GERMANS GAIN ALONG
WHOLE FRENCH FRONT

Paris, Feb. 20.-A series of engage
ments which at times take proper
tions of general battle are in prog
ress.
The Germans are making determin-
ed efforts to recover the ground lost
during heavy fighting of the last few
days. This Is especially so on the
heights OF the Meuse. There the Ger
mans have taken several outlying
trenches.
In the Champagne region likewise
the Germans continue to pour fresh
regiments into action, endeavoring to
take series of parallel trenches.
The ground fronting the trenches
is covered with dead and wounded OF
both armies, as 1t is impossible to
remove them in the face of the ter
rife artillery fire.
Near La Bassee the Germans are
still trying to cut the railway line
which runs parallel to the canal to
the north of 1t.
Only slight progress is possible in
Upper Asace, where the Germans con-
tinue to heavily reinforce their posi-
tiOns

GERMAN NOTE NOT RECEIVED
Delay Caused by circuitous Route Of
Transmission.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The official
text of Germany's reply to the United
States note warning against damage to
American ships in the naval war zone
about the British Isles has not been
received at the state department; in
fact. there we're no advices from Am
bassador Gerard that 1t had been de-
livered to him by the Berlin foreign
office, although officials know from
other advices that the German note
has been delivered to the American
ambassador and is on it's way to
America.
Officials explained the delay by
pointing out that the ambassador has
been using the cable which comes
from Rome and goes over circuitous
route with numerous relays, while the
unofficial information about the cor
respondence has been sent from Ber-
lin to London through neutral coun-
tries and las taken the direct cable
- the United States.

struck the first blow since her war
zone decree went into effect. Dis
patches from Dieppe say German
submarine torpedoed without warn

bound from Hayre to Dunkirk
The attack was made sixteen miles
off Dieppe. The Dinorah did not sink.
but was towed into Dieppe. No men

crew.
The Norwegian tank steamer Bel.
ridge. which sailed from New Orleans
Jan. 2S for Amsterdam. struck mine
off Dover.
The vessel has been beached at
Walmer. Its forepeak and forehold
are waterlogged and its foredeck is
awash. The pilot on board and eight
cen men OF her crew have been land
ed The Belridge struck the mine at
all early hour In the morning.
There are increasing signs that
Germany is bending every effort to
make her decree effective.
These are found in the sudden &C.
tivity of Zeppelin airships in the
North sea, involving the loss of two
such vessels, together with reports
that they are continuing to patrol
notwithstanding the rigors of the
weather.
Added to this Is the visit of Emper,

they hope to give impetus to the ma

PANAMA TOLLS $2,OOO,OOO
Total Receipts for Less Than Six
Months of Business.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Up to Feb.
2, after the Panama canal had been
in operation thirteen days short of
six months, the total amount of tolls
received passed S2.000,0 900.
Interference by the European war
with the expected flow Of business
through the canal was indicated by
the fact that during January ninety
eight vessels passed through, being
one less than during December.
1t happened, however, that owing to
the large tonnage of the ships the
quantity of cargo carried exceeded all
previous months.

Night Sessions Planned to Pass Ap-

Washington, Feb. 20.-Republicans
and Democrats alike are endeavoring
to avoid an extra session.

St. Louis Conference to Per-

SMALLER CITIES ACTIVE
Mayors OF Many Localities Along
"Father Of Waters" Tell of Endeav-

Developing Terminals.

st. Louis, Feb 20.-A permanent or
ganization to promulgate campaign
OF education for the construction and
operation of river terminals and the
development of water transportation
on the Mississippi river and its tribu-
taries was recommended to the river
terminals conference at the Planters
hotel by the committee on resolutions.
1t was proposed that the organiza-
tion should be under the control Of an
executive committee comprised of two
representatives from each river state,
with former Governor Eberhart of
Minnesota as chairman.
The conference developed the fact
that nearly all the smaller river cities
are interested in terminals. The may
ors of Muscatine. la, and Baton
Rouge, La. as well as the mayors of
many other cities, explained what
they have been doing to build up river
traffic Nearly every Iowa town on
the Mississippi river is connecting up
its river front With railway terminals,
affording quick transfer of goods from
trains to boats. Even Des Moines, an
inland city, has reserved river front

proud adornment. The Nelson pillar,
with its statue to that Irish hero
on the top, closely resembles the
statue to the same naval hero in Traf-
algar square, London, only lacking
the surrounding guard of lions. This
column is the pivot around which the
life of Dublin revolves, just as Char
ing Cross is the western pivotal point
of the English capital. Lower Sack
Vile street runs south, to the O'Connel
bridge, and continues across that
broad structure to the ample avenue
on the opposite bank of the river,
with the rounded facade and stately
line of columns of the old parliament
building on the right, and the solid,
classic mass of Trinity college on the
left.
How close the resemblance to the
London scene! Whitehall and Parlia-
ment street are readily recognized In
the breadth, style and direction OF
Sackville street and College green,
while the British house of parliament
is represented by Trinity and the gov
ornamental buildings of Downing street
by the stately old Irish parliament
house. Even London's statue OF the
duke of Cambridge, in the center OF
the road to Westminster, finds it's
counterpart in the midst of the road
way at the northern end of the bridge
which bears his name. The Litfey
river asks but little exercise OF the
IMAGINATION to fancy it shrunken
but not less worthy Thames; the arch
ing bridges remind one Of their FOL-
lows that span the English stream;
