Last Teuton Drive Greatest
of Entire Verdun Operations
By associated Press

Paris. June /. More complete
accounts reaching here from Verdun
show that the battle which ragged from
May 81 to May 80 and which ended
according to a statement of the French
War Once in a costly check for the
Germans, was the greatest effort made
BY the Teutonic forces in the whole
Verdun operations. More and heavier
guns and denser masses of troops
were assembled along the three miles
of the French front from Hill 3O4 to
the Meuse than in any previous at
tack.
The French stood firm under an
avalanche of shot and shell and drove
back wave after wave of a flood of
Teutonic infantry. They only sur
rendered about 100 yards of ground
at Little Caurettes wood where
trench had been obliterated by the
terrific fire of the German big guns
According to information given by
prisoners the German forces con-
sisted of two fresh brigades with three
companies of pioneers. The mission
of the latter troops was to work
around Cumieres and reach the Chat
tancourt village by the road running
parallel to the railroad. In the mean
time two other regiments were order
ed to creep along the bank of the
river and seize the Chattancourt Rail-
road Station to the west of the viii
lage. Another brigade was instructed
to storm the woods which border
Chattancourt to the west, while other
detachments acting still farther to
the west were to support the attack.
In the opinion of French military
critics the result was not only costly
failure for the Germans but a sue
cess for the French such as they have
rarely attained.
Ffercest Fighting of War
The Germans suffered so heavily
thai they ceased further attacks while
the French by prompt counter at
tack established themselves again
south of Cumieres and won an i'm
poTtant point of vantage on the
southwestern slope of Dead Man
Hill.
1t develops that during Yesterdays
battle west of the Meuse the Germans
set back the French line between
Dead Man Hill and Cumieres for a
distance of three quarters of a mile.
The French battalions however, which
had returned before the unprecedented
artillery fire reformed and made a
desperate counter attack supported by
reinforcements. After nearly two
hours of violent fighting they re-
covered all the lost ground. The. in
fantry fighting In this STRUGGLED is
described as the hercest of the war.

VERDUN BATTLE
SHOWS NO SIGNS

Violent Fighting Continues. but
No Further Gains Are Re-
corded For Germans
AUSTRIANS PUSH AHEAD
Battering Their Way Through
Italians Southeast of
RoVereto

The momentous battle at Verdun
shows no signs of slackening in vio-
lenee, but the latest official reports.
in contrast with most of those issued
during the last few days, record no
further advances for the Germans.
The center of the bitterest fighting
has shifted somewhat the southwest
of the front between Cumieres and
Dead Man Hill. west of the Meuse,
where the Germans have scored most
of their recent gains. Dead Man Hill,
or the ground in its Immediate vi
cinity. has been the scene of the last
infantry engagements. The Germans
attacked the French positions here
last night, but were completely re-
pulsed, according 20 this afternoon S
bulletin from Paris. the German de-
feat following a success for the
French achieved yesterday, when they
captured from the Germans a forti-
fed position southwest of the hill.
Struggle Growing Intense
Unofficial reports from Paris point
to the growing intensity of the des-
perate struggle at Verun. They de-
clare, however. that despite the tre-
mendous efforts of the Germans the
French first line west of the Meuse is
still unbroken and hat the Germans
must score further advances here be-
fore they can force the main issue
by carrying the battle to the opposite
bank of the Meuse. where the Bras
Douamont-NauN line continues to bar
a direct advance upon the fortress.
Current bulletins on the campaign
in the southern Tyrol record con-
tinued gains for the Austrians. who
are battering at the line southeast of
overtero, running through the regions
OF Schio, Arsiero and Asiago. The
Italians admit withdrawal along some
sectors of this front, but as yet there
has been no breach in the main line
Of their defense which bars the way
to the Venetian plain.
