FRENCH TROOPS
AGAIN HOLD FOE
FROM HILL 304
German Attack on Position
Northwest of Verdun
: ,.- Repulsed
j.n
HEW ASSAULT EXPECTED
rAlUS, April 14.
Illowlnff a vigorous bombardment of
th French position on Hill 304, northwest
ot "Verdun, In -which gas shells were used,
the Germans ngftln attacked last night,
l)iit were repulsed.
The, French Wnr Ofllce. In nn onlclat
eatnmuntque, announced the breakdown of
tlis German attack at Hill 304 and an
flounced also that the Germans have been
shelling the French positions east of the
Metiee.
A heavy cannonade has been directed
against the French positions on the Vaux
HMidromont front, and also south of Dou
ftumont.
Hundreds of German guns were con
centrated against a comparatively short
front, pouring an unending storm of shells
Into tho French positions.
The text of the official communique fol
lows! On the left bank of the Meuso a vio
lent bombardment was directed dur
ing the night against our first lines
West of Hill No. 304.
On tho right bariTftho Germans yes
terday evening launched a. small at- ,
tack upon our positions south of Dou
aumont which wns completely, re
pulsed. Tho night was comparatively
calm except for a rother active bom- -bardment
of the region south of ilau
dromont Tn tho Woevre region there was an
Artillery duel In tho sector of JIoul
nlnvllle. .
There were no Important develop
ments on the rest of the 'front.
After an unprecedented struggle of 52
days the first battle of Verdun may be con
sidered ended, tn tho opinion of ,the
French military critics.
The latest Important assaults by the
Germans wero made on Wednesday, al
though tho French communique mentions
an attack last night In tho region of Hill
04.
The Germans attribute tho let-up In In
fantry fighting to the weather, saying the
atmosphere has been so foggy that ob
servation was Impossible,
French omccrs. However, declare mat
tho force of the German onslaughts natur
ally died out and that tho foggy condition
of the weather had nothing to do with the
cessation of general activity.
It Is a certainty that nnother great bat
tle will quickly develop nt Verdun. Heavy
artillery Is active both northwest and
northeast of the fortress. This cannonade
has been particularly intense pgalnst tho
French positions on l-o Mort Hoinmu
v.(Dead Man's Hill). Hill 301, which ad,
jblns Dead Man's Hill, and on the Vnux--Douaumont
front.
Tho Germans fired a great many shells
containing gase3, nnd these fumes, mingl
ing with the murky atmosphere, formed
yellow fog which hung URo a curtain
above the lines.
The Petit Parislen Is authority for the
statement that seven new German dlvlsldn's
arrived at the Verdun front last Sunday'
Five of these divisions (.100,000 men) wero
immediately thrown into the fray, while
the other two wore used later, but the net
result of all these efforts was tho capture
pf 500 yards of trenches on the north
elope, of Dead Man's Hill, at n cost bf 30,
000 men.
The Echo De Paris says that German
troops which wero formerly facing- "the
British have been sont,tp Verdun.
"It Is certain," says this paper, "that the
Germans are now weakening other parts
of their line to strengthen their front at
Verdun."
The Kaiser, In addressing the Branden.
burgers. Is quoted as saying that the
treaty of peace In this war will be signed
In Verdun. ,

SHARP MEXICAN POLICY
FAVORED BY CONGRESS
Continued from race One
readjusted for the. balance of hu
manity? It Is now considered certain that not
only will the troops not be- withdrawn
from Mexico, but that additional soldier's
will be rushed forward to protect all lines
of communication. This wilt be done, of
ficials say, regardless of what Carranza
may think or say.
WILIi SEND MORE TROOPS.
Orders sendins ,the 2d Cavalry , from
Fort Myer, Vo., and.J'ort Kthan. Allen,.
Vl, the 21st Infantry, frqra Vancouver
baraeks. and Self Diego; the 30th Infantry,
from Plattsburg, and .all other available
units, to the border are to be Issued.
In addition, ofllcl$s say, if the general
situation does not immediately improve,
the 13,500 coast artillerymen who have
been organized as Infantry and selected
units of the National Guard will be called
on for service on the border.
Officialdom was exceedingly bitter
against Carranza, and the prediction was
made that unless he modifies his attitude
this Government will break with him and
will pacify Mexico at any cost. Veteran
army officers declare that this would be
an easy task, It already having been con
clusively demonstrated tl)at the Mexican
eoldlers, despite their war experience,,
cannot shoot.

