PARIS CLAIMS GERMANS
CHECKED ALL POINTS
A. P. A. Service.
PARIS, March 2.—With the an
nouncement of the war office that the
German assaults along every section
of the front, both at Verdun and In
the Champagne region, are growing
steadily weaker, Paris has commenced
to draw its breath with greater free
dom.
The general staff reports today state
with little reservation that the great
German offensive may now be con
sidered as halted at every point from
Mourmelon to the extreme, eastern
section of the Verdun front.
Along the Woevre plain and in the
region below Fresnes the Germans
continue their lunge* without resu
A series of desultory attacks are also
being launched In Champagne but,
according to the reports, are being
easily withstood without the necessity
of bringing up the reserves. The re
ports, however, admit that the Ger
mans are making rapid shifts of troops
; behind their lines and further often
sive actions may commence at other
points.
The heavy concentration of troops
at Noyon Is causing some uneasiness,
owing doubtless to the close proximity
of Noyon to the capital. The general
staff asserts that the Germans have
suffered indescribable losses in the
Verdun lighting and the blaze of their
vast funeral pyres lights the country
for miles at night.

SEVERE LOSSES

BERLIN. March 1.—The German
offensive along the Verdun front con
tinues steadily, according to the wat
office reports .and the advance of the
German troops under cover of intense
artillery tire proceeds with gains re
ported at various points both north
and east of the French fortress.
The opening in the northern defenses
of Verdun, achieved througti the cap
ture of Fort Douamont, has given the
Germans a point of vantage from
which to carry on the reduction of the
Jnterlying forts of Belleville and Sou'
ville. Heavy artillery is now being
placed for that purpose.

The eausaltics resulting from tho
terrific action maintained along this
front for the past week have admitted
ly been large but have been well re
warded through the capture of posi
tions of the utmost Importance to the
furthei progress of the campaign in
ihlo directon. The situation Is con
sidered most favorable with the ulti
mate reduction of Verdun an Imme

capture of Fort Douamont. Progress
Is also being made In Champagne and

attack along the many soi tlons of the
Verdun front. There has been a
complete rejection of the earlier view
that Germany has given up all hopes
of trying to capture the great Lorraine
fortress and It Is now "Thought that
the Germans are really resting In
