International So serviee:

ed from a German source, that Fort
MOranville. one OF the works defend
ing Verdun on the east, has been
put practically out of commission
by the German bombardment. The
Germans used u and 15-inch guns
against the fort. concentrating a
heavy fire upon It for many hours.
Fort Moranville IS three miles

PARIS. March 8. - Using rein
forcements brought from the east
front and the Balkans. the Germans
are again pressing against the strong
French positions on the heights Of
the Meuse. east OF Verdun.
These works are regarded by the
French as impregnable and the at
lacking forces have already lost
heavily. despite the furious bonn
bardment which the German bat
teries carried out before the infan-
try assaults were launched.
The kaiser is reported to have in
formed the German general staff
that the fortress Of Verdun must be
taken at any cost and that he will
not cOuntenance any failure for any
reason whatsoever.
Heavy artillery fire continues all

youth, ugor and bravery. These
men cannot be replaced by Germany.
