PARIS, May 2.—The war of
fice communique this afternoor
claims substantial gains for the
French troops in the fighting
along the Verdun front.
The report declares that the
French forces have been steadih
gaining ground against the Ger
mans for the past three days and
the sum total now represents
an advance of about one mill
along the section northwest ol
Verdun.
The French have also made
short gains at other points, nota
bly along the Avocourt height
. and in the vicinity of Deaduian's
hill. The statement says that the
Germans have been forced back
1 it by bit by the French artillery
and the recovery of the lost
ground has been slow and sys
tematic.
The expected German offensive
has clearly not been able to de
velop. The communique points
out that the French gains have
been made with the minimum of
loss as there has been little in*
| fantry fighting The Germans
i were compelled to abandon their
I positions by the artillery and in
the majority of cases their
trenches were occupied but slight
insistence. The Germans made
! sveral attempts to renew the of
fensive along the Douamant
I anx front but .their attacks
were smothered by machine gun
tire with severe losses attending
each effort to storm the French
positions.
