FIGHTING CONTINUES NO DECISIVE RESULTS
Paris reports the German Crown Prince halted at Montfaucon and his army began retreating from Verdun after a costly Aisne battle. The Aisne line now spans Montfaucon to Noyon, with signs of German resistance easing and British and French reports noting heavy artillery duels and limited gains for the Allies. Belgian observers report three German corps in Belgium and Liege residents warned to evacuate as German moves loom. Berlin concedes Russian retreat under Hindenburg in Prussia after a bold outflanking maneuver.
