Main Positions Northwest, of Verdun Held After Six Days Assault. i SOME OF TRENCHES. LOST Russian Offentive Movement Also pies Down German Lines Little Affected By Spirited Attacks. LONDON'. April 13.

The attack on Verdun has subsided for the moment, after several days of particularly "severe fighting. Thsre were no engagements of importance in that region last night, the official French statement of, this after noon says. Preparations were made by the Germans for an attack on Hill 304, an Important strategic ptlnt commanding a large part of the territory west of the Meuse, but the Paris eonorrunlcatlori says tho French prevented the execution of this plan. The principal effort since the general Verdun offensive was begun Sunday -has been the attempt to' force a passage between Dead Man's hill and Cumieres, for the purpose of enveloping the hill. Some French trenches in this vicinity were carried.

but the main positions of the defenders were held, and Paris regards the operations of the week as. having resulted decidedly to the advantage of the French. Following the evacuation of the Bethincourt salient the Germans were compelled to make frontal attacks, except at Dead Man's hill, where they -attempted to advance -through the ravines. Take Two 'Craters. Mining operations and grenade fighting have taken place in the Argonne forest, during which the French captured the southern edges of two craters near Les Courtes Chausses.

The Germans along the Pilkelm-Yprea road after three attacks Invaded British trenches, but were expelled from them quickly while the British successfully raided German trenches near lUchebourg IVAvoue. The British rofflcial communication says the Canadians In their gallant fighting during the last week- have Inflicted heavy losses on the Germans near St. KloL Elsewhere on the western front as well as along, the Kusslan and Italian battle lines no operations of Importance are recorded. The -Russian attacks have not seriously shaken the German lines and, although spirited fighting still Is in progress at various points, the offensive movement apparently Is subsiding. On the Austro-Itallan front the Italians have taken from the Austrian the hlghts north of Ricionalo and strong lines of trenches and redoubts on the southern slopes of "Monte Pari and Cinnadore.

and on tha rocks of Monte Sperone, the Austrian suffering heavy casualties. Elsewhere along the line the artillery duels Dispatches from Salon lea report a recrudescence of the artillery fighting on the Greek front between Gievgell and Dolran. Turks Take Offensive. In Asia Turkey Petrograd reports a continuation of the Russian advance west of Eraerum. The Turks, howeverr in the region of Bitli took the offensive against the invaders.

but all their attacks were repulsed. Although the Turks report a serious defeat near.Felakle of the British advancing to the relief of General Towns-hend's force beleagured In Kut-el-Amara. a dispatch Is said to, have been received In South Africa from General Townshend saying that he was well and expecting relief shortly. 1 READY FOR COUNTER MOVE. General Petaln Satisfied With Verdun Defense, Paris Asserts.

PARIS. April 13. Another lull has fallen on the Verdun battlefield, as the Germans have been obliged to pause In order to fill up the gaps In their ranks, to replace damaged guns and to bring up munitions preparatory to further onslaughts. It is believed that the French command is not likely to modify its methods. General Petaln is said to be quite satisfied as long as the Germans go on losing three times as many men as the French for unimportant results, as be knows that he has ample reserves to press a counter-attack on large scale when the opportune time comes, and stocks of ammunitions which are practically Inexhaustible.

Shell Output Increased. Since the first month of the war the output of three-Inch shells In France Increased thirty-three and ojie-hatf times, of larger shells, forty-four times. Twenty-three times as many 75millmeter guns are being made as in August, 1914, and the manufacture of heavy guns has increased in the same ratio. The German general attack on the left bank of the Meuse, which began on Sunday, is regarded as having beeri beaten oft -and the Germans have reverted to the previous relatively small alternate strokes against the French positions on both sides of the river and to artillery operations. When the remaining French projections along Forges brook had been straightened out the Germans were able to engage the principal line to the west of the river from Avocourt to hill No.

