French trenches, on both aides of the
Meuse River, In the yordun,,sector, were
capturetrbylh'erGermans In another series
of great Infantry assaults last night..
The Germans have penetrated tho village
f 'Cumleres, on thb. left' bank of the river.
Hundreds of big suns hurled tons of steel
aialnst tho French positions beforo tlie
German Infantry were sent forward.
The bombardment of Ee Mort Homme
(Dead Jinn's Hill) was 'particularly violent.
The Germans extended tholr attacking
operations northwest of Verdun, assaulting
the French positions, cast .of Dead Man's
Hill. These onsets 'carried the Crown
Prince's soldiers into vtho village of Cu
mleres, on tho left bank of the Meuse, and
also "put the Germans In possession of a
trench.
However, they paid i dearly for these
fains. The official communique stated that
the' German losses were enormous.
To the east of the Meuso the Germans
drove vigorously against the French posi
tions at Haudromont forest and at Douau
mont, sustaining heavy sacrifices of life.
West of Douaumont a few French
trenches were stormed, - but all attacks
against that section of Fort Douoamont
held by the French were repulsed.
These counter-aUacks were made with
heavy forces of troops and with utter dis
regard of life.
In the Intervals of Infantry, actions the
big guns on both sides were flnmlng
throughout the night, their thunder rever
berating up and down tho Meuse valley.
For 72 hours, by day and by night, the
Germans have been hurling huge forces
against the French' positions. However,
the French forces of1 General Nlvelle stood
like a stone wall, meeting shock upon shock
with the most conspicuous bravery.
Dawn found the great battle of Verdun
till raging with the utmost Intensity..
Xhe text of the official communique fol
lows: In Champagne, with the help of an
outburst of gas, the Germans attempted
to reach our lines In the region west
ofjfavarln farms. Our curtain of Ore
threw the enemy back Into his own
trenches. ,
Qu the left bank of the Meuse the
Germans launched a powerful offensive
action during .the' night east of Le
Mort Hom'meA- After a hand-to-hand
battle the 'enemy penetrated, at the
cost of heavy) losses, the village of
Cumleres 'and one- jo( our trenches Im
mediately to the west. New reinforce
ments having arrived. ' Jt Is, apparent
that the effective farces employed by
the enemy In the -region of Le Mort'
Homme since May 21 number 'more
than three divisions (60,000 men).
On the right bank artillery, prepara
tion and infantry attacks followed each
other with equal violence In -the region
of Haudromont and Douaumont, De
plte the fury of his attack the enemy,
who had rt regard for'human life, .
succeeded In gaining a foothold only In
some trench elements east of the fort
(Douaumont). All his efforts against
our positions' to tho.rv.cat and nc-Hlnst
the fort IJselt were, shattered by our
VIENNA, May 24.
Italian reinforcements have failed to
stein tho ndvanco of the Austro-Hungarlan
troops In southern Tyrol. In spite of the
terrific obstacles afforded by tho mountnins,
big guns are being rolled forward behind
tho armies nnd n continuous bombardment
Is being kept up by the Teuton 'roops,
which Is particularly severe between the
Adlgc nnd Plave Rivers.
Fortifications defending tho Italian town,
of Asiago are being battered to pieces under
tho shelling of the big guns.
(Asiago Is flanked by the Astico and
Brenta Vnlleys. It Is eight miles from tho
border nnd has been used by tho Italians
ns a base nnd conccrtratlon point.
Italian prisoners state that King Victor
Emmanuel went to tho Italian front In
hope that his presence would inspire the
troops to extremo efforts In tho attempt to
check the Austrian advance.
So fnr nil the fighting has been In moun
tain districts, which gives the defenders the
ndvnntage. The Austrlans, despite their
gnlns have from six to nine miles to go In
the Astico sector beforo thev rench the

