Within Six Miles Today.

LONDON, May BIN series Of
powerful attacks, the crown prince
drove southwark to within six miles
of the northwestern gates of Verdun,
the nearest approach of the Germans
on the west bank of the Meuse since
the titanic struggle for the fortress
began 100 days ago.
Battered by heavy German at.
tack, the French were driven back
toward Chattanooga station, less
than six miles from Verdun's out
skirts. The Germans, however, were
unable to hold their gains and were
swept back upon Cumieres village by
a French counter attack. One Ger
man detachment pressing forward In
pursuit Of the retreating Frenchmen,
was pinched against the bank Of the,
Meuse by the counter attack and
wiped out.
South of Caurettes wood, the fire
OF the German guns flattened out a
French trench. The survivors then
abandoned the position, but according
TO the French war office statement
today, this marked the only German
gain as the result of more than
eighteen hours of terrific attacks.

Roosevelt came to the city having the
second largest German-American
population in the country today to
define "hypenation.' In his speech
at the luncheon today, he was expect
ed to take the hyphen out and to
say Just what he thinks the i'm
migrant owes to the United States.
Despite a sweltering hot day in
Kansas City-with three speeches
and a continuous pressing his way
through crowds so, anxious to shake
hands that they nearly tore his
clothes--the former president was in
fine fettle when massed crowds at
St. Louis yelled their greeting.
The colonel was greatly amused
over the attack on him yesterday
in which a pocket knife struck his
car during the parade. 1t wasn't
until three hours after the attack
that he knew of it, then Secretary
McGrath, the only one in Roosevelt's
auto who did know of it, told it. The
biggest blade of the knife, not more
than 2ta inches long, struck Nc
Grath's arm and fell on the running
board when a guard took it.
