The French With Small Loss of | Ground Have Warded Off Attacks | of Three Times Their Number. London, March 6.--The Times has| received a special despatch from | Lord Northcliffe, who has been at] Verdun since Friday morning. | After giving a general description | of.the fighting, Lord Northcliffe said: | "I lunched at the simple head- quarters with General Petain, who drank tea with his brief meal. He | discussed the battle as though offly | an interested spectator. He looks | like Lord Roberts, though larger built. He spoke with great interest of the Canadians and Australians and the growth of the British army. Both hie and his staff are remarkable by | the complete lack of excitement. ! "After another gathering of offi- | cers the talk/ touched on the question | whether thé British should attack | now to relieve the Verdun pressure. The opiniofi was mostly adverse, but the French evidently feel that our | army has rédached the point of being ! able to bear Britain's full share in the future operations, French officers agree that Verdun's failure is chief- ly moral, and that they are confident the line would hold if the fortress fell, Puny German Soldiers, "But if the neutrals could see the poor quality of the Teuton soldiers they would be more impressed than by the fall of Verdun. What a pity your Highlanders can't meet them in a fair fight; it would end the war in a month," said a French captain as we passed a group of wretched, puny prisoners. Germany must be near | the end of her tether when five-foot- four, narrow-chested youths are members of the elite corps like the 3rd or 5th Berlin Army Corps." "It is"known that thé Germans in- tended an.attack later, but prema- ture spring seemed to dry the ground sufficiently and accelerated their | more than i valuable informa- tion, and the French were fully pre- | pared. So far the Germans have been { effectively. checked, with losses hard to - exaggerate, while the French | losses are really trifling. In inter- rogating scores of prisoners belong: ing to every corps engaged, their ac- counts agree that everywhere the tosses are beyond anything known before. kd Three Germans to One French. | "The true moral of the Verdun fighting is that the French, with a | comparatively small loss of ground, have warded off the attack of armies outnumbering them originally three to one, "There is no means of estimating | how long the battle of Verdun may | still rage. The French are confi- | «dent that they have the measure of the enemy, both in men and mate- rial, and that unless the bombard- ment is followed by infantry attacks of far greater vigor and persistence than any yet executed by the enemy, the defending force will have time to | make its positions practically im- | pregnable. » "Verdun is not likely to be taken." | | very small company who held an ad- SOLDIERS ATTACKED | PRO-GERMAN PASTOR.

HE BEGS BELLIGERENTS TO SACRIFICE THEIR PRIDE AND END CONFLICT. © Pontiff WFites Special Letter Lenten Beason--Wants the Ended in Accordance With tice, Rome, March 6.--Pope War Jus- Benedict fas again raised his voice for peace. | In a special letter, written for the Lenten season, the Pontiff says he cannotggit silent, indifferent to the terrible conflict-Which is rending Eu- rope. He rlcalls all that he has done to induce the contending nations to lay down their arms, virtually throwing himself between the bellig- erents and conjuring them in the name of the Almighty to desist in their plan of mutual destruction. The Pontiff again sets forth the proposal, which * he made some months ago, as follows: "Bach belligerent should clearly state his desires, but should be ready to make necessary sacrifices of pride and particular interests, thus ending the monstrous conflict in accordance with justice and re-establishing peace advantageous to neither side, but profitable to all, and, therefore, a just and lasting peace. "This paternal voice," continues the Pope, "was not heard. Thus the war continues with all its hor- rors. I rejoice that our ery for peace has had a profound echo in the hearts of the belligerent peoples; in- deed, the peoples of the whole world, and has aroused a deep desire to see the sanguinary conflict soon cease. "I must, therefore, once. more raise my voice against this war, which appears as the suicide of civil- ized Europe." The second part of the letter deals with prayers, penance and alms in the neutral countries, the alms to be devoted especially to the relief "of the pitiful children of those dead in this horrible war."

Good For Allies, Bad For the Turk --Latter Must Take Roundabout Route To Reach Defeated Third Army. Petrograd, March 6.--For the se- cond time in a trifle over a fortnight the Russians have broken through the Turkish front. The of the taking of Bitlis, officillay an nounced, is in the opinion of Rus- sian military authorities two-fold, inasmuch as it notably increases the seaurity of the Russian left flank in the Caucasian operations and also further opens the way to Bagdad, the goal of this southern movement, and to a junction with the British forces near that point. From Bitlis to Bagdad, a distance of slightly more than 400 miles, there are two routes, ope through Diarbekr, 125 miles southwest of Bitlis, and the other through Sert, which is almost due south of Bitlis and about fifty miles distant. Over these roads the Turks were rushing reinforcements from Mesopotamia not only for the defense of Bitlis but to aid the Turkish troops retreating from Erzerum. These troops will now be forced to take a roundabout route to reach the defeated Turkish third army, if they are not defin- itely checked by the Russian success in the Lake Van region. Turk Forces Bitlis also served the Turks as a point of communication betw the troops operating in the M dis- trict and those about Lake Urumiah, over the border in Persia.
