WORLDS GREATEST
MARINE DISASTER
MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND
LIVES LOST WHEN FRENCH
CRUISER IS SUNK.
Out OF Four thousand Men on
Board, Only s7o Were Saved, Ae-
eordino TO Latest Estimates Of
French Ministry.

Paris.-It was announced at the
French ministry of marine on Friday
that there were nearly 1000 men on
board the French auxiliary cruiser
Provence when she was sunk In the
Mediterranean on February 20.
II was stated that on board the
Provence were the STAFF of the Third
colonial infantry regiment. the Third
battalion, the Second company OF the
First battalion, the Second machine
gun company and one extra company,
in all nearly 1000 men.
As the ministry of marine on Feb
ruary 20 announced that the number
of survivors OF the Provence disaster
was estimated at $40, 1t is indicated
by the foregoing dispatch that up.
wards OF $3.50 lives were lost.
The loss OF more than 1900 lives in
the sinking OF the French auxiliary
cruiser Provence is the greatest ocean
disaster of modern times. Up to the
present the largest number OF lives
ever lost in one wreck was when the
White Star liner Titanic struck an
iceberg Off the Newfoundland banks
on April IL. 1912, and sank with a
death OF 1888. The rescued number

CONGRESS STANDS
BEHIND PRESIDENT
0RNATE BY A DECISIVE VOTE
TABLES GORE RESOLUTION
AFTER TURBULENT SCENE.
oupporterS Of Resolution to Warn
Americans OF BelIIserent Ships
Declare Action Of Senators
Was a Scotch Verdict"

Washington.-By a vote of 6S to II
the senate on Friday carried out Pres
ident Wilson's wish and killed Senator
Cores resolution to warn Americans
of armed belliSerent ships.
In a turbulent scene, such as is sci
dom Witnessed in the senate, voting
proceeded with senators shouting OBJ
jections, futilely demanding recogni
ton to explain their positions and
making hot retorts to each other, all
Of which were out of order. At one
time so many senator's were shouting
for the vice-presidents recognition
that the sergeant-at-arms was called
to restore quiet.
After having Unanswered for two
days to get the resolution in such par.
hamentary position that 1t was dis
posed Of without debate, the senate
then proceeded to a general discussion
of the subject which continued all af-
ternoon, to the dismay of administra-
ton supporters,
There we're free expressions Of opin.
ion that the senate's action, because
the vote actually was taken on mo-
ton to table the Gore resolution with
q correction by the author and sub
stitute by Senator McCumber, was in
effect Scotch verdict" and had not
actually accomplished the purpose of
the president. Such statements arous-
cd the presidents friends, who feared
they would produce an effect exactly
opposite to that intended, notice 10
the world that the senate stands be-
hind the president in his demands on
Germany for the rights Of Americans
travelling the seas.
In the house. however, the foreign
affairs committee, by vote OF II to Q,
took longer step toward meeting
fully the presidents wishes, 1t voted
to report the McLemore warning reso-
luton, with the recommendation that
1t be tabled In the report the commit
tee asserts that the constitution i'm
posed the conduct Of diplomatic nego'
tlations on the president, and with
this practice the committee does not
feel II proper for the house of repre-
sentatives to interfere"

GERMANS WARNING
ON MERCHANTMEN
TWO VESSELS SUNK ON THE
OPENING DATE OF INAUGURAL
TON OF NEW PLAN.
British Steamers Thornaby and Null.
wa Sent to the Bottom, II Being
Believed That Both Vessels
Were Torpedoed.

London.-Two steamers were sunk
on March l, the first under the new
Austrian-German decree regarding the
sinking of armed merchantmen with
out warning, which went into effect
on the date.
The censorship has been frightened,
and only the most meager details of
the disasters are available.
The British steamship Thornaby
was the first one reported to have beer
sunk. Initial reports stated that all
the members of her crew had been
killed or drowned. This is taken as
proof conclusive that the steamship
was torpedoed by submarine.
Later reports regarding the casual
ties, however, indicate that some me- m
bers of the crew were saved.
The British steamer Mulvya is re-
ported to have been sunk off the coast
of Kent. The war office, however has
issued no statement in reference to
her loss.
Later details of the loss Of the
French cruier La Provence indicate
that the loss OF life may reach 1900.
The French ministry of marine has is
sued a statement in which 1t was said
that La Provence was transporting
troops TO Saloniki when sunk. She
was capable of carrying 1900 persons,
and 1t is believed that many, including
the members of the crew, were aboard
when she persisted.

AWFUL SLAUGHTER
IN VERDUN BATTLE
MEN MOVED DOWN BY MACHINE
81 GUNS LIKE GRAIN BEFORE
THE REAPER.
Germans Announce Capture of Five
Towns in One Day, While Allies
Report Eessenine Activity Of
Teutonic Forces.

London.-With the lessening of the
activity of the contending forces to
the north of Verdun, the French in
the Woevre region, east of Verdun,
are using their artillery to break up
German preparations for further ad-
vances toward the fortress.
At various points the fire of the
French guns has prevented the Ger
mans from launching offensives
The losses have been heavy, attack
ing parties being moved down by ma
chine guns. One correspondent de-
clares that during charge by the
Germans, "the French machine guns
began to play and we saw the dead in
groups upright where there was not
room for them to fall"
The Germans on Tuesday reported
the capture of five towns southeast of
Verdun. They are Dieppe, Aboucourt
Blanzee, ManhueIles and Champion.
The advance was over front
twelve miles long and represents a
gain of from one to four miles in
three days.
In the Vosges mountains there also
has been great artillery activity by the
French near Senones and Ban-de-
Sapt, while near Seppois the Germans
have been driven out of trenches they
had previously taken. In the Cham
payne German fortified works in the
region of hill No. 1913 have been bat
tered by the French guns and the
crater of mine exploded by the Ger
mans was occupied by the French.
The Germans have added several
additional points to their terrain in
the fighting about Verdun, having
been enabled to construct trenches on
the slopes north of the Cote du Poivre
and to capture an arm pored work north
west of Douaumont and have taken
the towns of Manhhelles and Champ
Ion, thirteen miles southeast Of Yer
dun.
In this drive to the east of Verdun
the advance Of the Germans has ex-
tended over a front of virtually
twelve miles-from Dieppe to Champ
lon.
Berlin reports that thus far they
have taken prisoner 22S officers, 49,
575 men and large number of guns,
machine guns and much war material.
There has been considerable artil-
lery activity and fights in the air be-
tween battalions of German and Brit
ish aviators along the British front
in France and Belgium.
In the Dvinsk region of Russia the
Russians have driven the Germans
back and advanced their line and put
down under heavy fire an attempt at
a counterattack.
In lengthy statement in reply to
an official rmmunication issued from
Constantincple the Russian general
staff describes the powerful defenses
which guarded Erzerum and declares
that the force of the blow dealt by
the Russians can be estimated by the
TACT that some of the Turkish army
corps of three divisions each now
number only a few thousand men, all
the remainder having either persisted
or have been taken prisoners.
A Central News dispatch from Pet
rograd says the Turks are hastily
evacuating Trebizond and the neigh
boring towns on the Black sea coast
OF the Caucasus region.
