Whole Area Within Salient Is a
Vast Fertilization; Thousands
of Guns Command Paths of the
Germans.

What motives acluated the German
general staff in sending the crown
princes army in present tremendous
onslaught directly against Verdun it.
SELF instead of as in the previous at
tacks, against the northern flank OF
the fortress, in the ArgOnne west OF
the Meuse, in the hope of isolating it,
are not yet clear
Verdun lies in the extreme point OF
a great salient angle Of the French
lines If it were lost the French
could fall back, at most, to the line
of the Aire and have straighter line
than before, and the Germans would
have to embark on further attacks.
Even if they reached Aire, the ".
mans really would be no nearer Paris
than they have been for a year and
a half past along the Aisne, and they
a:,lsof woaid haze many miles to so he
before threatening the great trunk
railways from Paris to Nancy Toul
Epinal and Befort and the, Vosges
front. ..
Would Strengthen Germans.
The Germans, however, would have
immensely strengthened their own
position from the defensive point.
Verdun is OF more importance to the
French as a threat to the German
Argonne position on one side and the
st. Mihiel salient on the other, and
as a starting point for a future at
tack on Metz, than it is as Il defense
point.
The present battle raging around
Verdun is the greatest on the west
ern front since the Champagne and
Artois battles last September, and
by far the greatest German attack
in the west since the first battle of
Ypres in November, 1914. The front
attacked by the Germans is nearly
as long as the front in Champagne
on which the French advanced last
September, the attacking forces EN-
ployed must be nearly as large, and
the amount of ground gained com
pares favorably with the amount OF
ground taken by the French on that
occasion. If only as showing that
the Germans still have men enough
to take the offensive on large scale
in the west the attack possesses great
significance.
Whole Salient Fortification.
The whole area within the threat
ened salient, however, if accounts are
true, is one vast fortitication. Amer
ican correspondents have been taken
over part of the Verdun lines, and
have reported that .Aey form laby'
rinth, line within line, with immense
subterranean passages in the rock
hundreds OF feet below the earth's
surface, and with hundreds of guns
of all calibre mounted on track
ready to be rushed from point to
point hundreds of steel turrets and
thousands of machine guns.
