a more and more remarkable coop
Grafton of all arms A study of the
progress during the week since the
flrst attack was delivered shows that
guns must have been steadily brought
forward as fast as the infantry clear
ed any French position, there to re-
sumo the work of making the next
position ripe for storming
In view Of the character OF the
ground fought over, the pioneers and
other technical groups must have full
lllled their duties with the utmost
precision and according to prosram.
The fact that the French were unable
10 take any number of prisoners
worth reporting is taken here to in
dlcate that the German troops are
splendidly in hand and carrying out
the work planned for each advance
but arc not advancing farther until
tne ground is preapred for them.
The Germans east of Verdun who
reached the base of the Lorraine hills
sunday appear now to be in a posi-
tlon to bring their guns to bear on
the Verdun forts at the most effective
a'stance. The abandonment by the
