FRENCH ADVANCE vERDUN LINES

Paris.-The French, in a counter
offensive in the battle of Verdun, cap
tured part of German trench on the
west slope of Dead Mans Hill.
A German attack near Hill 2S7, be-
tween the wood of Malancourt and
Dead Mans Hill, made in force in an
effort to advance further toward Yer
dun the line of the Crown Princes
army, broke down under the terrific
fire of the French guns, backed by
the infantry.

GERMANS NOW HOPE FOR PEACE
Think War Will End Before Winter;
Probably by End Of Summer.

Berlin-Now that the question
Are we going to have war with
America" has been disposed Of with
a negative answer. when will the
war end?" is again the question one
most frequently hears from all sorts
OF Germans, since the peace para.
graph in the German answer to the
United States gave a fresh impetus
to popular speculation regarding the
possible peace terms and how and
when the war might cad.
There is undeniably widespread
feeling that the preservation OF peace
with America is a harbinger of a
coming world peace, and President
Wilson's qualifications for the role of
mediator are being more and more
debated here, indicating a growing
interest in the peace theme Since
the chancellor has spoken out, Ger
mans consider it no disgrace or sign
OF weakness to talk peace, particularly
in view of the continued strength of
the military position.
One now finds very general con-
viction that there will not be third
winter campaign. A favorite and
widely held opinion is that the war
will end by late fall. Many opti-
mists even believe the late summer
will bring peace.

! Paris.-The Germans, on the eighty
second day of the battle of Verdun
pressed an offensive movement or the
entire western ard eastern fronts and
captured first line trenches from the
British over front OF about 500 yards
! in the region OF Vermelles.
! Relaxing. in a degree, their attack
in the Verdun sector, but keeping up
an artillery fire against the French
positions. the Teutons switched the
centre OF their operations and made a
sharp attack on the British line around
Hulluch.
BY massing their infantry and fol-
lowing up closely their artillery oper-
atoms they were able TO push their
way through the British defenses.
London admits the loss OF the posi-
tions, but says part of them were re-
taken in counter-attack.
The fighting was of desperate
character Berlin asserts that the
British in defense of their trenches
and later in the counter-attacks suf-
fered heavily.
With the expansion of the German
offensive the French increased their
efforts around Verdun, and on the left
bank of the Meuse recaptured points
OF vantage taken from them by the
Germans southeast of the fortress.
Bombardment OF increasing inten-
sity are again under way in the vi
cinity of Dead Man Hill and Cumieres
and against the French first and sec
ond line Trenches on the right bank
OF the Meuse, between Haudromont
Wood and Vaux.
Southeast of Fort Douaumont the
Germans made an attack, but were
beaten back.
AS a part of what is regarded by
the military experts as general for.
ward movement OF the Germans, at
tacks were made by them at several
points on the Russian front. Hard
infantry fighting is reported in the
Dvinsk and Jacobstadt sectors and fur
ther south. In some place large forces
were engaged and the losses were
heavy in proportion TO the numbers
engaged. Petrograd announces that
all the onslaughts were repulsed.
In the Austro-ltalian theatre intense
artillery actions are ensuing I'm the
Col di Lana zone, and the Italians
have put down two Austrian attempts
at attack against captured positions
on Mount Cukla.
Petrograd reports further progress
for the Russians fighting against the
Turks near the Persian frontier, with
Bagdad as their objective. Here the
Turks attempted to take the offensive
but the Russians say the movement
was repulsed.
Senator Berenger, writing in the
Matin, says that "the key to the war
lies in the possession of the Briey Val
ley, between Verdun and Metz.

