Crown Prince Hurls Army Corps
of 10000 Men Against Mile
and Half Front at Dead
Mans Hill.
THE FIGHTING STILL RACES
Similar Assaults Are Being
Waged East of Mouse
Neither Battle Definite
ly Concluded.

Paris. May S.-After 81 days Of bat.
lie, the Germans are making a new at
tack before Verdun with a formidable
army. Fighting. almost equal in vio-
lence to that Of the beginning Of March,
is in progress on both banks Of the
Mouse.
The principal effort of the Germans
is being directed against Dead Mans
hill. Following the Napoleonic policy
of attempting to turn what cannot be
carried by frontal attack, the Germans,
with a whole army corps, made the as
sault by way Of the ravine between Hill
304 and Dead Mans hill. seeking to
crush the French line along a front Of
one and one-half miles. The ground
there Is favorable for attack and the
French commander, aware Of the weak
ness Of the position, placed one Of his
best trained army corps at that place
This corps dispersed the initial attack
without ceding any important ground,
but the battle is still raging and, ac-
cording to the latest, advices, the re-
suit will not be known until some time
today.
Fighting Inconelusive.
East Of the Mouse the Germans de-
livered four attacks on a front OF 1000
yards, each advance being made by a
ing there Is as fierce as on the other
side Of the river and as inconclusive.
General Nievelle, whose promotion
to the command at Verdun, put him
In charge at such a critical time, is a
man Of 60 and is one of the discoveries
Of the war. At the outbreak OF hostili-
ties he was in command Of the Fifth
regiment Of artillery. General Joffre
soon singled him out for leading
role. He was promoted to be general
of brigade on October "a, 1914, and
shortly afterwards was placed in COM
mand Of the Sixty-first infantry d.
vision. On December %, 1915, he re-
ceived his three stars and at the same
time was appointed commander Of the
Third army corps.
Fighting Of great violence continued
last night on the Verdun front. Furious
German attacks near Hill 304 were
broken by the French, the war office
announced today
The losses OF the Germans are de-
scribed as extremely heavy. The
French attacked east of Hill 304 and
ton trench which they penetrated yes
terday.
East OF the Meuse, in a series Of
night engagements. the Germans were
driven from a trench south of Haudre
mont, which they occupied today, and
80 men, including two officers, were
captured.
Other developments of yesterday are
described textually as follows:
The night passed quietly on the re-
mainder of the front, except in the
region Of the wood of Remieres and the
wood OF Joury, west of Pont-a- Nous
son, where our artillery was very &C
tive.
1.-TWO German aeroplanes have been

counters in the region of Verdun. One
Of them fell not far from Ornes and the
other. seriously damaged, was com

cENTERvILLE MINISTERS ASK
BAN ON SUNDAY BASEBALL

Centerville, s. D., May 6.-The pas
tors Of the local churches have taken
action which 1t Is believed will result
in q ban being placed on Sunday base
ball In Centerville during the present
season. The baseball management last
year promised not to play ball in
Centerville any more on Sunday, and
an effort Is being made to have the
pledge renewed so 1t will cover this
season. Those opposed to Sunday
baseball have publicly stated that they
have consulted the states attorney In
reference to the matter, and that he
stated that the state law prohibiting
SUNDAY baseball yet was in effect and
that when complaints are made to him
he will take steps to have the law en-
forced. In view Of this, 1t is thought
arrangements can be made whereby
no Sunday games will be played hero
this season.

tenn, and people depending upon the

titled to Sunday service. The business
men also feel that such a train would
increase the business Of the Milwaukee
enough to Justify the establishment of
this service.
