WILSON NOT MAN
FOR PEACE MOVE
German Professor Says President Has
Quccrcd Himself BY Tn
neutral Stand.

BERLIN, Nay Silvia London.
June l, 1890 p. m)-Hans Del
brueck, University of Berlin profess
sor, has written an article in regard
TO the American mediation in the war
in which he states there is something
repollcnt to Germany in the idea of
accepting President Wilson as medi-
ator. Ii is obvious, he said, that tine
svmpathics of the president are with
the entente powers. which might be
regarded as disqualifying him so Car
as the central powers are concerned.
lie continues.
Moreover, President Wilson, by
using in his speech EXPRESSIONS which
are insulting, has created ar dtmcS-
phcrc between MS which renders a
cordial approachmeut no longer pos
sible. Nevertheless. Germany need
not show herself absolutely nfl"Xihle.
tor Germany's strength lies IN the
tdct that the president already mas
shown himself SO uufrlently that he
has left almost nothing undonc IN thar
direction.
What could he do to us II he pro-
posed conditions which we rejected

he would never be able To win the sup

Professor DclDrueCk argues the
case is quite different with the entente
powers. which are cotrplctcly IN the

GERMANS CHECKED
IN VERDUN FIGHT
80 10 4''I'os l..r..,.,,,
Accounts Show Inov H
French Have Held Their
Own Since May y.

PARIS. June More complete ac-
counts reaching here from Nerdun
show that the battle. which ragged
from May 81 TO May 80 and which
ended. according to statement OF
the French war office. in costly
check for the Germans, was the great
est effort made by the Teutonic
forces in the whole Ncrdun operations.
More ana heavier guns and denser
masses OF troops were assembled along
the three miles of the French front
from Hill 3O4 to the Meuse than in
any previous attack.
The French stood firm under an
avalanche OF shot and shell and drove
back wave after wave of Teutonic
infantry. They only surrendered
about one hundred yards of ground at
Little Caurettes, where trench had
been obliterated by the terrific fire OF
the German big guns.
According to information given by
prisoners, the German forces con
sisted of two fresh brlgadcS with three
companies of pioneers. The mission
OF the latter was to work around
Cumieres and reach the Chattancourt
village by the road running parallel
To the railroad. In the meantime two
other regiments were ordered to creep
along the bank of the river and seize
the Chattancourt railroad station,
west OF the village. Another brigade
was instructed to storm the woods
and hedge rows which border Chat
tancourt to the west while other de-
tachments. acting still farther to the
west, were to support in the attack.
Costly Failure.
In the opinion of French military
critics, the result was not only a
costly failure for the Germans. but
a success for the French, such as
they have rarely attained.
The Germans suffered SO heavily
that they ceased further attacks,
while the French. bv prompt coun-
ter attacs, re-Csta bliShed themselves
again south of Cumieses and won an
important point of vantage on the
southwestern slope of Dead Man
hill.
1t develops that during Yesterday S
battle west of the Meuse, the Ger
mans sent back the French line be-
tween Dead Man hill and Cumieres
for "A distance of three-quartcrs of a
mile. The French battalions, how.
ever which had retired before the
Unprecedented artillery fire, re-
formed and made desperate coun.
ter attack. supported by reinforce
ments. After nearly two hours u
violent fighting they recovered al
the lost ground. The infantry fight
ing in this struggle is described a.
