Capture of Positions.

PARIS. Feb. $3.50 far as the
French official report of Monday
shows, the German attack is develop
ing 10 the east and southeast.
AT Fort Douaumont. where the
fighting has been the heaviest, the
situation is unchanged. The fortress
itself is apparently still held by the
Germans. In the village of Douau-
mont. a few hundred yards from the
fort, there was a furious struggle
last night.
The war office announces that Ger

resulted in failure.
Southeast of Verdun the Germans
are pressing the attack. The French
statement reports futile German at
tack against Manheulles, ten miles
south Of verdun, which may indicate
an advance in that quarter although
the precise location of the front IN
these sections has not been made
