Verdun Battle, Greatest
F g :
Ever Fought, Won, Says
Famous English Critic
By HILAIRE BELLOC,
The Famous Military Critic and Expert.
LLONDON, May s.<The battle of Verdun is won. The great
est battle ever fought, an aetion with consequence that will af
fect the whole future of mankind almost as much as the original
vietory on the Marne has-been won by the French.
For the Germans it means that the effort on which they
concentrated the whole of their available resources for which
they had spent months in preparation and in which they had
such confidence that they risked open declaration of victory and
definite prophecies of success, has resulted for them in bloody
and irreparable defeat. % ?
the Germans have been bombarding it
with varying intensity for five days.
The text of the official communique
follows: ST &
“South of the Somme a adrpfise at
tack attempted by the eremy on our
Itranchu in the neighborhood of Cap-
Py was a ecomplete failure,
- “West of the Meusd after a very
violent bombardment, the Germans

strong attadk on our- positions north
of hill No. 304, 'They were repujued
on most of the front, but got a foot

trenches:
“East of the Meuse, in the Woevre

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 s.—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 enthusiasm 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
wer?about to be given a week's
leavé when it was learned that
an operation was impending and
they begged to be allowed to
carry it out. General Petain
yielded.
“And,” said a wounded officer,
“the men fought like lions. We
carried the whole position at the
point of the bayonet without fir
‘ing a single 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
’nny 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 revolutions
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 Santp Do~
mingo, . |
The State Department and the
White House have received a large
number of telegrams in behalf of Sul
livan urging that every effort be.
made to secure his immediate reiease.

The Temps said:
“The Germans are claiming
that they have smashed our re
serves. If.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. Ido 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 heavy guns and ma
chine guns. I 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.”
