London, Feb. 28.-- The P. & O. liner, Majola 12,431 tons, sank off Dover. The passengers were pick- ed up by rescue boats. Twenty-five dead bodies were landed. The pas- sengers numbered about 150. The Majola struck a mine, : - The British steamship Empress of Fort William in attempting to res- cue the survivors of the Majola also struck a mine and sank. The Empress of Fort William is a Canadian vessel. It was formerly owned by the Playfair Company, and passed to the Canadian Steamships Limited. s An Official' Enquiry.

London, Feb. ©? 28 The German "drive for Verdun has reached, a stand- still. It is' questionable at present who holds Fort Douaumont. Both Berlin and Paris War Offices claim it. The French official statement says French troops have advanced beyond that point, and havé resisted all at- tempts to drive them pack. It also Says that in the Champagne all at- tacks were repulsed, and that nine French aeroplanes dropped 144 shells on Metz, . The German statement claims that the French prisoners taken in thg Verdun fighting number about fif- teen thousand. French Realignment. Experts are inclined to the belief that Verdun itself will be safe, al- though a realignment of the French lines to the east of it is quite pos- sible. North of Verdun, where the French are enabled to enfilade the enemy from across the Meuse, the Germans have been 'held at the north of the river bend, their own sion being that their claim of an ad- vance to Champneuville, and capture of that town wag incorrect. It is further east that the Ger- mans have made their chief advance, and the language of the official state- ment "indicates. that while this ad- vance reached Fort Douaumont, it did not penetrate so far south to the east and west of that fort. The Brandenburg regiments, outstripping the advance of either side of them, "pushed on as far as the village and armoured fort of Douaumont," which now forms a salient in the German lines.

The great onslaught directed against Verdun is but the prelude to a grand assault by the Germans along the whole western front, the most tremendous offensive movement the world has ever seen. World's Bloodiest Battlegrounds. Special to the Whig. Paris, Feb. 28. -- The' Verdun woods may go down in history as the world's bloodiest battlégrounds. Trainloads of wounded are moving Parisward to-day, and are evidence of the fearfulness of the carnage north of the French fortress. Other trains, laden with fresh troops and munition supplies, are hurrying east- ward to fill the gaps in the French ranks. ' Paris is cheered by the latest ad-| vices from the War Office; indicating that the French left continues to hold firmly on the Pepper Heights, north of Verdun, while the centre and right deliver violent connter-at- tacks against the Germans eastward from the ruins of Fort Douaumont. The first surgeons arriving in Paris in chargé of the wounded reported that whole regiments on eithér side have almost completely disappeared. Caught under a rain of shells in the advanced trenches, those who sur- vived qr escaped the first blasts but slightly wounded were blotted out as they attempted to f#il back. "The percentage of dead will ex-| ceed that of Champagne offensive," | said one surgeon, "because there has | been no real lull, on chance to with- draw the wounded under fire. There must be thirty thousand wounded men dying ih awful agony ii the rain and snow, simply because their com- rades cannot get to them." : All reports from the battle front agree that no cannonade comparable with that directed by the ns has been experienced by the ch since the beginning of the war. The greatest confidence prevails here. Officials assert that the French munitions reserves have been accumulated for the very purpose of meeting such an attatk and that the German losses must soon cause a halt in the offensive.
