heretofore nob been fraught with
happy consequences.
The history of the Verdun enter-
prise is now regarded as clearly de-
fined by the Paris newspapers. It
was preceded by two councils of
war.
When it was first decided by the
Kaiser and some of his closest ad-
visers that an attack on Verdun, un-
dertaken by methods which hadprov-
ed successful in Russia and in Serbia,
would be successful, the co-operation
of Field Marshals Von Hindenburg
and Von Mackensen was sought.

For this purpose they were sum-
moned to Berlin, where they were
met by the Kaiser, the Crown Princes
of Germany, Bavaria and Wuerttem-
berg, and Generals Von Haeseler.
and Von Deirriling. When the mat-
ter was laid before them, both the
great German leaders, who had prov-
ed their worth in the eastern field
of the war, opposed a grand assault
on the French stronghold, and ex-
plained the radical difference be-
tween conditions on that front and
those which had made success pos-
sible in other regions:
As both field marshals had already
objected to taking part in the opera-
tions in France and Flanders unless
they had an entirely free hand and
complete liberty from interference
on the part of the Crown Prince, it
is believed their advice did not make
a duo impression on the Kaiser and
his eldest son. They returned to
Verdun to study the situation once
more.
There a new council was held, at
