PARIS, April 28.—Bombardment of
the French positions at Avocourt
and Esnes, on Verdun's northwest
front, was continued by the Germans
during the night. The official com
munique issued by the War Office
this afternoon states, however, that
no infantry attack wds launched
against the Meuse fortress,
The apparent lull in the fighting at
Verdun is still regarded as a prelude
to terrific assaults in which the Ger
mans will make their supreme effort
0 drive back the French and force
them to re-form their lines to pivot
on Toul. The French are fully pre
pared for the great assault,
The text of the official communique
follows:
“During the night not a single de
velopment was reported on the entire
front, with the exception of an inter
mittent bombardment in the regions
of Avocourt and Esnes and a certain
activity by our trench engines in the
sector of Regnieville; west of Pont-a.
Mousson,
“Yesterday our aviators fought a
number of aerial combats. An enemy
aerpolane was brought down in the re
gion of Fromezey, Two other enemy
machines, attacked by ours, descend
ed, severely damaged, one near Douau
mont, the other in Mont Faucon wood.
In the region of Nesle-Chaulnes a
Fokker machine fired upon by ma
chine guns at Nieuport fell within its
own lines,
"On April 27 one of our hombarding
squadrons threw eighteen shells on
the station at LaMarche, in the Woev

Blind Seat
So insistent were the démands for
seats at the three oneras remaining of
the Atlanta season the Atlanta Music
Festival Association and the Metro
politan ,Company Friday announced
that dollar seats, behind the sight
line, would be sold for “Martha,” “Die
Meistersinger” and “La Boheme.”
These seats are located in circle and
balconies so close to the stage that the
settings in the rear can not be seen.
However, most of the action in opera
oceurs close to the footlights, and a
view of the singers can be had. As
for hearing, they are among the most
desirable locations,
These seats were not offered at the
beginning of the season because in the
past hundreds have purchased them
and then rushed over into such empty
feats near by as they could find, This
resulted in noise and confusion, spoil
ing the first act of several operas. It
is probable that no empty seats will
offer themselves this season, and the
dollar patrons wlll be forced to re
main where they are
It was announced that because of
the extreme length of “Die Meister
singer,” at the matinee, the Saturday
nighw: rformance would begin at 8:15
instead of 8§ o'clock.

Fears of British
Plot Brought on
. Revolt,SaysPoet
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, April 28—W. B.
Yeats, the famous Irish poet,
sends the following to the London
bureau of the International News
Bervice:
By W. B.AaMBATS,
HE responsibility for the en-
T tire revolution in Ireland
comes from a suspicion in
Ireland which England should
have foreseen gnd forestalled.
Treland, especially since the
coalition government, has feared
that a conspiracy between the
parties would deprive us of home
rule. There have been all kinds
of precise rumors which I be
lieve to be untrue.
When the home rule bill was
placed on the statute books,
though the war made the sum
moning of an Irish parliament
impossible, England should have
appointed the new executive of
the Irish government and left it
responsible for order in Ireland
and for the getting of recruits.
Too unimaginative for generosity,
too humane to govern by the
sword, the English Government
has left suspicion to do its work.
I see nothing but evil out of the
whole thing. The men who will
be the most courageous and hon
orable of our young men and the
bitterness created will live for
generations. Of course, the rising
will be put down. We know
nothing here in London, neither
the names of the leaders, nor the
victims, but that much is certain.

Ambassador Gerard from Washing

tion of the American Government was
fully set forth and that the Ambas

(It is possible that the “long mes
