CROWN PRINCE IS
MAKING VIOLENT
DRIVEON VERDUN
Most Determined Effort Yet
Made on French Fortress
Now in Progress
POUNDING PERSISTENTLY
Attacks in Great Force Follow
Heavy Bombardmcnts; De-
tenders Holding Firm

What seems to he the most deter
mined effort yet made by the Crown
Princes forces to break through and
capture Nerdun is now in progress.
Heavy guns are persistently pounding
the defenses of the fortresses and
bombs of unprecedented violence are
being followed up by attacks in great
force.
After their initial successes at hill
304, and between Douaumont and Hau-
dremont, however, the Germans have
failed to make progress, according to
Paris which announces the complete
repulse of an assault on hill 304 at 3
o'clock this morning. East of the
Meuse the French have again been
counter attacking and have succeeded
in winning back more of the ground
the Germans took in starting their
new drive.
Intense artillery activity east ami
southeast of Ferdun leads to an eX-
pectation that the Germans may have
in mind an attempt to push back tho
French right flank here, simultan-
eously with the effort to accomplish
like object with the other flank.

patrol duty.
l addition to that. two adj
ditional regiments of regular in
fantry have been directed to pro-
ceed to the border and such
further arrangements will he
made as are necessary for the
complete security of the people
of the United States against raids
of this character.
Secretary Baker said the orders
sending more troops to the border
were made upon the joint recommen-
dation of both General Scott and Cen
eral Funston and were without signifi-
cance in connection with the Scott
Obregon conferences. Regarding the
progress of these conferences, Secre-
tary Baker said General Scott was
awaiting a communication from Cen
eral Obregon. Further than this the
secretary refused to discuss the status
of the conferences.
Troops Urgently Needed
Generals Scott and Funston advised
the War Department that more troops
were urgently needed along the border
as return of the Big Bend raiders
might be expected. They stated that
the regulars on patrol with the bull;
of the southern forces within Mexico
were insufficient TO adequately guard
against repetition of the Big BEND
raid. 1t was upon these recommended
tions, the President apd Secretary
Baker decided to call into service the
National Guard Of the three border
States.
Step Is For Protection
Secretary Baker described the new
troop movement as step merely for
protection of the border. He said he
had not heard whether the American
troops in the Big Bend region had
actually crossed the boundary in pur-
