"Through a slit I looked out on i the battlefield as through the opening j in a theater curtain, t saw the Ger mans after long waiting, march for ward in good order.

"The Germans were 200 yards from ; , my post when our rifles and machine guns opened fire. They were taken by surprise and crouched down.

England Asks Why Their Forces Remain Inactive; Big Sea Fight Expected By Associated Press London, March 2.—There lias been l much impatience in Enplane! the past few days because ttie British on the ! west front have been comparatively Inactive, while the French have been ; engaged in desperate encounters and : it lias been often asked by the man in 1 the street why is not this the proper ! time for a great British offensive to ! deliver a smashing blow and relieve the pressure on the French side. Some of the special dispatches to the London morning papers from the ! British front endeavor to reply. The Times says: I "We are fretting because the Brit ish troops are not yet engaged in the | light. 'We need not fret. They are i acting closely with the French and i Belgian allies and when the hour I strikes they will take their part." j The Daily Sketch believes that the British may get a chance soon to takej | a hand by the use of their fleet and quotes Lord Fisher as saying he is I I convinced that "a big Anglo-German | j fleet action may take place at any i j day or hour now." \Country Around Fort Forms Natural Rampart By Associated Press Berlin. March 1, via London, March 2. —While in the battle of Verdun at tention >js concentrated chiefly on the spectacular German attack from the north against the permanent fortress line, the offensive from the east is no less deserving cf notice. To one familiar with this country, which the Associated Press corre spondent visited in September, 1914, during the thrust leading to the cap ture of St. Mihiel and the reduction of several other barrier forts in the line of Verdun-Toul. the offensive from this direction might seem so imprac ticable and hopeless as to be almost foolhardy. The so-called Cotes Lor raine, a lofty plateau serving as a watershed between the Meuse and Moselle, rises abruptly from the flat plain to a height of 300 to 500 feet. The plateau runs north and south. Be tween Verdun and Toul the slopes seemingly are as steep as the side of a house. The few roads crossing the Cotes are of a serpentine order. The Germans proved in 1914, how ever. that this tremendous natural rampart ts not impregnable. General Strand's army carried the heights on a fifteen-mile front between Combres and Apremont, although the steep slopes were defended by triple rows of trenches which were able to flre from the shelter of the plateau above. The new advance has brought tho Germans to the foot of the notes from Combres north to Blanzee, east of Ver dun. The slopes here are even more abrupt and precipitous than to the south. Evacuation of Town Was Made With Slight Loss By Associated Press Paris, Feb. 29 (delayed).—M. Cou ten. president of the Chamber of Com merce of Verdun, has arrived in Paris I and says that the order to leave »he city was given to the civilian popu i lation on Friday last.

It is thought more likely they are merely I resting before starling afresh with greater energy. It is believed in many quarters that the attack on Verdun was only a pre liminary to operations on a much larger scale for the purpose of trying to crush the French once and for all. | However lhat may be, it is affirmed ( that General .loffre is fully prepared | for all eventualities. So far only the local French reserves have been called upon at Verdun, the great general re serve force remaining intact for use in ; repelling other heavy onslaughts or | for carrying out a great counterattack j when the opportune moment arrives. ] The question is raised as to whether ] the next German attack will again be j at Verdun or along the front from 1 the Somrne to the Aisne, as it is known 1 that the Germans have been making \ preparations along the latter lines, the I southern limit of which is many miles J nearer to Paris than is Verdun. These I preparations, however, .are not so ! elaborate as those which had been ' made for Verdun, and should the Ger mans attempt the later plan, the mili- | tary observers say, they would be j liable to a (tank attack by the British i in Artois and Flanders. On the other hand, if the Germans continue their assaults against Verdun j from the plain of the Woevre, their in fantry will, have to attack without the j support of the heaviest German guns. I it is argued, as the water-soaked soils of the Lorraine plain make the trans port of such guns almost impossible. The plain is only crossed by four mili tary roads and troops and light artil | Icry would be obliged to deploy in tlio 1 open under fire from the French po sitions on the heights of the Meuse. Two valleys lead to Verdun from the plain. Both arc blocked by Forts des Tavannes and Rozellier and every where else the infantry would faio thickly wooded heights with a straight i drop of 250 feet.
