TT. DoUAMONT is
REcAPTURED BY FRENCHMEN

London, May 23-The dramatic sur
prise sprung by the French yesterday
in attacking the Germans northeast
Of Verdun and penetrating fort Dou-
aumont, was successfully followed up
today by General Neville's forces
The Germans were driven from all
but small angle Of the northeastern
corner of the fort, says today's ofhclal
statement
A German official statement today
however, says Fort Douamont is still
firmly held by the Germans. inc
Germans admit the French took some
first-line trenches north of Verdun.
Furious counter attacks were made
by the Germans in efforts to regain
trenches on a mile and a quarter
front from east of Douamont to
Thiaumont farm captured yesterday,
the French say. The only German
success was the recapture OF posi-
ton north of the farm.
On the other side OF the MeuSc lhe
battle lost nothing in intensity, but
no ground changed hands.
Gas and flame attacks by the Ger
mans near Hill No. 304 penetrated
first-line trench but the invaders
we're Immediately driven out.
The latest from the Austro-Italian
front indicates that the Austrians
are continuing to gain in southern
Tyrol. A current Austrian report
claims important successes on the
Lavarene plateau, east of Astico val
ley.
A Rome statement is silent regard
ing the fighting here, but reports re-
pulsing the Austrians at other points.

SUNDAY CLOSING MOVEMENT
COLLPASES IN LOWNDEs

Valdosta, May 23-The Sunday
closing movement in Valdosta col
larsed as suddenly as it was begun.
After being closed on Sunday, nearly
all the drug stores, the ice cream
parlors and cigar stands were open
as usual yesterday and did the usual
Sunday business.
Added to the requests of the minis
ters' committee which endeavored to
put the lid on was fear of Indictment
by the grand jury in session last week
causing most of the places to close
last Sunday The grand jury adj
journed last Saturday however, with
out taking any radical action in the
matter of Sunday violations.
