PARIS, May 23.-Recapture by
the French after three months of the
greater part of Fort Douaumont,
which was taken by the Germans at
the outset of their Verdun drive, is
received with great elation by the
press and the public, the more so on
account of the effect it is expected to
have on neutral opinion.
General Nivelle, the French com
mander at Verdun, took advantage
of the fact that the Germans recently
have been concentrating all their at
tention on Dead Mans hill, on the
other side of the river, and assembled
large amount of artillery for the
attack on the Douaumont sector
On Sunday General Nivelle began
a heavy artillery attack on Fort
Douaumont and adjacent positions.
The hour fixed for the infantry as
sault was 4:30 p. M, yesterday. When
the moment came French infantry
which had been carefully selected
and trained, began the advance
singing the "Marseillaise"
The German resistance at some
points was stubborn. On the Froide
Terre road and at Douaumont the
French had to force back the Ger
man infantry inch by inch at the
point of the bayonet. The leading
French contingents reached Fort
Douaumont at five o'clock. They
killed the Germans who resisted and
sent to the rear large number of
prisoners.
When they recovered from their
surprise the Germans launched a
number of fierce counter-attacks
but all failed and by 10 p. M, prep
arations had been completed to deal
with the serious efforts the Germans
are expected to make to recapture
the lost positions.
The French success is considered
by military critics here to have
shaken the whole German line at
Verdun. Douaumont fort was the
most important point captured by
the Germans and the French gain
there is regarded as having nullified
the most significant achievement of
the Germans in the great battle of
three months.
To the west of the Meuse, Hill 295,
the western summit of Dead Mans
hill, has become no mans land like
Hartman's Weilerkopf. Once before

WANT TO HAVE THINGS RIGHT
BEFORE GRANTING MORE COPS


Aldermen Mccormick, Klaus and
Buck yesterday refused to concur in
Chief Healey's request for 1, 492 more
men for his department, They said
that the chief had not proved that
Chicago needed more protection.
They contended that the efficiency of
the department should be inVesti-
gated before granting an increase.
Aid. Stern explained his vote Il
vote for this measure feeling sure
that the finance committee will take
up the question of the present state
OF efficiency for the department
yhen it reaches them. The mayor of
Chicago has said that the police de-
partment stinks and it is up to him
and to Chief Healey to clear up this
smell before we admit that it's incom-
petence is entirely due to the lack of
men"
The committees morning session
was given over to Dud Taylor, atty
for Asso. Employers of ILL.,, who talk
ed against Aid. Bucks plan of having
a strike bureau in the police depart
ment. Dud said some of his employ |
ers were present and that they want
ed to talk. He was told to bring them |
back at 2 o'clock
. At 2 Aid. DePriest tried to railroad |
the order for the 1,492 additional |
cops through the committee with the |
aid of Aid. Miller Buck then said he |
would like to question the chief for
about an hour, so the Asso. of EN-
ployers OF Ill. were told to come back
Saturday.
Buck then tried to find out how
much Chief Healey knew about the
statistics he had handed the commit
tee.
Following the chiefs refusal to tell
why there are more crimes than ar
rests in the Hyde Park police pre-
cinct, where "'strikbreaker" Capt.
LAWN officiates, Buck tried to find
