Mountains of corpses on the front
northeast of Verdun and west of the
Mouse river testify to the frightful-
ness of the German losses.
The ferocity of the assaults around
Hill 304 and Dead Mans Hill is only
equaled by the gallantry of the French
defenders. The text of the official
communique follows:
West of the Mouse the lombard
ment continued violently in the course
of the night, particularly that fire d.
rected against Hill No. 3O4. An at
tack launched by the enemy Sunday
afternoon against LIE Mort Homme
and which in general was repulsed
with heavy losses for our adversary,
enabled the Germans to penetrate into
our advanced trenches on a front of
about 500 yards long at Hill No. 295.
We took 100 prisoners.
East of the Mouse there was a
very sharp conflict during the night
in the little wood Of Fontaine st.
Martin, east of Vacherauville We
made progress in the enemy's COM
municating trenches south of the vii
lage of Douaumont.
In the Woevre region villages at
the base of the Mouse heights were
bombarded.

April 9 in the region of Verdun was
marked by the first great attempt at
a general offensive on the part of
the enemy, this extending on front
Of more than 20 kilometers 12.4
miles,.
Our adversaries, without obtaining
any results comparable with the eff
forts put forth, suffered losses to
which the vast heaps of dead before
our lines bear witness.
