Tho great battle begun 201 days ago has now entered Its third and final stage. The French are steadily winning back their lost positions. Tho battlo will gradually die out like an extinct volcano. It has now been learned definitely that tho Germans were forced to re- move huge quantities' of artillery and men from Verdua to the Somme front three weeks ago to' meet tho new i , Anglo-French offensive.

This fact I was able to ascertiln personally Thursday and Friday, when the German bombard mont lot loose as a prelude to an at tempt to recapture trenches captured by tho French In tho Vaux Chapttre and Chenols woods on Wednesday. This cannonading was Incomparable to tho terrific Are from the German guns that marked, the early fighting around Verdun. MRS. HAMMER IS HEAD OF W.C.T.U.
