FIERCE BATTLE At YERDUK

Special By United Press Wire.
Paris. March s:-Renewal of the
severe fighting around Verdun, re-
ported In official dispatches today,
convinced French military experts
that the present German offensive is
the real thing"
German dead are now strewn about
the Verdun woods and hills until the
fields from a distance seem to be
covered with a strange, grey green
growth. Not alone because the Teu-
tons have suffered enormous losses,
but for other reasons, Paris critics
do not believe the Verdun attack u
feint.
French leaders certainly are not un-
mindful of the possibility of the sud-
den German thrust in the Campagne
or near Paris along the Aisne. The
massing of artillery and infantry
around Verdun, however, leads critics
to expect heavy onslaught against the
French citidel from the east or the
touth.
The soft ground east of Verdun
does not favor the great employment
of artillery to blaze the way by a
deluge of shells. Consequently infan-
try must storm the heights with heavy
sacrifices. For this reason the heav-
lest German blow may fall south of
the sectors where fighting is now 60
