GERMAN RANKS Trimmed BY
STORM OF FRENCH STEEL
Terrific Struggle for Road Leading to
Douaumont Given Up After
Eight Attacks.

PARIS, March ct is stated semi
officially that the battle at Verdun
continued yesterday throughout the
day with the same intensity and with
out causing any change in the respec-
tive positions of the opposing armies.
Fighting is still going on for definite
possession of the village of Douau-
mont.
French artillery Immediately opened
a heavy fire which separated the first
wave of Germans from their rein
forcements. Nevertheless the fresh
troops came on, and observers saw
plaintly the tragic spectacle of lines
of men plunging into that storm of
steel and emerging, thinned to halt
their strength. Some contingents lost
six out of every ten before even hav-
ing fired a shot.
The survivors, undaunted, resolutely
stormed the French trenches and
fought hand-to-hand in fierce melees
at the outskirts of the village. The
bitterest fighting was for possession
of the road leading TO Douamont, the
advantage of which was obvious. The
Germans charged eight times there.
The supreme effort was carried out
by six regiments, advancing in close
formation.
French machine guns did grewsome
execution in the mass, and French in
fantry held carefully under cover until
the advancing force approached the
trenches, and leaped out to meet the
onrush with cold steel. The fighting
was finished in a few minutes. The
Germans retired, leaving hundreds
torn and tangled in the barbed wire
defenses and thousands laid low by
machine gun shots and bayonets.
The Germans in their assaults are
using several sorts of burning liquid
projectors. One Of these is in the
form of a small tank. which is carried
on the back, filled with a composition
liquid which seems TO be mostly kero-
sene. Attached TO the nozzle is ar
igniting apparatus. The liquid is pro.
jected by means of hand pump. The
radius of action of the oil depends or
the skill and the physical effort of the
man who projects IL, but IL is ordina'
rily from sixty to ninety feet.

Jan. 10, the British battleship King
Edward VII The greater part of the
ships captured were sunk. says the

including the British steamer Appam
brought under a German prize crew,

At noon yesterday the battleship
Texas quietly weighed anchor in the
navy yard and set out 10 sea. As she
passed under the Manhattan and Brook

and officers on the vessel declared she
was sailing under sealed orders. Laden
with ammunition, fuel and supplies and
provisions. the warshlp is ready for q

During the visit Of Secretary Daniels
TO the yard on Wednesday afternoon
some important machinery broke down.
The break was not made public until it
had been repaired, an operation that
usually takes week. The speed with
which the repairs were made is con-
sidered by the officers at the yard as
an indication of the present readiness
of the navy for any emergency.
