A MILLION men ARE ENGAGED
French and Germans in a Renewal of
Heavy Fighting in the
-Verdun Region.

Berlin (via wireless), May 10
More than a million men are now en-
gagged on both sides in the renewal
of heavy fighting around Vordun, it
was stated today.
while the Germans consider the
attacking force four times superior to
the defending, the German troops
likely number less than half the
French force engaged which is $780,
600 men," said the statement. These
figures represent one-half the entire
force, which the French still have at
their disposal for active fighting.
The second German attack against
Verdun was based on it's crushing eff
feet to heavy artillery. Heavy artil.
lery is the only thing bringing results
which are being obtained today. At
any rate the French are unable to
with the German artillery
and munitions.
German loss is due to the effect of
French artillery and the tenacity of
the French in not abandoning their
trenches" s... *.
Major Moraht, German military
critic, pointed out today that all the
German successes on the east and
west front were gained against super
iOr numbers and the Austrians have

since he renewed his drive against
Verdun with heavy thrust from the
northwest early Friday, French mill
tary men estimate.
After a violent bombardment of the
French positions on Hill No. 304, on
the Verdun Front, the Germans at
tempted an advance. The war Office
announced that the attack was re-
pulsed completely. French counter
attacks east of the Mouse drove the
Germans from certain positions they
had captured.
Many Positions Retaken.
The positions recaptured by the
French consisted of some parts Of
trenches northwest Of Thiaumont.
An intense bombardment was con-
Quoted by the Germans in the sectors
Of Elk and Chatillon and between
Douaumont and Vaux.
There was grenade fighting at Apre-
mont and in the valley of the Fecht.
South of Autreches, near Scissors, the
Germans attempted an attack. but
were repulsed,
At Bolante, in the Argonne, the
French captured two small German
posts, killing all the occupants.
Elsewhere on the front there were
no important developments. ..
The latest assaults of the Germans
on the defenses of Verdun have served
TO demonstrate the high pitch of eff
cheney to which the French have
brought the use of the machine gun.
The French Sont-line trenches are be-
ing defended by machine guns with
comparatively few men to serve them,
and with the addition of new auto
matte rifles, two Of which are equiva-
lent to one machine gun.
The Germans suffered the heaviest
losses in frontal attacks on the north
ern slopes of hill 3O4. After captur-
ing French trenches, they were ex-
posed to a terrible fire from French
guns mounted on the summit, which
spouted death all Saturday night
Dawn broke on Sunday over bloody
hillsides and piles of bodies scattered
before wrecked trenches.
