in the intensity of bOmbardment on
the various sectors around Verdun,
and only one infantry attack was at

by the Germans on the part of the
village of Fleury, northwest of Ver-
dun, which was held by the French.

tack against the British southeast OF

trenches inficting casualties on the
defenders and taking some prisoners.
Four German aircrafts have been
brought down by British airmen in
aerial flights. The British lost one
machine.

LAW AND tACTICE Of
ALLIES NOT USIFOR

LONDON, February 12.-The belief
strongly urged by the British press
that merchant ships or all the allied
nations would be similarly affected by
any restrictions on their carrying arma-
ment or neutral passengers has de
veloped the fact that the law and
practice OF all the allies is not uniform
concerning tho arming OF merchant
vessels.
The British and Italian practice
recognizes armament for defensive pur.
poses, and the prevailing view ex-
pressed by the press Is that such Is
recognized right under international
law. But the French practice does not
recognize tho arminE OF merchant
ships. and French liners to New York
are not permitted to carry any guns.
Tho legal theory on which tho
French practice is based is an out
growth OF the principle that guns are
the property OF the King. and that no
private individual or ship shall be per.
mitted to use them. In case French
merchant ship mounta guns. 1t irnmodi-
ataly becomes ? naval auxlNArs