To the Importunities of these two lesul
prs, both nmbltlous, Ih attributed the de
facto gotcrnment's demand for tho with
drawal of American troops from Mexico.
Observers on the border assert that with
Carranza nwny nnd Ohregon nnd Agullar
directing Mexican affairs the situation
will not brook of long diplomatic nego
tiations. REPORT OF TROYA FIGHT.
Reports as to the battle at Pnrral, which
began when "snipers" opened tire upon
American soldiers, wlio wero ooeying me
request of Mayor Jose De l.a Uuz Her
rera to leao the town, wero still con
tllctlnc today. Most of them were to the
effect that ono American soldier had been
killed and 20 wounded and many Mexicans
killed One rumor had It that 1.10 .Mexi
cans had been killed, but this Is bel!oed
to be an exaggeration.
Closely following the news of the Pniral
battle came rumors that an American
force had clashed with a body of Mexican
troops near the town of Troya on the I all
way between Jiniinez and I'arral. This
rumor said that the Mexicans weie mostly
Carranzlstqs and tjiat the Troya clash
preceded the light nt P.irral, the Mexican's
hurolng on to that town and Inciting the
populace, to attack the Americans.
THREAT OF WAR.
"Can war bo averted.?" Is tho chief
question asked on the border. It has re
placed the weeks-old query of "How long
will It take to capture Villa?" The fact
that the American-troops responded with
out hesitation to tho fire directed upon
them nt Parral shows that a "shoot-flrst-andtthen-ask-qucstlonH"
attitude has been
adopted by" the expeditionary force. This
Bpirlt may nt any moment set diplomatic
quibbling at naught nnd bring wnr with
a rush, according to border observers.
Mayor Herrern. of Parral. Is the father
of General I.uls Herrera. the Carranza
officer who disappeared with 1200 men
from Chihuahua and then turned up at
General Pershing's headquarters, where
he pledged his aid to" the American expedi
tion. This nld did not result In the
capture of Villa.
The War Today
Another German nttnek ngninst
Hill .104, northeast of Verdun, has
been repulsed by the French, Paris
asserts, A Teuton assault on
French positions south of Douau
mont, northeast of Verdun, also
fniled.
A heavy bombardment continued
throughout Inst night south of
Haudromont, on the east bank of
the Mouse River, and in the region
south of Moulainville.
A general lull marks the bnttlc
of Verdun after G2 days of fight
ing. French critics believe, how
ever, that the Germans are pre
paring for another great drive
against the stronghold

Austrians and Itnlians nnd light

Trebizond Stronghold May

tion Falls to the Russians
PETROORAD, April H. By a series
of vigorous counter-attacks Ihe Turks In
Armenia are straining to the utmost to
defend the Important city of Bnlburt, nt
the chief Junction of the roads between
Erzerum nnd TrebUond.
Since, besides the good ronds to Slvns
and Mnmakhatun, there nre several tratM
front Balburt through the Pontus range
to the Black Sea coast, the occupation of
Balburt would greatly facilitate the opera
tions of the Russian armies and would es
tablish close connection between the
armies moving along the coast to Trebi
zond and the central Russian army aiming
nt Krzlngan.
The new line of attack on Trebizond,
which the occupation of this Junction
would offer, would cause the Immediate
retirement of the Turkish forces defend
ing the approaches to Trebizond and lead
to the capitulation of Turkey's most Im
portant Black Sea port.
Balburt Itself Is an Important pro
visioning centre and formerly served the
Turkish forces at Krzerum ns a base for
ammunition.

troops are steadily advancing southwest

have been less successful than elsewhere
