WHERE BATTLE WAGES FROM NORTH SEA TO SWISS ALPS fK V'UT iW-vt' w?y t&i r-rt MS ' 15 ' J' y 1; FRENCH PRESS MIGHTY OFFENSIVE ON BLOODY GROUND NORTH OF VERDUN By HENRY WOOD WITH THE I'ltKNCH AKMIE.H IN TUB KIIJI.D, Aug. 21. The Rreatest battle of the world war Is being fought today. From tho seacoast to the Swiss' frontier more than 435, miles the Allied force. are fighting n vir tually continuous offensive. Prance's great assault at Verdun, still driving on today, completes the chain of battles which arc welded In tho forgo of war Into one glguntlc action of unprecedented extent and power. The great battle started with tho Anglo-French offensive Hi Inlanders, extended to tho British offensive at Lens, thence to the French attacks uTouiul St. Quentln, then to the French offensive at Chcmlndes-Dnnics, Moronvlllern nnd Verdun and con cluded with heavy artillery lighting In Lorraine and Alsace down to Switzerland. Tho Western front has never Hern such an extensive battle. Nor has the Allies' superior. Ity everywhere been so asserted. With three more mouths of fighting weather this year Germany's hold on the western front may become precarious before winter. I'crfect nnd co-ordinated strategy underlies the Kngllsh nnd French attacks. L They have been so timed. as to convert all the fighting Into one great battle. Onco before the Allies timed such n blow, but not In the force of that which Is pushing with terrific power today. On April 16 tho French' attacked tho southern pivot of the Hlndenburg line a week after the English nttucked the northern pivot. Today tho French are attacking the southern pivot, wheic the German lines hinge, on their famous Meuso retreat position, Tho drive comes exactly two weeks after the lhigllsh attack In Flanders threatened the German northern hold on the coast. While these two huge offensives developed today the battles around Lens, Arras, St. Quentln, along the Alsnu and at Moronvlllcrs continued with unabated ntenslty. Germany mudc her supicme effort In concentration of men and of artillery in the 1910 assault on Verdun. No offensive had ever i cached the Intensity of that one. 15ut the Fiench ass-auk of today, In tho Identical sector, has surpassed It. UilKAT CONC'ttNTHATION OF Gl'N.S The combined French and German artillery brought Into the play of death Is probably the greatest conccutititlon of weapons for n single attack the whole war has yet seen. During Sunday night's final artillery preparation by the French, although It was cloudy nnd the French military rules stiictly forbade the slightest glimmer of artificial light. 1 was able to leave Verdun at midnight and proceed to nn obervatlon point a greater distance from the city than Doiuunont because my way -" ..i.n u) me tuuimess inousunus ot gun nasites. Giant artillery kept the night continuously light. It was as though a million lightning flashes blent'cd Into one catacyllsmlc shock. The artillery lire gave light enough for the French guns to advance with every pock-mutl: of No .Man's Land visible. A roar of Incredible Intensity shook the earth. The Germans brought Into action giant SSO-mlllimcter (I. .-Inch) shrapnel shells High In the air they exploded with a great outburst of flume and their brilliance outshone even the naming red of the countless other Hashes. After each one of there dazzling bursts the whole air seemed filled with long drugon-shaped tails, puncturing the blackest sort of smoke --the exploding shrapnel bits. Not only was there the greatest concentration of artillery In the warV Irlston t erdun, but an unprecedented use of gas by the Germans in their efforts to stern tho Irencli attack. Enormous quantities of the newest nnd deadliest German gases were released both throughout the French artillery preparation and the actual Infantry attacks. The enemy even attempted a sort of gas barrage and special gas fields In efforts to wither the advancing wave of the French troop. , They also rushed up fresh divisions from far to tire rear ami Hung thc.-e prodigally Into the battle. The German concentration of artillery; massed to combat tlfe enormous number or Herich Held pieces, was estimated by German prisoners todav to equal the maximum artillery concentration for Germany's assault on Verdun in 1SI6. FIHST LINKS QUICKLY TAKEN The French had taken the German lirst lines In an amazingly short tune niter leaping oyer tho parapets. The Germans sent out hurry calls and masked great reserves, but vain, Later special stosstruppen units (picked storming troops) were assembled for counter-attacks-several at Ileaumont alone In all the hell of fire in the air one picture stood out vivldlv.

GERMANS REPULSED IN DESPERATE ASSAULTS ON AISNE AND MEUSE PA IMS. Aug. 21. German picked troops were flung vio lently but vainly against four points of the French fighting line last night.

"They were repulsed and flowed back tt their tienclies with heavy losses. "Oerrnan attempts at Hurtehlse likewise failed.

British Pledge Pope to Weigh Peace Terms Continued from Pace One xollerns, lie must demand guarantees that will not be- regarded a "scraps of paper." and these he believes Impossible except from a democracy, lie will point the way to peace for the German people, but will make It clear It cannot come through the offices of the Kaiser's Iron autocracy.

"Wo must win the light. Will you help?" A number of business organizations al ready have called meetings in prepaiatlon of i-nll.tiiig to .Mr Taylor support. The piehininar.v skirmishes occurred yes terday when the Mayor, municipal olllclals and business men launched hot verbal fire In statements attacking or defending that Issued yesterday by A.
