Tells Delegation He Will Make Personal Effort to Help Get Suecor to Starving.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—President iVIteon today told a large delegation of representatives of Polish organizations that he would make personal efforts to get relief to the starving, in Poland. It is understood! he is consid-' •ring a personal appeal to the rulers of the nations involved to allow, distribution of food. The "state depart-! tnent already has made one auQh appeal to the governments.

The president characterized conditions iA Poland as "tragical" and deScribed the negotiations for the sending of food as being "against a stone vail"

Senator Hitchcock Introduced the .delegation led by John F. Smulski of Chicago, a member of the Polish central relief committee, and N. L. Piotrowski, former city1 attorney of Chicago, who personally.investigated conditions in Poland.

Mr. Smulski told' the president that .apparently "a deliberate sentence of' death has been passed against the people of Poland."

In reply to the delegation the president said*' "This matter has engaged my thoughts constantly I might say without exaggeration and I do not think that there is any matter to which the State department has devoted a more constantly and repeated effort than that of trying to get relief into Poland. I know the terrible conditions, the tragical conditions that exist there and nobody could know them without feeling his heart torn with the knowledge. "Just the other day we Issued a special appeal to the governments concerned to make concessions and allow this humane, thing to be done. Now I am simply up against a stone wall in thto matter. If they do not yield, obviously there is nothing I can do. I Cannot force food in there without complicating the situation and without Jj conjecture, doing greater disservice to Poland than service." "I assure you that every kind of pressure that can be brought will be brought and .is being brought in the accomplishment of this object. I desire as well as all those associated with ate desire to help her and as a reminder,

it was hardly necessary for you to $omcy but your visit is none the less Unpressive and none the less welcome."

Th© committee told the president that what is now needed is permission from Great Britain to allow sfyips carrypSg

food to pass the British blockade Mid assurances from Germany that supplies sent from the United States *rill not be used for military purposes.

RENEW VERDUN ATTACK.

Germans Revive Struggle and Gain 8ome Ground. PARIS, Tuesday, July 11.—Although the battle in Picardy, which has been raging for ten days, is absorbing most of the. attention of the German commanders, they were able today to revive the struggle at Verdun, making some advance there and delivering several sharp local attacks in the Lorraine and Vosges sections, probably to conceal the transfer of troops to the Somme region.

Having maintained their grip on the Thiaumont work but failing to debouch therefrom, the Germans now are trying to push forward their left flank. Their artillery was busy all day yesterday! all night and "this morning they worked up the bombardment to a pitch equal to p,ny that has gone before. Then tne bombardment ceased, making way for the infantry.

One column sought to work its way along the railroad which runs around Hill .320, toward the Fleury station, situated in the eastern extremity of the village,, but it melted away before the French fire, as did another column attacking Chapitre wood.

Columns debouching from Vaux for the river succeeded in getting a bare footing after intense fighting in the Pumln wood to the west and in the ruined Damloup battery, one of the few subsidiary out defenses of Verdun.

The advantage which the Germans obtained was not great, since the battery is swept by guns from Souville, Tavajmes and Bourv'aux.

The day's operations on the Somme were confined to completing the work of Sunday and yesterday of clearing the Germans out of these few isolated polltiohs they still held in the bend of the Somme opposite Peronne. The French troops on the north Of the Somme are continuing their prepara tion for the next "move.
