With heavy loss.
The battle of Verdun, the longest
end most bitterly fought individual
struggle of the wax, entered on its
fourth month today. The Germans are
hammering at Dead Man hill, where
the most ferocious and bloody fighting
of the three months' conflict has taken,
place.
Clinging desperately to the trenches
that they have wrested from the French
on the lower ' slopes of the hill, the
Teutons have hurled 60,000 men. backed
by 60 batteries of guns of all calibers,
forward along a seven-mile front from
Avocourt wood to the Meuse in a des
perate effort to seize the coveted sum
mit. Germans Gain Footing, i
The Germans have succeeded in gain
ing a footing In the French first line
at a cost of severe losses, but, judging
from the experience of the past, it will
not be a difficult task for the French
to dislodge them before they are able
to follow up theiradvantage.
That the Germans must continue their
tremendous onslaught on Dead -Man
hill or abandon the idea of taking Ver
dun seems obvious. This blood-soaked
eummit and its sister eminence, hill 304,
form the key to the whole system of
Verdun defenses.
The fire from their batteries flanks
the Douaumont plateau across the
river. Without the undisputed pos
session of this plateau military critics
agree that no attack on Verdun has any
chance of success. - - : x r '

Monday's War Moves
HARD fighting is still In progress
between the Austrians and Ital
ians in the Tyrol, the French and the
Germans in the region of Verdun and
the Germans and British around La
iJassee.
The great offensive of the Austrians
sgainEt the Italians in Southern Tyrol
continues unabated, and at 'several
points the Austrians seem gradually to
be throwing back the Italians toward
their own territory. To the southeast
of Trent, on the Lavarone plateau,
Vienna says the Italians have been dis
lodged from all their positions, and
says Austrians have captured Fima,
Mandriolo and the height immediately
west of the frontier from the summit
as far as the Astach (Astico) Valley.
The Austrians, for their offensive,
according to Kome advices, have been
heavily reinforced in men and guns.
s Since the beginning of the offensive,
lenna asserts, more man z?,uuu men
have been taken prisoner and 172 can
non have been captured .by the Austrians.
The British operating against the
Turks in Mesopotamia gradually are
drawing nearer Kut-el-Amara, where a
large number of their officers and men,
who recently surrendered, are still
being held captive. .The British, who
have been reinforced by Russian cav
alry, now have reached the region im
mediately south of Kut-el-Amara.
In the region of Verdun both the
French and Germans claim successes
for their arms at various points. An
interesting point in the latest French
official communication is the item that
the French have penetrated Fort Dou
aumont. northeast of Verdun, whioh
the Germans stormed and captured
February 25. four days after the com
mencement of the assault on Verdun,
and from which all attempts to drive
1hem out proved futile. The Germans,

also has netted the French several Ger
man positions on a front of about a mile
and a quarter east of the village of
Douaumont. . To the northwest of Ver
dun the French have forced out th
Germans from positions south of hill
287 and west of Le Mort Homme.
Berlin,on the other hand, says the
Germans to the northwest of Verdun
stormed the eastern spurs of hill 304
and held them against repeated coun
ter attacks. In this fighting the
French are declared to have lost heavily
in men Killed or wounded.
