DOUAMONT SECTOR KEY TO ESSENTIAL POSITION French Ministry of War Express es Confidence in Outcome of . , Titanic Straggle. (By Associated Press.) After the fighting on Douamont pla teau in renewal of the German drive or Verdun therv has come a second halt in the intense struggle. Paris today announced that there had been a cessation of infantry attacks by the Crown Prince's troops, although this art'llery was still keeping upa heavy bombardment. Continuation of ths artillery activi ty may indicate speedy renewal of action on the important front north east of the fortress where the French lines, form a salient The Douamont sector is pointed out by the French military critics as a key to positions essential to the Ger man .purpose of taking the fortress. Hence the, desperate nature of the struggle wh';h has been going on for its possession. The importance of German acthvi ty in other sectors is not overlooked. ' There have been advances on both the French flank and indications are furnishing of contemplated thrusts at vital points In the lines about the curving front. , - , (Confidence in the outcome o!f the Verdun struggle has been expressed by French minister of war, .according1 to a Pans dispatch. ..-. The French are declared in these advices to retake the advantage in the Douamont sector iwsufte the fact that they were driven out of the vill age as the German position in the town 7s dominated by the French ar tillery. . The probability is indicted that the village will frequently change hands during the course of the fighting as the two forces jappear so .evenly matched.

It is unofficially declared In Paris that the German cl arm to sinking of two auxiliary cruisers Is unfounded. The German statement, a received jby wireless, did not specify when ;r where the cruisers were claimed to have beeh sunk. Although the French denial was issued under Thursday's date, being delayed in transmission; it probably refer to the claim by the Grmn"ttdmiralty which i believed to have reached Paris is being trans mitted to this country.
