The stubborn will of the French astonished, nonplussed and discouraged the crown princes men. In two months of breathless fighting Mangin had finally taken the offensive from the enemy. Desultory attacks were the only reply and the Germans accepted failure.

 The honor for the victory is shared equally by the sublime zauaves, chas- seurs, coloniels, engineers and artil- lerymen who once again stirred the world; and to the commanders, the brain that had conceived and directed. The troops were the body which acted and the staff the head which thought, but Mangin was the soul of that never to-be-forgotten battle.

for US. we were no less determined not only to stop the attack, but to shake loose the grip of the enemy and drive him from Verdun. The story of the struggle between two wills, equal ly fierce, cannot be told. Neither story nor painting can carry any conception of it to one who did not see it. The very earth itself still shows a picture of it and breathes out it's frightfulness. It was quiet spot, sheltered by hills on the summits of which were trees to block the winter winds. There were
 little valleys, ravines, and through it all rich orchards. Today not a tree. not even a stump and not a tuft of grass; everywhere the appearance of mountains, of Alpine glaciers, as if some colossal spasm Nature had up- turned the countryside; had torn it from the rest of the earth and piled it in jagged heaps.

The deal is said to be for consideration of S3OO,OO0 and is to run for a period of ninety days, when the property will be taken This is said to mean much for the prosperity of COurtland and it is almost certain that the property will be taken over since many hundred thousands tons of high grade copper ore are in sight, with many tons blocked out ready to be hauled to the surface It is known that Wm.
