN. Six kilometers south of the KRIEMHILDE,\njust south of EXERMONT, an extension of a trench has been made,\nrunning south from 301, 1-280.5 to 299.9-279.1. The extension\nis protected by a belt of wire.\nFor a nonth and a half Pionecrs have been mining the CHEVIERES-\nST. JUVIN road, from 294.9-286.1 to 296.2-285.6.\nA new narrow guage is being built north from ST. JUVIN and\nconnects with the line running south from THENORGUES. This\nline would probably have been completed in two weeks.\nHe lists emplacements at the following points:\nMachine Gun Enplacements\n101.2-81.2\n96.9-86.2\n97.5-87.95\n97.7-83.4\n94.2-86.5\n97.6-83.2\n94.7-86.3\n97.6-82.85\n94.9-86.2\n97.5-82.6\n95.1-86.1\n96.1-81.4\n97.7-80.2\nMinenworfer Emplacements\n97.6-88.1\n97.7-80.1\n95.3-83.5\n97.7-79.9\n97.6-83.5\n102.3-81.3\n96.2-81.5\nArtillery Emplacements\n95.4-86.0\nVIII. ENEMY AERIAL ACTIVITY:\nEnemy aerial activity slightly increased over yosterday. A\nnumber of pursuit planes seen all along the front. At 18:30 three\npatrols (17 planes), probably chasse machines, were seen in the\nregion west of the MEUSE.\nA few reconnaissance planes reported in the region of the\nMOSELLE and east of VERDUN. No deop reconnaissance planes soen.\nHostile balloons wore rather unactive.\nIX. MISCELIANEOUS:\n(Airplane Photographs)\nA number of enemy acrial photographs havo fallen into our hards.\nThese include several excellent mosaics, which scem to have béen\nmade through some othor agency than the ordinary plate camora. The\ncontinuity of the roads, railroads and ground forms indicate that the\npictures making up the mosaic were all taken at the same altitude\nand at exceedingly short intorvals. Porforations appear"
