with the frequency and intensity OF
the infantry attacks eclirses any

The Germans arc hurrying into &C

For the past 70 hours, military

There are widespread rumors that
large Austrian force is en- route
to the western front, either to take
over a portion of the German line or
TO participate directly In the fight
ing at verdun.
From the Swiss SOURCES came the
report that the aged Emperor Franz
Josef asked that Austrian troops be
allowed to share In the grand as
sault on the French fortress. In
some quarters 1t is believed the
Austrian offensive against the Ital-
ians was delivered TO conceal the
shifting Of large Austrian forces to
the western front.
Before the end OF the week II Is
believed here the crown prince will
be hammering against the French
lines with a force numbering nearly
600, 900 men.
Faced with these reports, the
French public remained utterly calm

being scanned with an interest an

the FIRST blow against the fortress.
But there is not the slightest doubt
that Gen. Niyelle, is forced 10 re-
