Sapper Tells of Setting
Off Mine Which Shot
Germans High in Air
By Associated Press

Paris. March Eve were in n
front line trench on the slope of Cote
Du Poivre," said wounded sapper
who has returned to 4 hospital. The
captain sent me forward to a small
shelter in the open where the cleo
trio contact had been placed which led
to a mine field. l crawled through
it along a narrow tunnel without mis-
hap.
Through a slit I looked out on
the battlefield as through the opening
in a theater curtain. | saw the Ger
mans after long waiting, march for
ward in good order. They thought
from their observation that the bonn
bardment had sufficiently devastated
our trenches, but they were unable to
see that our men held firm and were
making fresh trenches and using shell
Craters.
The Germans were 200 yards from
my post when our rifles and machine
guns opened fire. They were taken
by surprise and crouched down. When
the order was passed along their line
to advance they began to sing The
Watch on the Rhine and dashed for
ward.
My heart beat madly. They were
over the mine at last. ] touched the
button. An informal fountain seemed
to shoot up, in the midst of the mass
of men in gray, with majestic whirl
OF smoke. L saw men go up as if
shot from the crater of a volcano.
The attack was stopped. 1 crawled
back to my trench. l had barely
emerged from the tunnel when l felt
a burning sensation in my shoulder
and tainted. When I recovered con-
sciousness l found myself in an am
bulance."

The bombardment to the north of
Verdun which continued with great
violence during the preceding night,
slackened yesterday before the Wig
orous response Of the French artillery
and the desperate attacks which had
been made under cover of darkness
by the German infantry in the Douau-
mont region We're not renewed. The
French troops still surround the ruin
ed fort of Douaumont in which several
hundred Germans are cut Off. The
line from Douaumont to Les de PoiVre
has been more solidly fortified and is
now in a condition to resist the most
violent attacks. the bend made by
the Meuse TO the right OF Nerdun is
swept by both the German and the
French artillery and is untenable from
either side.
In Champagne, the Havas Agency
adds. the attack which it was believed
would assume serious proportions
never got beyond purely local opera
tions and does not seem likely to eX-
tend. 1t would be risky at present
to say whether the pause is due to
the fact that the Germans realize that
all efforts to take Verdun are vain
and are simply confining themselves
to defending positions which they
have so dearly bought or whether the
German troops are merely in need OF
a rest before being hurled forward
again to the assault, but the Havas
Agency says the German intentions
will be revealed before the end of the
present week.

Governor Brumbaugh. who return

other counties would take up the
problems with the enthusiasm shown
yesterday The Governor was called

courthouse not being large enough and
the opera house being requisitioned,

Country Around Fort
Forms Natural Rampant
By associated Press

Berlin, March I. via London. March
2.-While in the battle of Ferdun at
tertion is concentrated chiefly on the
spectacular German attack from the
north against the permanent fortress
line, the offensive from the east is no
less deserving Of notice.
To one familiar with this country
which the Associated Press corre-
spondent visited in September, 1914,
during the thrust leading to the cap
ture of st. Nihiel and the reduction of
several other barrier forts in the line
of Verdun-Toul. the offensive from
this direction might seem so imprac-
ticable and hopeless as to be almost
foolhardy. The so-called Cotes Lor-
raine, a lofty plateau serving as a
watershed between the Meuse and
Moselle, rises abruptly from the fiat
plain to a height of 800 to 500 feet
The plateau runs north and south. Be
tween Verdun and Toul the slopes
seemingly are as steep as the side of
q house. The few roads crossing the
Cotes are of serpentine order.
The Germans proved in 1914, how
ever, that this tremendous natural
rampant is not impregnable. General
Strands army carried the heights on u
fifteen- mile front between Combres
and Apremont, although the steep
slopes were defended by triple rows
of trenches which were able to fire
from the shelter of the plateau above
The new advance has brought the
Germans to the foot of the Cotes from
Combres north to Blanzee, east of Yer
dun. The slopes here are even more
abrupt and precipitous than to the
south
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-02

perience leads generally to the rejec-
ton of the view that the Germans
have given up all hope of trying to
capture the Lorraine fortress. 1t is
thought more likely they are merely
resting before starting afresh with
greater energy.
1t is believed in many quarters that
the attack on Verdun was only q pre-
liminary 10 operations on a much
larger scale for the purpose of trying
10 crush the French once and for all.
However that may be, it is affirmed
that General Joffre is fully prepared
for all eVentualities. So far only the
local French reserves have been called
upon at Nerdun, the great general re-
serve force remaining intact for use in
repelling other heavy onslaughts or
for carrying out a great counterattack
when the opportune moment arrives.
The question is raised as to whether
the next German attack will again be
at Verdun or along the front from
the Somme to the Aisne, as it is known
| that the Germans have been making
preparations along the latter lines, the
| southern limit of which is many miles
| nearer to Paris than is Verdun. These
| preparations, however, are not so
| elaborate as those which had been
made for Ferdun, and should the Ger
mans attempt the later plan, the mill
/ tary observers say, they would be
/ liable to a flank attack by the British
in Artois and Flanders.
! On the other hand, if the Germans
! continue their assaults against Verdun
| from the plain of the Woevre, their in
/ fantry will have to attack without the
! support of the heaviest German guns,

England Asks Why Their
Forces Remain InactiUe;
Big Sea Fight Expected
By Associated Press

London, March 2.-There has been
much impatience in England the past
few days because the British on the
west front have been comparatively
inactive, while the French have been
engaged in desperate encounters and
it has been often asked by the man in
the street why is not this the proper
time for q great British offensive to
deliver a smashing blow and relieve
the pressure on the French side.
Some of the special dispatches to
the London morning papers from the
British front endeavor to reply. The
Times says:
1--WE are fretting because the Brit
ish troops are not yet engaged in the
fight. We need not fret. They are
acting closely with the French and
Belgian allies and when the hour
strikes they will take their part"
The Daily Sketch believes that the
British may get a chance soon to take
a hand by the use of their fleet and
quotes Lord Fisher as saying he is
convinced that "a big AnGlo-German
fleet action may take place at any
day or hour now.
