Battle is Raging with Violence
and with Heavy Losses
on Both Sides.
ER0ClTY UNEQUALLED.
Crown Prince Determines to
Capture Verdun and Open
UP Way to Paris.
tnY ASSOCIATED PREssI

The German armies at the gates OF
Verdun are hammering them hard with
heavy artillery, but at latest accounts
had suspended infantry attacks. In
the last fighting reported, the initia-
tive was on the side of the French, who
desperately drove back at the Ger
mans in counter attack which gained
them ground.
The German thrusts in the new
phase of the titantic struggle are be-
ing delivered with heaviest force ut
PIT. Salient to the northeast of the
fortress in which lies the D0uaumont
plain. Here the French last week
were driven out of Fort Douaumont
and Just now from Douaumont village,
to the west.
Heavy Losses.
In and around the village the battle
has been raging with violence and with
heavy losses on both Sides, Unofficial
accounts assert that there has been
nothing on the western front to equal
the ferocity OF the attacks delivered
by the Germans, while the French In
fantry is declared to be disputing
every inch Of ground and in their lat
est efforts to have forced the Germans
to rest on the laurels so far won and
leave the continuation of the battle
to their artillery.
Paris adyices show that no doubt
remains in the minds OF the French
that there is anything in the nature of
feint in the German effort, the belief
existing that the crown prince has
determined to capture Verdun, and if
possible break through the French
line and open UP the way to Paris.
French Repulsed.
There has been some fighting fur
ther south on the line in the West, the
Germans reporting the repulse of a
French attack in Lorraine, In which
the French had some initial success
but were forced to relinquish the
ground taken. Elsewhere there has
been comparative quiet, while from
none Of the other European war fronts
are events OF moment reported.
The Russian occupation of Bitlis in

That goal is long distance away yet
from the Russians headed southwark

 VICTIM LIES
 BY ROADWAY
Tiny Male Child Found Strangled to Death and Wrapped in Newspapers Near Huntington Road Schoolhouse by Janitor.
Police Believe Perpetrators of Crime Flung Bundle From Vehicle-No Doubt of Murder, Declares Act ing Medical Examiner.

Strangled to death and thrown beside the roadway on Kossuth street near Beecher street, a baby girl, hardly a day old, was found about 7:30 o'clock this morning by August Lieberum of 32 Autumn street jani- tor of the Huntington Road school Police are at work on the case.
 The body of the child, perfectly formed and evidently only recently born, was wrapped in several thick ness of paper. The child had been dead only a few hours when found. A stout string had been tied about its neck and cut deeply into the flesh. Acting Medical Examiner Edward Fitzgerald examined the body and stated that there was no doubt but that the child was murdered.
 MT. Lieberum was walking over Kossuth street on his way to work at the school when about 20 feet from the corner of Beecber street he mo- ticed a bundle of newspapers lying beside the road about two feet from the roadway. His curiosity, aroused by the size of the bundle, led him to | investigate.
  wards said that it felt as though it contained chicken when he pressed the flesh of the infant. Tearing the paper he was surprised to see the head of a child.
 l. He hurried across the street to the home of Benjamin Aimley on Beecher street and informed him of his ghastly find. Together they returned to tho a6 to see that the body was not disturb ed, Lieberum hurried to the home of George F. McKeel at 527 Huntington Road to telephone the police. He got in communication with Lieutenant William OIeary of the Second pre- cinct station who detailed Policeman Harold Sherwood to investigate, and notified the acting medical examiner
 The body was wrapped in paper such as that which is used in butcher markets, and outside of that were several thickness of a Bridgeport newspaper, dated August 31, and also Ia Worcester newspaper of the issue of September 4. A label from a cartridge box of the U. M. c. Co. also was found among the papers.
 Dr. Fitzgerald after viewing the body had it removed to the morgue of Cullinan & Mullins where the au- topsy was performed. It disclosed that the child was of recent birth and had evidently been killed early this morning.
 Whoever threw the body by the road, which is travelled very seldom, evidently did so hurriedly as on both sides of the street a few feet east, there are great clumps of bushes and the body could have been hidden in them with less chance of being dis covered. Police are inclined to be- lieve that the body was thrown to the roadside by someone in passing ve- hicle during the early hours Of this morning and that the intention was to cast it among the bushes or into the empty lot, in front of which it was found.
