Forces Of Germans.

Berlin, May Sin the recent
hghting on the Verdun front the Ger
mans captured an entire system Of
trenches on the northern slope of

to-day. The statement follows:
The operations west Of the Mouse
on the Verdun front during recent
days have been carried out by brave
Pomeranian troops. They were at
tended by great difficulties, but with
moderate losses, we're successful.
Notwithstanding the tenacious de-
feats and furious counter attacks Of
the enemy, the Germans took an en-
tire system of trenches on the north
ern slon OF Hill 3O4.
"The German lines reached the ton
Of the height. The enemy suffered
extraordinarily heavy losses, so that
only 40 unwounded officers and 1880
soldiers were captured by US. Attacks
by the enemy on our positions on the
western slope of the hill were re-
pulsed everywhere with heavy losses.
East of the Meuse, on both sides
OF Thiaumont form, there was bitter,
fighting. The enemy, along with
other troops, employed negroes in the
fighting east Of the farm. The attack
broke down and 800 men were made
prisoners In the engagements men
toned fresh French troops were rec
ognized.
"In the Meuse sector the enemy
has employed 81 divisions, including
divisions which were used a second
time after being brought up to full
strength. This means fully twice the
forces put in action by the Germans
who are making the attack.
