LONDON, March 6.—The Doua
mont fighting is now deadlocken
after unparalelled efforts on the
part of the Germans to break
through.
General Petain is the man who
deadlocked the situation. He led
counter-attacks which used the
mounds of German dead as points of
wantage to gather for assaults ana
has driven the Germans to a defen
sive.
Potain Is the same man who le(
the way to Arras and in the Sep
tember Champagne attacks ha:
charge of the offensive. He wai
moved from the Champagne fron
by Joffre, and the change in thi
altered fortunes at the Verdun fron
is freely credited to him. Mllitar;
cPities declare v<*hc.t he compare:
favorably with tho best Germai
generals and is more than equal to
t Mackenzen himself in his ability to
■ deliver sledge hammer attacks. His
t tactics at Douamont, it is held, has
i savpd the day.

> PARIS, March 6.—Critics unanlm
: ously declare that the Verdun offen
• sive is a failure and today declare
i that the German assaults have now
i passed the zenith of succoco. The

ground is hold to be demonstrated
beyond any question. The French
today made quite extensive progress
in counter attacks at Douamont.
This will explain the confidence ot
the military authoritioo in the si
tuation The losses havo been very
great but th« Ooriuann arc quiet

POPE AGAIN TRYS HIS
ROME, March 6.—His Holiness
. Pope Benedict has renewed his peace
1 efforts. This much is admitted by
high Vatican oflieials although they
contend that the actual negotiations
which the Pope is carrying on must
just now be kept private as the pub
licity last given bis good offices
only resulted in his peace ap
proaches being misunderstood and
by at least two of the Powers not re
garded with much friendliness.
Complaint is made that an effort
Is made to make out Pope Benedict
as a partizan of one side or another
of the belligerents, which is wholly
unwarranted.

GERMAN SIEGE GUNS
POUR SHELLS TU VERDUN
VKRDUN, March 6.—The German
•hells dropping at evenly spaced in
tervals have reduced Intervening
matter Into powder. They are using
several varieties of burning liquid
shells from long range high power
suns In an attempt to destroy brid
ges and communications with the
eity.
The city has long ago boon prac
tically deserted and the French de
fenses are not subject to demolition
by siege guns, the fate of Liege and
Namur having caused the French
generals to change the plan of de
fense.
The fiercest struggle rages on the
Douamont plateau with the Frencn
holding their own this morning.
LONDON, March 6.—While mili
tary opinion seems unanimous In de
claring the German Verdun offensive
a failure, the Germans apparently
still intend to make further efforts
In that direciton. They are using
siege guns to destroy all communi
cations with the city, and it is pre-'
sumed that this signifies an inten
tion for even heavier attacks.
The ability of the French geneiai
is now admitted.
BERLIN, March 6.—The Doua
mont situation presents little or no
change. The French delivered heavy
counter attacks this morning with an
advantage in position. The heavy
artillery is planting shells against
the city of Verdun’s outer works.
The bombardment is well planned
and is doing great damage.
