FORSEES RAPID
FALL OF VERDUN
German Army Expert Explains
Why Fortress is Bound
to Surrender Soon.
CBy the Sun News seryiceD

London, July &-The fall Of verdun is

semi-officisl statement. obviously gov
ernnent inspired, which is printed
throughout the German press
The author, Mai. D. Won Schreiber-
shofen, gives a detailed strategic descrip-
ton of the attack intended to prove that
the French resistance of over four
months is nearing an end.
The article says. in part
The northeast front OF the fortress
zone OF Verdun was marked by three
great fortified works. 1t was protected
by the fortress Of Douaumont, which was
on the northeast wing OF the whole front;
by the Thiaumont field works. which lay
in the middle, and by works on the Cote
de Froide Terre, which were the key to
the southwest wing and held the ap-
proach to the Meuse.
After storning Fort Douaunnont and
the whole works OF Vaux. which lay fur
ther south. an attack was made on the
works OF Thiamont, which were cap
tured by a victorious advance OF the Ger
man troops. The capture Of the enemy
work itself was a great success, which
was further increased by taking all the
neighboring positions.
In spite of their efforts in bringing up
heavy re-enforcements, the French are
not in a position to dominate their front.

Fleury. the foremost German line now

"A Characteristic feature OF the Ger
man attack before Verdun consists
therefore, in the fact that now the

this section has been stormed, and the
foremost German troops have como quite
close TO the inner line defense, most
extraordinarily favorable conditions for
