GERMAN LOSSES AT FORT vAuX
Casualties surpass All Previous he,
cords of War

paris March 1.-THE German los
ses in the fighting around Fort VauS
last Friday and SATURDAY. surpasS
al nrevious records in this war, ac-
.ording to officers who have returned
from Verdun.
Time and time again and with eS-
sraordinary courage the Germans ~
columns four deep rushed from theif
trenches, only to melt away under inc
fire of the French rs, $50 and 2lo
millimeter guns, which rained sheils
with deadly accuracy into the march
ing companies. When the smoke ana
dust cleared nothing was to be seen
but heaps of bodies.
The SPUR on which the fort is sit
lated is almost perpendicular IN GER
cain places. The German lines were
forced to halt, but many Bavarian
-eservists climbed up on one anothefs
shoulders and struggled up the slope
.linping to angles Of rock and grasp
'nc tufts Of grass. Again and again
.hese human pyramids collapsed into
;hapcless gray masses. In the places
yherc the incline was easier and the
,ttacks therefore more concentrates
tho bitches below ran red with blood.
At the lowest estimate the attackers
,ost two-thirds Of their electives.
The fighting also was desperate IN
The extreme when regiments of the
fifteenth and eighteenth German ar
nv corps attacked the village OF
Vaux ON Friday. Dawn was just
breaking and over the country hung a
heavy white mist, making everything
invisible beyond hundred yarIs.
This enabled the Germans to get
within rushing distance Of the French
front trenches, but although they out
numbered the defenders six to one,
Il took four distinct assaults before
the first column of Germans won the
shelter of a small group of houses
beyond the church of VauX.
They then organized an assault
upon the church, and the French be-
ing unable to bring up reinforce
ments on account Of the German cur
tain of fire. withdrew their advance
clements which were in danger of be-
ing surrounded. Five times the North
Prussian regiments rushed TO attack
the church, but every time they left
.hc shelter Of the ruined houses they
were beaten back by the fire from ma
chine guns and the shrapnel from the
French 80 millimetcr mountain guns.
In the meantime in their rear u
curtain OF fire was kept up hy the
French 75s and 210s, so that 1t was
impossible for munitions and rclnfor-
ccmcnts to he brought up for their
benefit and the fight died down on
Friday night from sheer exhaustion.
