(By Herbert Temple)

LONDON, Sept. 26.-That a desperate
attack of Germans on the line of the
French Notifications, between Verdun
and Toul, on the River Meuse, is bear
ing fruit, is indicated by an official
admission at Paris that the Germans
have succeeded in crossing the Meuse.
Though the official statement says the
greater part Of the attacking forces
were driven back across the river, it
does rot account for those remaining
on the west bank. If strong force
remains there, it may prove highly
dangerous to the allies.
Verdun is the keystone of the de-
fense and if the Germans succeed i'll
capturing it they would be able To
align their armies on an almost
