ihat the British troops' have recap

tHe Gcrmnns near Yprcs and Langc
marck on Monday last, was made In
ah official statement Issued by the
German War ORlcc this afternoon. It
Was also admitted thnt the French
were successful in an attack at Call
rctto wood At Le Mort Homme,
however, a French attack was re
pulsed by the Germans, who inflicted
heavy losses on their adversaries, the
report stated.
PATUS. April 22.
Using liquid (lro the Germans lost nlRht
hut-lei) heavy forces against tho French
front northwest or Verdun. They succeed-
ed In occupylnB trenches on tho slopes of
Le Mort Homrrie (Dead Man's Hill), but
were completely thrown out by the French
counter-attack, tho War Odleo announced
today.
The flame projectors were brought Into
play In tho attack against tho French
front north of Caurette wood. Tho Ger
mans wero completely repulsed.
Violent fighting also developed on tho
West bank of tho Mouse, north and north
east of Verdun, whero tho Germans at
tempted preparations for another nBsault
on Fort Vaux. Following an Intenso bom
bardment of the whole front, from tho
Meuse enstward to Fort Vaux, tho Ger
mans attempted to occupy tho trenches
before the fort prior to an nssdult on tho
fort Itself, which occupies a position on
a, stony height with precipitous sides.
A. violent Are from French guns sta
tlahed In Fort Vnux, and from connect
ing works, prevented tho Germans from
emorglng from their tronches. The artil
lery fire was unusually effective, tho Ger
mans losing heavily.
Tho fact that there Is no shortage In
French artillery, desplto tho largo num
ber of guns massed at Verdun, was dem
onstrated by today's otTIcInl communique.
Tho War Ofllco reported that French artil
lery had co-operated with tho British In
the recent fighting on the British front
nearTpres and Pllllcken.
The text of the official communique fol
lows: In Belgium our artillery conducted
an energetic bombardment In the sec
tor east of the Ypres-PIlkcn road dur
ing an action at this point which was
brought on by British troops.
West of the Mouse, after a violent
artillery preparation, tho enemy at
tacked during tho night our positions
on the north slope of Le Morto
Homme. Tho Germans, who had suc
ceeded In gaining a foothold In our
flret line, wero driven out shortly aft
erward by our counter-attack, which
made us masters of all tho ground
previously taken by uh. Another at
tack. In which liquid ftro was Used,
was launched against our trenches
north of Caurettes Wood.
East of the Meuso last evening, fol
lowing' a violent bombardmont of our
lines from the Meuse as far as Fort
Vaux, the Germans concentrated- in
their trenches before the front be
tween the pond and the fort of Vaux.
f- An lmmedlato counter-preparation
with our artillery upset their prepa
rations, and Inflicted heavy losses on
thd enemy.
la Le Pretro forest there (were some
engagements between patrpl forces.
The night was quiet on the rest of
the front
Taris military experts, '.analyzing the
Verdun situation today, said that the
French had regained the Initiative on the
Muse, but declared that the French at
tacks of this week represented no gen
eral counter-offensive being rather de
signed to discourage further Teuton on
slaughts. The French defensive positions are
vastly stronger now than nt any time
since the Crown Prince began his at
tacks on February 21, particularly with
regard to heavy artillery.

