IN A FIGHT ZONE

The Hague, Nov. IA well-known
Dutch journalist who has just returned
from a tour through Alsace-Lorrain3
and right through to the German lines
before Verdun, gives in Het Leven
some interesting pictures Of the posi-
ton on the German frontier and at
the front. Particularly significant ls
what he writes regarding the admitte5
superiority of the French artillery and
the clever ruses they adopt. He
writes:
81 proceeded by train to Metzland,
thence set off by motor, with an Ober
lieut. anant as an escort, to visit the
fighting line. Across the French
| frontier and on past Latour and
Woevre we met an ever-increasing
number of infantry, artillery and
transport columns and the further we
went the buster became the scene.
German officers to whom l spoke
in this neighborhood were by no means
satisfied over the progress of affairs;
there was no progress to be noted.
principally because the French artll-
lery had proved itself superior to the
German. The French seem to have
dragged their heavy guns out of the
fortress and to have placed them in
the open field. Moreover, it is as
serted that the French artillery can
reach at least two kilometers farther
than that of the Germans.
ave passed on by st. Hilaire and
Dutgneville 10 Harville, where we
were only twelve kilometers from the
great fortress of Verdun, whose guns
were sending out their terrible mes
sengers of death. Not far from that
point was a magnificent battery of
thirty centimeter motor howitzers. /
was rot allowed to approach it, but
4 German officers told me that the Aus
/ trians had suffered terrible losses.
+ The French shells raked down the
best sheltered positions fact which
gave the Austrians much food for
+ thought. At last they found the solu-
ton. In a tree close to their bat
terry, they found a Frenchman armed
with a field telephone who promptly
informed Verdun of any change in
the position Of the Austrian guns.
The brave Frenchman was given short
shrif... But the instance does not
stand alone. Repeatedly have the
/ Germans found country people in trees
and in cellars, all with pocket tele-
phones.
"The Germans have made such ac-
tions almost impossible now, but still
they admit they are not by long
way where they would like to be.
Everywhere l heard in Germany Of
fcers and soldiers alike speaking with
great Joy Of the fall Of the Fort de
Camp des Romans. Now, at last,
there was a gap in the line Of forts.
At the fighting line itself / heard a
very different story Yes, they had
taken the fort and the Bavarian sold
iers had acted magnifcently, but
whether they could hold the fort was
another question. The French guns
in the forts Of Paroches and Leonyille
were SO excellent that they completely
covered the Camp des Romans and
the gap was no gap at all"

banks have been living up to this re-
quest very well, but many of them
felt that inasmuch as commercial pa

Jacob H. Schiff, the New York
banker, who recently gave out a
strong statement, In which he insist
ed that this country should pay its
foreign obligations, even at the ex-
pense of It's gold supply made an
other statement at his New York Of
flee this morning in explanation of
the stand which he previously had
taken.
Mr.. Schiff's statement is as follows.
such widespread and extraordi-

tation has arisen as to Mr.. Schifrs
proposal at the recent meeting OF

deems It right to state concisely what
he did say and propose.
"He advocated that such of our
debts in Europe as are not covered by
the provisions of the existing morato.
rum, and in particular the maturing
obligations of municipalities like the
city of New York or of railroads and
other corporations, held by the pub
lie in Europe, should be paid unques-
tionably and unhesitatingly when
due, and that to the extent that the
means for making such payments
abroad cannot be obtained through
exchange transactions, they must be
provided through the export of gold
even If this involves some strain upon
ourselves. He is convinced that this
course is imperatiely called for both
by good business policy and by the
consideration of our good name
abroad, and for the preservation oi
those credit facilities for our mer-
chants, and that market for our se-
curities. among European investors
which are as essential for us, fol
some time to come, as they have beer
