Recauture of DouGumont
Causes Great ElGtiOn
By Associated Press

Paris, May 23.-Recapture by the
French after three months of the
greater part of Fort Douamount
which was taken by the Germans at
the outset of their Verdun drive, is
received with great elation by the
press and the public, the more so on
account of the effect it is expected to
have on neutral opinion. General
Nivelle, the French commander at
Verdun, took advantage OF the fact
that the Germans recently have been
concentrating all their attention on
Dead Man Hill. on the other side of
the river and assembled a large
amount of artillery for the attack on
the Douaumont sector.
On Sunday General Nivelle began
a heavy artillery attack. The hour
fixed for the assault was 4:3O D. m.
yesterday. When the moment came
French infantry was carefully selected
and trained, began the advancing
singing the 'Marseilles."
Whole German Line Shaken
The German resistance at some
points was stubborn. On the Froide
Terer road and at Douaumont the
French had to force it's way inch by
inch at the point of the bayonet. The
leading French contingents reached
Fort Douaumont at o'clock. They
killed the Germans who resisted and
sent to the rear large number of
prisoners.
AS soon as they recovered from
their surprise the Germans launched
number of counter attacks but all
failed and by 10 p. m. preparations
had been completed to deal with the
serious effects the Germans are ex-
pected to make to recapture the lost
positions.
The French success is considered
by military officials here to have
shaken the whole German line at Yer
dun. Douaumont fort was the most
important point captured by the Ger
mans. and the French gain there is re-
garded as having nullifed the most
significant achievement of the Ger
mans in the great battle of three
months.

HNEW ToLSToY" IN RUSSIA
LItterateurs Have Become Excited
Over the Work of Ivan Alexei"
witch Bunin.

The May issue Of the Russkaya
Mysl (Moscow), a leading Russian
monthly, contains a remarkable re-
view of a story that had been pub
lished in Russia some months ago, ac-
cording to the American Review OF
Reviews. The author of the story is
Ivan Alexeivitch Bunin, a widely
known Russian poet, and its title is
EThe Gentleman From San Francisco"
1t is perhaps no exaggeration to say
that no other story that has appeared
In Russia in recent years has been ac-
corded such a warm welcome as "Ehe
Gentleman From San Francisco" And
this is the more remarkable when one
considers that Bunin is by no means
Young or unknown figure on the Rus
sian literary field. His reputation as
a poet of high quality was made long
ago. He is now in his late forties. In
1912 the honorary degree of academl7
clan was conferred upon him, and dur
ing the last twenty-five years Russian
critics have had opportunity to STUDY
Bunin's literary powers and to learn
their. potentialities and limits. mis-
however, did not prevent him from
taking the literary world by storm
with his latest production.
The Bulletin of Literature and Life
a monthly of high literary standard
was the first to break to the Russian
world in a recent issue the news that
Bunin's new story is nothing like any
of his former works. AS soon as at
tention was attracted to it, the periodi-
raI press began to write about 1t, COM
mending 'The Gentleman From san
Francisco" in glowing and entnuslas'
tic terms. 1t became clear TO the RUS
sian public that Bunin was just enter
ing his golden era, that the creauve
genius of the poet had just found IL
self and that the numerous literary
PRODUCTIONS Of Bunin constituted Du'
the ladder Of gradual self-perfecuor
that led him to the apogee OF ms
career. And 1t is in this spirit ina

Modern Artillery.

'Drum fire" and curtain fire" are
expressions that have come into use in
artillery practice during the present
European war. "Drum fire" is the fir
ing of artillery at stated intervals, the
resultant noise being described as like
the steady hammering of a great drum.
When the desired effect of reducing
the point of attack has been accom-
plished the guns are elevated to a
higher point and are fired continuous
ly, making a "curtain of fire" to pre-
vent re-enforcements reaching the
point of attack from the rear and at
the same time allowing the infantry to
attack under protection of the guns.
