NEW CRISIS NEAR 0N SUBMARINE QUESTION
Evidence Indicates U-Boat Was Responsible for
 Sussex Attack.

Washington, April 6.-With the en- tire submarine situation hinging upon Germany's attitude in regard to the Sussex and other recent marine disas- ters, administration officials today awaited With intense interest 8 re- sponSe from the Berlin foreign office to inquiries made by Ambassador Ger ard
 The accumulation of evidence indi- eating that German submarines were responsible for the disasters is under stood to have convinced officials that it is up to the Berlin government to demonstrate the value of promises giv- en the United States
 The situation was the subject of a conference at the White House last night between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. ;.
 To the many reports from abroad indicating that the British channel steamer Sussex was tOrpedoed without warning today was added a graphic story of the wreck contained in a re- port by Read Admiral Grasset to the French general staff, made public at the French embassy.
 The report declares that the sussex was unarmed, that the attack on her was prem neditated, that the wake of a torpedo was seen by many of those on board and that the submarine must have remained in the neighborhood of the Sussex in order to torpedo any ship which might come to the rescue of her victims.'

RETAIN CONNECTICUT, PAGES
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
 WITH POLICE DEPT.
Officer Frank M. English is Oldest Man in Department in Point
 of Service.

On Monday next, Officer Frank M. English, regarded as the dean of the police department, will complete a quarter of a century of active service as a policeman in this city. He was appointed on April 10, 1891. and is the oldest man on the force in point of service.
 Cer has been an enviabe one. When he was first appointed twenty-five years ago he was somewhat less heavy than the usual run of police men and some of the troublesome toughs that infested the city at that time thought he would be an easy man to handle. They found things different, to their sorrW, and the doughy policeman enjoys the dis tinctiOn of never having shown the white feather in a fight. About twenty years ago he was sent to make an arrest in Rents block on South Main street. As he entered the block the lights were extinguiShed and he was brutally beaten on the head With a hammer. His injuries were very ser ious and it was a long time before he recovered.

ARMY BILL LOBBY IN
 SENA7f'7O BE PR0BED
Senator Nelson Declares He Has Never Seen Its
 Equal.

Washington April 6.-The fight over the federal volunteer plan of the army reorganization bill was | drawing to a close when the senate resumed work on the measure today.
 An amendment by Senator Lee of Maryland to strike out the provision was the immediate business before the senate Action on the proposal had again been deferred in order to permit one or two senators toa,speak. Advocates of the provision predicted that it had been saved.
 Charges of the existence of @ lobby here to defeat preparedness legisla- tion may be investigated by the sen ate. Such an investigation is proposed in resolution by Senator Sherman of Illinois, to clear the way for more rapid and effective consideration of pending legislation
 Alleged activities of the national guard organizations in connection with the bill came in for sharp denuncia- tion at the hands of Senators Cham berlain, McCumber and Nelson during the debate late yesterday. All an- nOunced the receipt of numerous tel egrams from guard <ficials urging de feat of the volunteer provision. Sen ator Nelson declared that in all his experience he had "never seen such lobbying as outside influences have brought to bear to defeat certain sec tions of this bill.'
 Another flood of telgrams protesting against elimination of the volunteer army provision was submitted today by Chairman Chamberlain. Many were from officers of the national guard who declared their views had not been correctly presented by sena- tors fighting the volunteer provision on the ground that it threatens the existence of the national guard.
 Tn all 360 te1egrams were presented endorsing the volunteer army plan.

French Continue Offensive With Success North Of AVOCOurt
TEUTONS WIN AT HAUCOURT
IIaisers Soldiers Secure Footing in Nil- Ingc But ArC Now Under Fire of Toes Dominating PositiOns-Pris- Oners Reported Taken.

Paris, April 6, 2:10 D. m.-The war office announced this afternoon cap- turc by the French of a large portion of the position north of Avocourt, known as Bois Carre, or Square Woods" This ground was captured in the course of fighting which went on all of yesterday afternoon and last night in the Verdun region west of the Mouse, on the Avocourt- Bething court line.
 At one point along the Avocourt- Bethincourt line the Germans succeed ed in penetrating the French positions
 Two attacks were made by German troops against French positions north of Caillette woods, but they were without result.
 The text of the communication fol- lows:
 "In the Argonne district a surprise attack delivered by us this morning on one of the enemy's trenches near the highway of St. Hubert resulted in our inflicting perceptible losses on our adversaries and in bringing back to our lines some twenty prisoners.
 During this attack our artillery, in the next sector violently bombarded that portion of the AvocOurt woods occupied by the Germans.
 Germans Resume ActIVity.
 "In the region of Verdun the enemy, after the relative calm of yesterday afternoon, gave evidence of very great activity during the evening hours. As the night progressed there took place to the west of the Mouse bonn bard ment of extreme violence in the region between Avocourt and Bethincourt. This was followed by a series of at tacks in which large numbers of men took part against the two principal saIients of this front. All the efforts of the enemy against the village of Bethincourt were checked by our fire.
 During this same time the enemy delivered a furious attack on the cen- ter against the village of Haucourt. In spite of repeated checks and of bloody sacrifices they were successful in getting a footing during the night in this village. We now hold the village under the fire of our dominat- ing positions. On our side, after a short preparatory artillery fire, we delivered a spirited attack, our men coming out from the redoubt of Avo- court. their purpose being to connect this redOubt with one of our works sit uated on the boundary line of the wood to the north of Avocourt. Dur ing this operation, which was in all respects successful, we occupied a large portion of the territory known as 'Le Bois Carre' and took fifty prls- oners. < '',To the east of the River Mouse two attacks on the part of the enemy dl- rected against our position to the north of the Caillette wood resulted 1 only in serious losses to the Germans. 1
