GERMAN ATTACKS At DEAD MANS
HILL DESPERATE IN
VIOLENCE.

still unbroken, and the Germans at

Hill No. 3O4 are now almost desper.

The infantry fighting also has spread
to the opposite bank of the river, and
French and Germans are locked in q
titanic struggle between Douaumont
and Vaux. Late yesterday afternoon
the Germans at great cost succeeded
in gaining a footing in some of the
French advance trenches.
They we're Immediately elected
however, by a counter attack, leaving
more than 100 prisoners in the hands
of the French.
1t is in the Mort Homme region
however, that the greatest struggle OF
the Verdun campaign is in progress
Toward the end of the day the infantry
for the moment gave way to the ar
tillery, and a terrific bombardment OF
the French positions is now in pro-
gress, apparently in preparation for
another attack.
With the exception of one small sec
ton of approximately 500 yards, the
French line from the Meuse to AvO-
court remains unbroken, despite the
utmost efforts of four German divi-
sions 10000 mem. The Germans
made this advance by the aid of a ire
mendous artillery fire and hundreds of
jets of flaming liquid, which burned
and suffocated the defenders.

blazing streams of chemicals, adj
vanced from the southern fringe of
Corbeaux Woods. They were able to
win a foothold in some trenches on
the extreme eastern section of the
Morte Homme dead Mani position.
The Germans again called their
chemicals into play in the Douaumont
fighting, a tornado of shells being di-
rected against the French. Here their
gain was only mOmentary.
The Germans are now throwing their
best forces into the fight regardless of
the cost. BY now they have brought
up something like thirty-three divisions

A single instance shows what the
German losses before Verdun must be.
The third battalion of the Brandon

up to date has lost 1876. The total
includes twenty officers.

Of Fitchburg railroad stock with Il book

worth more than SO a share, 1or 500
40. Mr.. Hobbs said the st. Johnsburv
y Lake Champlain railroad, which oper-
ates loo miles of track across northern
| Vermont, was worth lust about what
| it would bring as junk -. The Boston

Ipaying propositions.
| Vice President Hobbs also testified
THAT the 1919 shares of Boston & Low
| ell stock carried on the books of the
! Boston \ Maine at value of 81, l9S, $50

about $3.50 share. The purchase price.
he added, was 1920 Under the terms
of its lease, he testified, the Boston &
Maine guaranteed an per cent divi-
dend upon the $7.679, 400 capital stock
Of the Boston & Lowell now outstand-
