'PARIS, April 1. German troop renewed their terrific attacks against the fortifications of Verdun, lyjng on the east bank of the Meuse during the night. They delivered two attacks . with strong forces against Vaux. The first one, according to the official communique Issued by the war office this afternoon, was checked by rifle and artillery fire, but in the second the Germans directed their efforts to the west of Vaux and succeeded In gaining a foothold In the outlying houses. The communique states the Germans suffered heavy losses in these assaults. No further infantry attacks were launched by the Germans in the Malancourt region during the night, but it is expected that another offensive will be opened there in a few hours. The defense of Malancourt was one of the most heroic episodes of the war. In the all night, house to house fighting that resulted in the French retirement 1,000 French soldiers stubbornly resisted German troops whose number is estimated at from 20,00 to 30,000 men. What the defenders lacked In numbers they made up in machine guns. Every bit of shelter hid one of these death dealing machines and when the Germans from three directions swarmed into the village they, as a French officer described it ."fell like flies" before the deadly fire. Only eight yards separated the successive waves of German troops and YARYAN MAKES GOOD GASOLINE FOR LOW COST Homer T. Yaryan, one of the foremost and most successful American inventors, has succeeded in producing on a manufacturing scale atlow cost a high grade gasoline. This gasoline is made of by-products of the refinery, ordinarily used as fuel oil in competition with coal, and of kerosene, which has become a market drug owing to its excessive production. ' Mr. Yaryan is now seventy-five years of age. At one time he resided in Richmond but now makes his home in Toledo, being one of the best known business men in that city. His successful gasoline, production experiment was made In Brunswick, Ga., where he has large plants for the manufacture of resinous products under his patented process. Mr. . Yaryan is the brother of the late Senator John Yaryan of Richmond, the brother-in-law of Mrs. Jennie Yaryan and the uncle of John Y. Poundstone, both of this city. Perfects Heating System. One of his most successful inventions is the so-called Yaryan heating system the piping of hot water from f. central station into buildings. It was he who discovered the process of manufacturing linseed oil by the solvent process, the Yaryan evaporator, which is described in the Encyclopedia Brltanica, and the process by .-hir.h -rncin and nils have been proA.,A tmm nine fit ii m ds and deadwood. His Brunswick plants consurael great quantities of gasoline so nenj the price of gasoline became excessive he turned his remarkable inventive genlin to the task of manufacturing ! gasoline at a low cost, a task he accomplished in six weeks. This latest invention saves his company $10,000 ! a month. , During the Grant administration Mr. Yaryan was in the federal secret service and it was he who unearthed the famous "whiskey ring" scandal which shook the Grant administration to its foundation, involving high government officials. Mr. Yaryan was driven from the service by trapped Influences and the secretary of the treasury resigned in protest. MRS.

Somewhere, just a few hours' before them, it was reported , that Villa and his 'scattered men "were making an effort to reassemble. Villa himself was carried on a litter by chosen followers. Some reports conveyed Information that Villa had gathered, scattered forces at some rendezvous and was preparing to fling them at Chihuahua : in a last desperate effort to recoup. His defeat at San Geronimo meant something more than: the loss of thirty men and his ablest general, Eliseo Hernandez. It meant a powerful blow at his "amigos" In the Guerrero country. Villa had promised that he would whip the American expedition and send it flying back to the border.

The buildings here are ample for future extensions that are being considered and the shipping facilities are also better than at Peru, the officials say.
