The violence of yesterdays attacks
furnish unmistakable evidence that
Germany IL determined to continue
the attack on Verdun. regardless OF
her critical position on other fronts.
French military critics agreed on this
point today after studying the reports
from headquarters.
The present attack began Tuesday.
The Germans had spent eighteen days
in preparation. They brought up new
guns and trench mortars, shifted
more troops from the west bank Of
the Meuse and hurried fresh supplies
of ammunition to the Souvillo-Dam-
loup sector.
The French, ready 70 meet the
shock, turned loose sheeted 1lre into
the advancing German ranks and took
terrible toll with the '75's." Through
out Tuesday night and all day yester-
day the battle ragged ON the Souville-
Damloup sector, the French counter
attacking with great spirit. Z
Only at one point, near the inter
section Of the Fleury and Vaux roads,
did the German attack gain any
ground.
The Germans kept up . violent
bombardment throughout the night on
the sector of Souville and Chenois
and Laufee, but made no infantry at
tacks, the war Office announced today.
