sompletely
Around, this position the most dos-
serato fighting of the battle has been
going on settee Friday. Here Froacb
counter-attacks were delivered win
such crushing force that SOMG of the
German detachments were drivels
back, and one regiment is almost en-
circled.
The very unfavorable weather con-
ditions Ito ith a heavy fall of snow may
be one reason for the lessening of
the force of the German attack; the
despatches from the front indicate
that heavy 'uses also may have had
an effect. The slops east and west of
the village of Douaumont, wince has
been the centre of the heaviest fight-
ing, are ccevered with German dead.
Five separate attack, have been
made by the French on Fort Douau-
mont 11:1 an effort to retake the posi-
tion, the German War Office says.
Each attack was made by fresh
troops, but all Eve were repulsed
with heavy French losses. The num-
ber of unwounded French prisoners
taken in the seven days of battle,
the Berlin statement says, has reach-
ed 15,000. Finding the position un-
tenable because of the fre of both
artilleries, the French have evacuat-
ed the Cote du Taiou, to the west of
Dougumont, and the position is now
unmet/pied, the French say, by either
sine -
In the official statement received
Yesterday from Berlin, the German
War Office aunonnces that the Ger-
mans pressing forward to the west of
Douarneont have reached. Nave, on
the southern border of the wooded
distracts north-east of Bras, taking
Champueuville and the Cote de Talou
an the way. The taking of Champ-
eveuville already had been announced
by the Germans, but the announce-
ment Iater was contradicted by them
as based on an erroneous report. To
the east of Douaumont the Germans
announce the storming of. eatended
fertified won:es at Haraumont.
Parrs is extraordinarily calm in the
presence of the great battle now in
progress around Verdun. There are
no indications of tension or nervous-
ness, but only sober confidence in the
result prevails.
The desire among those who know
the defensive strength of the lines
seems to be that the attacks should
continue, for, they argue, the losses
on the Gernaau side wauld be in pro-
portion to the efforts.
The whole front from the Nortb
Sea to Switzerland is on the alert,
and all leave of absence has been re-
called. The French maximum effort
has not yet been made. The total
French losses in killed, wounded,
and prisoners since the Verdun bat-
tle began, it was authoritatively stat-
ed last evening, have been less than
the German official communication
claims in prisoners (15,000).
Ever since 5 o'clock Friday morn-
ing the flower of the German army
bas been hurling itself in vain
against Cote du Poivre on the high
pleteau bebind Loueemont village.
They seemed even to welcome the
blizzard as giving possible protection
from the 75's, but the French gun-
ners know every inch ,of the ground
and could fire, to a hairsbreadth in
the blackest darkness. These snow -
clad slopes are now colored red.. •
It is estimated that the German
losses in the Verdun fighting are now -
well over Am° O. -
A German correspondent says that
the front of Fort Douaumont was en-
tirely destroyed by the concentrated
fire of 17 -inch and 12 -inch guns,
which blew the steel and concrete
cupolas to fragments. One fort near-
by was blown. up by a high explosive
shell which penetrated the magazine.
Before the attack hundreds of
German engineers had been making
roads for the ccnveyance of the 17 -
inch guns. Freneh prisoners, dazed,
said, according to the German corre-
spondent, that the terrific fire quickly
made Douaument untenable.
As the great battle at Verdun
reaches its climax sympathetic ac-
tivity is spreading over the entire
front. The guns in Flanders are
beard on the Dutch frontier. The
British made local attacks le the re-
gion of Armentieres, but the fighting
Is mainly confined to heavy artillery.
Enemy flying machines are out in
great numbers. A very large battle
plane, mounting two guns, was Seen
leaving Zeebrugge.
