NEW GARAGE BUILDING

Work has commenced clearing the
site for new building for the Gen.
trail Garage on 9Th Ave. south and
End street. Philip Mason, Sr., is
having his residence, which now oc-
cupies the proposed site, removed to
his lot across the alley, facing on
7th avenue. Ambrose Walsh has
the contract for moving the house,
and when this is done, the work of
building a new garage, so by SO, will
be commenced. This is needed for
room for the Central Garage, both
for storage of automobiles, and for
a machine shop, the present quarters
being too crowded.
Eventually it is Mr.. Masons in
tention to remove the present black
smith shop to the rear of the garage
building, and include the whole
space now occupied as a blacksmith
shop, in the garage building, making
that structure SO by 140 in dimen-
sions.

CAPTURE.
FORT D0UAUM0NT
Retake Position Long Held
by the Germans.

Press and Public EIated Over Success
1ul Struggle for Fortress Occupied
by Teutons at Outset Of Great Bat
tie Of Verdun.
Paris, May 24.-Recapture by the
French Of the greater part OF Fort
Douaumont, which was taken by tho
Germans at the outset Of their Ver-
dun drive, is received with great Ella
ton by the press and the public. the
more so because OF the effect it is ex'.
pected to have on neutral opinion.
General Nivelle, French commander
at Verdun, took advantage Of the facs
that the Germans recently have beeD~
concentrating their attention on Dead
Man hill, on the other side of the riv'.
er, and assembled artillery for the at
tack on the Douaumont sector.
The German resistance At some
points was stubborn. On the Frofdo
Terre road and at Douaumont the
French had to force back the German
infantry inch by inch at the point OF
the bayonet
As soon as they recovered from
their surprise the Germans launched
several fierce counter attacks. but alb
failed.
Tho French success is considered By
military critics here to have shaken
the whole German line at Verdun.
Douaumont fort was the most impoT-
tant point captured by the Germans
and the French gain there 10 regard
ed as having nullified the most sig
nif1cant achievement of the Germans
in the great battle Of three months.
West of the Meuse Hill 2s5. tho
western summit of Dead Mans hill,
has become mo mans land" like
Hartmans- Wielerkopf. Once before
the French abapdoned 1t temporarily
to avoid useless loss, reoccupying II
when the opportunity came.
