? western campaign in their at-'
tempt to break the l'rench de~ j
fense of Verdun, they are still
as far from achieving their olr

The official announcement to

every point along the battle line

in* addition have compelled the
enemy to give ground at sever
al points. • I
For violence, carnage and gen
eral savagery the battle for the
possession of France’s greatest
fortress is characterized as the
greatest in the history of the
world and the utter failure of the
Germans is looked upon as equal
to a great victory.
I’lie news that the French are!

| not gel by, were, nevertheless,
I visibly worried at the ferocity
and determination with winch
the crown prince sent his soldiers
forward. The official communi
■ (pie today says the French have
! penetrated and continue to Bold
I the German trenches between
the Maudramont stone quarries
and Thiernwnt farm despite sav
age attempts of the Germans to
regain the lost positions.
German infantry attacks in
the vicinity of Le Mort Homme
I (Deadn.<.n hill) were repulsed
during the night but the Gei~
man artfillery is stationed where
a murderous tire can be main
taincd against the famous and
well named, hill and continual
cannonading is going on in an
attempt to drive the French
away from the disputed positions
which have been fought over so
many times during the weeks of
furious struggle. The French
a'l > made distinct progress in
the section west of Fort Doua
mont and north of the Thiermont
farm.
The communique says that the
violent continuity and, above all
the extent of the present phase
of the great struggle dwarfs
everything that has gone before.
It is not an isolated drive, that
the Germans are making nor is
it at one set of positions on one
side of the Meuse. Thc report
states that the fighting is going
. iti with indescribable intensity
land is a general pitched battle
i between the two armies with
alternating attack and defense
that does not cease either night
or day It is generally felt here
ti. * the Germans have made
then supreme effort and it has
failed completely as they have
not only made no substantial
gains but in several situations
are occupying ground almost as
far removed from tile first lines
as was the case several weeks
ago.
Military critics arc anticipat
ing that the German papers will
soon make no effort to conceal
thes impotence of the great
struggle.
