Activity on verdun Front.

Gen. Petain's report indicates the pos
sibility of a speedy renewal OF the in
fantry battle at Verdun- The artillery
on both sides of the Meuse is actively
bombarding the German lines The
Germans have shown some activity in
Alsace. making an attack near Harts

pulsed completely.
Although the British armies on the
Franco-Belgian front were engaged in
much notably heavy fighting during
August. including the great attack OF
the Anglo-French forces in Flanders.
the casualties were notably less than
during July.

.In Flanders the process OF wearing
down the Germans by continuous bonn
bardment, continuous air fighting and
Continuous infantry raids is being kept
IN. and is having a far greater effect
than the man in the street realixes.
This effect is shown in the constant
necessity imposed on the Germans OF
Withdrawing and replacing units. The
hest way to illustrate this is to refer 10
the battles of former times in which, as
the text books tell US. the first part of
the DAYS battle was an attempt by each
side 10 draw in and exhaust the enemy's
reserves. thus preparing for the second
phase of the day, namely. the decisive
attack.

the Flanders battle. We are exhaust
ing with good success the German re-
serves. and later will come the second
phase. to which we are all looking
FORWARD confidently.

another .regrettable incident namely,

World Battle Soon to Enter
Second and Decisive Phase,
Says British Military Expert
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 31.-"The last week
has been marked ~ a pause on all the
western fronts-a pause which was in
evitable after the great successes of the
previous week. a pause accentuated by
the bad weather that affected the oper-
atoms all the way from the North sea
to the Italian seacoast- said Maj. Gen.
F. B. Maurice. chief director Of military
operations, at the war ONCE in his
weekly talk to The Associated Press
yesterday.
"At the moment 1t is the Italian front
where the situation is the most inter-
esting Here also, after a really i'm
portant advance. there now comes a
pause pending the readjustment of the
artillery positions. There is much more
to be done during these pauses. The
problem is whether Cen Cadorna will
be able to get his guns posted for the
renewal of the operations before the
Austrians get UP adequate reserves.
some of which are being brought from
the Russo-Rumanian front. That Is the
problem In the pauses in all these bat
tles-the race between the prepara-
tions of offense and defense.
