heaviest ocnccntration of troops'
is also along this section which 1

tin- morning west of the Meuse
with a heavy bombardment fol
lowed by infantry attacks in force
(gainst several French positions.
Later the Germans commenced
a tremendous cannonade which
has continued without interrup
tion and is excelled in violence
only by the artillery action
against the Verdun forts. The
1 rench are holding their places
uid their artillery lire is offsetting
that of the Germans. Genera!
Petain, who is in charge of trie
rench operations is confident

able to force the Verdun de
fenses. “1 am certain of final
success," he said today. “The
