GERMANS CONTINUE
VERDUN ATTACKS
TEUTONS FAIL IN VIOLENT AS
SAULT NEAR FORT DoUAU-
MONT, NEAR VERDUN.
TRY HEAVY COMMANDMENTS
Calm Along Russian Front-Turks and
Russians Hold Their Own-Two
Italian and One British Steamer
Sunk-Turks Lose Heavily.

London, May 27.-Heavy fighting in
the region of Verdun continues, with
the Germans still the aggressors, but
according to the latest French official
communication no new changes in po-
sitions have taken place.
Following up their recapture of Fort
Douaumont, northeast of Verdun, the
Germans have striven, but Intellectual
ly, to drive out the French from the
approaches to the fort, where they
drew lines when forced to vacate the
fort ITSELF
The attack was strong one, but
Paris reports that it was repulsed, the
Germans suffering heavy casualties.
This was the only infantry attack in
all the Verdun region, says Paris, but
the artillery of both sides has been
extremely active on all sectors, and es-
pecially in the region Of Avocourt and
Hill 304
The British and Germans have con-
fined their recent fighting mainly to
bombardments and sapping opera.
tions. There have been several minor
infantry attacks and mountaineering
expeditions by both sides, but in these
no material advantage accrued to
either.
Comparative calm prevails along the
Russian front, the only fighting of mo-
ment being north of Lake Miadziol,
where the Russians put down a Ger
man attempt to capture their trenches.
In the Caucasus region, where the
Turks and Russians are engaged, the
situation is reported unchanged.
Eighteen persons have been killed
and score injured in an Austrian air
raid in Italy.
Turks Lose 1000.
The war office has issued report
concerning fighting May % in the Su.
dan, which resulted in the defeat of
some 5000 troops of Ali Dinar, sultan
Of Darfur, by Colonel Kelley's force.
The fight took place at Ell flasher. The
British losses are given as five men
killed and % wounded, whole the loss
to the sultan's force is estimated at
1000.
The sultan, whose attitude toward
the Sudanese government for long
time has been truculent, Is reported
to have fled with small number of
his followers.
Three Steamers Sunk.
Lloyds reports that the British
steamer Ell Argentine, the Italian
steamer Cornigliano and the Italian
ship Australia have been sunk.
Neither Side Gains.
London, May 28.-Verdun and the
southern Tyrol remain the centers of
current military activity. Before the
French fortress the tide of battle is
flowing, now with one combatant and
then with the other. On the Austro-
Italian front the advantage seems still
to remain with the Austrians.
BuIgarians Push On.
London.-The Bulgarian invasion of
Greek Macedonia has reached to De
mir-Hissar, and from the town forces
of Bulgarians are said to be making
their way southeastward toward the
Aegean seaport Kavalla, northeast of

Der of the invaders at $4,000. Along
the Struma river the Greeks have evac-
uated the forts Of Rupel, Dragotin, Spa
vote and Kanevo to the Bulgars with

to Save Valuable Art Collection

day destroyed the administration build
ing of Penn college here took toll of
four lives. The bodies of Robert H.
Williams, 35, regent of the college and

man. They were in a party of half a
dozen who were carrying books from
the library when the four-ton bell in
the cupola fell through the building,
splitting and collapsing it's front wall

students, are in the hospital and may
die.
The fire broke out in the biological
laboratory on the second floor of the
building and reached 40-gallon tank
of alcohol which exploded, scattering
liquid fire in all directions. Insuffi-
cient water pressure hampered the eff
forts of the fire department.

records. The fire reached the cupola
and the four-ton college bell crashed
down through the building, wrecking
the front wall and burying the victims
under tons of debris.

hurt while rescuing the S. H. M. Byers
art collection which was hung in the
chapel hall. The collection is said to
be worth $4,000.
