FRENCH PICTURE BATTLE
PAIU8, March 1. French civilians anil
Wohhdcd. soldiers arriving In Paris from
Verdun declttro tlio Gorman losses have
been on a scale almost unprecedented.
At some points the corpses aro said to
llo In mounds more than a yard high.
Amonff the. wounded hero Is a sergeant
of a "75" battery In the section near
Rcgnovlllo, who describes tlio aennan at
tack on Saturday morning against the
Coto do Polvro os follows;
"From dawn till 7 o'clock their howitz
ers had tried to demolish lis without
hurting n, man or gun. Wo held our
flre, watting for their Infantry. At 5:30
O'clock a messago cama that they wqro
moving forward, Wo could not eeo them
because they wcro hidden by tho Talou
hill. As wo tried to look out. our lieu
tenant ordorcd us under covor
'Suddenly tho telephone operator gavn
tho Blgnal. Wo began firing nt 1800
metres (960 yards), and fired nt full
erccd for 20 minutes. When tho order to
cease fire came there was a heap of shell
cases fully man-high behind our mini.
At tho order I rushed to look out from tlio
trench at tho Bide. At tho top of tho
raVIno on the edga of the plateau was a
great heap of Germans. They looked like
. swarm of bees crawling over each other.
Not one was standing Kvery mlnuto
shells threw bodies and debris Into tho
air.
UAVINES COrtPSE-CIIOKHD
"The whola ravine slope was gray with
corpses. One could not sec tho ground.
they Wore so numerous, and tho snow was
no longer white. Wo calculated that there
wore fully 10.000 dead at that point alone,
nnd" tho river thnt ran past was dappled
with patches and streaks of blond. I
Had read of rivers running blood ; now f
have seen It. While the stream wan not
crimson, one could trace the reddish
patches distinctly. As wo watched a
German shell camo nnd a fragment lodged
111 my shoulder. The lieutenant said It
served mo right for not keeping covered.
I would gladly havo given both nrms to
have been able to stay until the enemy
was beaten."
Refugees from the city of Verdun
evacuated by civilians In order to save
loss from bombardment tfll a story that
giveb some Idea of what tho German sac
rifice has been
The French had mined the Cnures wood
outside of Beaumont village connecting
the mines with tho village. When tho
Germans advanced to attack tho wood.
tho French regiment holding It ran ns If
seized by panic back towards the village.
Ths Germans pursued them shouting.
Soon the last Frenchman had emerged
from the trees but the French commander
waited until the Germans had thoroughly
enterod the mined area. Thoy were just
beclnnlng to debouch on tho higher side
wheri ho pressed tho button. There was
a tremendous roar, dwarfing for a mo
ment oven the boom of the cannon. Tho
wood was covered with a cloud of smoko
nnd even on tho French trenches In Beau
mont, there rained a ghastly dew.
When the French re-entered tho wood
unopposed they found no German un
woundod and hardly a, scoro alive.
- Another combatant gives his experiences
wrfdllaws:
"At dawn wo received orders to leavo
tho trench and to retire to a strong posi
tion in tho Vnux woods In front of Douau
mont. Bending low we retired the four or
five kilometres through the snow without
much loss.. Onco In the new trenches we
could no$ hear one anothor Bpnak, so great
Was tho noise of the cannonading, nnd
when we looked through tho periscopes
we could only sco heavy clouds of smoko
shutting out tho sky, with jets of fire
flashing through the snowflakes Thero
were about a dozen of us In the trench,
and wo felt tho suppressed emotion so
much that at last we. all burst out singing,
and yet none of us could hear a v word
spoken, even by himself.
"Thon we saw tho Germans coming on.
They were In such masses that they
looked like a flock of sheep. Whon our
guns began to speak, whlto empty spaces
sodwed among tho gray of the advancing
masses; but they were soon filled up by
fresh patches of gray. As they nearcd
our barbed wire our machine guns opened
Are and we had to cover our cars with
anything that camo handy, the noise was
now so tremendous. I felt no fear, but 1
had no feelings or thoughts, only a sort
of buzzing and vertigo. When night
came on and the flares lighted up tho
field, the Germans seemed to bo Quito
close, but It was an optical Illusion. They
advanced' very bravely, waving their rlllea
or leaping as they passed over the heaps
of dead. I was knocked over by a shell
and had roy arm broken, and as the trench
was obliterated I crawled away and for
tunately met an armored automobile which
took me to Verdun."
"X have fought Blnce the beginning of
the war," says another soldier, who has
returned to Paris and who was present
at the fighting at Ornes.
"I saw the shambles at Sulppes and
Souain. They wero nothing to what I
saw last week. The enemy advanced and
we retired under orders, but we killed
them by the dozen. It was so terrible
that 1, who have wntohed my comrades
JfaKnrqwa me almost with Indifference,
shudder Jis my memory recalls those
scenes. V
"As their battalions advanced upon us
they were In serried masses, by flies of 20.
Th shrapnel fronv.our 7C-mIUImeter guns
and: the projectiles from our heavy artil
lery fell among them and you could Bee
the great gaps, as if a mower had passed
with a scythe. Then high-explosive shells.
Which Durst on contact, xeii anu umos
were shot Into the air. We were so close
that Pieces of their torn flesh fell, among
us. Eventually we reached Moncourt and
toojt.-v!ter for a time In a wood. Al
kthoSkjVrt was 3 o'clock In the morning,
vb.eKifrsttng' shells made it as clear as

