GENEVA, March 5.—It Is privat
ely reported hero that at no time
since the war began has Germany
found the fighting so costly in hu

can control Verdun they will effoct
such a rupture of tho French defense
that the capture of Paris will be
within quick reach.
PARIS, March 5.—There Is con
siderable anxiety today here over
the Verdun situaticn, but tho gal
lantry of the French in resisting
the ad.vc.rco of the Gormans In the
vicinity of Douamont is proving a
costly obstacle to the Teutons. Al
though the papers still insist in
considering this tho last desporato
Gorman drive beforo tho campaign
opons properly for the year, there
is quite a note of anxiety in all the
reports as to Verdun’s position. It
is even officially admitted that tho
situation is somewhat serious.
BERLIN, March 5.—Much heavier
fighting is now falling to the lot ot
the German troops as the French
soldiers aro offering a sterner and
more relentless cppcsltion in the
Verdun region.

cupancy of this district. They have
dootroyed the homes of tho Turks
