ATTACK ON FRESNES Line
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,

Iiltu iItoi SIAN correspondent.
PARIS. March 1O.-With blasting
hurricanes Of shell fire and furious in
feutry lighting. the battle for verdun
is now entering the third and what
may be the final phase.
The Germans are throwing massed
battalions against the French center
Ground Fort &c Vaux. They are as
sailing the French left on the west
bank Of the Meusc i'm charge after
charge. Their big guns are opening
a heavy attack on French lines south
east OF Verdun from the direction Of
Fresnes.
All military experts here are
united in the belief that Germany is
prepared to make sacrifices un-
equalcd in this war. French com
manders arc without the semblance
OF fear as to the outcome. Colonel
Rousset. retired, declares that Ger.
many planned a mighty blow against
Vordun and II it fails now. the check
TO German arms will be irreparablc.
Other experts agree with him.
The first phase OF the battle must
have been disappointing to the Ger
mans, il is believed here. German
infantry captured only advanced
French positions that had been blown
to pieces by lavish waste Of shells.
The Germans we're checked and moved
down when they rolled up against
the bulwarks to which the French
had retired.
The second phase of the struggle
was necessarily one OF preparation.
The Crown Prince rearranged his ar
tillery There was evident that he
has rcarranged his plans. too, the first

{ are seemingly preliminary TO a grand
assault when the Crown Prince will

! low victory for the Germans.

they think it should be restricted to

"No one doubts the wisdom Of the
