Correspondent Sees
Germans Just Start
With Verdun Fight

LONDON, March 2.--The Times
military correspondent, analyzing
the situation around Verdun, de-
clares his belief that the long ex-
pected big German offensive has be-
gun, although he doubts whether
Verdun is to be the real point of the
attack.
He further declares that no front
is impenetrable in the face Of a
modern artillery attack, but he be-
lieves that the allies cue is keep
cool, to be avaricious in depicting
the main reserves and to keep in
creasing those reserves for action
when the Germans have exhausted
themselves" The writer's belief that
the Germans are preparing to launch
their main attack at some point other
than Verdun is supported as follows:
What the Germans hope for is to
attack the bulk of the allies reserve,
east of the Meuse, making an i'm
mense clatter there. and the next
German blow from the northwest
probably awaits the fulfillment OF
this desire. The French appear to
have met the Verdun attack with re-
serves just sufficient to maintain the
conflict. There is no sign that Gen
eral Joffre has yet drawn upon or
even moved his main forces"

barge on shipments from its territory in
Nebraska and Kansas much larger guam
titles OF the cereal may he expected soon.
Some time ago when the soft corn COM
menced to move to market in large guam
titles the Burlington placed an embargo
on wheat shipments from many OF its
stations. turning all surplus cars over to
shippers in order that they might get the
soft corn out OF the way. As a result a
larger portion OF this corn has moved
cut. and from now on wheat from coun-
try elevators will be received for ship
nent to market.
Wheat receipts for the day were thirty
soven carloads and prices were one-halt
