Battle at Verdun Now De-
scribed as in Final Stage


With the French army at Yer
dur, Sept. 10. The Germans are
now entirely on the defensive at
Nerdun.
The great battle begun 2Ol
DAYS ago has entered its third
and final stage. The French are
steadily winning back their lost
positions. The battle will grad
ually die out like an extinct vol
cano.
1t has been learned definitely
that the Germans were forced to
remove huge quantities of artll-
lery and men from verdun to
the Somme front three weeks
ago, to meet the new Anglo
French offensive. This had an
immediate effect upon morals OF
the remaining men. In Februa'
ny they had been told they were
to capture Verdun. At the end
of July they were told it would
be sufficient simply to dominate
the situation there. But when
they been reduced in numbers
merely to a defensive garrison
after nearly seven months fight
ing, their morals was so shatter-
ed that groups of prisons have
been surrendering, some of them
going through Verdun singing
the "MarseiIles." French officers
declare.
The seventh and last great
German massed attack was. made
on both banks of the Mouse on
July 10. The French checked
this blow Immediately and took
the offensive. Ever since that
time they have retained the ini-
tia;ive, capturing in ,h, ir opera.
tons more than 10, 900 prisoners.
a score Of cannon and 100 ma
chine guns. Fighting on the
west bank of the Mouse has
practically ceased. Hill 304 and
Dead Mans Hill are now num-
bered among the glories of the
past.
East of the river the Germans
are concentrating for a final des-
perate struggle. Even on this
sector their resistance has been
immeasurably weakened. This
fact | was able to ascertain per-
sonally Thursday and Friday,
when the German bombardment
let loose a prelude to an attempt
to recapture trenches captured
by the French in the Vaux Chap
tire and Chenois woods on We'd
nesday. This cannonading was
Incompatible to. the terrific fire
from the German guns that
