LONDON. April 12.-Shifting the
attack back to the west bank of the
Meuse the Germans poured a heavy
bomb fire on Dead Mans hill po-
sitions, forecasting another hammer
blow against the French line. A
terrific artillery fire was poured in

the Germans attacked Monday
slopes. The crown prince then be-
gan systematic preparations for a
renewal of the assault, creating a
diversion by heavy attack west

Germans penetrated the French first
line trenches but we're driven out
by counter attacks of great vio-
lence. The grand assault began
Saturday and continues, evidently
designed to break through the
French second line northwest of
Verdun. The crown prince smashed
heavily against the French center.
During Sunday night large forces at
tackled the French wings and at
daybreak Monday the Germans
launched an attempt to roll up the
French flanks. Under a combined