304 and from Dead Man hill to Cumieres. Only frontal attacks under difficult conditions were possible, except at Dead Man hill, where the Germans were able to attack through the ravines. They tried to force a passage between Dead Man hill and Cumieres and to work around the south of the hill in order to envelop It. After two days of hard fighting this maneuver failed and with it is believed to have collapsed the -main idea of that particular German lattack. The small gain which the Germans made northeast of the hill Is not regarded as of a nature to modify the situation.

DEMOCRATIC POSSIBILITIES Governor Ralston, it Is said, will take himself out of the spotlight that was centering on him In the Democratic party as a possibility, for one of the four dele-gates-at-large from Indiana to the Democratic national convention at St. Louis in June.

The Governor, it is understood, does not intend to ask the state convention to send him as a delegate-at-large to the St. Louis convention. Corollary with this fact came news from the statehouae that Thomas Taggart's successor as national committeeman from Indiana in all probability will be -either William H. O'Brien, of Lawrenceburg, or Ed O. Hoffman, of Ft.

Wayne, with Indications -favoring O'Brien, who is a former auditor of state, and was at one time the Democratic organization candidate for Governor, i For National Committeeman. It Is -reported on trustworthy authority that Mr. Taggart, who is to be nominated by the state convention to succeed himself as United States senstor, will not be a candidate for national committeeman in such am event. The fight, thereupon, will center between O'Brien and Hoffman, it is reported, and it is believed the Taggart leaders eventually will center on O'Brien, unless the tangle is straightened out before the convention and only one of the men proposed will permit his name to go before the delegates to the national convention from Indiana. Governor Ralston's Plans.

According to Information available today. Governor Ralston does not intend to ask the state convention to send him as a delegate-at-large to the national convention at St. Louis. He says that last year and the year before he promised Joseph Swain, president of Swerthmore college, to speak before the student body at the school and hsd to cancel both engagements. He has promised Dr.

Swain to sptak at his commencement exercises this year, which will be held June li the day before the Democratic national convention at St. Louis. Other names hat have been mentioned for the deleuateshlps-at-large are those of the two senators. Kern and Taggart, and Stephen B. Fleming, of Ft- Wayne.

PROWLER IS ARRESTED BY A MERCHANT POLICEMAN W. S. Robbing Caught Burglar at the Krakovitz Saloon Just Year Ago. "It was Just about this time a year ago that I caught a fellow who had broken into this place," remlniscently remarked W. S.

Robblns, a merchant policeman, to a friend early today as they were passing the Ignatz Krako-viti saloon, 334 East Washington street-He paused long enough to try the lock on the front door of the saloon and then continued to relate the details of his experience with the burglar. The conversation -stopped suddenly when a man walked out of the alley at the side of the saloon. Robblns eyed the fellow suspiciously and then walked around to the rear of the place to see whether anything could have happened. He found a side window had been opened and a board had been pried off a rear door. When Robblns returned to the front of the saloon, the man he had seen coming out of the alley had disappeared, i The rear door had, not been opened and the open window led only into a locked kitchen, 'so Robblns was confident that the saloon had not yet been entered.

He had a subconscious feeling, however, that the prowler would probably return and try to complete the "Job." Robbins, after circling around the block, stood in a doorway on the opposite side of the street and waited. He had not waited long when the man, whom he had seen coming out of the alley, sauntered back toward the saloon. The man hesitated in a doorway of a building adjoining the saloon. Robbins watched him for a few minutes and then went over and arrested him. At police headquarters the man gave his name as Charles Moon.

He said he lived across the street from the saloon, but he was unable to explain why he was prowling about the placev A screwdriver and a pair of plyers were found in his pockets, but he denied that he had tried to force an entrance Into the saloon. He Is being held on a charge of vagrancy. In April, 1916. Robblns csptured Clarence Saes coming out a rear door of the Krakovitz saloon. Pass had broken into the place and had filled his pockets with cigars and six quarts of whisky.

He was convicted on a charge of burglary and was sentenced from two to fourteen years in prison. SOCIAL SIDE OF CHURCHES. Miss "Emma B.
