Associated Press Correspondent
Tells of Viewing Burning City,
of Verdun from Teuton Line.
GERMAN PROGRESS CONTINUAL
IIEADQUAIITKUS OF THE
ARMY OF THE GERMAN CROWN
PRINCE, before Verdun. March 31,
(Via Ixindon and Borlln.) Ger
man artillery Is playing heavily on
the north front of Verdun. Vast
clouds of smoke mark the site of the
burning; suburb behind Forts Relle-
llle and Kroldeeterre, net afire by
the bombardment of these two fort,
which bar Ingress to the city along
the east bank of the Meuse.
Eight miles westward, across
the river, a mass of smoke columns.
foatlng like a hazy forest of cypress
above Dethincourt, Malancourt and
Hill No. 304, testifies to the hall of
high calibred shells which Is falling
on this northwestern outpost of the
Fn.nch positions.
Which of Two Ittarkrd question.
Which of these two points will be the
scene of the next phase of the !erman
offensive Is a question which doubtless
puxzling the mind of tieneral Joffrc
and General I'etaln.
The Associated Press correspondent has
made an Inspection of the ground gained
by the Germans on the Verdun front In
the fortnight since the last previous
visit of the correspondent. On the prev
ious occasion the tlernmns had advanced
their lines east of the river to the center
girdle of forts and had carried Pouau-
mont and the adjoining redoubts. The
French then retained the west bank of
the river for a distance of three miles
north of the line of pouaumont and were
maintaining a harassing artillery fire
from the heights on this bank against the
German flank and rear.
French Cleared from Itrtlon,
It wss necessary to clear the French
from this region before the German
attack against the fortress could proceed.
This has been accomplished. Of tho old
positions the French now hold only a nar
row tongue of land between Pead Man's
hill and Avocourt wood. This position
naturally stronu. with 1II1I No. 304
as the backbone and the two fortified
lllages of Malancourt and Uethlncourt
at the end. But from the Intense artil
lery flro falling upon It today from three
sides It appeared that the French retain
only by race of the Germans and
must abandon It whenever an earnest
attack Is delivered.
French l.aanrra Active.
French guns are no less active than
the Germans, although their fire Is more
scattered. This Is because the task of
tho French gunners is to search out
German batteries hidden over the entire
landscape and restrict their activity as
much an possible.
The French gunners seem to be per
forming their task well. They know the
position of many batteries and shoot
with uncomfortable accuracy, as the cor
respondent experienced recently when a
shell dropped squarely in the battery
by which ha was standing.
An officer from the headquarters of the
crown prince explained to the corre
spondent the operations leading to tho
occupation of the region west of the river.
The French positions here, from which
the German operations on the east bank
had been subjected to a flanking flro
were on Goose Mill and in Cumleres
wood, with strongly fortified supporting
points for infantry in tho villages of
Regnlevllle and Bethlncourt. Every
house had been converted into a minia
ture fortress by walling the cellars with
masonry and cement and providing em
brasures for machine guns and rifles.

Deride on Klank Attack.
A frontal attack would have entailed
heavy losses In charging up steep slopes
of the (loose Ridge and Dead Man's hill,
so the German leaders determined to at
tempt s flank attack. A surprise crossing
was completely successful. Several col
umns were thrown across the river and
Goone Hill was rsrrled. Regnlevllle was
surrounded and the French garrison sur
rendered several days later.
The first heavy resistance was encount
ered in the ravine and In Cumleres wood.
The resistance was finally broken and
the defenders, whoso escape was pre
vented by a curtain of fire of shrapnel
behind the wood, were killed or captured
almost to a man, fighting desperately to
the last. The French counter attack aa
delivered to hurriedly, only three batta
lions participating, instead of a brigade
as ordered by General Petaln.
The Germans then carried Pead Man's
hill. The attack here then ceased and
was transferred to Avocourt wood. This
attack succeeded in the first rush. The
French now hold only the sack-like po
sitions two and a half miles wide and
about the same depth, containing Hill No.
.KM. The contents of the suck are ex
pected to pass Into German possession
when the artillery operation has ended.
Interviews Captives.
Inning the day the correspondent had
an oppottunlty of Interviewing a large
number of French prisoners captured In
Avocourt wood. They were surprised by
the German tactics, which were based on
artillery of such precision that the Ger
mans were nble to start their charge
while the artillery was still playing on
the French trenches, and to cover the
greater part of the intervening ground
before the guns shifted their range
farther bck from the comandlng height
near the bank of the Meuse.
The Associated Press representative
was able today to survey the whole battle
front north of Verdun. The background
of the panorama was the burning city of
Verdun with Its squatty cathedral tower
standing out amid the smoke. Two bar
racks and other prominent buildings were
easily descernlble to the naked eye, as the
distance was only ten" milts. The city
has been buring for several days and tho
fire apparently had almost burned Itself
out. Shells were dropping with ominous
regularity In the vicinity of Fort Belle
ville on the extreme left of the picture.

Thence the view, swept around, tak
ing In the ridge crowned by Forts Marre
and Hois Hourrus, which stood out
plainly against the sky line, and the
black masses of Mourrus forest, Goose

and the villages of Forges and Cumleres,
to Forges Wood and Montfancon.
Bourrus forest, which probably con
tains many French artillery positions,
was receiving considerable attention from
the German heavy guns on the ac
count. Pillars of black smoke spouted

In the fastnesses of the western mountains millions of tons of water
