evacuated In accordance with plans
previously made Nevertheless it has
been ascertained that an order was
issued stating:
"'This important place must be held
in all circumstances, The fact that
more than 700 unwounded French
prisoners were taken and that the
French losses in killed or wounded
we're far greater is proof that the
French plan of evacuation could not
be carried out as intended"

ent Grave Situation.
Berlin, April 12.-The German gov

quiries regarding the steamship Sus-
sex and four other vessels has been
delivered to the American ambassa-
dor.
Washington, April 12.-Investiga-
tion of recent attacks on unarmed mer-
chantmen, carrying Americans, has
developed such CONJUNCTION array of
evidence pointing to illegal submarine
operations that the United States gov
ernment has determined the resulting
grave situation cannot be cleared up
by the German note denying that a
German submarine torpedoed the Eng.

ships inquired about by Ambassador
Gerard
Much importance is attached to af
fidavts and evidence gathered by the
American embassy at Paris and due
to reach New York Thursday on the
liner st. Paul
1t was learned, too, that Mr.. Ian
sing is awaiting the outcome of an
inquiry at Paris about the case of the
liner Patria, at which a torpedo is al
legged to have been fired some time
ago.
That some definite action will fol

disclaimer and other evidence is free
ly admitted but no one in the conf
dence of the administration will dis
cuss what may be its nature.
There is a general understanding
however, that no rupture OF diplomat
ic relations is imminent and that II
such crisis does arise the president
will go before congress.

London, April 12-Under the most
tremendous hammer blows in the his
tory Of the world the French line is
holding firm in the great battle raging
around Verdun.
Wave after wave of German gray
coats are rolling up against the French
barricades on the five-mile front
northwest of Verdun.
Bursting shell storms have shatter.
ed trenches, parapets and redoubts of
the defenders.
The French are driving back the
German legions in savage hand to
hand fighting on the southern banks of
FORCES brook.
Beginning with heavy infantry at
tacks delivered last Saturday the bat.
tie has hourly grown more violent,
apparently about to culminate in a
grand assault on both banks of the
Meuse.
Twenty thousand Germans were
killed or disabled in the first forty.
eight hours of the new Verdun attack,
Paris reported
So well did the French sustain the
shock that only at advanced posi-
tions did the Germans succeed in
penetrating. In most instances they
were driven out by immediate counter
attacks.

Tremendous Hammer Blows In the
History of the World.
Paris, April 12.-On the west bank
of the Meuse the Germans made an at
tack on Dead Mans hill, advancing
from Corbeaux wood. They obtained
footing in a few small portions of
trenches, the war office announced,
but otherwise were repulsed.
East of the Meuse the Germans at
tackled trenches south of Douaumont

French Halt German Attack.

Encouraged by their success on
Termiten ridge the Germans rushed
down the slopes for a frontal attack
against Hill 304. In the barren ra
vines they were caught under the fire
of scores of French guns. The at
tack was halted before ii reached the
lower slopes,
The French guns lifted as the Ger
mans fled back to their trenches and
bit great holes in the gray mass.
Similar scenes were being enacted
between Haucourt and Bethincourt.
Germans rushed down from the north
ern ridge of Dead Man hill only to be
smothered by French fire Only on
the east, where ravines afforded some
shelter from artillery fire, the Germans
broke the French advance line for a
distance OF more than a quarter of a
mile.
On the east bank of the Meuse the
Germans shifted their attack from the
Vaux region to new flank assault on
Pepper heights. Beginning with oper-
ations against the small French field
works the Germans finally launched
an attack through a ravine southwest
of the Pepper ridge in an attempt to
cut off the French defenders
The assault was broken up before
any of the attacking forces reached
the French barricades.

members, Hugh James OBeirne
while Sir Frederick Donaldson and
Brigadier General Ellershaw of the
ministry of munitions, were known
to be men whom the nation could lit
tie afford to lose,
The fact that the cruiser Hamp-
shire, with between 200 and 800 men,
mad sunk was generally accepted
simply as an unfortunate detail in
these days when a thousand go under
almost as an incident OF warfare.
Confer About Successor
The king came from Windsor and
sent for Premier Asquith when he
heard the news. The war council
held long session. Naturally, spec
ulation regarding Kitcheners success
sor began Immediately Among
those discussed were David Lloyd
George, Lord Derby and the chief of
the imperial staff, Sir william Rob-
ertson But whether military man
or civilian will take the war office
has not yet been decided.
Earl Kitchener met death at mo-
ment which will insure his position
in British history. He was almost the
only member of the government VINO
from the beginning confidently as
serted that this would be a long war
his lowest estimate was three years
and he insisted that the government
should make its plans accordingly.
Army Organization Progressing.
The organization of the enormous
new British army is well under way
The general staff, under Gen, sir
William Robertson direction, Accord
ing to the general belief. has well in
hand the task of working out the de-
tails which Kitchener's brain was
largely instrumental in planning and
launching.
There is no evidence to show
whether the Hampshire was torpe-
doed by a submarine or struck by
mine Many ships have been passing
between Russia and Great Britain
over the same route since the port
of Archangel was opened.
The official news was a greater
surprise than it would otherwise have
been because no one knew that Earl
Kitchener had left England.

From the pripet river seuthward

continuing TO develop successes
against the Germans and Austrians.
In the fighting along this front Of
some ESQ miles, the Russians already
have made prisoners OF 4S0 officers
and more than $4,000 men, and cap
tured 81 guns and more than so
machine guns.
In this offensive which is declared
TO he carefully co-ordinated move
ment, the Russians are said TO have
"a plentiful supply of ammunition and
men, and, with the roads now In
good condition their maneuvers are
expected TO develop swiftly. The
number of the Teutonic allies facing

Since the repulse of two German

No material gains for either side are

intention of visiting the battle front

So far as has been ascertalned

the house Of representatives.
In the absence of military COM

longer permitted to participate in pa

MAY INVESTIGATE
ADVANTAGES HERE

The International Air Ship Com

formation concerning site for fac
tory here from the Chamber of Com
'merce, has answered the letter sent
by Secretary James F. Phillips suat-
ing that a representative of the COM
pany will probably be sent here in
short while to inspect available sites.
The letter from Samuel Quinn, Jr.,
president of the organization, says in
part;
81 read your letter and circular
with a great deal of interest and it
is my personal belief that Pensacola
would be as satisfactory place as
any city which has yet made us a
bid, from a natural environment
standpoint.
Several cities in the South, incIud-
ing New Orleans, have intimated in
their correspondence with this COM
pany that they would provide a loca-
ton for this company in case we de-
cided to establish schools and plants
in their cities.
81 am not saying this as feint to
bring about proposition from your
organization, but rather to snow rnat
Pensacola will have some competition.
We are not necessarily looking for a
gift, but all other things being equal.
it would be only natural that the
company would consider more favor
ably any propositions that might
carry with them some demonstration
on the part of the city making the
offer which would show a spirit of
cooperation"
