WITH FRENCH ARMY, Aug Il.
The worlds greatest battle is being
fought today.
From the seacoast to the Swiss
frontier over 435 miles, the allied
forces are fighting practically con-
tinuuus offensive. The French as
sault at Verdun completed the chain
of battle, welded into one gigantic
action unprecedented in extent and
power The combined French and
German artillery form probably the
greatest concentration OF weapons
for single attack the whole war has
seen.
Hundreds of Germans Dcsert.
German prisoners reported that
hundreds deserted the German army
daily because of the pressure of al
lied artillery. Picked German troops
were flung violently and va nlN
against the four points of the French
front last night ALI French ground
was held
A perfect. coordiuated strategy un-
derlies the English and French at
tacks, all times to convert all the
fighting into one great attack The
battles around Lens, Arras, st. Quen'
tin and along the Aisne continued
with una Dated intensity.
