and throughout the night. They were
still at it when the statement was is
sued.
Preceding the German advance,
massed batteries Of heavy calibre guns
concealed behind the hills hurled tons
Of shells into the French trenches,
blasting them to debris. This was fol-
lowed by a rain of gas projeetiles, suf-
locating the survivors who still clung
with great bray cry TO the wreckage Of
their defenses.
As part Of the trenches had been
pounded into utter ruin, they were con.
sidered untenable and were evacuated
Elsewhere, however, French batteries
Of the famous Seventy fiyes sta.
toned on the summit Of the hill and
in adjoining positions checked all at
tempted advances.

Berlin. May 6.-American circles to-
day pointed out the importance Of the
peace feature contained in the German
reply to the American submarine note.
They expressed the belief that Presi-
dent Wilson has great opportunity
to bring the war to an early end.
Some persons even suggested that the
time was now ripe for Colonel House
to again visit the European capitals
Newspapers here praised the Ger
man reply and expressed hope that it
would satisfy President Wilson and
the Americans. There were no adverse
editorials.
Newspapers admitted that Great
Britain would vigorously oppose the
effort by the United States to curtail
its blockade Of the central empires. 1t
was pointed out that the blockade is
as valuable to Great Britain as the sub
marine is to Germany, and that it will
require m unusual pressure from Amer
lea to force the British to strict
compliance with international law.
The Tageblatt expressed a hope that
the note would accomplish its purpose,
The LOkal An2eiger hopes that 1t would
satisfy the Americans and congress,
even if it did not satisfy Wilson.
The Vossiche Zietung emphasized the
charge that Wilson is one sidedly neu'
tru and added that Germany had made
an honest and earnest endeavor to
avoid break.
