Fort Douaumont, early In the struggle for Verdun, the scene of some ot the fiercest fighting, is again under a hail of shells, due to the shift ot the German attack from the west to the east bank of the Men so river. With the ehlftlng attack came word from Paris today that the desperate energy shown by the Germans and their apparent disregard for their own losses, is engendered by the fear of a British offensive. Though Douaumont is the chief ob jective ot the new German attack, the entire line from Thiaumont farm and Vaux Is under heavy German artillery fire, followed here and there by Infantry rushes. AH Thursday af ternoon the French and German in fantry struggled over the Douaumont hillsides with awful losses. Late last night H was reported that the Ger mans had recovered the ground taken from them in a surprise attack by the French earlier in the battle. OUR 60c VALUE 1 lb.

The British admiralty this after noon admitted the loss ot 11 named vessels, ranging from battle cruisers to destroyers. In addition six ships of the latter class have not returned to port and are mtsslug. (The Herman admiralty statement claimed ten named British ships de stroyed, with the list headed by the super-dreadnnught Warspite. In ad dition the cruiser Marlborough is claimed by Berlin to have been dam aged y a torpedo and a number of destroyer are reported missing.) The German admiralty admits the loss of two cruisers end one prob ably lost, while a number of torpedo boats, it is admitted, have not re turned. The main part ot the fleet, "how ever, has returned to its base. Of German losses the British ad miralty makes no definite claim, ex cept the sinking of one battle cruiser. The admiralty, however, declared one battleship Is reported sunk, one battle cruiser, la addition to the one lost, badly damaged, two cruisers prob ably destroyed and "probably a large number of destroyers sunk." HUGHES DISCLAIMS ("ontta'ied from page 1.) activities In his. behalf, announced today through" the United Press, hit candidates' row this afternoon with bombshell effect. According to what camp the boom let fosteres belonged, the announce ment meant: Simply another step In the justice's plan of keeping his record absolutely clean; the puncturing of Frank Hitchcock's card catalogue campaign; A successful attempt to "smoke out" the jurist. Favorite son boomers hailed the United Press story with glee. Hitch cock's smoothly plastered blonde locks didn't turn a hair. "Simply what is already well known," he explained. "We have never said we were acting with con sent of the justice. We are acting on behalf of a public sentiment that demands bis selection." "I think that will clear the atmos phere very much," remarked Charles M. PeppVr, ot the Root supporters. "Very Interesting very," was the comment at the Rooevelt Non partisan league's rooms. "No comment," remarked Goorge W. Perkins. "Huh!" remarked Senator .Pen rose of Pennsylvania, as he descend ed from an automoullo direct from the railroad station. "Nothing at all to say." , While the Roosevelt chiefs had nothing to say for publication, they privately expressed the joyous belief that Secretary Green's declaration would put a quietus on the attempt to garner any further delegates for Hughes. It was not as complete a disavowal as they really wanted, but they construed It as sufficiently final to have a tremendous effect here. Hughes' supporters here held the statement did not contain, any new enunciation of position by the jus ticeexcept possibly that qualifying his "raise" In the slightest decree, as emphasizing that no man was rep resenting the supreme court justice. They pointed out that very probably the jurist, with his customary In sistence on complete observance of all the proprieties of his position as a member of the hlghost court, merely had Oreon put out the statement at this time to keep his record absolute ly clean. P E Paris, June 2. By a violent In fantry attack, tho French troops pro gressed 100 meters Into tho Oerman trenches south of Cauretto wood, the offlclul communique announced to day.

On the rlxht bank of the Meusn an extremely violent battle went on all day from Thiaumont farm to Vanx, Southenst of Douaumont fort the Hermans penetrated Into the southern part of Calllctto Wood and also made progress on the shore of Vaux pond, It was admitted officially. At all other points along the line Hermans were halted, Douaumont, already subjected to the explosions of thousands of sheila, l was again under fierce artillery fire. NFANTRY EC V Hozv do you buy coffee? COME women buy coffee by price, . some by looks, some by taste. Of course, taste is the only right way to judge coffee. Looks may mean little, even to an expert. Price is no true guide. Taste flavor in your cup is su preme because that's why you drink coffee. 'Most women know that good coffee tastes better than indifferent coffee. But too few women know that fine coffee is not only goodbut also economical. For instance, a pound of Schilling's lknt goes further than pound of an either coffee we know of. You can prove this for yourself. It is Rood coffee plus plm extra care in selection, handling and packing. This d CMMingS 1 VISITS RESERVE Supervisor N. P. Macduff has re turned from a trip through tho upper Appregato watershed In conipnny with Supervisor M. L. Erirkson of the Crater national (orest, his de puty, A. K. Cohoon, and A. C.

I'nder the terms of the Taylor bill, which has already passed the United Slates senate, money la to bo advanced ' for tho building ot roads and trails through out the forests, an appropria tion of a million dollars annually bo ilng provided In the bill .

In districts where fires are most prevalent, and the standing timber in most danger of destruction, little of this money will be expended. It therefore Is to the Interests of any district to have adequate fire con trol, and the supervisors 'of .the Sis kiyou and the Crater forests are co operating In this control.
