THE LULL AT VERDUN.
FRENCH PREPARING FOR A NEW ATTACK.
\ GERMAN BLUFF FAILS TO DECEIVE THEM.
LONDON, March 15. This is the fourth day of a lull at Verdun. The latest German communiques do not even mention this section of the battle front. Nevertheless the French staff is undeceived, and is expecting a renewed attack and preparing for it. The German headquarters staff appears to be abrorbed in the doings of the two Fokkcr polits, lmmermann and Boelkc, who brought down four more allied aeroplanes, making their respective scores ten and eleven. A Faris communique states that three German aeroplanes were brought down in the German lines in the Verdun region, and another in the Cernay district.
