statement says the French have re-
pulsed the violent German attacks
on the west bank of the Meuse, which
started last night.
The French have made gains on
the east bank of that river.
A smashing French counter attack
recaptured a trench lost yesterday
near the Thiauomant farm.
The progress of the Germans on
both banks of the Meuse toward Yer
dun is arousing Paris to an apprecia-
tion of the seriousness Of the attack.
Paris believes. however, that there is
no danger to Paris, even tho the Ger
mans capture Verdun.
1t is impossible to estimate the
losses. The dead and wounded are
not counted. Thousands line the slopes
of Dead Mans hill and in the re-
gion of Douamount.
1t is impossible for either side to
gather in their wounded until there
is lull in the artillery firing.
BERLIN, May 26.-The German
official statement claims that the
Teutons have made further slight ad-
vances to the south and also to the
northeast of Douamount.
Six hundred prisoners and 12 ma
chine guns have been taken.
LONDON, May 26.-Advices from
Berlin and Paris indicate renewal
of the violent artillery engagements
around Verdun.
A redistribution of the forces took
place while the lull in the infantry
fighting was on.
VIENNA, May 26.-The Austrian
armies have driven a wedge into the
Italian front west of Vicenza, which
it is believed will cause the Italian
left wing to fall back distance of
five miles, in order to prevent des-
truction by the Austrian right wing
which is rapidly advancing.
ROME, May 26.-It has been learn
ed here that the allies are planning
big offensive from Salonika in a
few weeks which is planned to elm
mate the Bulgars and Turks as a
actor in the war by cutting them off
from their Teutonic allies. At the
anne time the British and Russians
viii make hard drive on Bagdad.
BERLIN, May 26.-Two prominent
1eutral ambassadors have said it is
heir opinion that President Wilson
will make no attempt this summer to
ntervent in the war.
Recent exchanges between the bel
igerent capitals indicates that both
sides are too confident of victory TO
heed peace proposals now.
1t is believed here that the fight
ng will end in October, both sides
then being confident that the deadlock
IS unbreakable. If this is the case,
the peace negotiations will continue
'hruout the winter.

BERLIN, May 25.-The giant Ger
man nutcraclser is closing in on YER
dun with the bloodiest fighting in all
history. The right jaw has advanc-
ed along front of three miles in the
last " hours of fighting.
The French have evacuated their en-
tire position at Dead Mans hill and
their positions northwest of Verdun
after sacrificing more than whole
army corps in an attempt to hold
them.
Hill No. 304, the cornerstone to
the French positions at Verdun, and
also those of the west side of the
Meuse, is now held jointly by the
Germans and French.
The left jaw of the German ma
chine has reconquered the entire po-
sltions that We're temporarily abanodn-
ed to the French.
1t is estimated that 10000 have
died fighting in the darkness and in
the underground caverns about the
ruins of Douamont.
The Germans fight at night by the
aid of hand searehlights, and are us
ing knives and bombs.
Hundreds of Germans and French
were buried alive when shells destroy
ed the tunnels in which they were sap
ping.
Seven thousand dead are piled on
front of less than 100 yards.
There has been no hull in the fight
ing since Sunday.
Great masses of dead are piled on
the fronts, and it is impossible for
their friends to reach them on account
of the terrific fire.
Often times the shells hit in the
piles of dead and they are mutilated
horribly.
Surgeons are amputating arms and
legs without the use of anesthetics.
1t is denied that the French have at
any time occupied Douamont. The
only French detachment that succeed
ed in reaching the fort was annihilat-
ed.
West of the Meuse the French are
being steadily driven back to the pro-
lection of their forts.
BERLIN, May 25.-The official
statement says the French trenches
south and southwest of Douamont
have been captured.
Last night the German air forces
bombarded the British ships off the
coast of Flanders.
LONDON, May 25.-There is
lull today in the fight at Verdun, be-
cause of the terrible exhaustion of the
forces engaged. The frightful slaugh-
ter at Douamont came to an end with
the fort in the hands of the Germans
and the French did not attempt to re
take it.

night Foreign Minister Grey said there
would be no peace until Germany had
toned down her demands.
Lloyds today quoted odds of three
to one that there will be no pence
during the present year.
At Berlin the official opinion is
pessimistic. 1t is believed England is
anxious for peace, but the French do
not care for peace until after the al
lies have made their great drive.

to Wilson as a peacemaker on the

EASTERN CLUB Leads
IN PENNANT HONORS

that since 1876 Eastern clubs have
won % pennants and Western clubs
Is. According to his figures the
grand average Of Eastern pennant
winning percentages is 667 while
of that of the. Wester clubs is 705.
The highest among Eastern clubs was
made by Providence in 1884. with
$50. and the lowest by Philadelphia
last season when the Phillies won the
pennant with 592 Among the West
ern clubs Chicago's average of 79s in
1880 is high, and Detroit's .687 in
1887 low.
He also points out that, with one
exception. Eastern and Western
clubs have won pennants in groups Of
two, three or five years, as follows:
1877-79. Bast; 18S0-82 West; 1884,
East; 1SS5-S7, West; 18SS-1900. East;
19O1-O3, West; 1eO4-O5, East; 19O6-1O,
West; 1911-15, East. In view Of the
fact that with one exception there has
never been a winning sectional
stretch of more than five years he
rather expects to see a Western club
come through and win the 1916 pen
nant with a driving finish. He is
willing to concede however, that II
this occurs the winner will fall con-
siderably below the average of win
