From Verdun there is not much to report. Fighting has

been going on during the whole week, often of a desperate character, but the Germans have gained little or nothing of importance. We might almost apply the same words to the rest of the Allies' line, except that the intensity of the German artillery fire has been far greater at Verdun than elsewhere. The Crown Prince has, however, refrained altogether during the past week from massed infantry attacks. The reason is clear. He can no longer say: " There are plenty more where those came from." Some day he may have to say: "There are no more, &c."
