The Germans suffered the heaviest losses in frontal attacks on the north- ern slope of Hill No. 304. After cap- turing French trenches they were ex- posed to a terrible fire from French guns mounted in the summit which spouted death all Saturday night. Dawn broke on Sunday over a bloody hillside and piles of boaies scattered before the wrecked trenches. German prisoners confirmed the belief of French officials that the present violent attack northwest of Verdun constitutes the beginning of a fourth great assault against the fort- ress. They declare they were ordered to takethe dominant position on Hill 304 at all cost. After a violent bombardment of the French position on Hill 304 the Ger- mans attempted an advance at 3:00 o'clock this morning, the war office announces. The attack was repulsed completely. French counter attacks east of the Meuse drove the Germans from cer- tain positions they -lad captured. These positions consisted of some parts of trenches northeast of Thia- mount. An intense bombardment was conducted by the Germang in the sec- tors of Eix and Chattllon and be- tween Douaumont and Vox.

The trenches captured were south of Termitten Hill, according to the official announcement. the Press building at 4:00 o'clock to- day. While it is epected that the next staff will not be as large as the pres- ent one, graduation of staff members will leave a number of places to be filled. The trials will not be in the nature of any formal test, but an attempt will be made to give all those who wish to try out a chance to work on the two numbers of The Inlander which are to be published this spring. Wil- lingness to work, ability to write, and acquaintance with campus life will be factors which will be held in mind in selection of the new staff members. The staff will be composed of men and women and will be limited to juniors and seniors. It is expected, however, the opportunity will be pro- vided tor those who are to be sopho- mores next year, to act as assistants in the various lines of work during the year with a view to going on the staff in the following year.

The others were saved. The sinking of the Cymric and the publication of the American reply to Germany's note have revived acutely the whole submarine question. All the evening papers today publish prominently the American reply but only the Westminster Gazette makes f comment. It failed to see any con- cessions on the part of Germany.

The fresh cap is the official badge of fresh- manhood. Every freshmin should buy one nd wear it up to June 2. TRADITIONS COMMITTERI. STUDENT COUNCIL.'

The Varsity hooked up with the All- Fresh yesterday afternoon for a short six inning tilt. and they barely nosed out the yearlings, the final score be- ing 1 to 0. The Varsity counted cni Newell's single, Ohhnacher's sacrifice and Niemann's single. "Billy" Nie- mann almost contributed another tally, but he was ruled out at the plate for failure to touch the rubber .after he had the throw beaten by sev- eral feet. "Bill" clouted a long triple over the center fielder's head and when the throw to third eluded the infielders momentarily. Niemann tried to score, but the arbitrator de- cided that he didn't touch the plate and a run was lost. Niemann's hitting was the bright- est point in the Varsity attack. The team hasn't been meeting the ball as they should, and unless they pick up by this afternoon, Kalamazoo will prove a big stumbling block. Brandell will play center field to- day, although he is far from being in good shape. "Bran" turned his an- k'e sliding to second an ' his speed will be materially affected in today's contest, but the center fielder insists that he will play. Ohlmacher worked out for the Var- sity yesterday and the Freshmen only got two hits, Captain Adams catching the Varsity infield flat-footed with a bunt and doubling to center later in the game. Parks, twirling for the freshmen, held the Varsity to four hits and pitched a good game of ball. GIVE NEW HISTORY COURSE WillD eal With All ('ounries South of Rio Grande; Freshmen Excluded A new history course of the Latin- American countries is to be estab- lished in the Literary college, under the auspices of the Carnegie Interna- tional Endowment Conciliation, in the interests of peace.

The mo- tion was rejected. Premier Asuith said that a very large number of the representatives from Ireland were not at the moment prepared to accept com- pulsion in Ireland, and that it was not desirable that the country should be plunged into a controversy .at this time.

It is expected that at least 175 men will be present in uni- form to take part in the maneuvers, and drill in two companies. About 200 students are now enroll- ed with the corps. Of the number which originally signed up prior to spring vacation only two have with- drawn, and both based it upon the fact that they could not be present on Wednesday nights.

Just how many Mexicans have been killed is not known. Two fights have taken place between Americans and Mexicans since the raid, one Monday and another today. Captain Fox of the Texas Rangers reported here today to Colonel F. W. Sibley, commander of -the American expedition into the Big aend country,.a fight between seven American, soldiers and three civilian posse men on the Mexican side of the river near Boquillas. "Several Mexicans were killed" was his laconic statement. Earlier in, the day another fight be- tween United States River Guards, Texas Rangers, and posse men was re- ported on the Texas side of the line between Boquillas and San Vicente. The Americans came upon the Mexi- cans hiding in the cottonwoods along the river bank. There were twelve in the band. The Americans killed eight of them, the report says, The entire American expedition is now either on the river or under way from lMarathon south in the direction of the bandit raid. Colonel Sibley re- mains here to direct the work of his men which will be done by telegraph over a line which the signal corps is stringing from here to Glenn Springs, only 15 miles north of the border. Major Langhorne, of the 8th Cavalry, will be in command at Glenn Springs, which will be the base of operations for the scattering parties. The mes- sage from Captain Fox reporting thee battle between the Americans and the Mexicans in Mexico did not say whe- ther the Americans had returned to this side of the river or were contin- uing their hunt in Mexico. It is re- ported here that the force has been a'ugmented by the soldiers of Troop A, 14th Cavalry, under Captain Casper Cole, and that they are penetrating into Mexico after the bandits. Colonel Sibley was-offlcially advised by the Carranza government tonight in telegrams that 1,000 Carranza troops had been ordered into the Big Bend country on the Mexican side of the toundary by Governor Espinos Mire- les of the state of Coahuila. The mes- sage states that since the news that the bandits who had attacked the Americans at Boquillas was received in the state of Coahuila, Governor Mireles ordered cavalry forces of the Carranza command to proceed in pur- ruit of the bandits and to capture or kill them wherever located.

Sensational rumors are current. says the newspaper, of a plot by the young socialistic-anarchist party against the life of the king of Sweden in revenge for the recent conviction of three, socialists, leaders of the anti- militaristic congress. The attempt on the king's life was planned to be made at the horse show, but the conspira- tors were foiled by the mobilization of the entire detective force and the placing of a cordon of detectives' around the king. Coming on the heels of the raid by Mexican outlaws on the American towns of Glenn Springs, and Boquil- las, Texas. and in the addition of dis- turbing news of an impasse in the negotiations between Major-General Scott and War Minister Obregon of Mexico, the President's action made a ,.eep impression here. General ' Obregon is understood or reliable authority to have deadlocked the conference yesterday by a demand that a time limit be imposed on the presence of the American troops in Mexico.
