(Copyright, 1936, by The Canadian Press) The Battles Of Verdun Records of the war are rich in names forever emblazoned on the world's scroll. In no similar period i of history were so many and so bloody battles fought, so many men pitted in relentless death-grapple I against each other, j Of them all, however, none quite conveys, or can be made to convey, .everything that is embodied in the name of a little city in northeastern France, a name which now has Its place in proverb Verdun. It is symbolical of bloodshed to the most prodigal degree, of enraged and overwhelming attack, of the most courageous and the most self-sacrificing in defence. "They shall not pass," was the resolution which steeled French resistance during those months of 1916 when, shattered and blasted by high explosives, the poilus rose iup from the chaos around them I and battled in defence of Verdun, j Day after day the forts encircling I this little city on the Meuse were drenched with shells, day after day I the Germans threw themselves in 'overwhelming numbers against the defenders, day after day ground ; was lost or ground retaken. The j drama of Verdun brought almost I every other war activity to a tem-'porary cessation, all eyes focussed Ion France's agony. The battles of Verdun opened i February 21, 1916. At that period of the war the Canadian troops were far removed from the region, almost at the other extremity of the allied line. Their three divisions ranged from Messines to the neighborhood of St. EM, at the base of the Ypres Salient a locale in which a month later they were themselves to have a bitter taste of war. As to Verdun, Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, who commanded the defence almost Immediately following the opening stages of the battle, has this to say: Nothing: Like It ''Nowhere before, on any front, in any battle, had anything like it been seen. The Germans aimed to create a 'zone of death' within which no troops could survive. An avalanche of steel and iron, of shrapnel and poisonous gas shells, fell on our woods, ravines, trenches and shelters, destroying everything, transforming the sector into a enamel field, defiling the air, spreading flames into the heart of the town, damaging even the GUTTA PERCHA TIRES GUM CUSHIONED THE in TIRE CONSTRUCTION SINCE THE BALLOON TIRE I mk SHOCK ABSORBERS Every Gulla Pcrclia and HoadcraflTircis built of the Iiiglicft-quality cotton cords, every strand iniireg. nated with and protected liy rubber.

Nine weeks after the battle opened the French had lost 6,563 officers and 270,000 other ranks; the German losses were nearly equal. In the 140days of the Verdun man slaughter, it has been computed that more than 1,000,000 men were killed or wounded, and that the Germans discharged 21,700,000 shells of all calibres Into the area.
