(Associated Press. \

British Headquarters in France
May 4.-There are unmistakable sign.
of a, resumption of the German effort
to force the allied position on the hill
chain west of KENNEL. Last evening
the Germans opened a tremendous
bombardment on Scherpenberg and or

followed.
With the British Army in France,
Friday, May 3.-Veterans OF the

among tho French soldiers who 50
galIantly defended KENNEL hill
against the Germans. Many of
them had fought at FIeury and
they knew what hard fighting was,
but declare that Verdun was chiIds

The bombardment at Verdun had set

troops experienced during the German
drive against KENNEL.
Fifty Different Times.
The French troops took up positions
about KENNEL on April 90. relieving
the battle-weary British. Throughout
April 23 and "a. before the attack. the
Germans maintained tremendous
bombardment and threw 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 another deluge
Of the poisonous vapor poured over
The hill. Part of the time the poilus
had to sleep in their gas masks De-
spite the great quantities OF gas
thrown the French had only twelve
from it, according to the
atest reports.
A large part OF the fighting was with
machine guns, of which the Germans
always had great numbers and at
lines the German entilading fire was
errific.
The French artillery and machine
guns, however. in their turn reaped
great harvest from the enemy. At
lines the French 75s got into heavy
