GERMAN LOSSES AHALF MILLION
 BEFORE vERDUN
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

VERDUN, Sept. 2-(Via Paris, Sept. 3)-Under the escort of General D.
 -, commander of the citadel of Verdun, throughout the lombard ment. the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press today made a circuit of the entire town and surrounding forti- fications and heard the grim old hero sum up just what had been done and how the military balance sheet stands after many months struggle,
 It gave the first opportunity to view the extent of the recent destruction and particularly the defences since the French turned the tide by taking the offensive and recapturing the strategic key of Fleury.
 One of the outstanding impressions from the tour was the absolute convic- ton of those on the ground that the light for Verdun is over
 The German losses in the effort tC take Verdun now are known to reach ] half million men, while the French losses in holding up the town are less than half that number
 It is the belief that the Germans will 1 gradually let 70 of Verdun, and before winter will try to shorten their lines l along the whole western front by i steady retrograde movement Many of 7icers say that Rumania's entrance into the war will preciptate the withdrawa and early German collapse. But more | conservative authorities feel that Ger many will hang on for some time be ! fore yielding to the entente allied mill J tary and economic superiority. 1 An intermittent bombardment is stil l going on from Port Tavennes. Sou | ville, St. Michael and Belleville. Th' 1 Germans cannon sounded like distan
 -oar. and each day seems yet furthe away and less terrible.
 But the smelling goes steadily on, an' | 5000 shells have fallen ineide tn limits of Verdun during the battle The daily number of these shells wa set down below 900 and one ,Gay 75 I were counted.
 The terrible extent of the destruction
 was pointed out during the course O the tour The town itself is utterl
 abandoned, not even soldiers being per
 mitted in the streets. Such shops an
 houses as escaped the shells are close
 and barricaded The whole lines c , streets are crumbling ruins with onl , a jagged wall remaining.
