gagged. The only means of strengthen

moving troops from some other point
Of the front.
1t seems inevitable one or the other
of the armies must break under the
terrific strain. This week, the third
of the fighting. surely will see the tide
Of victory swing to one side or the
other.
At the eastern end of the battle front,
where, 1t is generally believed the Ger
mans have managed to secure a foot
hold on the west side of the Meuse,
south Of Verdun, the invaders are
struggling most vigorously to swing
their line to the northwest and thus
form a complete circle of steel around

wounded soldiers from the front de-
clare that the people at large can have
no conception of the tremendous nature
of the war operations. The meagre Of
fetal bulletins convey only feeble idea
of the vastness and violence of the
struggle.
The strain Of this modern fighting is
something never known before, and
this conflict probably will go down
in history as the longest battle known
to mankind
At every point where the hostile lines
are within seven miles of each other
the troops are under continual fire
Some times troops lie in their wet, cold
muddy trenches for days under fire
from an enemy that cannot be seen.
The enemys right wing is not only
strongly intrenched, it is stated, but
he has constructed almost impregnable
barricades of barbed wire, saplings and
iron bars intertwined with the trees
growing in the road and at the sides
OF the fields These are all commanded
not only by field artillery, but by rapid
fire guns and can be attacked by the
Allies under cover of darkness only.
The international public has an i'm
perfect idea of the colossal nature of
the operations. The vast number of
men engaged the tremendous area of
the operations, the fierceness Of the
attacks and counter attacks, the ter
rife bombardmeuts and the reckless
dash and bravery are not realized; the
exhaustion Of the troops; the suffering
from wet, cold weather and lack Of
provisions are not fully appreciated

considered essential that the German

due to the increased ferocity of the at

French are trying to encircle General
Won Kluk's army and are meeting with
violent counter attacks.

Rering loss of life that has resulted in
the present conflict, but it is uuofti-
cially estimated that the Germans have f.
lost 200 coo men in killed, wounded and F..

The desperate efforts of the Germans /
to smash the allied line indicates that
they are endeavoring to conclude the