ROME, May 24. Austro-Hungarlan
troops, in their offensive against the Italians
between Lake flnrda and the Lavarono
plateau, are using 42-centimotro guns, tho
most powerful nrtlllery known.
The granlte-wnllcd mountain barriers ot
tho Italians are crumbling under the pound

of the Italian troops remains unbroken.
Having advanced to Italian territory at
some points east of the Adlge Valley, tho
Austro-Hungarlans ha,ve now massed strong
forces In the sector of Rlva at tho upper
end of Lake Gnrda, nnd military critics
now look for n series of assaults against
the Italian front In that region.
In tho sector of the Sugana Valley tho
heavy aftlllery Are or the Austrlans com
pelled a withdrawal of the advanced lines
of the Italians, but tho retirement wns car
ried out In good order.
Tho Austrlans have massed nn enormous
amount of artillery along the right wing of
their front. Between tho Adamcllo sector
and Borgo, they are believed to have 4000
guns of various calibre. Tholr ammunition
supply seems Inexhaustible, Judging by the
heavy waste of shells.

WASHINGTON, May 24 "Hughes on
tho second ballot t" .
That wns tho word passed through Re
publican political circles In Congress todny
by tho followers of the Associate Justice,
who believe that ho will carry oft the
presidential plum of tho Republican National
Convention. t
Tho basis for tho report was nn .analysis
of the status of the convention delegates,
made by a close friend of Colonel Roosevelt,
who talked with him yesterday, which con
ceded that Justice Hughes would have fully
277 votes on tho Initial ballot nt Chicago,
and privately nnd confidentially circulated.
Accepting these figures ns authentic and
many Republican Senators and Representa
tives admitted that they believed them ac-'
curate, although naturally they would not
say so for publication It was conceded
that there would bd a lnndslldo to Hughe:)
so soon as tho result of the first ballot was
announced.
Ncw England likely will have a solid
ballot for the Justice on tho second bal
lot. Serious efforts which have been mnd
for a wlthdrawol of the candidacy of Sen
ator Weeks in that section, aro bearing
fruit, although It Is likely that on tho (tat
ballot' the strength of tho Weeks move,
meat, product of weeks of agitation, must
be recorded. Likewise It .npw.njems prob
able that Pennsylvanla"vbte -wjii""ue, re
corded almost solidly for Justice HughoH
on tho first ballot and thatiliere will be de
sertions front other favored sons so soon as
the delegates have n'n opportunity to confer
at Chicago.
Just how serious the "ground drift" of
tho instructed delegates toward Justice
Hughes really Is was shown by the fact
that for the first time today. Senators and
Representatives from States that havo can
didates were willing to discuss second
placo on the ticket. While In every In?
stance It was made emphatically plain that
tho discussion was "contingent," yet there
were few boom managers or lieutenants on
tho ground who were not willing to explain
how, if the political exigencies warranted,
their man would V the best selection to
name In second place should tho line-up
show that Now York's former Governor
was certain to annex all of the chief
honors. -

LONDON. May 21,
The Exchange Telegraph stated this
afternoon that It has learned on good au
thority that Prince von Buelow. former
Chancellor of the German Empire, is to
become the German Ambassador at Wash
ington. A rearrangement of the German
diplomatic corps Is to be effected, the Ex
change Telegraph stated.
The statement of the English news agency
la thus far uncorroborated from any other
source, though It has been rumored several
times that Ambassador von Bernstorff
might be called home to an Important post.
Diplomats here said that If the report
Is true tho sending of von Buelow to Wash
Ington Is another Indication of Germany's
plans to move for an early peace. Von
Buelow's name has been frequently con
nected with peace moves, especially durlnff
his long stay recently In Switzerland.
Prince von Buelow was sent to Rme. aa
Ambassador and assigned the task of
preventing Italy from oinlttg the AJUesr
When Italy declared war on Austria a year
ago he was recalled to Berlin, but shortly
afterward weot to Switierland, where- be
spent Beveral months.
Swiss reports said that von Buelow. at
the Kaiser's request, had purposely hel4
aloof from active participation In Govern
mental affairs In order that he might bet
ter serve CJermany In peace negotiations. A.
man of great personal charm, he has, a,
ways been considered one of the best diplo
mats In Europe. So far as l known.
Prince von buelow lias made but one ad
dress on the subject of peace since the- war
began. Speaking at Hamburg more than
a, year ago, he declared that Qerraany
would make a conqueror's peace.
