NERDtN FIGHTING CONTINUED
WITH GREAT INTENSITY.

FARlS, March 5.--Acccrdins to semi
official adTiccs, tho fighting at Tcrdun
| continued yesterday Throughout the
dhy with the same intensity and With
out causing any change in the respec-
NN" positions of tho opposing armies
Fighting Is still going on for definite
possession of the village OF Doua,,
mont.
The situation. az result Of this
second rh;s" OF the German offensive
Is REGARDED rs altogether different
! from III" days Of the preceding battle
The heaviest fghtius by tie Germans
was during the first two days of tho
, second attack. For the last forty
eiSht hours they have not advanced
ihc comparison also is in favor OF
me french, by reason of tho fact that
the Germans now have lost the adj
vantage OF surprise. and also bccaus..
IN" ground has been torn up to such
an extent that il cannot he orranizrd
properly.
This Information from semioff,c,a.

moralizing 10 the Germans to see some
