GROWN PRINCE LOSES
Sen6s His Troops to Disaster Against
 French Lines.

London - The Crown Prince made one of the most violent and costly at tachs of the entire campaign north of the Aisne, but succeeded in winning only a feeble foothold in the French lines at one point, according to Paris.
 The German general attack was pre- ceded by an all-night bombardment of unusual intensity. At daybreak the Crown Prince sent forward a great mass of fresh troops against the French lines between Hurtebise and Craonne. This initial assault failed, the alert French gunners catching the advancing columns under destructive barrage and holding them from the frst-line trenches.
 About the same time the Germans made their first effort on the Casemates and California plateaus, around which the battle ragged throughout the day. Time after time the Germans were swept back from both positions, suffer ing enormous losses.
 Meanwhile, on the Verdun front, continued, the Germans attacking at several points without success. North of Bezonvaux and on the heights of the Mouse they were flung back with what Paris describes as "serious losses,'' after repeated assaults with strong forces.
 On the British front, from north of St. Quentin to the channel coast, the intense artillery duel continued, but there was almost no change in the gen. eral situation.
 Haig reports that the British line was advanced slightly southeast of Monchy, but mentions no other suc- cessful operations.