Regular Organization Alone Can BE
Expanded to 4,ooo-425, 900 Militia,

the Men at instruction Camps.

| Washington.-Confe of the Sen
zation bill reached an agreement
which insures a defensive army in
time OF peace OF $1,000 men, inclu-
sive of militia.
The militia reserve plan which has
been condemned by all army experts
is retained, which means that Con-
gress will insist upon State troops
instead OF regular or volunteer
army, as the backbone OF the reserve
| forces.
The "big army" men, however, got
important concessions in other direc
tons. In lieu of volunteer army"
they obtained an enlargement and lib
eralization of the authorization for
camps Of instruction which will make
it possible ultimately to develop big
reserve force.
House conferees yielded on the plan
for the organization OF the standing
army and of the General Staff, which
will make It possible TO have a regu.
lar army that will not fall below 160,-
900 at any time and may be increased
In time of peace to 175000 exclusive
Of the Quartermaster Corps, Medical
Corps, Signal Corps, Philippine Scouts
and unassigned recruits so that the
possible strength OF the peace army
may amount to 206,000 men. in the
discretion of the Secretary OF War.

tHxN. 20 10
which was retained will give a perma-
nent enlisted strength of the National
Guard Of the States of 425,000 men.
The regular army, under the authorize
ton of the bill, may be increased to
254,000 men, including the various
corps and the Philippine Scouts and
unassigned recruits.
The bin authorizes an enlargement
Of the plan for camps Of instruction,
as proposed by the House, in conform
ity with the Plattsburg idea so that
citizens who may wish to avail them
selves Of the privilege of military in
struction will be supplied by the Gov
ernment with uniforms, transporta-
ton, subsistence and medical atten-
dance, and in additi, will receive
the pay Of enlisted men in the regu-
lar army during the time spent in
the instruction camps.
The strength OF the National Guard
is fixed at 425,O00 men, with the
House provisions for Federalizng this

note:

The President then made known
clearly the only kind of peace which
would be acceptable to France. The
address was delivered at the Molitor
Garrison. before a large number OF
Lorraine refugees, to whom the Presi-
dent, after expressing his sympathies
and renewing promises OF solicitude
and protection, said:
France will not expose her sons
to the dangers of new aggressions.
The central empires, haunted by re-
morse for having brought on the war.
and terrified by the Indignation and
hatred they have stirred up in man.
kind, are trying today to make the
world believe that the Allies alone
are responsible for the prolongation
OF hostilities-a dull irony which will
deceive no one.
Neither directly nor indirectly
have our enemies offered us peace.
But we do not want them TO offer it
TO US, we want them to ask 1t of us
We do not want to submit to their
conditions, we want to impose ours
on them. We do not want peace
which would leave imperial Germany
with the power TO recommence the
war and keep Europe eternally men
aced We want peace which receives
from restored rights serious guaran-
tees OF equilibrium and stability.
$50 long as that peace is not assur-
ed to us, so long as our enemies will
not recognize themselves as van
quished, we will not cease to fight"
He told the refugees that they were
only a small number of the victims
of the invasion, these were distrib-
uted in all parts of the country and
there was not a department that was
not sheltering thousands. Every

NO WARNING TO cYMRIc.

Paris.-The great battle at Verdun
after over eighty days of fighting,
became a deadlock, in which the in.
fantry on both sides were unable to
advance.
The artillery duel continues and the
troops are held in readiness for at
tacks or counter7attacks whenever an
opportunity is seen.
To the east and northeast OF the
fortress, where determined infantry
assaults and terrific bombardments
have marked the recent fighting, only
intermittent cannonading is now going
on.
The Germans threw a big force Of
infantry against French trench to
the west OF Hill 304, northwest OF
Verdun, but their lines were crumpled
back by curtain OF fire and were
unable to debouch.

Washington. - Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld says there will be no
unusual depression in tho United
States at the end of the European
war. He expresses this opinion in
the course OF letter which he has
written TO Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Halburn.
The secretary stated that the coun-
try's so-called war business does not
exceed probably 5 per cent. of It's
total industrial and commercial ac-
tivity. The letter was in reply to
suggestion by Mr.. Halburn that the
American people are in danger of

Secretary Redheld stated that neces-
sary readjustments after the war will
be important and perhaps serious. but
the relative importance of war bust
