MADE SERIES OF ATTACKS Against The Frenth Positions And Were Only Successful At One Point, Capturing A First Line Trench. (By International New Service.) London, May 25. The fighting at Verdun continues with implacable fury. There is not even time to bury the dead or succor the wounded. The German from their recaptured position in the ruse of Fort Doua mount have swept forward south and southwest and taken more. French trenches and have retaken the Quar ry in the Daudramount woods, chief part of the fort which the French carried by assault in the dash in Dou amount this afternoon. The Crown Prince made an effort to clean out every French position between the wood of Fort Doua- mount which lies southwest of Doua- mount. A whole series of attacks were delivered and a French trench captured. On their side the French have not been reduced to the defensive. On Wednesday night they delivered three counter attacks on Cuimere in an endeavor to recapture that village, two mile east of Dead Man Hill. On the west side of the Meuse they were all beaten out, the Germans say. For the rest there was an unseem ing artillery engagement along the whole front. Late dispatches from Paris state that the new tide which has turned at Verdun is excepted as an inevitable incident, but by no means as a de cision. French military authorities declare that the resut of the month's fighting has only given the Germans an average gain of three hundred me ters on the wes,t of the Meuse and that on the east of the river the line, except at Douarriount, is the same as it was on April 25.
