The curtain of fire of the French has set at naught the attacks of the Germans against the trenches which the French recently captured at Le Morte Homme This engagement, which is characterized by Paris as small one is probably the only fight ing by infantry on the French and Belgian fronts. A very violent bonn bardment is reported in the region of Hill 304, northwest of Verdun.
 The Germans are still throwing shells in great numbers against Ikskull Bridgehead of the Russians on the eastern front There also has been a heavy artillery duel between the Germans and the Russians in the region south of Krevo.
 The usual bombardments and iso- lated infantry attacks are in pro- gross on the Austro- Italian front. The Turks started two offensive movements against the Russians. one in the region of Baaiburt and the other near Erzingan. Both were re- pulsed according to Petrograd.

LONDON. May 4.-The house of commons tonight passed the second reading of the military service bill for immediate general military compul- sion. A motion by Richard D. Holt, radical, to reject the bill was pre- viously defeated 32S to 36
 The debate on the bill developed no important new points. David Lloyd George. the minister of munitions, de- clared that he would rather be driven out of the liberal party and even out of political life than to have upon his conscience the responsibility of re- fusins the demands for q supply of men who might constitute the difference between defeat and victory.
 Sir John Simon, the former home secretary. in opposing the bill reiter- ated that il was not alone d question for the military to decide. There was no evidence he said. that the bill would really add to Great Britain's na- tional force and strength IL woulC create a maximum amount of hard ship with minimum results

Ambassador Gerard's message Was sent before he had examined the note itself. Its meaning was not entirely clear because. of errors in transmits sior of the diplomatic cipher.
 Secretary Lansing declined to com ment on the message or make it pub lie because he feared it was garbled or that Mir Gerard not having seen the note itself might have made in accurate deductions. Furthermore, the ambassador had indicated that his message must be regarded as being highly confidential.
 Secretary Lansing sent the dispatch to the White House for the informa- tion of President Wilson. At the same time an effort was made to have the errors of transmission corrected. II appeared tonight. however that the contents of the note woull be known before the corrections could be made