BERNOTfflFS PICK
OF IGEL DOCMIENTS
KEENLY AWAITED
State Department Will Retain
Copies of Documents, Even
If Originals Are
Returned
U. S. MAY APOLOGIZE
WASHINGTON. April 22.
Tho German. documents Rclzcd by Fed
oral officer In tho Now York office of
Wolf von Igel are In Washington for tho
disposal of tho State Department.
Tho last of three heavy fllo cabinets
containing the pnpers arrived at the Jus
tlco Department today. They nro being
Inspected by Assistant Attornoy General
Warren, who has charge of tho lease.
No photographic copies nro among tho
pnpers. Theso aro Btlll held by United
States District Attorney Mnrshnll nt New
York, who Is understood to have refused
to glvo them up unless ho gets a specific
order demanding tho return of nil evi
dence. No such order has been Issued.
Ambassador on Bcrn9torff Is In New
York. Tho process of separating from tho
papers thoso belonging to the nmbassy and
those having no Embassy character ap
parently Is delayed until tho first of tho
week, when the Ambassador la expected
back.
Officials hero make little secret of their
keen Interest In tho solectloni tho Am
bassador will make. Some express con
fidence that no matter whether ho claims
them nil as Embassy property or carefully
eliminates r thoso that would Indicate
knouledgo by tho Kmbassy of unneutral
activities by German agents the Govern
ment will bo left In possession of tho most
Important Information that has devclopod
since Investigation of alleged Teutonic con
spiracies began.
Von Bcrnstorft's protests notwithstand
ing. It Is pretty definitely assured tho Stato
Department will retain photographic copies
of the papers. In other words, If tho evi
dence Is Important to tho success of tho
Government's effort to squelch alleged
plots In this country, diplomatic niceties
will not bo allowed to provent Its use.
Formal npoloity for tho scliuro of proper
embassy docu.-nents may bo made, It Is
said, but their aluo to the Justlco De
partment and the Stato Department will
not bo overlooked.
Tho German Kmbassy expects today or
tomorrow to rccelvo Instructions from
the Berlin Forolgn Ofllce regarding addi
tional representations to be mado to tho
State Department over tho arrest of von
Igel and the selzuro of his pnpers.
It was Intimated again at tho embassy
today that these nets aro of Buch a se
rious nnturo ns to perhaps warrant tho
German Government In rccnlllng Bern
storff. Tho least that will bo asked, It
Is said, will be n formal apology from
the Stato Department.
"WELLAND CANAL PROGRESS."
Among the documents which It Is under
stood nro to bo shown by tho Stnto De
partment to tho German Ambassador and
tho lnwyers of tho Embassy Is a largo en
velope which has a significant bit nf writ
ing on tho back. That bit of writing Is
under tho subhend:
"Wclland Canal progress."
Count von Bernstorft's attitude. It Is
understood. Is In opposition to making
any concessions to the Stnto Department.
Ho Is credited with taking tho position
thnt this Government has no right to seize
nny papers belonging to an atacho of his
establishment and thnt they must bo re
turned to him without nny condition.
It Is the German view that the Am
bassador Is not required to pass upon
tho status of each Individual document or
of the documents as a whole. Tho mere
fact that they wero In the possession of
a diplomatic attache Is sufficient ns tho
matter la regarded In German circles, to
gva thorn immunity from seizure, and
that It Is a restriction of diplomatic
privilege to call on the Ambassador to
sny which aro and which aro not official.
Even private papers of a diplomatic
officer. It Is contended, cannot bo taken
by officers of the law.
NEW YORK, April 22. A now nngle
was observed In tho fight which the Gor
man Embassy Is making to have the docu
ments taken In tho possession of Wolf von
Igel. arrested last Tuesday, returned to Its
custody when Count von Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador, arrived yesterday
from Washington. The Ambassador, ac
companied by his personal secretary, Doc
tor Edlcr, went at onco to the Rltz-Carl-ton,
where It was Bald, he would remain
over Easter.

Allies May Set Armies in
Motion on West Front
May 1
AWAIT VERDUN RECOIL
PAIUS, April 22. Tho Allies' hour q
at hand. Alt the nnxlcty and pessimism
of tho la3t fow months has been swept
away by tho Itusslan landing nt Mar
seilles. Tho dato of tho Allied grand of
fensive, wh'lch the arrival of tho Ciar's
troops Is universally taken to foreshadow,
la now tho sole and absorbing topic
Stay 1 has generally been assumed ns
the time when tho Allien would set their
armies In motion. As far as preparations
go, all Is nearly ready. It Is no secret
that tho British troops In Franco have
been engor to begin for weeks. In March
General llnlg offered to aid at Verdun,
but Joffro declined, preferring that the
Allies conserve their efforts until tho
"nibbling" process of tho Meuso was
completed.
With May only nine days away, It
now appears that tho grand assault will
bo still further postponed. Although tho
French rccoorod ground nt Verdun yes
terday, It was only a tactical movo and
Is not likely to be followed, for tho pres
ent nt least, by an offcnslvo on n. largo
scale.
It Is by no means sure that tho Ger
mans nro yet ready to announce their
great Verdun effort n failure They may
still continue to throw their masses
against tho battered ridges on the Meuse.
As long ns they do General Joffro will
wnlt, content to oxnet his price for his
time. Tho Germans can elect the Allied
counter offensive for nny hour they
choose.
Meanwhile, tho Ilusslann will continue
to land and tho French and British to
heap up ammunition supplies for guns
that aro hungry to begin.
