PARIS, March 13.-There was no
infantry lighting last night in the
region to the north OF Verdun. ac-
cordlng to the announcement of the
French war Office today.
There has been. however. con-
tinuance of the artillery activity along
all this front.
During the night group OF French
aviators threw down thirty shells of
large callber ut the railroad station
of Contains. Flames were seen
breaking out at five different points.
In spite of violent cannonade. all
the French AeroplAnes succeeded in
getting back without suffering dam
age.
The German losses In the fighting
around Fort Vauc last Friday and
Saturday surpass all previous records
In this war. according to officers who
have returned from Verdun. Time
and time again and with extraordi-
nary courage. the Germans, in col
umns four deep. rushed from their
trenches only to melt away under the
fire of the French guns. which rafned
shells with deadly accuracy into the
marching companies.
The spur on which the fort Is sit
uated Is almost perpendicular in GER
tain places. The German lines were
forced to halt. but many BayarIan
reservists climbed up on one anothers
shoulders and struggled up the slope
clfnging to angles Of rock and grasp
ing tufts of grass. Again and again
these human pyramids collapsed into
shapeless masses. In the places
where the incline was easier and the
attack therefore more concentrated,
the bitches below ran red with blood.
AT the lowest estimate the attackers
lost two-thtrds Of their effectiveness.
