Crisis Of Battle at Hand.

On the struggle for these interven-
ing miles. in the opinion OF military
observers here, the fate OF the fortress
now hangs. The defence OF Douau-
mont and Vaux and lie Mort Homme
will have been in vain unless the ad
vance Of the Germans, slow but appar-
emily irresistible. can here be checked.
For if the railway Is taken, the French
must either evacuate Nerdun or be
caught within il as Marshal Bazaine
was caught at Metz.
Describing the night battle which re-
suited in the capture of Malancourt,
the Paris statement says:
"To the west of the River Meuse the
bombardment of Malancourt has gone
on with redoubled violence. Last night
the Germans delivered a series of at
tacks in massed formation. They ad
vanced from three sides at time upon
the village which formed the advanced
salient of our line and which sheltered
one of our battalions. After furious
fighting all night long which entailei
considerable sacrifices on the part OF
the enemy our troops evacuated the
ruined village, but we still hold its out
skirts"
Berlin's statement of its capture was

London, March 31.-After two weeks
Of apparent deadlock the battle OF Yer
dun again has swung in favor Of the
Germans. There is no minimizing.
either in Faris or here, the seriousness
Of the news of the last twenty-four
hours.
Malancourt, for the possession Of
which the French have fought desper-
ately for weeks, is in German hands.
1t was captured last night as the re-
suit of a massed attack that was ire
sstible. SO far, Paris announces to-
hight, the Germans have made no at
tempt to debouch from the village.
But ii is foregone conclusion that
the movement cannot long be delayed.
In addition, the French have lost ad-
in lie Mort Homme region, as the re-
suit of German assaults to-day. The
Paris statement tonight. however, says
that these have been regsined.
Moose Tightening About Fortress.
With the capture OF Malancourt it is
admitted that the whole French line
west of the Meuse is placed in a seri-
Gus position. Already the German
moose, extending from Fresnes to Avo-
court, is three-quarters of the way
rorrd Vcrdun Il only needs the con-
tiruation Of the advance at the latter
point to close II completely.
Aside from the fortified hills them
selves, Malancourt and Bethincourt
have been the keys TO the French de-
fence west Of the Meuse. They have
dominated the roads necessary to Ger
man communications. To hold them
the French had turned every house into
fortress and had sacrificed men a. at
no other point about Nerdun. When
the Germans had surrounded them
from three sides, still the French
clung TO the villages and died TO a
man rather than yield them.
Malancourt is the intersection of i'm
portant highways 70 Avocourt and
Esnes. In German hands these will be-
come the arteries TO feed the guns bat
tering the way for the infantry ad-
vance. They will enable the Germans
to concentrate the whole force OF their
numbers and artillery in pushing
across the intervening six miles 70 the
st. Menehould Railway, the main sup
ply line of Nerdun.
