THRUST WAS HALTED
AT LATTER PLACE
On the Eastern Bank of the
Meuse, There Was Contin-
ued Intense Artillery Fire
Near Vaux and Damloup
Russian Fleet Active in
Black Sea

The battle for verdun, now we'll in its
fourth week, continues with intensity
but just at present the infantry is being
held in leash while the big guns prepare
the way for further assaults. The pow
erful German thrust to the west of the
Meuse on tfe edge of the Argonne region,
which developed early this week, halted
when it reached the edge of Avocourt
wood, but the activity of the German ar
lllery in this sector, which Paris reports
today particularly against Haucourt
hill northeast of Avocourt, indicates that
the German intention probably is to
make further determined attempts at
progress in this important lanking move
ment.
The situation on the eastern bank of
Meuse is unchanged but here too the
artillery fire continues to be intense, par
ticularly near Vaux and Damloup in the
sector where violent attacks we're made
before the infantry activity shifted to
the other bank of the river.
Russian warships are reported active
in the Black sea, where the 7,ooo-ton
German steamer Esperanza, said to be
loaded with foodstuffs, has been sunk off
the Rumanian coast, according to a news
agency dispatch from Bucharest. The
sinking of score of small sailing ships
is also reported.

Paris, March 22.-No infantry attacks
were made on the Verdun front last

the ncighborhood of the road between
Yienne lie Chateau and Binhrvlle.
"On the left bank of the NIeuse the

region of Malancourt on the village of
Esnes and hill 304. Counter shelled with
great energy by our artillery, the enemy
made no attempt to attack during the
course OF the day.
There was an intermittent lombard
ment at several points of the front, east
of the Meuse and in the Woevre.
"In Lorraine our artillery was active
against the German organizations north
and east of Embermenil. =.

ARMOR PLATE PRICE
CUT WHEN SENATE
VOTED FOR FACTORY
Steel Company Promptly Re-
duced the Cost When Government
Seemed About to Order a
Federal Factory for
Making Armor.

Washington, d. c., March 22-When
the House naval committee to-day re-
ceived the TilIman bill for a government
armor plate plant, which passed the Sen
ate late yesterday, it also received a
proposal from the Bethlehem Steel com
pany to cut the price of armor from
the present price Of S425 tom to S395,
! The Tillman bill, which provides for
the erection or purchase by the govern
ment of an armor plate factory at a
cost not to exceed Sll 100000, was passed
| by the Senate by vote of 50 to %.
| Democratic senators supported the bill
solidly, regarding it as one of the impor-
tant measures included in the national
preparedness program now being has
tened to completion. Nine progressive
Republicans joined with the majority in
voting for the bill. They were Senators
Borah, Clapp, Cummins, Gronna, Kenyon,
Morris Poindexter, Sterling and Works.
Passage of the measure in the House
is regarded as assured. Administration
leaders are planning to bring it up soon
after passage of the army reorganization
and immigration bills.
The bill, which has the approval OF the
administration and Secretary Daniels,
was bitterly opposed by several Republi-
can senators. At committee hearings on
the measure, officers of the Bethlehem
and Midvale companies, two of the three
concerns which provided armor to the
government appeared and the threat was
made that their plants would have to be
dismantled as soon as the government en-
tered in the business, leaving no source
of supply for the navy's immediate needs
The opposition in the Senate was led by
Senators Penrose, Oliver, Lippitt and
Lodge.
Senators Oliver and Penrose insisted
that the proposed action of the govern
ment was confiscatory and that it would
force the private plate manufacturers out
of business at time when they are
most needed by the government.
Senator's Swanson. Reed and Tillman
closed the general discussion for the ad /
maintaining that the pri-
vate manufacturers never had dealt fair /
ly with the government and that govern
ment manufacturers in competition with (
private manufacturers was necessary. /
Tillman declared it was not de- I
signed to run the private manufacturers /
out of business, and predicted it would !
not.
