ATTACKUPON
vERDUN IS
RENEWED
French Are Forced to Evac-
uate Positions Cd Hill 3O4,
and German Assault Is Con-
tinued With Renewed Fury

Paris. May 6,--French troops were
forced to evacuate part OF their posi-
tions on the northern slope of Hill
3O4 and keystone positions north
west OF verdun under q most violent
attack. Il was officially admitted to-
day.
The German attack was the most
determined assault on Hill 304 since
the battle Of verdun started. The
troops fought desperately all day
yesterday and throughout the night.
They we're still at II when the state
ment was issued.
Preceding the German advance
massed batteries OF heavy calibre
guns concealed behind the hills. hurl-
ed tons OF shells into the French
trenches. blasting them to debris.
This was followed by rain OF gas
projectiles, suffocating the survivors
who still clung with great bravery
to the wreckage OF their defenses.
As part OF the trenches had been
pounded into utter ruin. they were
considered untenable ana we're evacu-
ated. Elsewhere. however, French
batteries OF the famous "75s" sta
toned on the summit OF the hill and
m adjoining positions checked all
attempted advances.
Last night Germans determinedly
attacked positions In the woods north
OF Hill 304. They succeeded in cross
ing the bullet-swept area between
the trenches but when they reached
the French pits and barbed wire en-
tanglements in the woods they were
confronted by a bristling array OF
bayonets and repulsed after bloody
hand-to-hand fighting.
Fresh German divisions were
brought up on Thursday to partici-
pate in the assault. They suffered
crushing losses.

newspapers by the New York Times
today showed that "A disapproved

can submarine demands, 2S ap-
proved II, and 80 were nom
committal. l
The New York Suns deduction
from all editorials of newspapers in
all parts Of the country was that
most newspapers deemed the Ameri-
can demands substantially met.
German American newspapers were
generally of the opinion that the de-
mands had been met. They urged
America to proceed against the
British blockade policy. H4
