FRENCH STANDING FIRM
Fiftieth Day of Verdun Battle
Sees Fortress Safe.
Two Hundred Thousand. Germans
Are Engaged in the Latest As-
sault, but the Enemy is ?Unable to
Break, or Even Move the French
Line at the Lethineourt Satlient
Bombardment is More Intense,
LONDON, .April , 11,—Yesterday's
despatch from Paris says; •
"This is the fiftieth day of the
battle at of
Verdun, and the French
troops are withstanding the fiercest
and most persistent onslaught made
by the Germans since the war began.
"The latest assault was delivered
by some 200,000 Men. Still the
French line is not only unbroken,
but unchanged; still the Germans.
are battering the outer line of de-
fences and still are as far as ever
from the only French positions pro-
tecting Verdun that are really essen-
tial.
"Without pause the German
Crown Prince, taking advantage of
the evacuation of the Bethincourt sa-
lient by the French and the occupa-
tion of that position by the Germans,
has thro-wn several divisions against
the new French line, but so far has
been unable to break that line at.
any point.
"The bombardment of the whole
front west of the Meuse is of increas-
ing intensity on both sides. Germans,
moving down along the Haucourt-
Bethincourt line, attacked the French
positions south of the Forges Brook.
Here they had to face the full fury
of the French guns, which cost them
heavy losses.
"The French front along the stra-
tegic sector extending from Le Mort
Homme to Cumieres remained un-
moved, and further attempts to as-
sault were arrested by the French
curtain of fire.
"The French still hold their posi-
tions in the Cailiette Wood, which
has been the scene of heavy fighting,
and against which German attacks
are being directed daily.
The village of Bethincourt, which
the Germans have been pounding for
days with artillery and with 'in-
'fantry attacks, was evacuated by the
French Saturday night, and Sunday
the new line withstood the most fur-
ious assaults which have been made
by the Crown Prince's army in many
days.
As now established, the French
line in this sector runs from the Avo-
court redoubt along the. wooded
slopes to the west of Hill 304, fol-
lows the Forges creek to the north-
east of Haucourt, and joins the .posi
tions already held' to the south of the
crossing of the Bethincourt-Esnes.
and Bethineour - h
t C attancourt roads.
The evacuation of Bethincourt, in
itself only a small, ruined village, has
had the effect of flattening the point:
of the salient, although the success-
ful holding ;by the French of the line
on the Forges creek to the west of
Bethincourt and the line just south
of the village, leaves a still very pro-
nounced salient projecting into the
German lines, with the,two very im-
portant hills, 304, east of Haucourt,
and Le Mort Homme (Dead Man),
south-east of Bethincourt, within it.
Bethincourt lies in the Forges val-
ley at its juncture with a valley run-
ning into the Forges valley from the
south, and was at the mercy of the
German guns on the hills at three
sides. The new French line a kirts
the higher ground to the south.
From the incomplete information
now available it seems probable that
the violent German attack on the
western side of the river Sunday
made simultaneously with the two
extremely heavy assaults on the east-
ern bank, thus practically covering
the whole Verdun front, was under-
taken by the Germans as soon as they
learned of the withdrawal from Beth-
incourt in the hope of finding the
new French line in this sector not yet
strong enough to resist them. The
evacuation of Bethincourt has been
regarded by military experts for
some days as a military necessity,
since it was evident that the group
of ruins representing the village was
so situated as to make it practically
untenable under the protracted fire
of the German heavy artillery. The
Germain commanders, anticipating
the withdrawal, appear to have timed
their attack, which might almost be
called a general assault on the Ver-
dun front, to coincide with the evacu-
ation. But the evacuation had been
safely completed in the night, and
the troops were waiting in the new
trenches at the rear when the attack
finally was made Sunday morning.
Sunday's attack was centred
against two sectors on the western
bank of the river, one extending from
the Bois Avocourt to the Forges
stream, and the other from Le Mort
Homme to Cumieres.
Details of the fighting have not yet
been received, but the official an-
nouncement indicates that it was of
a most violent character.
Only One Crater Retaken.
LONDON, April 1I,—The three-
day assault by the Germans against
the positions captured from them by
the British on March 27 did not pro-
fit the enemy much. Sir Douglas
Haig reports under date .of Sunday:
"At St. Eloi our troops hold a consid-
erable portion of the ground gained
March 27, including three out of four
of the main line craters."
The British communique also re-
ports the capture of a hostile Fokker
monoplane. The pilot, who was un-
wounded, was made prisoner, •

TJ1HE New Year's resolution
Wtll shortly be on deck,
When man will sign a paper
To save him from the wreck,
When be will gayly promise
Flis habits to amend
And all bis small shortcomings
To Halifax to send.
Then by his stubby whiskers'
Most loudly he will swear
That he will quit
a his: meanness
And soon a halo wear,
That he will cut out capers
That lead but to disgrace
And be from that time forward
A credit to the place;
With patent resolutions '
He'll put away the past
And in the fiery furnade
His awful habits cast, .
To all things low and naughty
Securely tie a can, •
Give doubtful chums the go-by,
And henceforth be a man.
Yes,. these are his intentions, ; f
And let us hope he may
Be able to fulfill them ,,
And mend his crooked way. ;
We know that all the chances
For winning out are shy.
But that's no blooming reason
Why he should cease to try.

"They would do a great deal better,
wouldn't they?"
"Well, that isn't exactly what I was
going to say."
"Wasn't it?"
"No„
"What were you about to say?"
"I was about to say that if the men
would only listen to their wives they
would be compelled to apply for a pen-
sion for the support of their families
as their time would be fully occupied
with bolding their job of listening."
No Chance For Gossip.
"I saw Brown kiss a married woman
last night"
"You did!"
Fact."
"Wonder what her husband will do
to him?"
"Treat him well, no doubt."
"What!"
"Yes. You see, Brown is her hus-
band."
Made It Expensive..
"This house was to cost but $1,000."
"Yes," said the contractor blandly.
"But the bills are for $2,000."
"Well, your wife was ou the job all
of the time and made us live up to
specifications."
Naturally.
"The best is none too good for me."
"Is that so?"
"You betl"
"Then I suppose you git a -plenty
while you are gittin'?"
WHEN a map is caught with the,
goods on him his ability to de-
liver them 'in' convitieing shape is the
only thing that will seve him.
There is plenty of time to do mean
things When you have discharged ,all
your rightful' obligations.
Anybody can get enough if quantity
and not quality is what he is after,
