Indeed, the Siege of verdun h,. !.

has been radically altered. The slsho,'

the eastern gateway into Frsr..
Trenches are now doing the work ~ ~.
permanent fortiications. Extendlns =.
miles beyond the forts are artlllerv a..
infantry positions, dug into the earf
or concealed in wooded lands.
These defenses, in no way anticlpatsa
when the war began, have been preparsa
since the 42-centimetres proved ths N.
tility of fortress warfare. Field taotIs,
therefore, and not the immobe artIIls,v

ing. To surround Nerdun now would
mean to dig an outer circle of intrenoh.
ments facing the trenches occupied by
the French. To do this with safety would
require a stupendous army 1t would
necessitate also a radical extension OF the
German battle front in order to cut Oh
the main French communications with
Verdun.
Furthermore. Verdun, without doubt, d
plentifully stocked with ammunition and
food. An encircling enemy, therefoh.
would be unable to force the surrender
of the French trenches because Of ex.
hausted war stores. In effect, the two
circles of intrenchments would constitute
opposing battle lines. Local engagements
would comi&ise the warfare, and the ring
would duplicate, on small scale, the
problems of the present fighting front
from the North Sea to the Lorraine boun-
dary These are reasons why the fate
of Antwerp and Maubeuge has not over
taken Verdun and why 1t probably viii
not.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-The labor prob

today was the chief objective of the Fed
eral Commission on Industrial Relations
1t is planned during the rest of the week
to call the men who handle big invest
ments to tell how they believe Industrial
unrest can be remedied.
Todays list OF witnesses included Jacob

I'VE hope to determine through these
men, the biggest financiers in the coun-
try, Just what the chief obstacle Is to a
complete understanding between capital
and labor" explained Chairman Walsh
today. In the past hearings the labor
men have blamed the employer and the
employer, while blaming labor, has also
indicated that some OF the big men who
control capital actually are responsible.
With men like Messers, Schifr, Morgan
and others here we can at least get their
views and find out whether they can sug-
gest the solution that up to the present is
missing"

together with the shortage in the number
