Moraht, military critic of the Tage
blatt The capture of the smaller fort
resses in the nest at the beginning of
war by the use of Heavy artillery was
only a prelude to the artillery opera
tions now in progress.
"The French have no been able to
compete with German artlllerj and
ammunition The enormous losses of
the Trench are due partly to the ef
fect of the German artlllerj and partly
to the tenacity of the French, who will
not abandon their trenches
"Although it Is generallj considered
that attacking forces must be four
times superior to those of the defence.
In the Verdun campaign the number of
German troops engaged Is much less
than half that of the French. The
number of French troops may be cal
culated at not less than SQv.000 This
figure represents half of tlie entire

refusal of Japan to hand over the aalt

tension in the Chinese situation.

so far that there is even a probability
