CI rtu iir HAMMERING GATES OP French Take Initiative in Latest Counter Movement and Gain Ground; Ferocity of Invaders Unparalleled. FRENCH ATTACK IN LORRAINE REPULSED Russian Successes Indicate Early Fall of Bagdad, Presaging Junction of Russians and British on Tigris. LONDON, March 4. The Carman armies at the pales of Verdun are hammering lir.nl wilh heavy artillery but at latest accounts had suspended infantry attacks. In the last fighting reported the initiative was on ihe'side of the French, who were desperately driving back at the Germans in a counter attack which pained ground.

Cernian thrusts in the new phase of the struggle are delivered with heaviest force on the salient northeast of the fortress in which lies the Douau-nont plain. Here the French were driven out of Fort Douaumont last week and just now from Douaumont village to the west. In and around the village -he battle lias fcen raging with violence with heavy losses on both sides. Unofficial accounts assert that there has been nothing on thp western front to equal in feracity the attacks delivered by the Germans, while the French infan- try are declared to be disputing every inch and to have forced the Germans i to rest on their laurels so far won. and leave the continuation of the battle to the German artillery.

Paris advices show that no doubt ren.ains in the minds or the French that there is nothing in the nature of a feint in the German effort, the belief existing that the Crown Prince is determined to capture Verdun and if rossible break through the French line and open the way to Paris. There has been some fighting further south 'in thp line, 'he Germans reporting repulse of a French attack in Lorraine, in which the French had some initial success, but were forced to relinquish ground taken. Elsewhere there has teen comparative quiet. The Russian occupation of Bitlis in Turkish Armenia is regarded by Pet-rograd as an important development, opening further way to Bagdad for the Russian army. Military observers already have mapped the probablfl route of the Grand Duke Nicholas's armies over 400 miles to a junction with the British on the Tigris.

It is believed the Turks now will be hampered in bringing reinforcements for the army defeated at Erzerum. while a southward thrust by the Russians has driven a wedge between the Turks in Armenia and those in Persia. The German Admiralty reported the sinking of two French auxiliary cruisers. This was denied by Paris. URGES MERCHANT MARINE.
