session of Dead Mans hill and Hill
No. 3O4 today gave possibilities Of

The French today claimed to have
won back from the Germans all the
advance positions in this vicinity
which the Germans gained in their
advance on Thursday. The two hills,
furrowed and blackened by artillery
action OF the past 80 months, today
seemed doomed to again be Redeemed
with blood.
The real purpose of the German as
sault. however, is regarded here as
being to regain foothold east OF the
Meuse. The attacks thus far are
thought here to have cost the Ger
mans thousands of men. Slopes Of
the two hills where the fighting oc-
Cured afford no protection for the at

estimated that the Germans had used

The board of regents today replied
to Governor Frazier's latest attack up
on its legitimacy-a letter addressed
to the heads OF educational institu-

acts of the board. which the governor
declared illegally constituted. The
counter attack OF the board took the
form of the following circular letter
to institution heads:
'The Board of Regents is the de

settled law that while the members
retain the title to the office they are

The governors mandate cannot re-

"The present members OF the board

refused to confirm the appointment Of

"There is but one proper way to set

"The present supreme court of this
