EOF ITSELF NOT NECESSARY Main Object, That of Prevent ing French Participation in Drive, Is Accomplished, . By Carl W. Ackerman. With the German Armv Ref nr. vr- un, July 27. (Via Berlin. Amsterdam and London) (IT p.) Garmanv's mastery here at Verdun robbed the French of their greatest chance to Co operate in the allied drive. If French positions had not been under attack by ine itfrman forces, trooDs under th tri-colors could have had hammered there simultaneously with the British tnrust. But Germany now dominates the city. German officers say the main thin now Is not whether Germany Is to take v eraun but that the Teutonic forces remain as masters of that battlefield. Long- War Expected Vow. Traveling all along the German front in this section, talking with of ficers and men. I find a different opin ion as to the war's end from that en tertained elsewhere. The belief of all was best expressed tonight by the grandson of General Von Steuben, the Prussian hero of the revolutionary war, who said: "The war will last long." tor 10 miles on each side of the Verdun trenches the face of the earth has literally been blown off. It is pockmarked with shell craters, in somj places vaat holes 30 to 60 feet deep. Fighting has gone on underground. Admit Bravery of French, Universal respect Is accorded French bravery by the Germans here. "French bravery in the underground trenches," said one staff officer, "was what prevented German troops from capturing the city." Today, from the aummits of Hills 171 and 310, the progress of artillery attacks on the hills bf Froid Terre, Thiaumont and L'Homme Mort could be plainly observed, as well as the de tails of small infantry attacks.

British troops have driven the German Bran denburgers out of Delville wood, ac cording to General Haig's report to the war office today. The British commander-in-chief said the Fifth Brandenburgers were the Teutonic troops thus ejected from the little forested area northwest of Lon gueval, which has been the scene of hand-to-hand fighting for ttie past week. '"One hundred and rlxty-three prison ers were captured in Delville wood, the whole of which is now ours." Gen eral Haig reported. "Two German counter-attacks were beaten off, with heavy losses to the enemy." "Further progress at Lonffueval" was announc J by the British commander-in-chief, who also related gains near Pozieres. "Near Nueve Chapelle." he reported, "small parties of Germans entered our front trenches at two points, but were Immediately driven out by a counter attack, leaving their wounded."

The pumps supplying the irrigation ditches on the south side of Rogue river and located at the Golden Drift dam, three miles above this city, were put out of commission, when they were D:idly damaged by the explosion of a dyna mite charge, placed in the machinery last night. The explosion occurred at about 12:30 o'clock, the dynamite having been placed within the big six foot pulley that drives the pumps for the Fruitdale ditches. The pulley was blown Into bits and pieces of the castings were hurled through the four-inch fir planking with which the dam is roofed. Labor difficulties are said to have been the cause. j Belt Is Bnlned. j The 41 Inch belt that carried the power from the turbines to the pumps was also ruined, the pulley and belt being valued at J2S0O. As it will re quire weeks to replace them, the south side ditches will not carry water again this season, and much damage to the crops will result. Ike Davis, night man in charge of the pumps, stood within 10 feet of the place of the explosion, and his escape was a miracle. The pumps had not been running during the night, and Davis had Just started the machinery when the ex plosion took place. There have been labor difficulties between the workmen upon the dam and the public service corporation for some time, and threats have been made against George Sanders, the manager. because of non-payment of labor claims. Threats Are Made. The threat was also made, it is said, that no water should go into the new ditch on the south side till these claims were paid. At a meet ing last night arrangements were made for future payment of these claims and the operation of the pumps seemed assured, notwithstanding that the laborers had filed many liens against the property. Water for the soutn side Is now out of the question for the season. Officers are making a thorough in vestigation, and a move Is under way to offer a reward for J1000 for the apprehension of the dynamiters.
