GERMANS: RENEW
 y VER0UN ATTACK
CHARGES LACKING IN INTENSITY
French Military Authorities Puzzled by Persistence When It Was Be heved Battles Had Shown lmpreg- inability of French Forts.

PARIS, April 27.-After several days of comparative inactivity the Germans have again renewed their assault upon the French line in the vicinity of Verdun. The attacks how ever, according to a war office bulfe- tin, are lacking in the force and in- tensity which marked the beginning of the struggle in this vicinity, and absolute confidence prevails that they will be unable to make any gains at this point.
 Military officials are puzzled to ac- count for the continued assaults of the Germans at this point. It is stat ed that the Teutons have sacrificed thousands of men and vast amount of ammunition in the drive against Verdun, and the result of all this has been but small gains. It was be- lieyed that the Germans had aban- doned the attempt and would turn their attention to some other point and itkis thought possible that the presSnE offensive movement may be merely a,ruse to cover an attack ol a movement of the troops to another locality:

HAWAIIAN VOLCANO IS
 NOW GREAT SPECTACLE

HONOLULU, April 27.-Not since 1912, when the great volcano of Kilauea, Hawaii, was at the zenith of it's activity, has it presented such a spectacle as at the present time. The many visitors who have recently seen it, witnessed a, display such as few people have ever seen. The great lake of fire has risen to such an ex- tent as to occupy the entire area be- tween the side walls, and the surface is riven in all directions by wonder full fountains of molten stone, accom- panied by brilliant irridescent lava flows which spread in every direction. Special excursions to the volcano from Honolulu are being taken advantage of, and the automobile road running almost to the edge of the fire lake is nov, more than, ever, appreciated to th(A:ull.

 STRIKE AT ANCHORAGE

Another day has passed without news from Anchorage and from this fact it may be deduced that affairs in the railroad town are quiet. At the court house it, is said that nothing has been received either from Judge Brown, who arrived there yesterday, or from the Deputy Marshal.
 A rumor was current this after noon that the Board of Arbitration and Consolidation appointed by the government to settle the differences between the workmen and the Engi- neering Commission, had made new wage scale of $3.5O for an eight hour day, and that the men had returned to work, but the rumor could not be verified.

WARN AMERICANS
 ID LEAVE MEXICO
CONSUL AT DURANGO IS AUTHOR
Tells all Citizens of the United States
 in Mexico to Leave the Country Serious Trouble Is Anticipated Believed Mexico Means to Fight.

TORREON, Mexico. April 27.- The American consul at Durango has issued a warning to all American citi- zens to flee from the interior of Mex ico and make their way as speedily as possible to the border.
 The warning is very insistent and is taken to indicate that the consul is convinced that trouble with Mex ico is almost sure to occur.
 A number of Americans have taken heed to the warning and are making their way north. Local sentiment against Americans is intense, and it is believed to be a matter of but a short time before some of the hot heads among the civilians or soldiers will bring about a. serious disturb ance that will eventually end in war.

until this evening pending report from committees from each class of labor, who were appointed to confer with the members of the labor con- mission, and seek to get a further in crease in the scale.
 Public opinion at Anchorage is that the outlook for settlement of the trouble is not bright. It is believed, and this belief is strengthened by re- marks made by the Union officials, that if an increase is not granted in the wages of the common laborers the Union will reject the whole scale, and the strike continue indefinitely. In this event the work on the road will undoubtedly be shut down, probably for the season, as it is intimated in official circles that no attempt will be made to secure men from the outside at this time to take the place of the strikers.
 Business men of the town are hold ing a meeting this afternoon to con- sider ways and means of unloading the steamers in the harbor. They have secured the consent of the officers of the vessels to holding them here for a few hours until some arrangements can be made for unloading them.
 It is said that the longshoremen are willing to unload all merchandise consigned to business establishments of the town, but this cannot be done without also unloading the material for the Engineering Commission and this they refuse to touch. The mer- chants state that they will unload the steamers themselves if no other men will do the work

UPHOLDs SEIZURE OF GOODS

cI"S
 WASHINGTON. D. C., April 27- The reply from Great Britain to the note of protest from the United States regarding the interference with our neutral trade by that government. has been received by Secretary of State Lansing.
 The note defends the action of the British government in seizing cargoes on neutral ships when, lin the opinion of the government" merchandise on neutral ships and consigned to ports in neutral countries, is manifestly destined to the enemy countries. The note sets forth that to deprive the en- emy of foodstuffs or munitions of war: is in strict accordance with the rules of war. and that Britain is but fol- lowing out the blockade program which the United States established during the civil war.
 The note lauds the administration, calling America humanity's cham pion, and. states that the note issued by the state department that bellig- erents should consider armed mer- chantmen peaceful unless conclusive evidence is found to the contrary. is in keeping with the American repu- tation for fair play.
 The note further states that the British government will, warn all American citizens from ships which are travelling under mandatory orders from any of the Allied governments.
