LONDON, April 10.--The greatest
battle in the history of the world
has entered its 18th day with the
Germans driving mighty blows at
Verdun.
The Germans are advancing on an
arch-like front IL miles long and are
simultaneously attacking the north
western gates of the fortress.
Paris has admitted the loss of 500
yards of thenches on Deadman's hill.
After capturing Bethincourt, the
German crown prince has rushed in
fresh troops on both banks of the
Meuse.
Since the first of February the
Germans have captured about $50
square miles of territory and 80 viii
lages around Verdun, but the most
violent artillery battle in the world
has won for the Germans only one
fort, Douamont.
The losses on both sides have to-
tailed over 100000, far more than at
the battle of Waterloo.
LONDON, April 10.-The German
losses todate, including killed, wound
ed and missing is now estimated to
be 2,730,916. The figures for the
killed alone are placed at 6s1 ,437.
PARIS, April 1l.-With liquid fire
the Germans have succeeded in cap
turing small fragments of the tren-
ches on the east ridge of the Dead
mans hill.
The German attacks have been re-
pulsed at all other places. They al
SO used liquid fire on the east bank
of the Meuse, but the French artil-
lery checked this attempt.
1t is officially estimated that the
German losses since the beginning of
the Verdun campaign have been 200,-
900.
1t is said that the enormous losses
are mostly due to carelessness, and
that the Germans only succeeded in
capturing the outside positions and
have later been forced to give up
HloSt VI tiiCsSf oWiiS W SouheSi
tacks by the French.
The French blows are checking the
Germans at Deadman's hill.
The communique indicated that the
curtain of artillery fire and the stub
born French resistance is breaking
up the German offensive power, al
tho furious fighting still continues.
The Germans are now only attack
ing on three-mile front at Dead
mans hill.
BERLIN, April 1l.-Over $4,000
French have been captured since the
beginning of the Verdun campaign,
and their losses are at least 100000.
The Germans have captured more
positions to the north of Verdun and
the French counter attacks have been
repulsed.
