PEACE BEYOND DHikA.

London, May 24.-An order. Of the
day said to have been issued recently
by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to
his men on the Russian front is quoted
as follows, in Central News dis
patch from Basel, Switzerland: ,f,,-.
For some time a rumor has been
spreading among the troops that peace
negotiations are about to begin and
this fact, coupled with the instinct of
self preservation which Is constantly
growing, is having a bad effect on the
morale of the men.
a"In the name of the emperor de-
clare that there can not be any Ques-
tion of peace until we have crossed
the Dvina. Soldiers, If you wish peace
go and seek it on the other side of
the Dvina"

SERBIAN PRINCE
|. IS C0NF|D OF
FINAL SUCCESS
TELLS AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
MAN THAT HIS COUNTRY WILL
BE RESTORED.

Athens, May 24-Prince Alexander
Of Serbia, regent of King Peters land
less kingdom, in an interview today
with a representative of The Asso-
ciated Press, said that he had assur-
ances from all the allies that no set
tlement of the war would be accepted
which did not provide for the restora-
tion of Serbia.
The prince appeared grave and stern
with that expression of sadness which
seems to be the heritage of every Slav.
He was thin and worn from the hard
ships through which he has passed,
but seemed in excellent health.
II receive you," he said, Ito prove
how deeply l appreciate the tone OF
the American press, which, while de-
Tending the sacred principle of the
liberty of all peoples, has thereby rem
dered Justice to our rights to exist as
an independent nation. Serbia de-
sires to live in peace but only on con-
dition that it's aspirations, culture and
language are respected as it respects
those of Others" -
The prince chatted unaffectedly of
the hardships which he and his troops
had endured in their retreat through
Albania. Always, however, he return
ed to the one thought which hlls his
mind-the driving of the invaders
from his country.
Il was very glad" he said, ito be
able to assure myself during my visits
to the capitals of the allies that our
legitimate expectations have found
the sincerest sympathy and will have
the most efficacious aid. I was assui-
ed that the allies are united in their
determination that Serbia must be re.
stored" - a,. st aaa....

Such Is Report Sent Out By
Wilson's Special Agent
at Mexican Capital
DE FACTO LEADER
is SENDING LETTER
Contents Of Note Are Kept
Close Secret; Troops
Nearing the Border

Washington. D. G., May 24.-The
new note from Gen. Casransa will be
sent to Washington by special mes
ssnger, Special Agent Rodgers at
Mexico City advised the state depart
ment today. Mr.. Rodgers gave no
forecast of the contents of the COM
munication. 1t is expected to reach
Washington late next week.
Previous reports from Mr.. Rodgers
have described the attitude of Car
ranza officials as increasingly friendly
toward the United States and added
that the feeling prevailed among them
that the critical period as to the Dor.
der situation had passed.
Although Gen. Funston has not re-
ported movements of Carranza troops
east Of Gen. Pershing's column, state
department advices that considerable
Mexican forces were being moved
northward were transmitted to today
to the border commander.
Gen. Funston advised the depart
ment today of rumor that natives of
MADEIRA were melted against the
Americans. His dispatch did not con-
firm border reports that Carranza
soldiers were responsible for the agita-
ton. 5 .s..

Paris Reports That Strife
Is the Bloodiest That
Has Yet Occurred
GERMAN ATTACKS
CALLED FAILURES
French Claim That Early
Advantages of Enemies
Have Been Offset

Paris, May a. Tho battle around
verdun continues to rage with a vio.
lence unexampled even in this re.
gion. The Germans are striving with
every resource in their power to cap
ture Hill 304 and Dead Man hill. on the
left bank Of the Meuse and to win back
the famous Ft. Douaumont on the right
bank. which was wrested from them
by Gen. Nivelle's brilliantly planned
and executed offensive.
Without full possession of the line
from Pepper hill to Vaux fort, the Ger
mans can not hope to capture Verdun.
Even II they succeeded in taking this
line they could not hold it unless they
were also in possession of Hill 3O4 and
Dead Man hill, which outfank the line.
Driven to desperation by seeing 30
much of it's work undone. the German
command has hurled attack after at
tack against Ft. Douaumont. At the
same time 1t has kept up its onslaught
on the left bank of the river to pre-.
vent the French transferring any
forces to the main scene of attack.
All day yesterday the tide of war
ebbed and flowed, inches of ground be.
ing won and lost at an appalling cost
in men. As one French officer said:
plots OF land come high here" Again
and again after reducing trenches to
a crumbling heap Of ruins by deluge
Of shells, the German infantry dashed
forward, only to be caught and swept
away by hurricane of curtain fire
from the French batteries and ma.
chine guns. ..... b..
The conditions of the present war
have transformed the traditional furi.
GUS courage of the French soldiers In.
to imnovable stoicism. Men have
stood their ground manfully in a situa-
tion which seemed beyond human ma.
ture to support. When night fell the
positions on both sides we're unchang.
ed. The French held all their gains
while the Germans incurred fearful
losses without getting near to any de-
cisions. Describing the battle around
Ft. Douaumont, one combatant said:
-Four four miles behind us there
was not trench or a communication,
nothing but shell holes, one within an
other. Every inch of the ground was
3plowed up by an expenditure Of am.
munition which is inconceivable. 1t is
the abomination of desolation. Not for
a second do their guns cease roaring
or men cease falling. AS soon as a
trench is made the shells begin to drop
and the survivors have to begin all
over again Attacks have become a.
most impossible because in the terrific
tornado Of artillery fire the infantry on
either side is unable to advance or re-
treat. Verdun will certainly not be
taken from this point.
II can not understand how our men
are able to keep 1t up. You are exter.
minated in your boots without seeing
the enemy. The terrific noise leaves us
half stunned. Men look at each other
with bewildered eyes. 1t requires a
strong effort Of the will to speak to a
comrade."
