Hitherto
Ignored

In fact, German strategy in France,
both before and after Won Falkenhayn's
offensive, completely ignored the threat
of Verdun. After Won Falkenhayn's dis
mlssal Won Hindenburg TRANQUILITY went
ahead completing the vast fortified zone
which bears his name. From that zone
Ludendorff launched the great offensive
of 1918, regardless of the existence of
the Verdun sally port. He probably could
have made a successful drive south from
the Argonne or cast from the St. Mihiel
salient and surrounded Verdun if he had
thought it necessary to do so in order to
solidify the German defensive position in
France.
Won Falkcnhayn undoubtedly ex-
pected to repeat Won Mackensens ex-
ploits on the Dunajcc. He employed
the same means and the same tactics
But he met foe vastly better pre-
pared for defence than the Russians
we're in 1915, and far superior in lead
ership and morale.
All records were broken by the Ger
man artillery concentration against the
arc of the advanced French line north
of Verdun and east of the Meuse. Won

German possession until the armistice
was signed. So did the Briey coal and
iron fields. 1t was extremely improbable
that France ever would undertake an
offensive from the Meuse, SO long as the
German armies remained on the Aisne,
the Disc and the Somme. In Picardy the
Germans we're only sixty miles from
Paris. In 1915, 1916 and 1917 the French

<f"NHE EPIC OF NERDUN."
80 This French phrase will stick
because of it's felicity. The
defence of the ancient fort
rcss on the Meuse was Homeric in quail
ity. There France met the rudest test
of the war with epical devotion and
fortitude.
Germany, near the peak Of her mill
tary development, flushed by the ex-
traordinary success of her Eastern cam
paigns, challenged France in February,
1915, to an ordeal of endurance. 1T was
to be a competition in sheer staying
power, both physical and moral. Won
Hindenburg had said that the Russians
were not equal to a contest in which
victory would go to the belligerent with
the stronger nerves." His theory had
justified itself in the East The Ger
mans now sought to experiment with 1t
in the West.
The campaign for Verdun involved no
subtleties of strategy. Won Falkenhayn
set out to eject the French by brute
force from one of the strongest positions
they held between the Swiss border and
Arras. And the strength of their posi-
tons didn't save the French. What
stopped Germany was not the rampant
of hills, forts and trenches about Verdun,
but an ever renewed rampant of living
men.
France, still somewhat inferior to Ger
many in weight of artillery, but fully
equal in the discipline and valor of her
infantry, didn't shrink from the ordeal
At times it seemed as if the lines around
Verdun would break under the stupen-
dous German pounding. They saggcd,
but they were never broken. After
hand to hand struggle, which lasted
many months, FRENCH dcggcauysg tri-
umphed

The POiIu
At His Best

The superb military quality Of the
French soldier never stood out more con-
spcuously than it did at Verdun For
Nerdun was a battle of units, of squads,
Of individuals--for inches of ground,
scraps of wood-footholds on hill slopes,
before had enormous armies grappled so
ferociously for weeks and weeks in so
restricted an area.
That fact enhanced Nerduns signif-
passing moral value. French nerves
proved equal to the fierccst strain that
could be put upon them by the new Ger
man tactics of assault, based on un-
precedented artillery concentration, the
use of special shock formations and the
lavish employment of gas waves, fame
throwers and shells charged with asphyx-
lating and tear-producing gases.
No other German attack on the West
front was as sustained and vicious as
that at Verdun. When it failed France
breathed more freely. The indefnable
prestige of German arms was shaken
Sedan and Gravelotte we're forgotten.
The French knew that, so far as their
armies were concerned, the German on
slaught could be stayed. Frances future
was reasonably secured, barring collapse
of civilian morale, due to defeatist in
trlgues or war WEAKNESS.
On the German side Nerdun was the
completcst military failure of the war.
1t had no value except as an experiment
In attrition And attrition pure and
simple, was a policy which Germany
could not afford to pursue. The German
strategic reserve which was used up on
the Meuse would haze sufficed many
times over to deal the final blow to Rus
STA. Won Hindenburg saw this clearly,
and from the beginning he opposed the
Nerdun campaign. His appointment, late
IN the summer, to succeed Won Falken-
hayn as Chief of Staff was a tardy ad
mission by the controlling military
Clique that German strength had been
Slapped to no purpose.

Armenians are without meat, bread

they have is herbs, which are dug
up from fields and used to make
soup. The famine does not extend
to the towns, where there is some
food, but it costs seven and eight
dollars for a plain meal. Some flour
