Crown Prince Preparing To

Violent fighting continued on the
Verdun front but according to the
afternoon bulletin of the French War
Cfice II has resulted in few changes.
The French have regaIned some of
the ground lost yesterday between
Haudremont wood and the Thiamont
farm east of the Meuse, says the

New efforts by the German crown
prince to advance against the French
left flank between Dead Man Hill and
the Avocourt wood are probably in
preparation as the artillery lombard
ment there Is reported as particularly
intense.
Austrians Easing
The Austrian drive into Italian
territory apparently is not proceeding
with anything like its initial velocity.
The opinion is expressed in Rome that
continuance of the advance will
show a reversal of the conditions that
heretofore have favored the Austrians
owing to the superior communication
lines in the Italian rear.
Indications that some military move
OF importance is impending in the
Balkans are contained in dispatches
from Greece which report exceptional
activity in Saloniki The entente pow
ers have had force supposedly of
notable strength massed there for
