NO SIGNS OF BATTLE OF vERDUN

TO HAVE REFUSED GERMANS
(By Associated Press. }

London, June | THE great bat
tie of Verdun shows no signs of
slackening violence. Latest official
reports, however, record no further
German advances. The center of the
fighting has shifted to southwest of
the front between Cumieres and
Deadman Hill. where Germans
scored most recent gains. Deadman S
Hill or vicinity was the scene of the
latest infantry fighting. The Ger
mans attacked the French here last
night but were completely repulsed,
Paris asserts Germans met defeat,
followed by the French capture yes
terday of fortified position south
west of the HILL
Unofficial Paris reports point to
the growing intensity in the Verdun
struggle. They declare, however,
despite tremendous German efforts,
the French first line west of Meus
is still unbroken and the Germans
must make further gains before they
can force the main issue by carrying
the battle to the opposite bank of
the Meuse, where the Bras-Douau-
line bars the direct ad-
vance upon the fortress.
Continued Austrian gains south
east of Rovereto, through Schio, Ar
siero and Asiago region are recorded.
The Italians admit withdrawal along
some sections of this front, but there
is no breach in the main line OF their
defense barring the way to the Vene-
tian plain

WITHDRAWS PROSECUTORS
FROM CHINESE PROVINCE

Pekin, June 1.-The Standard Oil
Company has withdrawn all its pros

Province and has definitely abandon.
ed the boring of wells in search for
oil. The last of its drilling crew has
returned to Peking, and will sail for
the United States in a few days.
While there is still a possibility
that the Standard Oil Company and
the Chinese government may reach
an agreement to conduct some furth.

the future, there is believed to be
little likelihood that such action will
be taken soon.
No announcement has been made

the drilling were disappointing.

C0MBATANTS UTILIZING NAVAL.
GUNS FOR LAND SERVICE

Paris, une 1.-The use of naval
guns ashore in the present war, it is
pointed out by naval expert, is not
a mere expedient, resulting from ac-
cidental or Incidental circumstances,
but as well defined reason in the
greater initial speed of the project
lie of a nava! gun and the conse-
quently longer range than that of field
artillery. The new services they
render are due to the aeroplane,
which gives the gunner on land
longer ranges of fire than he used to
get.
The 15-inch naval guns with which
the Germans occasionally lombard
Dunkirk and Nancy are believed to be
from ships lying idle in the Kiel
Canal They are utilized because
they carry farther than the big NOR
tars.
The type of the naval guns would
have been more commonly used on
land for field work had it not been
so much heavier and more difficult
to manipulate than the shorter range
field and siege guns. Seven inch to
eight inch naval pieces may be
mounted on railroad trucks, but the
recoil of the larger calibres is so vio-
lent as to require a solid concrete
