WAR. AN ETR-OPENER,
The German Chancellor exoressed Grati
fication over the happy ending of the crisis,
win tho united states over ui submarine
question, nnd the hope that difficulties be
tween tho two nations had ended.
It was only after prefacing this state,
rrtcnt with the reservation that a press
polemic between himself and the statesmen
of the 'Entente nations were vain In serlng
a useful purpose that Dr. rod Bothmanh
Hollweg made his detailed statement of
Germany's- position In tho world today.
General press polemics nnd public Utter
ances would tend only to Intensify the
hatred now existing, he pointed out, and
would thus defeat the wish for peace and
for limitation of nrmamont and settlement
of disputes by arbitration, expressed by the
British Foreign Secretary.
But, once ho had mads up his mind to re
ply to Sir Edward, tho Herman Cbanceltor
took up the war In detail, Its part, Its pres
ent and Its future.
Dr. von Bcthmann-Hollweg cxprcswd as
tonishment that the Allies stilt clung to tho
hoDi'.of Internal dissensions In Germany.
Ho realized that Ignoranco about German
conditions prevailed In foreign capitals be
fore the war, but lie thought that the or
deal of tho war through which Germany
was passing had "opened the eyes" of tho
world to the fact of Germany solidarity and
unity.
Refuting the British cry of German mil
itarism, the Chnncollor pointed an nccuslng
finger at England's "militarism," to her
record of the last 20 years In Egypt,
Fashoda, South Africa, Algeclras. Ger
many, not England, caused a peaceful solu
tion of the Bosnia crisis, he asserted, nt a
time when England would havo thrown
herself Into war on tho side of Ruisla.
Analyzing step by step tho causos of tho
war, Dr. von Bcthmann-IIollweg dwelt upon
the "enkrelsungspolltlk" or Isolation policy
of England against tho growing German
nation the creation of tho Trlplo Entcnto
by King Edward VII. Nothing but tho Im
minent danger of war lurked In this policy,
which stands as a refutation of Sir Ed
ward's denial that England over had any
evil Intentions toward Germany or had
formed a coalition against her, ho said.
Tho Gorman Chancellor aillrmcd that ho
had dono what was possible to avert tho
danger of the developments by proposing
a neutrality agreement to Lord Hnldane,
which England rejected. Tho exact text
of tho proposed formula ho had mado nub
ile August 19, I91C, ho said, tho last for
mula reading "England will maintain a
friendly neutrality should a war bo forced
upon Gormany." Tho words "forced upon"
were emphasized by Ilerr von Bathmann
Ilollweg.
AUSTRIAN GAIN IN SOUTH TYROL
WAR HAP ONLY PEACE BASIS
GERMAN STAND; CHANCELLOR
ANSWERS GREY WITH "FACTS"
w BEItUN, May 23. The war will not end
sntil tho statesmen of tho belligerent na
tions, with honest and sincere will, are
ready to discuss war and peace problems In
a rational manner and what the war map
now shows In the position of the respective
armies, declared Doctor ion Bethmann
"Hollweg. Imperial German Chancellor, In
a statement that has given fresh momentum
to peace talk In the capital.
In tho statement, which was in reply to
Sir Edward Grev- British Forolen Secretary.
the German Chancellor reiterated his as
acxiioa urai ijermany was prcpareu to
discuss the ending of the war on a basis
afcjKQUia offer guaranty against further
onslaughts by her allied enemies and that
would Insure peace in Europe.
Coupled with tho peaco overtures, tho
German. Chancellor repeated his bold decla
ration that Germany could not bo crushed,
and that England now realized it, as shown
by Sir Edward's recent statement.
Dr. von Bcthmann-Holhveg'a statement
was tho flrst expression of tho German
Government's view of the speech of Presi
dent Polncare of France, who said that
Trance and England would "dictate peace
to Germany."
IJke Sir Edward, the German Chan
cellor said he wished permanent peace, and
asserted that he repeatedly had made plain
Ills desires in this direction. But, Doctor
Ton Bethmann-Hollweg stated with em
yhAsIs, tho peace desired by all peoples
would remain as unattainable as ever as
long as tho responsible statesmen of the
Allies indulge In and confine themselves to
denunciation1 of Prussian militarism, as
well as to declaration of lha superiority
and perfection of their own nations. These
tactics ho said, were typified In Sir Ed
ward's recent Interview, In which he ex
pressed a deslro on. the part of England
to better Germany's internal political situ
ation an Ironic desire. In view of condi
tions In Ireland.
After"22 months of devastating war and
sacrifices of millions of men and billions
of dollars, he declared. It Is beginning to
dawn upon Great Britain that Germany
cannot be crushed and destroyed. He point
ed, as proof, to Sir Edward's assertion that
England never did intend to crush atV, do
'troy tho German nation, in the faoe of
prior statements of British statesmen and
the British press, and of President Poln
care's recent address to the French people.
England, the Chancellor said, has begun
in realize the terrible cost of the war to
Europe and to the world. Responsibility

