I VON HINDENBURG. HIS MILITARY JUBILEE CELEBRATED. GREAT ENTHUSIASM. AMSTERDAM, April 8. The German Press is eulogising Von Hindenburg on the jubilee of his military service. He is depicted as the saviour of the country and the greatest German of modern times. Curious allusions are made to his political part after the war. Von Hindenburg has been the recipient of thousands of messages, including those from the rulers of Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Kaiser sent his portrait in oils, also a telegram describing Von Hindenburg's deeds in the field as historical. "I am in agreement with the army and the entire Fatherland," telegraphed the Kaiser, "when I assure you that gratitude and recognition of all yon have accomplished will never die." TRENCH GUNS DOMINATE NEW POSITION. LONDON, April 8. The Times correspondent at Paris says the pendulum of battle has swung back from west of the Meuse to the hollow dominated by tho French guns. PIGHTING AT HAUCOURT. PARIS, April 8. A communique states: —German efforts tq dislodge us east of Haucourt failed, our murderous fire inflicting heavy losses. The Germans gained a footing in two small works south of Haucourt. FRENCH FRONT TRENCHES PENETRATED.

PARIS, April 8. A communique says:—The Germans, under cover of a violent bombardment of our positions between Bethincouft and Hill 2G5, penetrated our first line of trenches along the road from Bethincourt to Chatoncourt. Our counterattack ejected them from the greater part of the ground, and the enemy only holds now some advanced elements on a front of 300 metres. We continue to progress in enemy communication trenches south-west of Fort Douamont. GERMANS' GREAT LOSSES. london; April s. A trustworthy estimate puts the German losses at Verdun at 150,000 fallen of the first line and 50.000 casualties caused by artillery sickness. ENEMY ATTACKS REPULSED. LONDON, April S. T'.ie enemy, north of Four (]■• Paris, in the Argonne, attacked, using flame projectors, but were repulsed. Repeated enemy G attacks north of Avoeourt broke down. We also repulsed an attack on our, position at Hois Caillette. A communique, says: Our curtain of fire checked a powerful attack on the Haucourt front of two kilometres. The Germans were obliged to retire, leaving many corpes. NEW ZEALAND WOUNDED. LONDON, April 8. The arrangements to make the principal Australian and New Zealand hospital base in the south of France is likely to be immediately reviewed. Overseas medical men point out tha: th e wounded men were brought to England in winter and now it is proposed to go to the -heat of a south of France summer. Hospital arrangements for the Anzacs in England have been completed regardless of expense and pre i n excellent working order. The ladies in England are also giving valuable voluntary assistance, which would be lost if the men were sent to France. Pnobably the decision will be reversed in favour of the wounded coming to Wimerc-aux and thence to England. Sir Thomas Mackenzie and the Australian officials oppose th« movementto send the wounded to France.
