MILLIONS OF SHELLS FIRED
BY GERMAN GUNS AT VERDUN

NERDCN. March ). pm. via Paris,
March 9.-Nine-inch shells are falling
around the Gath bridges and railway
stations of Verdun today. They come
from long-range guns-seven miles
away-and drop methodically
The gendarmes on duty near one gate
told the Associated Press correspond
ent they had kept tally of those that
fell last night and that there were III
of them. The correspondent. sheltered
by a massive earth and stone work at
one of the gates. counted projectiles
exploding about three minutes apart
in that neighborhood.
The German gunners are trying to
break communication through Verdun.
Strangely enough. not bridge nor an
entrance to the abandoned fortff1ca-
tions has been struck directly. Splin-
ters from shells have Clipped some of
the structures, but none of them has
been destroyed.
The city is vacant. 1t is more like
the ghost of city than modern,
we'll built town. There are no civilians
and no soldiers here Flremen have
remained. however, and are busy stop
ping the work of the incendiary bombs.
A detachment of gendarmes is on duty
as precaution against any stray
plundering.
Twenty-Five thousand persons locked
their DOORS and with a small allowance
of personal baggage eft the town by
order. Transportation was provided
for them without deranging the enor-
nous military requirements of the mo-
ment. One can walk through miles of
streets with shattered windows with
out seeing a person either III uniform
or out of uniform.
The city is little damaged. The AS
Sociated Press correspondent did not
see building that had been hit in the
Rue Masel. the principal business
street of Nerdun. only one place was
open. 1t was the Cafe de la PaiX, and
its doors We're wide for the convenience
of the firemen and gendarmes In
front of it stood the aproned proprietor,
the single civilian remaining in the
city.
But off the Rue MaZelin's various quar-
ters. houses had been struck by shells
one shell had hit the annex to the
hotel, the sturdy Cock. well known %
tourists. 1t was one of the first of the
thirteen-inch shells that reached the
city. The four-storied corner building
had collapsed into secondhand build
ing material.

All day and evening the German artil-

from which all efforts failed to dis
lodge him. French officers predict Gen.
Petain's strategy will have the same
result. so that the Germans will be
compelled to seek decision elsewhere
on the front
French artillery officers who took
part in the battle of Ncrdun estimate
that during the first four days of the
struggle the Germans discharged p
100000 shells, most of them of heavy
caliber. The number of projectiles fired
by the French probably was as great.
Nothing like such an expenditure of
munitions has been known before. even
IN the Champagne attack. The whole
theory of operations was to pulveriZe
defenses at long range. drive out or
kill defenders, and then occupy the
ground by massed rushes of infantry.
The principle of the defense was to
search out heavy pieces of the adver-
sary with equally heavy shells, with
draw from demolished frst-line works
and then. when those deserted trench
webs were approached by attacking
foces on the run. to catch them with
multiplied enfilading~ artillery and ma
chine gun fire. At times this fire was
suddenly suspended and the attackers
were engaged in hand-to-h hand infantry
ella shes.

Big Guns Used Chiefly.

The authorized representative of the
British press with the French armies,
writing from Nerdun Saturday last,
says:
'As we came into the town-the first
civilians to reach Nerdun since its
evacuation, the Associated Press repre-
sentative. the representative of the
Russian press and my self-the air was
trembling with the battle raging
around Douaumont. Even five miles
away the noise of the German artillery
was deafening. The storm of pro-
jectiles rained upon the French lines
here exceeds anything ever before
know in warfare.
Practically no small caliber guns
were used by the Germans, and the
main artillery preparation was made
with s-inch and 12-inch guns. They
used their heavy guns exactly AS the
French use their 75's. which fire twen-
~ shots minute. In one place, on a
front of 1000 yards with IL depth of
500 yards. $4,000 big shells fell in six
hours. The trenches were literally
swept out of existence. Throughout
the assault here the Germans followed
the plan of concentrating their guns
first on the French left and then grad
ually moving the direction Of their
fire toward the French right"

Hard When Guns Stop.

Toward 9 o'clock in the morning the
guns stopped. For nine hours my men
had not moved nor spoken, for fear of
revealing their presence.
Their nerves were worn to rags. L
could feel their powers of resistance
falling, and l was afraid every instant
that some one would shout and bring
down shower of heavy shells upon
US.
Mysterious life filled the night, life
which none of us understood, full of
strange lights and sounds. My men be-
gan to grit their teeth. This envelop-
ing mystery tortured their nerves
Some closed their eyes, others gnawed
their fists. Before us we saw crawling
forms; they were certainly Germans.
We waited for them with machine guns
loaded and pointed. but our orders were
to let the assailants approach and to
shoot them down safely from our shell

like madmen. They should have perish

their side, and in 4 minute they were
all back in the trench quite calmed.
They had at length pierced. at the
peril of their lives, the mystery of
the night-that mystery peopled with
phantoms and will-o'-t they wisps which
cause the bravest to shudder.

Burning Liquids Employed.

The Germans in their assaults are
using several sorts of burning liquid
projectors. One OF these is in the
form of Il small tank which is carried
on the back filled with composition
liquid which seems to be mostly kero-
sene. Attached to the nozzle is an
igniting apparatus.
The liquid is projected by means of
hand pump. The radius of action of
the oil depends on the skill and the
physical effort OF the man who pro-
jects il. but il is ordinarily from sixty
to ninety feet.
Some French soldiers have been burn
ed to crisp by the flaming liquid
Other chemical weapons used by the
Germans in this battle include asphyN-
iating shells. vapors which irritate the
eye and incendiary shells.
The Duke of Rohan. member of the
chamber Of deputies and a captain OF
cavalry. who was twice wounded in the
head during the fighting at Fort Dou-
aumont. in an interview appearing to-
day. says that the scene of the battle
Of Eerdun is growing larger each day.

Situation Is Difficult.
I'm the course of the day of Febru-
ary % we received an incalculable
number of 3U5- -millmeter shells from
the Germans on the farm of Mormont
and its neighborhood. Our situation
was very difficult. and it was almost
impossible to get munitions. We were
lucky if one case out of three arrived.

prevent ii from overheating. washed it
from their water bottles. When hard
pressed finally by the enemy they re-
moved the breech keys and fell back.
In despair. however. at not having
been able to drag their gun with them.
they returned during the night to try
to pull il off with their hands. The
chief gunner was wounded in this en-
terprise, which failed. The artillery
men decided not to allow their gun to
fall into the hands of the enemy, and
returned once more to bio wit up. They
found that il had already been destroy

meantime struck it Similar incidents
