Defenders of Fortress of Verdun Are Moved Down by German Artillery Fire or Bayonetted in the Cap tured Trenches
PARIS IS SILENT
 ON THIS BATTLE
Latest French Official State ment Issued at Paris Fails to Mention Any Unusual Activity by the French Infantry
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

thepupllCdn "A. r. Leased WITSJ
 That the French troops defending the fortress of Verdun have launched q vigorous counter attack in the re- zion of Deadman's Hill, on. the west bank of the Mouse, was disclosed by the official report issued Saturday afternoon from the German army headquarters.
 The attack followed violent artillery preparation and was directed against the German positions south of Cor beaux wood, in the Cumieres wood and on Deadman's Hill
 Though line after line of French troops were moved down, the Ger man statement says by the artillery fire of the Germans, some French battalions succeeded in penetrating the Teuton's position on Deadman's s Hill. On gaining a footing in the trenches there, however, Berlin de- clares, they were slain in bayonet fighting
 Paris officially is silent regarding this battle, the afternoon statement announcing that French batteries had evidenced great activity on the west bank of the Mouse. particularly to the west of COrbeauX wood and along Forges Brook, and that no infantry engagements had taken place.
 The latest official statement issued at Paris fails to mention any activity ty the French infantry. Both east and west of the Mouse there have been artillery bombardments only.
 On the eastern front sharp fight ing is going on between Austrian and Russian forces for positioSs on the lower Stripa and the Dneister river in Galicia, and for others north east of CzernoWitz, in Bukowina.
 In the Italian theater, the Italian and Austrian armies have respectively taken the offensive at various points along that front. Austrian troops stormed an Italian position at Mrzlivrh and claim to have beaten back several counter attacks in which the Italians are said to have suffered heavy losses.
 The Austrians admit they were forced to evacuate a defensive posi- tion south of Sperone, but claim to have repulsed the Italian attacks in other sectors.
 In the operations on the water foul vessels figure in the news The British steamship Shenandoah. ot 3,sS6 tons gross. and the German steamship Hispania have been sunk by mines. The Danish steamer Proven has been sunk by a German submarine at point south of Stock holm, and the Danish steamship kasan has been captured in the Cat tegat by large German submarine

Note on Santandreno

PARIS. April 16.-The sinking of the Spanish steamer Santandreno is the subject of an official note issued by the German embassy at Madrid, which is quoted by the Havas cor respondent as follows.
 Tt is evident that the submarine war carried on by Germany, in reply to the war of extermination and famine declared on her by England, may injure the interests of neutrals, but only in cases where the inter ests are exercised in favor of Ger many's enemies under the form of the dispatch of contra band of war.
 There is nothing to prove that it was a German war vessel which tor pedoed the Santandreno. The Ger man embassy is asking the Berlin government to make an inquiry into the case as soon as possible.

MORE SHIPS SUNK BY GERMANS WHILE U. s.
 INQUIRY IS GOING ON
IRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON April 15. While President Wilson and Secretary Lan- slEg today were engaged in marshall ing the accumulation of evidence that Germany in Submarine had violated solemn pledges given to the United States. official word of two more ship ping disasters. apparently due to ll- legal acts by German submarine con- manders, was received at the state department. Consular dispatches in dicated that the steamship Margam Abbey was attacked without warning on April s and that the Inverlyon was sunk by shell fire after the crew had been forced to the small boats more than 100 miles from shore Americans were aboard both ships and were en- dangered.
 These two cases are being investi- gated and may be included in the Am erican indictment of German methods of conducting submarine warfare which it was understood tonight prob ably would be ready for transmission to Berlin early neN4 week.
 The president and Secretary Lansing devoted q large part of the day to the consideration of the submarine situa = tion. They had before them a mum : per of affidavit secured from Ameri- can snr, iVors of the Sussex and other vessels recently attacked and q num- Der of documents containing informa = ton forwarded by the British govern ment. These documents arrived on the liner St. Paul yesterday. They reach-
 ed here this afternoon.
 It was said the actual value of af-
 fidavits had been materially lessened
 ty the contents of the German note repl} ing to the American inquiries. The
 asfidavits probably would have played
 ar important part in the indictment if the administration did not regard the German statements of the Sussex
 as constituting virtual admission Of
 guilt.
 It became known here tonight that the contemplated action of the United States which is expected to bring the submarine controversy to q clear cut issue is being watched closely by the diplomatic representatives of other neu- tIal nations The United States is talk ing into consideration the case of many neutral vessels which. while not carry ing American citizens, have been sunk by German submarines. An investi. eation of these cases has been pro- ceedine on the ground that it was only by chance that American citizens were not aboard the ships when the dis aster overcame them.
 Furthermore. the interests of tn' | United States and other neutrals ar, understood 10 he identical in somt facts So >fac. however. the United 1 States has dtf1ined to act jointly witl | Cther neutrals. not only in regard t' | the submarine question but on othe 1 subjects as well l. was said tonigh l by high official of the administered tio, l ttat the American government saw m

 The attack was unheralded and the succession of sharp explosions and flashes of fire startled hundreds of peo- pie on the streets and brought flood of inquiries to the White House offices and the police headquarters. The bombs were harmless and were timed to eX- plode about 1000 feet in the air.
