The Verdun woods may go down In history as the world's bloodiest battlefield. Tralnloads of wounded, shattered men are reaching here, giving evt dence of tearful carnage north of Verdun. Other trains are steaming eastward with reinforcements and munitions to fill the gaps made by the German offensive. "There must be 30,000 wounded men dying In awful agony In the rain and snow, simply because their com rades can not reach them," said a surgeon today. "The percentage of dead will ex ceed that of the Champagne offensive last September, because la this battle there is no lull, and no chance to withdraw the wounded under fire." Thousands of dead and wounded men lay In the open on the plain north of "Pepper heights," under a hurricane of shells. Other thousands are among the stumps of Caures' forest, the wounded In a living death, the dead left to rot, while the killing continues. On the plain north of Dousumont the slaughter is frightful. Surgeons reported that some regi ments on both sides hsd almost dis appeared, so awful is the battling. All agree that never before has there been known a cannonade comparable to that by the Germans. Though the tragedy of Verdun is written on the faces of the Parisian men and women, they are neverthe less cheered by the latest advices In dicating that the French left holds the "Pepper heights," while the cen ter and right are counter-attacking from the ruins of Douaumont Officers assert that the French have accumulated so strong a reserve of ammunition for Just such an offen sive as this that the German losses soon will be so great that the offen sive must halt from sheer exhaus tion.

Germany will not torpedo passenger liners without warning, even after Tuesday, when ber warfare against armed enemy merchantmen 'becomes effective, the United Press was reliably Informed today. Germany will endanger human lives only In case a steamer attempts to escape, to Are on a submarine or to ram it Berlin, Feb. 28. President Wil son's letter to Senator Stone has sud denly shown officials bere that the German-American situation Is seri ous. , "These are Impressive words," said a high foreign office official, af ter reading press versions of the pre sident's declaration. The president's sentence declaring he had no choice, In honor, but to take the position he has taken struck home. The foreign office, however, is puzzled at his declaration that sub marine attacks on armed enemy ships are violations of international law. "Surely he has not received the Woodfleld proof," said one, referring to the alleged secret British orders, IR found on the British steamer Wood flold when sunk by a German, to at tack submarines. "Surely by those orders the allies have violated Inter national law first and are thereby en dangering Americans." The difference between the past and the future submarine warfare will be that: Armed ships will not be consider ed legitimate peaceful trading ves sels. Commanders will not torpedo ev Lit .

Germany Is not courting troublo with the United States, tout if a fu ture accident endangers Americans, Germany will consider she Is not re sponsible, Inasmuch as she has warn ed Americans and the American gov ernment officially. Officials and the American colony read with surprise President Wilson's letter to Senator Stone, Leaders were astounded that the armed enemy ship controversy had been linked by the president with a question of America's "national honor." As the hour for the new campaign approaches, the question of a possible break Is receiving more considera tion, as both officials and the public believe the attitude of the United States government in the negotia tions Is unfair and unfriendly.
