Unofficial commentators in entente
capitals admit themselves at a loss to
determine as yet whether the German
drive has spent its force or whether
the pause is simply the prelude to its
renewal before the hard-won position
at Nerdun or elsewhere on the front.
Possibly significant in this connec-
ton is the French official statement
That there are signs of German prepa-
ration behind the front west of Pont-a-
Mousson, eighteen miles southwest of
Metz and in the Moselle river region.
The French guns have been pounding
the second and third line German po-
sitions here, while an intermittent
bombardment has been going on at
various points between Regnieville and
Remenauville, some half-doZen miles
west of Pont-a- Mousson.
To-day's bulletin from Berlin con-
hrms the French account of infantry
inactivity along the front, the Yer
dun operations not being mentioned in
the official statement. 1t is announced.

ly that of the allies was notably ac-
tive in various sections of the front,
the region between the AIeuse and the
Moselle, the Champagne and User re-
gion being particularly mentioned.
The bringing down of three allied
aeroplanes by the Germans was an
nounced.
Apparently the recent German at
tack in the Champagne was nothing
more than one of the numerous local
operations such as the Germans car
ried out in several sectors of the front
from time to time in the three weeks
preceding the Verdun offensive. as it
has not so far been followed up. Dis

be more likely to spread to the south

pointed TO in this connection.
