Their losses frequently exceed those Of the artillery regiments, the fatalities in which are, in turn, greater in number than those in the aviation corps. When other troops cross an exposed position, for in stance, they usually do SO at the double-quick, and seek shelter as soon as possible. The engineers Often find themselves under fire at a time when they must stick to their work until it is finished.
