LONDON, May 27.—The latest
reports from the Verdun front
says that the French have made
good gaines around the village of
Cumieres. Berlin reports admit
that the French gained/the con-
trol of the village and surround-
ing trenches, but claims that the
French troops were later repulsed
and • ue Get mans recovered the
lossed territory with heavy losses
to the French in men killed and
wounded.
In a list of speaking dates given
out to the press by Congressman
R. L. Henry, we note that Mr.
Henry will speak at Ballinger on
Saturday, June 17th. Further an-
nouncement will probably be
made by Mr. Henry's friends in
a few days and plans perfected
for receiving the candidate.
