The battle around Verdun continues to rape with a | violence unexampled even in this re-J gion. The Germans are striving with | every resource in their power to cap- j ture Hill 304 and Dead Man Hill on 1 the left liank of the Meuse and to win ; back the famous Fort Douaumont on the right bank which was wrested I from them by General Nivelle's brilliantly planned and executed of fensive. Without full possession of the line | from Pepper Hill to Vaux Fort the Germans cannot hope to get any) nearer to the capture of Verdun. Even if they succeeded in taking this! line they could not hold it unless they were also in possession of Hill 304 and Head Man Hill, which outflank' the line. I'lots of land Come High Driven to desperation by seeing so | much of its work undone the German I command has hurled attack after at- j tack against Fort Douaumont. At the| same time it has kept up its onslaught on the left bank of the river to pre- j vent the French transferring any forces to the main scene of attack. All day yesterday the tide of war ebbed and flowed, iruehes of ground being won and lost at an appalling! cost in men. As one French officer said: "Plots of land come high here." I Again and again after reducing i trenches to a crumbling heap of ruins by a deluge of shells the German In fantry dashed forward only to be caught and swept away by a hurricane ■ of curtain tire from the French bat-| teries and machine guns. Know They Can't Crush Germany Says Von Hollweg Special to the Telegraph New York, May 24.—Karl H. von Wiegand, in a copyrighted cablegram j from Berlin published in the World, j says: "After 22 months of terrible war; after sacrifices of millions of men,! dead, wounded or disabled for life; 1 after forcing a heavy debt in blood I and treasure that places a mortgage | upon the brow and shoulders of the present and future generations, it is beginning to dawn upon England that the German people are not to be j crushed, that the German nation can- ] not be destroyed. "Having learned also the terrible ! cost to Europe and the world. Sir Ed-j ward Grey now declares that British I statesmen never did want to crush and 1 I destroy Germany, notwithstanding thei utterances of his confeeres in the Brit ish Cabinet and the English press to; the contrary and in the face of the in ducement held out to the French peo ple by President Poincare in his speech of p few days ago that if they only will endure to the end England and France will dictate peace to Ger many." Thus expressed himself. Doctor von Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial chancel lor of Germany, when he received me by request made for the purpose of asking the chancellor if he would make any comments upon the utter ances of the British foreign secretary in a recent interview. "One thing I do know," continued the Chancellor very impressively, "only when statesmen of the warring nations come down to a basis of real facts; when they take the war sltua tion as every map shows it to be; when, with honest and sincere will, they are prepared to terminate this terrible bloodshed and are ready to discuss the war and peace problems with one another in a practical man ner only then will we be nearing I peace. "Whoever is not prepared to do that ! I has the responsibility for It if Europe continues to bleed and tear itself to pieces. I cast that responsibility far ! from myself."
