French defenses northwest of Verdun,
late yesterday. The war Office an
nounced today that the assault was
stopped by a curtain Of fire from
French guns.

fortified height. They Immediately
came upon the strong fire OF French
guns from a neighboring hill and but
a few German detachments succeeded
in leaving their own trenches. The
attack was completely stopped. The
night was calm on the whole Verdun
front
The Germans for the past twenty
four hours have been bringing up
fresh forces to the Verdun front, con-
centrating apparently for another
heavy smash west Of the Meuse Some
OF the fresh divisions are reported TO
be coming from the Russian front. The
German front in France and Flanders
has been so thoroughly stripped OF
all reserves that no more large forces
can. be withdrawn for action at YER

To protect the thin German line
west Of Verdun. the Germans have
established a bristling array Of ma

pedoed. II believes the Sussex hit
a mine. and points out that as
many as twenty-six floating mines
have been destroyed by the Ger

The vessel sunk is claimed to have
conducted itself like a mine-layer.
