METZ. March :. via Berlin and Lon
don. March 10.-Judging from close OBJ
servation of the field of recent battles
on the Nerdun front, the Associated
Press correspondent sees no reason to
question the declarations of officers
from German headquarters that the
German losses. particularly in storming
Fort Douaumont. We're by no means
high.
Graves of soldiers usually furnish
fairly accurate indication of the extent
present during a battle. before the
bodies of the dead are inferred. no bet
ter evidence of the number killed can
be obtained than from the rude crosses
the German soldier usually places as
conscientiously with the graves of his
enemy upon those of his own dead.
Losses Small on Woevre Plain.
In the advance across the Woevre
plain toward the foothills of the fort
ress the losses seem to have been al
most insignificant. Very few graves,
either French or German, were seen
mans swept in pursuit of the retreating
French.
Reports from British and French
sources have dilated on the enormous
| price the Germans paid for Fort Dou-
aumont. but they are not borne out by
, the correspondents observations. The
| number of graves noted was remark
| ably few in comparison, for example,
| with those seen on the scissors battle
| field a year earlier.
| German operations around Verdun
| still continue in moderate scale. AT
] this time they are confined largely to
attempts to improve flank positions nd
| to press closer to the fortress girdle at
| individual points north and southeast
| In attacks of this nature German in
| fantry successfully stormed the vii
| lagos of FORCES and Fresnes.
Fresnes Built of Stone.
Like other villages along the foot of
the hills. Fresnes is built solidly of
stone and constituted a veritabIe fort
ress outpost which had to be carried
| before the advance could be made to
| the foot of the slopes.
| FORCES. loss of which is admitted by
the French, lies on the f1ank and rea
| of the German lines east of the food
ed Meuse, and covered artillery posi-
lions from which German works could
be mbarded.
| The correspondent saw German troops
| which had been fighting continuously
since February 81. They were in good
condition and spirits. though from their
appearance no one would guess many
had come freshly from a period of re-
cuperation and had been newly uni
formed.
High Tribute to French.
Officers with whom the correspondent
spoke paid high tribute to the fighting
spirit of the French, although saying
this was due to some extent to the con-
tinuous pouring in of fresh troops. Not
only the troops but the commanders
are constantly changing. Thus far three
generals have undertaken the defense
of the fortress since the German opera =
lions began. Gen. Herr, the original
commander of the defending army, was
replaced by Gen. Humbert. who in turn
was replaced by Gen. Petain. SO far as
is known Gen. Petain has not been sup

CURTIS SEES VICTORY

Charles Curtis, United States
senator from Kansas, has been busy
ing himself with the senatorial cam
paigns In eastern states, being chair
man OF the senatorial campaign
committee.
THE Republicans will elect every
United States senator who is a can
didate for reelection" said Senator
Curtis. I'm addition, we must elect
seven more senators from states
now represented by Democrats in
order to have half the senate"
The senator then proceeded to
name eight states from which the
Republicans, in his opinion, will
elect nine senators and three other
states in which he claims the Re-
publicans have a fighting chance.
The sure Republican states named
by Senator Curtis are: New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, West Virginia,
Indiana 1.-TWO senators), Nebraska,
Montana and Nevada. The three
states in which the Republicans
have fighting chance to elect SEN
ators are Missouri, Arizona and
Maryland.
Senator Curtis claims Hughes will
carry all OF the eight states first
named, and, like the senatorial can
didates has fighting chance to
carry the three states last named
He is confident of Hughes election
by large majority.
Hughes is certain to carry New
York" said Senator Curtis, land
the Republicans will elect their SEN
atorial candidate to succeed Sena-
tor O'Gorman.

Curtis said the Republicans would

sr than the Republican candidates
or congress, except in few notable
instances, and so will carry more
districts than were
'arried by the Republicans two
ears ago. The Maine election shows
/ larger vote for Republican candi-
lates for congress than was cast

tightly significant. The Republicans
