April 19, Bingham, Asheville at Battle or Verdun Continues With Unabated Fury, Defenders Apparently Holding Their Own . Germans Slow Up North of Fort ress Important Contest. (By Associated Press.) The great battle of Verdun, now entering its second week, is continu ing iw'ith unabated fiiry, with the German armies driving hard at the French defenses along a lengthening line, which now runs far beyond the salient in which lies the fortress. Paris . asserts that with the pour ing in of heavy reinforcements for the French armies, the positions are being held all along the line. Along the Meuse to the north of Verdun the Germans have been un able to mal'.e as rapid progress as at first, although the battle has con tinued with intensity. On the Wo evre, front where the French at first fell back, they now appear to be of fering resistance. Pressure here is particularly menacing to the fortress, as the crushing in the eastern end of the salient would spell disaster for the French stronghold. Operations at places are taking the form or nature of counter offenses, as in the attack on Fort Douaumont, four miles north of Verdun. This development has been forecast in dis patches, which shows that the expec tations of Paris was that the French, when they had fallen back, could drive back over the ground they had yielded to the Germans. The German accounts fail to agree with the French version of the fight ing, Berlin having announced furth er advances for the crown prince's forces, including the taking of Fort Bardaumont, east of Fort Douaumont. Douaumont. The French themselves do not claim the recapture of this outly ing defense of the main fortress, but claim the Germans who had gained a foothold east and west of the po sition, were bing hard pressed, maintaining themselves with diffi culty. They say the fort is closely "encircled." A German attack against the Frenchp osition at Manhulles result ed in complete failure, the French war office announcement says, r Certain advance trenches near the Navarin farm in the Champagne were taken by the Germans by a sur prise attack, the French admit. O London dispatch indicates a be lief there that the Maloja and other steamers sunk in or near British waters were the victims of German mines sown recently.

His conclusions are given for the benefit of the hundreds in this section, who are interested : The Germans have made gains un nuestionablv: substantial gams, too. But it is likewise certain that there s. un to the moment of writing, wide disproportion between the cost and the result. The attack must go on. Having moved so far and lost so many men, Germany cannot stop. For a month or more Germany nas been making a serious attack rang ing from Nieuport to bwitzeriana. Some of these attacks have been made with large forces and have been extremely expensive. Ihe irencn have in the past done the same thing. Such operations merely iritter away strength but accomplish no results. The time must come when the fallacy of such strategy must dawn on the Germans as it did on the h rench. Ap parently that time has come and Ger many is making her bid for a decis ion at the only place where a decis ion can be reached not in Serbia, in Egypt, or in Mesopotamia but in France. Germany must keep on. lo quit before she attains her goal in tnt battle now raging is to admit what France and England claim, ana what retained by the Germans with Ver dun in mind. No less important rea son could justify retaining such a dan gerous position. The battle line around Verdun is roughly semicircular in shape, one end of the arc being at St. Mihiel, the other just east of the Argonne, about Melancourt. The distance be tween the two points is but thirty miles. The original German idea was to drive southward down the west bank of the Meuse, cut the main rail road supplying Verdun and link up with the German forces at St. Mihiel. By thus bringing together the strap and the buskle Verdun would be com pletely invested. This was the rea son advanced for the futile attacks of the crown prince in the Argonne some time ago, and is logically cor rect. Certainly it would seem a much less expensive operation than to pound a way through by frontal attacks. A straight line is not al ways the shortest distance be tween two points. The country is very open and generally less favor able for the defense. Although there is a chain of seven forts just west of Verdun and running parallel to the river, they are not nearly so strong as those on the opposite bank and are not so favorably situated with respect to each other or to the direct tion of attack. In fact, every detail of terrain and of defense would in this country, both the laity and the ( dicate that if Verdun were to be an military element, believe that Ger objective, the attack would come be many was beaten at the Marne and j tween the Argonne and the Meuse. that, since then, her only hope lay i This very fact, however, is a very m a drawn battle, as an nope oi vic good reason why the attack was ae tnrv bad denarted To return more specifically to the problem of Verdun, it has been stated livered elsewhere.
