Verdun Battle, Greatest

Famous English Critic
By HILAIRE BELLOC,
The Famous Military Critic and Expert.
LONDON, May s.—The battle of Verdun is won. The great
est battle ever fought, an action with consequence that will af
fect the whole future of mankind almost as much as the original
victory on the Marne has been won by the French,
IFor the Germans it means that the effort on which they
concentrated the whole of their available resourees for which
they had spent months in preparation and in which thev had
such confidence that they risked open declaration of victory and
definite prophecies of success, has resulted for them in bloody
and irreparable defeat.

Petain’s Soldiers Give Up
Leave to Get Chance to
Take Trench With Steel
By C. F. BERTELLI,
Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service.
PARIS, May bs.—News from
Verdun yesterday shows that
General Petain’s gains at Mort
Homme this week are the most
important French successes of
the entire Verdun battle.
There was great enthuysiasm at
7 o'clock yesterday evening when
word came from the Meuse bat
tle field that the French had
captured valuable positions
northwest of the hill.
The attack was delivered by
part of an army corps that has
several times covered itself with
glory in this battle. The men
were about to be given a week’s
leave when it was learned that
an operation was impending and
they begged to be allowed to
carry it out, Génera! Petain
vielded.
“And"” said a wounded officer,
“the men fought like lions. We
ecarried the whole position at the
point of the bayonet without fir
ing a\slxlgle shot.”
“We dashed ‘at them laughing
aloud,” said a wounded corporal.
“The Germans were petrified
with surprise.,”
The. paucity of prisoners is ex
plained by the fact that the
trenches were packed with dead
any drastic action taken against him
by Great Britain would mean that his
friends would consider reprisals.
They declare that while Sullivan has
never been an ardent advocate of
home rule for Ireland all of his life,
he has never advocated revolution
ary tactics, His presence in Ireland,
they say, was due entirely to a desire
to visit his birthplace In an effort to
recover his health, impaired while
serving as Minister of Santo Do
mingo.
The State Department and the
White House have received a large
number of telegrams in behalf of Sul
ivan urging that every effort be
4nade to secure his immediate release.

CHICAGO, May 5 —Sixteen thou
sand Chicago workers were idle today
and there was every prospect of the
number increasing through sympa
thetic strikes as the day wore on. Ef
forts were being made to arbitrate,
but both sides appeared adamant.
The International Harvester Com
pany, whose 11,000 employees are out,
ecarried large advertisements in the
newspapers today appealing to the
men to come back to work and not be
lured avay by the “big, but tempo
rary, wages paid by munitions manu

The Temps said: :
“The Germans are claiming
that they have smashed our re
serves. 'lf the Government would
let us publish the total of our
losses at Verdun it would be
seen that they were less than
those of our offensives in May
and September last, although
those engagements did not last
half as long as Verdun.”
+ The newspaper adds that the
strength of the French artillery
has been greatly increased since
the Verdun battle began. Gen
eral De la Croix, former President
of War Council, writes:
“Our losses have not impaired
our powers of offensive. 1 do not
believe the Germans can say the
same, .
© “We can expect a gradual de
cline in their strength which to
day consists largely of their
quick-firing hea}'y guns and ma
chine guns. 1 have positive in
formation, however, that their
batteries have suffered greatly
from our gunfire. I do not pre
tend that our guns have not suf
fered, but we can always replace
tHem. ‘
“The Allies can now smash any
German offensive, wherever it
may be delivered.”
