Paris, June 30th-In u terrific attack upon
the French positions east OF Hill 304 in The
Verdun sector, the Germans captured u for
tilted work in the first line of the French
trenches after the garrison had been literally
buried under a storm OF shells. The posi-
ton was recaptured by a brilliant French
counter-attack according to al Official state
ment issued by the War Office to-day. The
Germans also delivered q powerful at
tack on the French in AvotOurt Wood and
west of Hill 304, but all their efforts are de-
clared to have been checked with heavy loss
es to the attackers. Considerable activity is
reported on The trout from Newport to the
Aisne.
London, June 3Oth-The "Mancnester
Guardian, one of the most Influential
papers in the country, makes a direct plea
for clemency for Sir Roger Easement.
While admitting that no other sentence
but that of death could have been pro-
nounced by the Court, the "Guardian" says
Easement was a fanatic and his crimes,
like those of any other fanatics, are free
from the faint Of sordidness and mean
ness. The death penalty will do nothing
TO kill such dreams as his, rather it will
give them life. For the sake of the new
Ireland, which we hope to see, it is n mo-
ment for clemency. An indirect plea for
mercy is made by other papers on the
ground that the execution Of Easement
would not assist in settling :he Irish pro-
blem.
Washington, June 3Oth-The Mexican
situation stood today virtually where it
was "a hours ago, except tkat more Nation
al Guardsmen were hurrying 10 the border
and the time allowed General Carranza to
declare his intentions toward American
troops in Mexico is growing shorter. With
troops captured at Carlizal back Oh
American soil apparently there was no
intention on the part of the Washington
Government 10 force an Immediate issue on
it's demand for assurance that there would
not be a repetition of the attack on General
Pershing's forces.
London, June 30tb.-The will of Field
Marshal Earl Kitchener was admitted TO
probate to-day. 1t shows that he left an
estate valued at ELL, APO.
Paris, June 30th.-The correspondent of
ella Liberte" on the British front says the
intensity of the British artillery at certain
points is frightful. Shell follows shell at
only a few seconds interval. The efficiency
of the fire has been noted by accommodating
parties. Not only first line trenches have
been wrecked over a considerable area and
some of them entirely Strengthened out, but
the second and third line defences have
come under the British fire. Two nutrition
depots, five miles in the rear, have been
blown up. The prisoners brought back by
the British appear to be stunned. The COR
respondents, after highly praising the Brit
ish trench raiders and the great spirit OF the
Army, adds: The British Flying Corps lately
has been very successful, time aud again
German a~ircrafts have attempted to cross
the Allies lines to spy out preparations and
each time have had to retreat pursued by
the British airmen. Since the beginning of
the week British aircraft have destroyed 5
German aeroplanes.