Conttnunl from Vat One
Government astrny Governmental ar

I havo just mndo a tour of the raided

German bombs which blew scores of men,

thousands of men to tho colors and, let

"Well, n young fellow was going to

out of the hutch Bang! They
picked the child up In pieces."
As wo proceeded through tho rural
towns and villages, the sights and tnlcs
wcro all the name. Hed-cyed mothers were
mourning their di'ud children, while other
women who, too, had lost close relatives
and friends, were offeilng pathotlc con
dolences that availed little. Recruiting
sergeants wero gathering In the young
men. boy recruited by death and disaster
"WHAT'S TO BE DONE?"
"What's to be done?" an old woman
was crying excitedly, with the pathetic
futility which so many of her class show.
"Done!" exclaimed an elderly khaki
clad man "Listen to me' You've got to
send your lads Into the army. You'vo got
to piny for powder, and more powdor,
Instead of pond-. You'vo got to go right
out and got n Job in a munition factory

old Bill's got to make his own meals,
nnd you'vo got to send the washing out,
or do It botweon you on Sundays! We'll
noter win till every blessed Briton lends a
hand!"
Hxcltcd "Hear! hears '" followed this
outburst
In Staffordshire I raw a shattered
church and a meeting house adjoining,
with its entire sldo torn out. Somo girls
who had attended tho moettng when tho
bomb fell told me nbout It.
"Tho vicar's wife was conducting a lit
tle service," thoy said, "and about 200 of
us wero present, mostly women and girls.
All of a sudden there was n roar, a
blinding Hash .then uttor darkness. When
lights wcro brought In, we saw that tho
vicar's wife had been struck by a pleco of
shell and virtually blown Into pieces,
while n woman and a young girl wero also
killed. Two clergymen who wero present
wero seriously Injured and bleeding pro
fusely In fact, the platform looked like
a slaughter housol"
In that snmo town we encountered a
man whoso aged parents, wife and three
children had been killed by anothor
bomb. He refused to talk, but there
was a strango light In hla eyes which
looked like dawning Insanity.
The Btreet In which ho lived had been
"bombed" out of all recognition, tho
houses wero In ruins, nnd tho little garden-plots
formerly so neat and trim
were strewn with smashed furnlturo and
the debris of walls and roof.
A somewhat Inebriated gentleman In
sisted on glvlpg us his impressions of
the great air raid, with sundry unflat
tering opinions of the Kaiser. It trans
pired that when the rploslons took place
he had been drinking his usual con
vivial cup In the local tavern, "Tho Brin
dled Cow." At the first detonation, his
glass of beer had fallen from his hands,
a mishap which ho has never ceased to
lament.
"An Kmperor who'll rob the working
man of his beer Is 'urdly the bloke we
want over 'ere." he declared with some
heat.
WILD SCENE IN THEATBE.
Wild scenes took place In a Derby
shire theatre when a bomb fell on tho
roof, and rolled off, burning, Into the
road below. Tho roof quite porccptlbly
Bwnycd Inwards, and utter panic would
have resulted had not the artists and
tho manager laughed and Joked and
reasoned with the audience. They In
sisted that the national anthem be sung,
and the audience, huddled In various
corners of the building, sang with falter
ing voices which scarcely could bo heard
above tho detonation of the bombs.
Scattered all over England there are
ruined homes and new-made graves. But
though the Zeppelins have filled many
graves, they have also filled thousands
of khaki uniforms. and Lord
Kitchener's repeated calls for recruits
have never been more potent than this
terrible menace from the heavens !

