at that point
In this case having found insuperabc obstacles in
the direct drive Verdun the Germans had attempted
turning movement but they found the French prepared
for this phase of the BATTLE and again the losses sustained
by the Teutons terrific. While gains were
made by the Germans the French claim to have recovered
most of the lost ground and the price paid for the ad
vance about the heaviest yet exaced in the battle of
Verdun.
A whole corps of fresh troops hastily summoned by
the prince to reinforce the which had already
fought at Verdun merely succeeded in increasing the
tremendous number of casualties inflicted by the terrific
French artillery fire.

How many lie dead on neutral ground between the
opposing trenches is impossible to estimate, but it
is certain that the victims lost their lives in utterly

The net result of this new outbreak of the German

French and German positions.

pioneers.
From the beginning of affairs in
the valley, Mr.. Carr has been active

times an advocate of the better things

Local Protection

The by wire that the battalion of the
Twentyfrst infantry at San Diego has been ordered to

whether the battalion of the regiment now in this
valley will also be ordered to There is no prob
ability that this will be done unless the state militia is
called out to protect the border here.
Adjutant General Thomas of the state forces fully
realizes the situation here and it is certain that in case
the regular army ordered to move from here
they will be supplanted by the state troops.
