Paris. June 1.-The French War oHce tonight issued this statement;
 DJn the Argonne the Germans made .n attempt against one of our small nosts at Courtes Chaussees, but were repused.
 To the left of the Mouse the activ- ty of the artillery of both sides again became intense during the day in the region of Hill BOA. Our barrage fire checked evident preparations for at tack in the German trenches.
 "To the right of the Mouse the Ger mans continued to lombard our posi- lions in the region of Vaux to Dam- lOup, their fire being especially vio- lent against Fort Vaux. Towards 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Germans made an attack against the slopes of the Fumin woods, northwest of the fort, but were stopped by our machine gun fire.
 "0ur heavy artillery inflicted great damage on three German batteries in the Cauerieres wood. Our guns sheled and dispersed some German concentrations in the Cailette woods.
 Towards noon a group of German ayiatorS threw some bombs against the city of Toul, killing ten persons and wounding about ten. The ma teral damage inflicted was not im- portant. They did not succeed in hit ting any military establishments. Our hunting squadron at Toul took the air immediately and vigorously pursued the German machines, bringing down one of them into our lines at Sanz- Uy. Two other German aeroplanes Icing hit by the fire from our aviat- oss' machine guns, were obliged to land abruptly within the German hnes."

BOTH OF LOUISIANA
 DELEGATIONS SEATED
Georgia Fight Will be Carried Before Credentials Committee Texas Contests Most Im- pOrtant to be Decided.

Chicago, June 4.-The Louisiana delegate contests which have caused the Republican national committee more concern than the others, were settled today, when an agreement was reached whereby both delegations will be seated, each member with half vote.
 The agreement contemplates the resignation of Victor Loisel as na- tional committeeman from Louisiana. Each delegation has a candidate for the place, but it was said today the choice probably would go to Armand Romain of New Orleans, a member of the regular delegation.
 For two days the national commit tee has been working for a settlement of the question. The contesting dele gation asserted it's right to appear in the convention on the ground that the Louisiana state convention was held in hotel from which negroes were barred. Immediately after the con- vention rival state convention was formed and at a primary election the Icontesting delegation was chosen. This delegation told the national committee that it would not accept compromise and held out stubbornly in the face of requests for one. Ma tional Committeeman Fred w. Esta- brook of New Hampshire, T. K. Neid- ringhaus of Missouri and Ralph E. Williams of Oregon acted as inter- mediates between the contending fac tions and formulated the agreement which ended the contest. Members of the contesting delegation have asked the national committee to pass a reso- lution condemning so-called "lily Iwhiteism" which, it is charged, caused the dispute.
 Texas Contests Remain.
 The Georgia contest, decided on Thursday and Friday, will be carried before the credentials committee, it was announced by members of the so- called Johnson faction, to which the national committee gave five seats, II going to the Jackson faction.
 It is expected that the hearing of contests will be completed tomorrow. There is still strong element in the committee favoring refusal to seat any of the delegates from the District of Columbia. The Texas contest, in- volving II seats, is the most import ant one to be decided
 The rival Louisiana delegations are:
 Regular" organization delegates at large: Armand Romain, S. A. Tru- fant, E. F. Dickinson and Charles F. Bogani; district delegates, William S. Dwyer, A. C. Carpenter, R. H. Brown, w. c. Hudson. w. T. Insley, George T. Reilly, L. E. Robinson asd Sher- man Cook
 Contesting delegations: Delegates at large, Walter L. Cohen, Emile Kuntz, D. A. Lines and J. Madison Vance. District delegates, James L. Higgins, w. E. Robinson, P H. Se- gura. Charles NJ. Roberson, S. w. Green, B. V. Baranco, J. s. Thomson and Scott Normand.

TEN CASES ARE
UNANSWERED
Belief Growing That Pledge

Washington, Nov 25-ln view of GER
tain plain indications that Germany re-
CARDS her pledges on submarine warfare
as a very light encumbrance. administra
tion circles in Washington are prepared
TO face the grave situation that is likely
to result between the two nations
The conviction that the issue is to be
forced on the United States grows with
the numerous hints in the press dis
patches passed by the German censor,
amounting virtually TO official sanction.
The increased gravity of the situation is
also scored in the failure of the German
admiralty to make frank and satisfac-
tory explanation in 10 specific cases
where colorably there had been violations
of international law.
In each of the cases Germany is alleged
to have failed in the point of visit and
search before sinking the ships. They
