New York, May 13.-Today's re- view of operations in the European war zone shows that the Douaumont region on the Verdun front, where the Germans for moro than two months have been held fairly close to the line of their original advance in the February drive, is again the scene of desperate fighting.
 Violent bonn bardment of French positions in this sector yesterday was followed by strong attacks in which, according to the afternoon bulletin from Paris, the Germans suffered heavy losses and failed to gain any ground.

Vienna today reports continual ly increasing activity in the vicinity of the Volhynian fortress triangle on the Russian front. The moves of the opposing commanders, however, have not yet resulted in decisive results for either side, nor have there been i'm portant shifts in the line along the Austro- Italian front.
