BY. G. P. Stewart

London. Mar. 1S--A marked slack
ening In violence Of the lighting
around verdun convinced some mill
tary critics today that the Germans
we're about to abandon the offensive
there.
Paris dispatches conveyed the
same idea and limited THAI o final
German defeat at verdun would be
Immediately followed by the great
est French smash OF the war.
The Paris messages said German
attacks lacked their early spirit and
that less artillery preparation pre-
ceded them. The Teutons are not
standing up to French counter-at-
tacks as they did when the battle was
young. especially at Douaumont and
around vaux.
London critics. however. do not
share these beliefs. They said the
Germans had gained positions OF
such character that withdrawal
would certainly be marked by ter
rible losses. They think the Ger

more grand assault against verdun

San Antonio. Texas, Mar. 1S.--An

Colonel Dodd's column is at Casas

General Funston. According to the
best information here. Villa is 80
miles. south.

Brigadier-General Pershing's cav
airy is within supporting distance OF
Colonel Dodd's command. They may
possibly effect a junction tomorrow

From Hachita, where the United
States troops started. to Casas
Grandes is 100 miles. Funston said
the average marching distance or 80
miles a day was one Of the finest re-
cords Of the American army. Small
er picked forces might have done bet
ter. but for large body of men to
make that speed over rough desert
is remarkable.
Pershing wirelessed Funston par

tion Of troops comprising his main
column.
No reports have been received Of
any American casualties or Of clash
