tlons. So terrific was the cannonade
that the blood poured from our ears
and noses from the conclusion.
Far away was heard the continuous
crash Of exploding projectiles as they
fell upon the German lines. and still
farther away in the distance the big
German guns were replying with
steady roar of thunder.'
Great Gaps In Ranks.
A soldier who was in the ranks fight
ing at Ornes told this narrowing story:
II fought since the beginning Of the
war. I saw the shambles at Suippes
and Souain. They were nothing to
what saw at Verdun.
"The Germans advanced, and we re-
tired under orders. but we killed them
by the dozen. It was so terrible that
I, who have watched my comrades
fall around me almost with indiffer-
ence, shudder as my memory recalls
"Eventually we reached Moncourt
and took shelter for a time in the
wood. Although it was o'clock in the
morning, the bursting shells made it as
clear as day, giving the battlefield the
aspect of fairy scene.
Dead Stood In Groups.
From behind US the French artil-
lery fired into the German masses, the
German shells flying over our heads
toward the Douaumont section. Then
our machine guns, placed in batteries
every five yards, began to play, and we
saw the dead in groups. From Mon
court I followed the supply road to
Fleury, where I took the light rail-
way toward Verdun. The heavy guns
near Douaumont and Damloup were
firing as fast as they could be loaded.
when we passed between the two
points the air pressure produced by the
continuous discharges was so terrific
that blood rushed from our ears and
our lungs almost ceased working."
A combatant, who was in one of the
most advanced trenches early in the
battle Of Verdun and who has return
ed to Paris wounded, says:
AT dawn we received orders to
leave the trench and to retire to a
strong position in the 'Vaux woods, in
front of Douaumont Bending low, we
retired the three or four kilometers
through the snow without much loss.
"Once in the new trenches we could
not hear one another speak, so great
was the noise Of the cannonading, and
when we looked through the periscopes
we could only see heavy clouds Of
smoke shutting out the sky with jets
of fire flashing through the snowflakes."

after several days of attacking, had
been withdrawn to the rear to get rest
They laughingly related how they had
always gone farther than they had
been ordered to go. On one occasion
they had been told to take one hill, but
instead they carried three in success
sion. They had now had a welcome
wash, eaten well and slept well and
were ready to get at it again.
"The fresh appearance Of the troops
and their splendid spirits. astounded
me in the face of the signs of such ter
rible fighting. and especially the calm
clear, almost unmoving sureness with
which this titanic undertaking was
being carried through, almost like ma

Stories of French Wounded.
Graphic narratives of the greatest
and most terrible battle in history
were told in Paris. Officers who had
been to the front, most Of them wound
ed, shuddered as they recalled the
sights.
"They came in food, in an endless
wave, those Teuton hordes.'' said one
officer
1.-THE French guns moved them down
in heaps, but still they came, pouring
across the slopes in ceaseless tide of
humanity.
"The German infantry began their
attack on Monday, Feb. p. The first
symptom of the battle favorable to the
French was the inability of the Ger
mans to silence the French artillery.
The offensive opened with strong re-

Then came the infantry in great

French command at this point carried
out maneuver which will be recorded
as masterpiece in military history
The German movements had been
made under the cover Of woods, in
ravines and patiently prepared COM
municating trenches. If the French
had tried to keep in touch with the
enemy they would have been more or
less in the dark and the operation of
their own artillery greatly hampered.

were piled up in mounds. We were so
near them that fragments of bloody
flesh, from human bodies torn asunder
by exploding shells, fell among US.
'That night We spent in Moncourt
under the CHASTITY radiance of star

uously.
Under the lurid glow of these
bombs the bloody battlefield was
shown with its carnage. I saw long

Front Reduced to Nine Miles.

1.-THE effect was that the immediate
front of the attack, which was origi-
nally twenty-five miles in extent, was
reduced to nine miles, but even this
soon proved too wide. The German
losses were so great that the attack
could not be kept up at all points.
"On Friday, the critical day, the front
was reduced to six miles and then to
five. On Monday, Feb. %, the often
sive dwindled to fragmentary attacks"
The following description of the
French retreat from Ornes, six miles
northeast of Verdun, was given by a
wounded French soldier who was in
the engagement:
"On the 21st we started giving ground,
with the Germans at our heels No
sooner had we traversed Ornes, firing
as we went, and taken the road to Mon
court than our artillery opened on the
advancing Germans. I've seen some
bloody fighting in this war, but they
were only sham battles compared with
this conflict. Shell after shell ripped
gaps in the German lines.

season, would result in some 95 vic
tories. Various experts through the
country have estimated that the
American league club which wins 80
games this season will be the organi-
zation's entry in the worlds series
next fall.
The western end of the American
league is just as powerful as the
eastern and possibly carries trife
more class. If the Rowlands can
take an edge more than go per cent
of their engagements with the west
ern clubs they will be up there fight
ing every inch of the way.
Summarizing the work of the club
shows a few spots in the far-famed
wrecking crew, but other fellows
have rushed to fill the gap, and so far
the club is the best runmaking or
ganization in the country. Jack
Fourier is hitting below 200, but
this deficiency is amply made up by
the way Ray SchaIk has been whang-
ing the ball. Ray at present is the
most dependable pinch hitter of the
club and has advanced a man on
tWO-thirds of his opportunities.
Terry has done everything for
which he was tOuted in the field, but
has secured only two hits. He has a
good eye, however, and is getting
many bases on balls. A welI-sharp-
ened eye is the sign of a good batter.
FeIsch is another who is not bat
ting stoutIy, but he has made the
majority of his hits in the pinch. Joe
Jackson is batting well above 300
and Eddie Collins has begun to climb
into the charmed circle. Just how
careful a batter Eddie is can best be
illustrated by the fact that he has
secured II bases on balls in eight
