Thoro aro discrepancies between the
iTrench and German reports on the
Verdun fighting today.
According to Berlin, French nttempts
to recapture positions taken by the Ger
mans south and southwest of Dotinu
niont woro repulsed. The report also
states that In the Caillette wood, be
tween Douaumont and Vaux, Uio
French woro thrown back In nn unsuc
cessful attack, tho Germans taking 764
prisoners and eight machlno guns.
Berlin admits, however, tho loss of
a mine crater at St. Elol to tho Eng
lish, following lively artillery fire.
Paris claims the recapture of part
of tho vlllngo o'f Vaux and tho greater
part of tho Caillette ivdod. A ftcrco
artlllory flro Is being directed by tho
French on tho Vaux-Douautnont line,
preparatory to c. great assault.
Tho French havo abandoned tho vil
lage of Bethlncourt, northwest of Ver
dun. Tho Germnns now command tho
Malancourt-Bethlncourt highway, which
opens tho way clear for an attack on
Hill 304, 5VS miles northwest of Vor
dun. Tho Germans havo brought Forts
Marro, Bourrus and Cholsel, northwest
of Vordun, under tho flro of their guns.
BERLIN, April 4.
After a severe battle, tho English havo
succeeded In capturing a mlno crater
south of St Elol, which the Germans had
previously occupied, It was announced to
day by tho War Office.
St. Elol Is southeast of Ypres In West
Flanders.
Southwest and south of Fort Douau
mont, on tho Verdun front, tho Gcunnns
captured strong French defensive works.
French countcr-nttacks In tho region of
Fort Douaumont were repulsed. Following
Is the text of tho official report:
After lively artillery lire the Eng
lish recaptured tho mlno crater south
of St. Elol.
In tho region of Fort Douaumont,
on April 2, we captured strong French
defensive positions, which llo south
and southwest of tho fort and also In
Calllcfto Wood.
Fronch counter attacks were re
pulsed. The French repeatedly delivered
storm attacks against the positions
they had. lost In Calllotto forest, but
all were fruitless. These nttacks cost
tho French heavy sacrifices.
During the nttacks on April 2 we
captured 19 officers and 745 men as
well as eight machlno guns and other
booty.
PARIS, April 4
In preparation for further counter-attacks
on the northeast front of Verdun.
French artillery literally drenched the re
gion of Douaumont and Vaux with shells
throughout the nlgnt.
Tho official communique Issued by the
War Olllco today states that the German
guns made only a feeble reply to th ter
rific Are. There was no Infantry attacK
this region.
'On the west bank of the Mouse both tho
reach and Germans engaged In a stiff
urtlllery duel.
The text of the communique follows:
In tho Argonno we shelled German
organizations, particularly in the re
gion of Montfaucon and Mulancourt.
West of the Meuse there was a very
violent artillery duel from Avocourt
to Mulancourt.
East of the Meuse tho night was
comparatively quiet. The Germans did
not ,mako a single attack on the Dou-aumont-Vaux
front. Re-established
by our counter-attacks of yesterday,
our batteries displayed particular ac
tivity against the enemy's positions
In that region. The enemy replied
only feebly.
East of Lo Pretre forest a strong
reconnolssance force of the enemy was
dispersed by qur rifle Are.
In Alsace our batteries took under
their fire supply convoys on the
Thann-Mulhausen road.
Although the French have retired half
a mile on the west bank of the Meuse, vol
untarily giving the Germans a foothold
In the shell-shattered village of Uethln
court, they have regained part of the
ground lost to .the Teutons east or tne
Meuse.
The German positions In Vaux and the
Jllette wood, between four and live miles
ibrtheast of Verdun, are now seriously
iienaced. The French have reoccupled tne
rest part of the village of Vaux and have
ashed the Germans out or tne greater
irt of the Caillette wood.
I Late dispatches from the front speak
If heavy fighting both northeast and
Iiorthwest of Verdun. On the, left bank
tot the river, the Germans now command
the Malancourt - Uethlncourt highway,
which opens the gate for an attack upon
the strong French positions on Hill 304,
This hill lies southeast of Haucourt and
southwest of La Mort Homme (Dead Man's
HilU and is about five and one-half miles
northwest of Verdun. ,It Is regarded as
one of the key positions of the French.
Thn biff guns of the Germans have now
brought three of the forts northwest of
Verdun under their fire. They are Fort
Marre, Fort Bourrus and Fort Cholsel.
However Intense the Germans' bombard,
ment comes they cannot launch Infantry
attacks against those works because of
the French defenses lying in front of
them.
The Germans are striving ha'rder than
at any previous time for a victory at

Reply Does Not Meet Contentions.
Lansing Studying Text
WASHINGTON, April I. Tho United
States will not ncccpt without further
strong protest tho clnlm of tho I'ntento
Allies that they havo the right to continue
mall seizures. The reply filed with tho
Stato Department, offlclnls say. does not
meet tho contentions of tho United States.
It ignores nlmost entirely the claim of tho
United States that mall on neutral ships
has been taken off and detained without
wnrrnnt, despite the provision of tho In
ternational law that permits tho freo pas
sage of all ilrst class mails.
Secretnry Lansing Enid today that ho
had not yet fully studied the Allied reply
and that for the present ho did not care
to say what further steps will bo taken to
safeguard American rights, it Is under
stood, however, that another protest flatly
disagreeing with the position of tho Allies
will bo prepared shortly.

cisco, her home port, when a British war
ship stopped her and seized ns prisoners
of war 38 German civilians on board.
