Ap- parently rough sheer exhaustion both sides almost completely halted infantry operations around the fort. Practically ail French military critics agreed to-day that this week's fighting at Verdun has been the | bloodiest in history. The Germans | have lost more men than In any other week of the war. Inspection made by military au- thorities of maps of the Verdun reg- fon shows that within the last month German gains on the west bank of the Meuse from Cumieres to Avo- court, average a depth of 300 metres. The line eastward from the river is substantially the same as it was a month ago. Following {s the text of to-day'’s War Office report: “On the left bank of the River Meuse there has been an artillery duel of considerable intensity in the sector of Hill 304, as woll as as on the front between Dead Man Hill and gress with hand grenades in the groves immediately to east of the village of Cumieres.
