FRENCH RECITAL is GIVEN
OF VERDUN WAR ACTIVITIES
ny AssoelA1Eo sRsssN

PARIS, Feb. 26-Military activi
tiles in the vicinity OF verdun in the
month of February are described in
an official recital given out In Paris
which reads as follows:
The Investment of verdun always
had been one of the objects of the
German general STAFF and the meas
ures they have taken to this end
have been both costly and useless.
The German offensive movement to
the southeast OF the sentrenched
camp OF the Mouse. was checked at
st. Mihiel and the enemy could not
stand against the eastern defences nf
this locality. All along the heights
Of the Meuse the line OF battle has
remained unchanged for several
months past, When the Germans
moved forward they were successful
in gaining foothold southeast of ST..
Mihiei. They occupied vigneulleus
and Hattonchatel and the forest Of
Montague. Further to the north,
however. they could not maintain
their former gains aud later French
troops occupied the northern extreni-
sity Of the heights Of the Meuse. At
the village OF Desaparges N the; val
ley OF the Mouse the enemy had taken
d strong position hut we were sue
tcesafuI In dfiying them from It in
spite % their furious defence.

sustained injuries that resulted in his
death and a number OF other members
OF the sheriff's posse were badly. in-
jured, was still in session today. Sner-
in G. u. Conway, who headed the
posse that was attacked by the strik-
ers, was the principal witness before
the investigating body this afternoon.
Altogether nearly a hundrede wit
nesses have been examined.
Prosecuting Attorney Tusca3 Morris
said 1t was probable that as many as
fifty indictments would he returned
by the grand jury by Saturday evelt-
ing.
Reports from the strike zone today
say that the miners from mine No. .
are apparently tired of the strike and
willing to return to work a meet
ing was called Thursday night but
1t is said only sixty OF the strikers
were present and little interest was
shown. However. the reports say;
