FfiEHCIl CAPTURE MILE OF TfECIE Reported That Germans Are Bringing Up Masses of Reinforcements. VERDUN FIGHT NEAR END On Hundred German Prisoners Taken at Fort Douamont Where 500 Yards of Trenches Were Taken. Paris, May 2. The French in coun ter offensive north of Verdun have won by storm more than a mile of trenches. For a time, at least, these trenches have passed into their hands Reports tonight say that the Ger mans are bringing up great masses of reinforcements in an effort to stop the French drive and regain the di rect end in the battle of Verdun. That General Vain has struck on a scien tifie movement and that the French are now definite masters of the Ver dun fights, is the opinion of military officials here. They expect the Ger mans to strike somewhere on the front, probably on the section held by the British, letting the Verdun bat tie gradually to sink into history. The latest French gains were made southeast of Fort Douamont, where a German trench was seized for a length of 500 yards. One hundred prisoners were taken. The same official statement which represents (his success, states that a report just received show that in the fighting of Saturday and Sunday, the French conquered German trenches on a front of 1,000 metres to a depth of 300 to BOO metres in Dead Man's Hill. A midnight communication shows that the Germans are continuing a i heavy bombardment west of the Meuse, while on the oposite side the big guns are belching as far south as Damloup. The French replied vigorously, which broke up the Ger mans around Vaux Douamont and the Chaff or woods. BASEBALL RESULTS. National League. At Boston Philadelphia 2, Boston 4.

It was an nounced at the State Department that the Mexican question has come to the pbir,t for the President and Secretary Baker to decide. f This statement coming after a ses sion on the Mexican matter by the Cabinet, yas interpreted to mean that the Mexican question has reached a state where it involves a matter of military policy. (In other words the State Depart ment has reached the end in its dip lomatic efforts to arrange a plan of co-operation between American and de facto government forces for the: pursuit of Villa, and the military question now present is whether troops are to remain in Mexico or be wit hdra wn.

Their one thought is the welfare of the upper classes. While the working men and their families can obtain not even a pound of meat in weeks the officials always see to it that the dogs of our aris tocrats and money kings do not have to go without their accustomed roast and beef tea. "Tens of thousands of our citizens suffer fearfully, but still greater is the misery of our helpless babies, whose crfes tear the hearts of their mothers," Milk is very scarce and dear and the small quantities obtain able are adulterated in a shameless manner by the farmers and dealers "Even the children of the rich suf- fer from these conditions.

T TO PREVEHT WAR John Hays Hammond Declare a Court of All Nations Only Possible Way to PREVENT FUTURE WARS He Believes That If Treaties of the Allies Had Been Recorded ; as Open Record There WoukJ Hat e Been No War. New York, May 2. At the opening "f the meeting of the World' Court League in Carnegie Hull this af t.;r- noon John Hays Hammond, the miu- ing engineer and financier, decljied that the proposed court of all the iid tions is the only possible w-ay v1 pi venting future great wars, Tt.. i. ...1.1 I impossible with such a co;;rt in per ation, he said. All the nations con-, tending now, he added, are irn'iuei with the same virtues and high idea!. Publicity in international relations ' alone would have done much to pre vent the present stupendous conllkt, -he said. The meeting of the league will con tinue three days. Ex-President Taft, Judge Alton B. Parker and manj other prominent men will speak. Mr. Hammond's address, in part, follows: "Whether or iot this war, th " greatest tragedy of all time, is to b included in the category of "irrepres sible conflicts" may tie an open ques tion, but it is not a war of race against race, religion against reli gion, nor nation against nation, for the opposing armies represent an ag gregation of diverse races, religions and nations, all animated, as they profess, by the. instict of self-preser-. vatmn; all united in what they be lieve to be a righteous cause. Neither this a war of one form of govern ment against another, of absolutism against democracy. .. "If the object of the war was for tentorial aggrandizement or fur com mercial supremacy, it has' been a '. grievous hlunter, fur the fruits of victory would not compensate for the legacy of hatred and reprisal that . Will inevitably result fr .m the war. N"r will any pair.s compensate for the stupendous financial costs.
