LORD NORTHCLlFFE BELIEVES
CONFLICT IN THIS REGION
HAS NOT REACHED CLIMAX
OF INTENSITY.
DECLARES FRENCH LOSS
SLIGHT IN COMPARISON
kaiser's Men Made Good Many Of
Faults Made by British at CALI
poll, He Asserts-Accurate In
formation Given by Teuton
Deserters.

London, March IAN account of the
present situation around Verdun, writ
ten by Lord Northcliffe, is published
in the Times.
The writer believes the conflict here
has not yet reached the climax of in
tensity and that the Germans will face
even greater losses and resort to new
expedients before accepting repulse.
Nevertheless, Lord Northcliffe's
viewpoint is optimistic. He dilates on
the s~lightness of the French losses as
compared with those of the Germans.
The German losses, he estimates at
100, 900 men.
The following are some of the strik-
ing passages from Lord Northcliffe's
story:
Plans Given by Deserters.
What are the secret motives N
derlying the German attempt to break
the French line at Verdun, in which
the crown princes army is mourning
such appalling losses? Is it financial,
in view of the coming war loan? Is
it dynastic, or is it Intended to in
fiuence doubling neutrals?
From the evidence of the German
deserters it is known that the attack
was originally intended to take place
a month or two hence when the ground
was dry. Premature spring caused the
Germans to accelerate their plans.
There were two final delays owing to
bad weather, and then came the colos-
sal onslaught of February 81.
French Fully Warned.
"The Germans made a good many
of the faults the British made at Gal
lipoli. They announced that some
thing large was pending by closing the
Swiss frontier. The French were
fully warned by their own astute in
telligence departments.
Their a%eroplanes were not idle and
if confirmation were needed it was
given by deserters, who surmising the
horrors to come, crept out of the
trenches at night and lay down by
the edge of the Meuse until morning
and then gave themselves up, together
with information that has since proved
accurate.
Gigantic Effort Frustrated.
Things went wrong with the Ger
mans in other ways. A Zeppelin that
Yves to have blown up important rail-
way functions on the French line of
communication was brought down at
Revigne. Then the gigantic effort OF
February Fl was frustrated by the
GOODNESS and tenacity of the French
soldiers and the deadly curtain of fire
Of their gunners."

POPE MAKES PLEA FOR PEACE
DECLARES THIS WAR APPEARS
AS SUICIDE OF EUROPE.
Pontiff in Special Lenten Letter Says
He Cannot Sit Silent When
Conflict RACES.

Rome. via Paris, March Z. Pope
Benedict has again raised his voice
for peace. In a special letter written
for the Lenten season the pontiff says
he cannot sit silent, Indifferent to the
terrible conflict which is rending Eu-
rope.
He recalls all that he has done to
induce the ~coutending nations to lay
down their arms, virtually throwing
himself between the b%elligerents and
c%onjuring them in the name of the AL
mighty to desist in their plan of mu-
tual destruction.
The pontitf again sets forth the pro-
posal which he maze some months
ago as follows:
Proposal to ReiIigerents.
Each belligeremt should clearly
state his desires, but should be ready
to make necessary sacrifices of pride
and particular interests, thus ending
the monstrous conflict In accordance
with justice and re-establishing peace;
advantageous to neither side, but prof
liable to all, and therefore a just and
lasting peace.
This paternal voice." continues the
pope, was not heard. Thus the war
continues with all it's horrors. / re-
joice that our cry for peace has had a
profound echo in the hearts of the bel
ligerent peoples, indeed the peoples of
the whole world and has aroused a
deep desire to see the sanguinary con
fict soon cease.
Il must, therefore, once more raise
my voice against this war which APP
pears as the suicide of civilized Eu-
