Reports from all of the chief capi- tals of Europe agree as to the suc- cesses of the Germans before Yer dun and 1t now looks as though they would capture the fortress. They
 will, however, capture nothing but hollow shell, as dispatches show
 that General Pfau has used great strategy in giving way before the attacks of the Germans. In fact
 according to French militarists. the cost to the Germans in men and 1 military equipment offsets many times the importance of the victory
 they will have gained if they event ually do make the capture of Yer | dun
 A London dispatch says that the advance trenches of the Germans in one place, northeast of the city, are now located within three-Quar- | ters of a mile of the main strong
 hold. The French are still defend ing other outposts several times further from the main fort. The last stand, however, will be made | in Verdun proper. It is expected that the Germans will make the final assault within the next A
 hours, and the French are preparing 1 themselves to meet it.

 hold AS hours to hold out. The ac'
 vance of the Germans was made on

It is admitted in Paris that the French fortress of Verdun is on the verge of falling. Both Berlin and Paris report today that the Germans were successful in their assault on Hill BOA. but the French report is to the effect that the French forces, by a brilliant counter attack, succeeded in driving the Ger mans from the trenches before they had secured a firm foothold. The Berlin dispatch, however, denies the Paris statement and says that the Germans are now firmly en- trenched on Hill BOA. from where the German artillery can reduce the main defenses of Verdun in a few hours.
 Fighting is also reported on other parts of the western battle line in France. Between Nieuport and Lom- bartsyde, in Belgium, the French are reported to have repulsed a German attack, while the Germans have been forced to retreat from their trenches between Chaulnes and Rove, their losses being very heavy, according to Paris dispatch. Two German cavalry patrols were caught between Disc and Aisne by French artillery fire and dispersed with heavy losses.
