The Germans Still contintc to hammer awayat the defences of Verdun, but their progress is slow, Indeed. obtained it would( seem from the tactics adopted by, General Joffra that some of the. so-called successes obta i ed by the Germans aro prepared for them by the French in order to lead them in well -set traps. On Friday night of last week the Germans began a violent attack on the Village of, Vaux. These was a severe fight in which the enemy lost heavily, and when the French gave up the position there was only a ruined village: On Monday the French opened an attack on Vaux and recaptured it and on Tuesday the Germans started a lreavY. Y artiller bombardment of the position. This was kept up for several hour's, after which the German infantry came up to the assault. The French had their Machine guns in position and their infantry well en- trenched and kept up a constant fire on the advancing Germans. With great persistence these stuck to their task and were mowed down by the heavy fire. Finally they withdrew from the attack, But it would seem, that the Germans prefer now to make separate attacks on certain positions at erre time in place of a general attack on all the defences of the city. At the time they were being driven back front their second advance against Vaux on the east•side of the Meuse they made an attack on the Froth position at 1laucourt-between Nlalantourt and Bethiecourt. In this they were repulsed. Many other small attacks have been carried on through the week. General Sir Percy Lake sent an important despatch to London on Wednesday stetting that early that morn- ing he had attacked and captured it strongly fortified position of the Turks at Umm-el-Ronna below Kut -el - Amara. This news gives hope that the forces of General 'Townshend which have been shut up in Kut -el -Amara since last December will soon be relieved, as the captured position is the last really strong one between Sir Percy Lake's forces and the beleaguered troops. The Germans again made several air -raids over the British Isles during the week -end, and some consider- able damage was done to human life, but no military damage was obtained. One of the Zeppelins WAS brought clown in the Thames and her crew captured. Holland's action in rapidly mobilizing her army at the time she was having a dispute with Germany has caused the kaiser to withdraw some of his troops from other fields and station them along. the. , Dutch border. The frontier o£ holland and Belgium also is being made ready Sol any alt oft that part. rIb hl eem that t11e Germans are lemming a lesson front their heavy losses around Verdun, for they ttots ar have somewhat changed their style of infantry attack. In the fighting on Tuesday last they advanced against the French, not in serried ranks, bub in extended formation, making short bounds forward in comparatively shall bodies as occasion offered. • The French, •however, have of late been attaining a superiority of fire, and the Germans got to a position in the attack on Chauffeur Wood near Douamont, within fifty yards of the French. An assault was out of the question. Retirementtwas equally out of the question, and the advanced lines of Germans had to lie on the surface of the ground, or in whatever trenches they could dig while lying, but all the time under an effective fire of musketry and shrapnel, i, !tall e rn,nwus°..

Queer Shells That This War Has Produced. The tremendous shells which the huge cannon of' the Germans and al- lies send through the air are not only missiles sent forth by the great guns that have no parallels in history. The gas shell, the weeping shell, the de - /woolen shell, the sneezing shell and the musical shell are all new with this 'war and so freaky in their ac- tions that civilization would never have dreamed of them in former years. The gas shell explodes and scat- ters poisonous gases about among the soldiers, and a breath of it is enough to ]till a man, The weeping shells, or lachr'ym'atory shells, as the Germans call them, are fired with the object of blurring the eyesight of the oppon- ents. When the shell bursts it makes the tears of those about flow in great quantities and prevents them from seeing the sights of their rifles. It contains ammonia in high degree and causes intense pain to the suffered. The sneezing shell is much similar to it and gives off a bluish vapor on blunting, which causes the soldiers near by to go into paroxysms of sneezing, and of course prevents them 'from using their weapons. The air depression shell produces many deaths. Troops exposed to the violent change in the atmospheric pt'essure brought about by this ex- plosion suffer exactly as do aeronauts who descend too rapidly or workmen who suddenly come into the open air after long inclosure in compressed alt ambers, the effect being to re- lease the air and carbonic acid sus- pendedn the blood and transforming them into 'bubbles of gas. These bub- bles are drtven by the action of the heart into the capillary vessels, stop- ping the. circulation and causing in- stant death. The musical shell was tined by the Turks in the Dardanelles and consist- ed of an ordinery shell with a small iron ball attached to it by a chain, this appendage causing a curious sing- ing noise to be made as it few through the air. - 6 PEOPLE MURDERED.