The heavily shaded portion represents the territory gained by tho

bo nblo to dominato the Venetian region.
a situation which must sooner or later be
correctod If Mexico Is to stand among tho
nations.
The report pictured starvation. It de
clared flatly that cconomlo conditions "aro
cry much worso"; thnt the Carrans.i flat
money Is shaky nnd thnt the railroad strlko
affecting a largo part of Mexican transpor
tation Is presenting a grne problem from a
communication standpoint.
NOTE FltOM CARRANZA.
It Is snld In Administration circles that a
now noto from General Carranza Is on tho
way here, dealing with tho expeditionary
forces. A message from Consul Itodgcrs Is
said to hao warned officials that tho new
note would not be of the moat friendly char
acter. However, It Is indicated clearly hero
that tho American policy tounrd Mexico
will not bo changed, at least It will not be
"softened."
A firmer hand by tho American Govern
ment than heictoforo, solely for correctUo
purposes, was what some Administration
men thought would bo the outcome. Cer
tain olllclals declared either this or cctonslvo
American financial aid was essential, but
officials all along havo scoffed at suggestion
that Carranza would accept American help.
Mo would regard It ns charity or benovo
lonce, they say, and for this reason would
reject it, if. Indeed, tho Administration seri
ously thought of extending It.
LETCHER TO REPORT.
Added to tho gloomy consular messngo
was an expected personal report from Con
sul Lotcher, of Chihuahua City, duo hero
from the border. Men In touch with his
past confidential messages said his version
of the situation would not be optimistic
From a military standpoint, tho situation
thus far Is satisfactory. Tho second ex
pedition Is now out of Mexico. These forces
will nugment the Dig Bond patrol As far
as reports go thero Is no present danger
to tho forces within Mexico and strength
ening of the patrol will probably guard
adequately against fresh raids.

FRENCH RECAPTURE GREATER
PART OP DOUAUMONT FORT
Continued from re One
continued with great blttem,eRS. Tho
enemy, who had during the night In
creased hid attacks In mass formation
nml suffered enormous losses succeeded
In reocupylng one of the trenches taken
by us north of Thlaumont farm. Kvery
where else 'ne maintained our positions.
Without Fort Douaumont we have
continued to roll back the enemy, who,
despite sharp resistance, now holds only
the northeast corner of the fort.
On the helghtH of the Meuse n sur
prise nttack executed by us In the Uols
lcs Chet alters gave successful re
sults. The night was comparatively calm
on the rest of the front.
Tho recanture of the Kreater nnrt nf Vnrt
Douaumont nas a tactical masterpiece.
Taking advantage of tho fact that the
Crown , Prince was concentrating all his
efforts west of tho. Meuse, General Neillo
gathered a strong mass of artillery and
began dropping tons of oxploslves around
nouaumont tillage and fort on Sunday.
When the bombardment ceased at sundown
Monday, tho French regiments dashed for
ward with magnificent courage, singing tho
Marseillaise. In ono sweep they carlred all
before them. In somo places, particularly
on tho Froldo Terra road, the Germans re
sisted stubbornly, and bayonet and grenade
fighting raged furiously there and In Douau
mont. When tho advanco guard of tho
French readied the fort, all the Germans
who did not Immediately surrender wero
slain.
MERLIN. May 23.
German troops captured a French block
houso south of Camard forest, northwest
of Verdun, In tho very violent fighting
nround the fortress last night ,the War
Office anounced this afternoon.
Tho War Office reported that a furious
battle Is raging nround the ruins of Fort
Douaumont, but that tho position remains
In German hands.
The test of the official statement follows:
English plans to counter-attack
southwest of GIonchy wero observed.
Advances In tho Roullncourt district
were repulsed.
In the Meuse district, fighting wsb
especially lively becauso of tho enemy's
attempts to counter-attack. On tho west
bank of the river tho Germans took a
French blockhouse south of Camard
forest. Hostllo attacks east of Illlt
304 nnd on tho south slopo of Dead
Man's Illlt, wero repulsed.
East of the Meuso violent Infantry
engagements occurred on the' front
south of Thlnumont farm as far as Call
letto forest. Tho French after a
strong fire entered the first German po
sition, but were repulsed on tho flanks
of the sector by German counter at
tacks. South of tho village and south of
the ruins of Fort Dounumont, an en
gagement Is In progress but has not
been finished. Fort Douaumont re
mained firmly Jn German hands (evl
dently meaning remained In German
hands when latest dispatches wero re
ceived). Korthwest of Fort Vaux a
pap temporarily occupied by tho enemy
was reconquered by us.
On the Combres heights (southeast
of Verdun) tho first and second French
lines were destroyed by our blasting
for a considerable width. On tho
Meuse heights, southeast of Verdun,
near Vnux-les-Pnlamex and Seucey,
enemy attacks broke dowti under our
curtain fire. Small detachments which
had entered our trenches wero anni
hilated. An enemy neroplane was shot
down southwest of Vallly.
The Overseas News Agency's corre
spondent at the Verdun front transmits the
following account of the latest French at
tack on tha.German position nt Hill 304:
'The French brought fresh troops to this
terrible sector, where already so mahy di
visions had been repulsed. We saw colored
troops mixed In a new division with whites
taken from elite regiments.
The storming French troops had to fol
low a steep nnd completely uncovered road,
so that the German batteries were enabled
Immediately to direct their fire "upon the
enemy. At tho same tlmo we maintained
a curtain of fire from Eshea to Hill 310
and beyond.
'Three nttacks wero brilliantly executed
by the French and methodically crushed by
tho German guns. During tho third attack
tho German artillery caused horrlblo de
struction. The storming detachments ran
back beyond Esnes. Thick masses of dead
wero visible In the onen nround hAfor inn
310.
"The tenacity with which the French
commander-in-chief repeated his nttacks
proves tho importance given to tho loss of
Hill 304 by tho French."
Note Tho French War Office has never
ndmltted the loss of Hill 304. In vlow of
continued references by both Paris nnd Ber
lin to fighting for positions at Hill 304.
the authenticity of tho correspondent's ref
erence to the loss of tho height by the
French may bo challenged.
