Paris, April 1.-THE German as
sault on the Verdun front west of the
Mouse was renewed this morning.
Troops advanced on Caurettes wood
south of Cumieres, the war office an
nounced. using flame projectors, but
were repulsed.
East of the Mouse in the Douau-
mont-Vaux sector there was only ar
tillery fighting. The war office says
it has been confirmed that the Ger
man losses yesterday were very heavy.
New Attack on Hill.
While bringing up reinforcements to
resume their attack on Dead Mans
hill, the Germans are trying to recover
the ground regained by the French in
Caillette woods and to the north be-
tween Douaumont and Vaux.
The French position there describes
an arc from a point south of Douau-
mont fort to the center of the village
of Vaux and the front is a little less
than two miles in length. For three
days the only actions on the east bank
of the Mouse have been conferred there
with the habitual preparation in
heavily concentrated artillery fire with
a finishing touch in the form of a
couple of hours of heavy Smelling with
suffocating and tear-provoking gas
projectiles.

plosives. lasting eight hours. and the
use of gas for another hour or two

There was no visible diminution in
their courage and ardor, neither did
the French show the slightest fatigue,
and the consequence is that the I'M
precedented carnage of the battle OF
Verdun goes on.
Cloud of Gas Hangs Low.
Yesterday the whole front, beaten
by gas projectiles, was overhung by a
yellowish cloud of chlorine vapor,
which seemed to be suspended from
the sky. When the cloud lifted, the
Germans bounded forward, seemingly
Indifferent to the thick death dealing
curtain of fire from the French ar
tillery. Some of them got through it
but only 10 find that the French had
abandoned the first line trenches tc
allow the gas cloud to dissipate.
German reinforcements were sent
up to fortify the trenches, but before
they had reached the line, the French
came back with an irresistible counter
attack and IN a few minutes drove Out
the Germans from the few points
where they had penetrated tht
trenches.

do their work. Except for the
vacuum cleaner, and a few more or
less inexpensive electrical appliances,