UEHLIN, March 1. "Do you consider
It possible to force our people to give up
their neutrality by prcssuro with bay

will abandon tholr King does not know the
Greek character."
Thus declared Mr. Skouloudis, Prime
Mlnlrter of Gieece, to the correspondent
of the Uerllncr Tageblutt, who was Inter
viewing him, accoidlng to tlio Overseas

terview ns follows:
"Mr. Skouloudis nsperfed that between
January 1 and January 10 the Entente
Powers trlod to move tho Greek people
to rebellion ugnlnst their Government by
attempting to starve them out, but that
tho Greeks got along on vegetables and
fruits. When tho Entente Powers saw
this, lidded the Premier, they understood
that not only tho Greek army, but the
majority of the Greek people, Indorsed
their Govei ninent's policy.
"The Entente, therefore, changed Its
tactics," continued Mr. Skouloudis, "and
allowed tho Greeks their icgulnr rations.
"Greece hopes for and would welcome
an offensive against Salonlca," tlio Pre

that port affects every Greek like a nlght

tho Bulgarians weie to enter Greece for

would not be hurt. Finally ho declared
emphatically:
"At all events, tho world will see that
Greece will not give up her neutrality.
She will not allow herself to be forced by

BRITISH TRADE TURNS
TO PROTECTIVE TARIFF
Chambers of Commerce Ask
Abandonment of Nation's
Economic Policy
LONDON, March 1. Delegates from
all but ono of the Chambers of Commerce
of tho United Kingdom, with but 12 dis
senting Votes, adopted resolutions today
Calling for the overthrow of Great Brit
ain's policy of free trade and tho stibstl"
tutlon of a policy, which, though not
characterized ns protection, Is designed "to
foster and safeguard British Industries."
Ueglnatd McKcnnn, Chancollor of the
Exchequer, who has charge of the fram
ing of tnrlft schedules, told tho Exccutlvo
Committee that tho Government was not
committed to tho old economic policies
which, the experience of the war had
shown, must bo ndjusted to the new con
ditions. "We havo seen a nation which In tlmo
of profound peaco deliberately planned,
prepared nnd provoked wnr and wo havo
found ourselves dependent on that nation
for many articles of our own trade," ho
said. "I do not think that as a. nation
wo shall over allow ourselves to bo placod
In that position again.
"Thero Is an Issuo which once divided
the nation and on which the opinions of
most of us probably remain unchangod,
But It does net follow because wo stand
uor ns wo stood befora that thero Is not
a very largo field for common agreement
among us. '
"Because trade Is free It docs not
follow that tho Government should not
nsslst our traders and wo nro prepared
to glvo the nsslstanco of the Government
to tho development of foreign trade in
order that It may no longer be controlled
by our enemies."
Two of the resolutions adopted reflected
overwhelmingly the sentiment for an en
tire readjustment of tho British economic
nnd trade policy.

As a result, Library Bureau devised methods which put the
