GERMANS RESUME
 ATTACK AT vEROUN FEROCIOUS INFANTRY CHARGES French Line Continues to Hold and Attackers Are Driven Back with
 Heavy EcsseS-Fresi, Troops Are Sent to Reinforce Men in Trenches.
FEROC1OUS INFANTRY CHARGES

PARIS, April 10.--The Germans have resumed their attacks on the French lines east and west of the Mouse, in the vicinity of Verdun, over thirteen mile front.
 Following the heavy bombardment which continued almost all of last week, the Germans yesterday con- menced series of heavy infantry at tacks and continued them through the night Attack after attack was made, huge bodies of troops being hurled against the French line, but without result, the Germans being driven back with heavy slaughter.
 Despite the ferocity of the attacks the French held firmly. and it is con- tidently predicted that the heaviest attack the Germans can make will be unable to break through The French have moved large bodies of troops to reinforce those in the trenches. and it seems impossible that the Ger mans will be able to wrest any ground from the defenders.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 10- President Wilson, while returning from a trip up the Potomac Satur- day evening was interviewed regard ing the rumor that the United States troops were to be withdrawn from Mexico.
 The President denied most emphat- ically that the troops were to be with drawn at this time, and that the pur- ported orders published Saturday were official. He said it was the in- tention of the government to get Vii- ia, regardless of the length of time it took, and that the American troops would remain in Mexico unti. that purpose had been accomplished.
 The President said that the gov ernment had received no intimation from President Carranza or other of hcial of the Mexican government that the presence of the United States troops in the country was uE welcome, and he did not, believe that any such intimatior would be forth coming. Up to this time, he said. the Mexican troops had been acting in friendly conjunction with the American commander in the attempt to run down the outlaw chief, and he had no reason to expect any great change of attitude.
 Carranza, he believed, would well come the removal of such a fertile source of trouble to his administra- tion and would do all in his power to assist in his capture.
