Veterans Of Defense of
French Fortress Fought,
In Flanders Also
TEN BIG SHELLS
PER SECOND FELL
French Relieved Battle
Weary British Two Days
Before Attack
CIV .Araocrarsd Press !

With the British Army In France,
May 3.--Veterans OF the defense of
Verdun predominated among the
French soldiers who so gallantly de-
Tended KENNEL hill against the Ger
mans. Many OF them declare that
Verdun was child's play compared
to the conflict in Flanders.
French troops took up positions
about KENNEL on April 20, relieving
the battle-weary British. Through
out April % and "a, before the at
tack, the Germans maintained a tre-
mendous bombardment and three
hundreds OF thousands Of gas shells
mixed with ordinary explosive shells.
On the morning OF the attack on
KENNEL, the German gunners placed
ten big shells per second on the
crest OF the hill and during that day
the French put on their gas masks
fifty different times, for as fast as
the wind cleared the gas away anoth-
er deluge of the poisonous vapor
poured over the hill. Part OF the
time the poilus had 20 sleep in their
gas masks. Despite the great guam
titles of gas thrown the French had
only twelve casualties from 1t. accord
ing to the latest reports, which
speaks eloquently of. the efficiency OF
the French gas protectors.
Machine Guns Chiefly Uaeds
A large part OF the lighting was
done with machine guns of which the
Germans always had great numbers
and at times the German enfilading
ire was terrific. The French artil-
lery and machine guns, however, in
their turn, reaped a great harvest
from the enemy.
At times the French 75s got into
heavy concentrations Of infantry and
literally tore them to pieces. The
German losses in many instances are
placed as high as forty per cent.
The rationing Of one famous regi-
ment which fought at Verdun was a
great feat. It had always been not
ed for its fine rations and the COM
mander decided that nothing should
deprive the men OF their accustomed
fare It was impossible to use the
transports because Of the artillery
fire. so that rations were brought
forward on machine gun carriages,
under a heavy IRE, The regiment had
its beefsteak and wine every day and
furnished neighboring regiments as
well.
Nearly all the stretcher bearers
were killed. One stretcher bearer
worked six days and nights without
rest.
German airpIanes were out in
force. They flew at an altitude Of
100 metres and used machine guns
continuously against the infantry.

Sentences OF two of the men, Pri-
Yates Dion L.edoyen and Stanley @.

President Wilson's action was
taken on the recommendation of Sec

In granting full pardon to Sebas-

britt SH LOSSES
SINCE MARCH Il.
SET AT 100000
BY new ESTIMATE
Figure Includes Killed,
Wounded, Captured and
Missing Men
lRx Aasociatad Press. ]

washington, May 4.-British losses
in men killed, wounded. captured and
missing on the western front since
the German offensive began, March
81, are estimated by the British mili-
tary here at nearly 250,000.
Everything indicates the offensive
will be continued almost Immediately
and that il the brlnt OF the attack
lis borne again by the British the sit
uation will become serious unless the
British troops are supported by sJ1f-
hcient reserves. it is asserted,
Comparative Losses.
This estimate would appear to be
In remarkable contrast to the enorm-
GUS German losses In tina drive. The
German war Office has not disclosed
what it's losses have been, but the
estimates Of allied observers have
placed the loss of German life at q
staggering figure. From the very
nature of the fighting, military ex-
perts have pointed out, the losses of
the attackers were bound to be heav-
Ter than those OF the defenders, but
in addition to that the method Of
German attack, advancing troops In
waves faster than machine guns
could NOW them down.. must have
entaiIed enormous losses. M
sLhe SITUATION was SuLuInSQE I'D Al
this way: The casualties in the
British army are emphasized by the
German wireless. Although figures
from German sources undoubtedly
would be much exaggerated, vet 1T
is certain from the severity Of the
lighting and from the fact that the
entire combatant forces OF the Brit-
ish army have been almost continu-
ously engaged, that the British losses
in proportion to reinforcements im-
nediately available must be very
heavy. 1T is probable that one would
be approximately accurate in quoting
these as close on a quarter Of a
million.
.Eyerything points, to the German
offensive being continued almost inn
mediately and should the brunt OF
the attack again have to be borne
by the British, the situation viii be
undoubtedly serious unless SUITE
.cient troops are available close at
hand in reserve to strengthen the
line as required and bring relief TO
the British divisions who have been
in the line almost constantly since
the beginning OF the present battle" "

have gone through the statement

The statement follows:
: '"The lighting activity again i'm

An Austro German offensive on the
