Messing the preparation of another
offensive by Field Marshal Haig,
which the Germans are trying to an.

princes army is again attempting to
harass the French in the Verdun
region.
Attacks by the Germans were de-

of the Meuse in the Verdun sector,
where the artillery fire has beeu in
tense for several days past. The blows
were repulsed by the French defend
ers, Paris announces.
After yesterdays three futile at
tempts to drive the British back from
the high ground they occupy on both
sides Of the Ypres-Menin road in
Flanders, the Germans contented
themselves with keeping up a heavy
artillery fire during the night. Lon

hostile demonstration, but is silent

judging from past experience, is de-

The air raid Sunday night-the fifth

that the new air barrage" acts as a

in the latest attack.

Majority of Those Now in Authority Opposed to ReprisaIs for Raids
 from Air.
IS A MILITARY NATURE
In Future Years the British Will Be Thankful That They Did Not Stoop
 to Low Morals.

LONDON, July No intention of yielding to the widespread demands for reprisals on German towns for the German air raids on England was shown in debate on the subject in the House of Lords.
 The question having been raised by Lord Strachie, Baron Sdyenham, former chairman of the Air Board, deprecated the policy of reprisals. years the British would be thankful they had not lowered themselves to the level of the Germans.
 Furthermore, it was not generally realized that bombing reprisals of a military nature were systematic and daily occurrence behind the Ger man lines. He invited the govern ment to tell the country something about the operations.
 In behalf of the government, the Earl of Derby, Minister of War, ex- pressed belief that the whole country would associate itself with the sug- gestion that England should not try to initiate German brutality. He add ed on the authority of the head of the aircraft service in France that for every bomb the Germans dropped behind the British lines the British dropped a hundred behind the Ger man lines.
 This bombing, he said, had solely military object and the government considered that nothing should be done to tie the hands of the military authorities in the employment of the aircraft at their disposal in the best way to bring the war to successful conclusion.
 Baron Montague, of Beraulieu. said it was absolutely humbug to talk of London being an undefended town, and he declared that the Germans had a perfect right to raid it. He contended that the general system of air defense was at fault. What was wanted was an independent air board under a strong and and single central control.
