now raging furiously for a week, was another _ami desperate attempt to break through the Allied lines t‘o‘Paris' and, possibly, to the Channel coast cities.

. Verdun is one of three strongly fortified towns just

inside the eastern frontier of France on the Alsace Lorraine border. The other two are Nancy and Bel- fort. The French had taken extra precautions in the fortification of Verdtin, as it.\vas believed that if

agreements became “ scraps of paper," and an il”/8550!! .

through the easier way, Belgium, had not been antici-

pated. ’Verdun is the most northerly 'of these border ' forts, Belfort being the most southerly, and Nancy ' about midway between. Verdun is a little north of : due east from Paris and is regarded as one of the most » vital points on the border. Its capture by the Germans would undoubtedly be a serious blow to the Allied- cause, as the entry here through the Allied lines would t no doubt mean a re-adjustment of the whole front.

Altliough the battle isstill in progress, and so far

it has been the most_sanguinary of the whole war, and ~

there are many reasons to hope that the German attack wilf fail. _ , ‘ _ lt may be noted that the facilities_for the _move- V ment of troops in France are fully equal to those in (ierniaiiy. Tliere is a splendid system of military railroads back of Verdun-_connecting with all the

depots that lie towards Paris and also with these to _C

the south, so that fresh' reiiiforcements"c:_in_,be brought ` up at very short notice. This is an important factor in the strength of Verdun and_ should not_be lost sight 'of in our guessing as to the probability of the town holding out. ~ ~

‘lt is claimed, and is probably correct, that the

oiislaughts by the Germans at this point have been ‘made desperately and with utter disregard to _the lives[ of those participating in it. The estimated number " of dcatl, ns given in oitr dcspatches yesterday, was 45,000, besides man more than that ntiinber `

reason to believe that they will have made this awful sacrilice iii vain, that Verdtin shall stand the onslaught

or may not be a reliable authoriliyi is confident that the German attack will fail. He b:`ises.this.opinion on the natural defences-in commanding hills-'around Verdun, rather than on the strength of the artificial forts. From' the east and north-east he considers that Verdun is practically iinpregnable, while ~west'and south ranges of hills and the River _Meuse afford good' _ protection. _ ` ,-

Should this German drive fail, and our despatches

of the next' few days must tell the tale, it will be a serious blow to German prestige andiwill add more” and more to the discontent of the German people. On the other liand, we know now the wonderful resource- fulness of the Germans and, from the experiences already gained in this war, we know that almost any-it thing is possible. What German resourcefultiess cannot ` accomplish will be #well _ supplemented by German deviltry, and if there isanything of this latter talent that has not yet been trie'd-the;/“may be expected to put it on before they ab__andon_ this master stroke, attempted under the eyes of the Kaiser and the per- sonal command of the Crown Prince. ,; ' _

~ lt has been said, and truly, that agricultural science has made more progress 'in_ the last few ycarstlian in the previous half-century. There are many reasons ‘ why this should be so. In former years farmers were obliged"to" work oulftheir elcperiments individually and, necessarily, years must elapse before the experi- ment could .be classified`~as a success dr' a failure; Many of these, attemptedwith hut llttle if _any know# ledge of thescience of agriculture, were`°failures.- .It w:i,s_ the f_es\_' who succeeded, and that after years of patient and unprofitable waiting. Since the federal govt-_rn_nieiit has unflcrtalien to carry out these expert-_ ments on experimental farms in dit¥ere'nt opfntlfee oouiitry, _and has employed the most expeijt scientists _ . available _for the study of the laws `g`overning the G growth and development of 'plant and animal life, and has placed the' results of their researches at the dis-
