 COMMUNICATE ABOUT PEACE
FIERCEST IN HISTORY

PARIS, May 24-The most savage battle in the his tory of the world is now raging between the French and German troops on line reaching from Deadman's Hill to the ruins of Fort Douamont Both sides apparently inspired with kind of eliminating ferocity and the earn age is awful Eighty thousand Germans were sent crushing into the French positions at DeadmanS Hill while two German brgadeS were hurled repeatedly at the French forces holding the ruins of Douamont All night long the charges continued and the carnage was fghtfu but the attack reached its greatest intensity yesterday at noon The Germans covered the whole French line during the day from Taumont to Douamont with steady arti lerv fire and then came the infantry assaults AS the Teutons came on the French machine guns sprayed the charging ranks but still the waves of the enemy came on and swamed into the edges of the Douamont defenses 1t was then that the ferocy of the feelings of the on both sides showed itself The Germans chung to the para pets and on the edges of the defenses and the French never gave an inch Both sides fought like tigers Stand
 ing on the edges of the paapes man fought against man. The Germans climbed through the narrow alleys, sashed through barbed wire entangementS and rushed m to make hand to hand fight Bayonets and hand grenades were the chief weapons used but in the fury ot the assault even fists were used After time ordinary weapons be- came useless so closely did the cOmbaanS come together The fighting troops became actually wedged together ana
 the front ranks were showed forward by the press o her comrades behind The Germans apparently had one ad- vantage in this sort of fighting by having been provided with knives with which they stabbed savagely In the
 fighting at this one point the Teutons it is estimated lost ten thousand killed From the accounts received here the assault seemed to be intended the great final climax to the struggle for Verd and the whole country IS waiting with anxiety for the news of the result All the official communques this afternoon say that the battle is still proceeding the men on both sides fighting with desper- aion that has not been quaed since the beginning ot the war

MOST SAVAGE FIGHT IN WORLDS HISTORY RAGING
LATE CABLES!
VERDUN FIGHT
 PROCEEDS

PARIS, May 24. - The supreme struggle for Verdun still proceeds. The latest official note is to the effect that after all night fighting of the greatest fury the French troops eX- pened the Germans from all the posi- tions except that in the northern corn CT of Fort DouamOnt. This is regard ed as one of the greatest victories of the yerdun campaign and Paris is celebrating the victory today. It Is now believed that Deadman's Hill is impregnable to the German assaults. The news of the French successes is offset, however, by the news that the British have met reyerses near Vimy ridge. At that point the Bayarians thrust back the British lines to re- move the threat against their hold ings which existed since the British took the offensive. Hand to hand fighting has continued through every part of the Verdun region since last Saturday and the slaughter along the hills to the northwest of Yerdun is growing more frightful. The trenches have been ground to dust by the artil- lery fire and this fire has been follow ed by struggles in which the opposing troops are locked tOgether. Accord ing to the last report issued the con fict was growing more terrific every minute, following one of the blOOdiest nights in history.

UNCLE SAM OPENS AEROPLANE
 MAIL SERVICE BIDS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 WASHINGTON, May 12. - Bids were opened today by Postmaster General BurlcsOn to decide if the United States shall begin mail-by- aeroplano service on seven routes in Alaska and one in Massachusetts.
 If the aeros win over the present methods of transporting mail, they must show superior economy in opera tion as we'll as better speed.
 Advance tips to the Post Office De- partment are that several manufact- urers are backing prospective con tractors for the routes with the prom ise of low-priced machines, presum- ably due to publicity which the stunt would give their planes.
 In Alaska, some of the routes for which a change to the airline is pro- posed have been carried over various relays by dog teams, river scows, and horseback. The beat of the mail car riers led over mountains and swift flowing, icy rivers.
 The airship route would cut straight from starting point to desti- nation, "as the crow fies," regardless of mountain-ranges.
 Rear Admiral Peary is among those interested in seeing the air lines es- tablished as a scientific accomplish ment.
 In the last five years the post-ofice department has encouraged number of aeroplane mail-carrying stunts, and is disposed, if possible to make them regulation part of the service.

 CAUSE A MURDER

FL PASO, May 22.-Trooper Diero of Troop D, Sixth cavalry, is now in the guard house at Fort Bliss under the charge of murdering Trooper Hanamy Both men suffered terribly on the trip from Dublan to Columbus on the return march and evidently had a quarrel. The Troop was short of rations and water, no chance for real sleep was provided and all of the men came back feeling in exceedingly bad spirits. So far as the investigation has gone into the murder of Hanamy it indicates that Diero was driven in- sane.
