Berlin Claims and Paris Ad-
mits Progress for the
German Forces.
HAND TO HAND FIGHT
Near Douaumont the French
Succeeded in Repulsing
Enemy at Close Range.

Berlin, Feb. 20 tvia London. 500
p. m.)-Progress for the Germans in
their drive towards Verdun In the
Woevre district was announced by the
war office today The German troops
have passed Dieppe, Abaucourt and
Blanzee, and also have taken Man.
heulles and Champion.
The war office also announced that
a small armored work northwest Of
Douaumont has been stormed by the
Germans.
The official announcement gives the
total number of unwounded prisoners
taken as 1856. There have been cap
tured also 70 cannon and Sc machine
guns.
At the Forester's house at Thiaville
a French position was taken. A large
number of prisoners remain in Ger
man hands.
The situation is unchanged in the
eastern and Balkan zones.
French Admit Losses.
Paris, Feb. 20 (2:35 p. m.)-Bom-
bardment north of Verdun continues
with greater intensity. East Of the
Mouse last night there was resump-
ton of violent local attacks. Near the
village of Douaumont the fighting
came to hand-to-hand encounter and
the Germans were repulsed by French
troops.
Paris, Feb 29.-After intense artil-
lery fire German forces captured the
village of Manheulles, but a counter
attack brought the French to the west
ern boundary Of this location. They
now hold Manheulles under their fire.
In Lorraine the Germans occupied
small sections of French trenches, but
they were shortly driven out from
these positions.
There is nothing to report from the
remainder of the front.

THE WAR
TODAY

Tn the Champagne district, by
a surprise attack, the Germans en-
tered French advanced positions
positions over a front of nearly a
mile, capturing thousand pris.
Oners. ...-..-..
The Germans also claim to have
driven the French from the
Meuse peninsula.
What may mean renewal Of
the German drive on Verdun, in the
terrific force which marked the
initial attack, is contained in the
announcement from Paris today
that the b0mbardment to the north
of the fortress is assuming greater
intensity.
The heaviest infantry fighting Of
last night seems to have been in
the WOevre district, south of the
fortress, where the Germans at
tackled and captured the village of
Manheulles. The French declare
that in a counter attack they at
tanned the western boundary of
the village, which they now hold.
The German attack, while still
continuing, has apparently less
driving power, while the pressure
is being shifted from point to
point.
Meanwhile the French are not
idle and are delivering vigorous
counter strokes. When attacked,
their lines in the stronger posi-
lions they now occupy are holding
firmer.
Estimates OF the number Of Ger
mans in the great battles are con-
siderably larger than the 100000
men believed to have been in the
initial operations. Some author
tiles now declare there are as
many as 100000 troops fighting on
the German side.
On the Russian front fighting
is reported from Riga to Galicia,
although no important gains have
been made by either side.
The Russians are pursuing the
Turks who evacuated Erzerum,
and the British inflicted heavy
loss on the Turks on the Tigris
river. The British also killed many
tribesmen in the lighting in west
ern Egypt.
The Austrians claim TO have re-
pulsed an Italian attack with
heavy losses near Monte San
Michele.
Germany has not modified her
notice that all armed merchant
men will be treated as warships,
beginning tonight at midnight.
Casualties of the British forces
in the various fighting areas pub
lished during February tOtaled
739 officers and 17,s47 men.

METHOD|STS Get
POISON BANQUET
SCARE; many ILL
San Francisco, Feb. 29.-Nearly fifty

San Francisco, Feb. 29-Nearly iifty
guests, all Methodist ministers and
their wives became seriously i'll after
partaking of food which is alleged to
have been poisoned at banquet given
by Methodist ministers in the Howard
Street Methodist church here Feb. %.
The first official report Of the affair
was made last night to the Methodist
Ministers association by Rev. Samuel
Quickmire, pastor of the church. No
report of the incident had been made
to the police early today.
The report of Dr. Quickmire re-
sembled in many respects the Chicago
banquet given in honor of Archbishop
George W. Mundelein of the Catholic
church recently at which many of the
guests were poisoned.
Most of those who became Ill did not
feel distressed until after they had
reached their homes, although two or
three, feeling slightly i'll. we're forced
to leave the banquet hall before the
termination of the meal and summon
medical aid.
According to DR.. Quickmire, no an
alysis was made of the food supposed
to be poisoned and none of the suf-
ferers was positive which course had
caused his or her illness. Most of the
victims, he said, were of the opinion
that the ice cream contained poison
My wife and Mrs. Paul Smith, wife
Of the pastor of the Central Methodist
church." said DR.. Quickmire, were
among those who showed most plainly
the effect of either improper food or
poison

MIDNIGHT SET FOR TEUT0N DECREE
Warning by
Wireless Is
enTQnker

New York, Feb. Wireless warn
ing that a German commerce raider,
possibly accompanied by consorts,
was attacking shipping in the Atlantic,
were received by the Standard Oil
tanker Communipaw, which arrived
here today from Algiers.
The first message was received Feb.
II and was partly in code. 1t read:
"Abmd calling caaw and reported
being chased by suspicious ship
which she believes to be a German
raider. Position web and WINK Course
west"
The Communipaw was some miles
south of the Azores when this message
was received. At noon a second mes
sage apparently from the same ship
said. Altered course to wpn and
ma"
The third and most significant mes
sage was received about o'clock that
evening. Its text was: German
steamer is attacking shipping In the
Atlantic and may be assisted by cap
tured vessels which she armed. De-
scription. 5000 tons, speed. Is knots,
combination freight and passenger
steamer. Carries two guns and is pos
ing as neutral"
The Communipaw was the center of
sensational rumors last December
when it was reported that she had
been attacked and sunk by a subma-
rine in the Mediterranean. After some
days during which Washington tried in
vain to ascertain her whereabouts,
she put into Algiers and her captain
denied that any attack had been made.

President and Members Con.
sidering Arguments in
Berlin Document.
ANNOUNCE ATTITUDE
Stand to Be Taken by United
States Made Known
After Meeting.

Washington. D. c., Feb. 29.-The lat
est formal note from Germany regard
ing the future conduct of submarine
warfare was before President Wilson
and his cabinet for consideration to-
day,
The note reiterates assurances given
in the Lusitania case, declares that
those assurances have not been modi-
fed by the announced intention to
treat armed merchant ships of the
enemy as auxiliary cruisers after
midnight tonight, and attempts to
Justify the new policy by presenting
evidence and assertions designed to
prove that Great Britain has instruct
ed her merchantmen to use their ar
mament for attack in violation Of as
surances given the United States.
To Announce Stand.
Oficial indication Of what attitude
the United States may take regarding
the note was expected TO follow the
cabinet meeting.
However, what is considered by
Secretary Lansing as the all-import-
ant element in the situation, is copy
Of the so-called British instructions to
shipmasters to hunt for submarines,
which have not arrived from Berlin,
where they were handed to Ambassa-
dor Gerard. Pending their receipt
and a subsequent decision regarding
the attitude of the United States, the
state department is prepared to con-
slider any overt act committed by the
Teutonic submarine commanders In the
light Of the facts. The department, il
was said. would not act on the case OF
an American who sustained injuries
aboard a vessel which it could be def
nitely established carried guns for Of
fensiVe purposes.
British Deny Allegations.
II was indicated in British diplo-
matte circles that the allegations OF
Germany would be fatty denied. 1t
was said that British masters had not
been instructed. to hunt submarines
that they had been told to avoid the
craft and that only in event Of sub
marine approaching without warning
were the shippers authorized to use
their guns.
The state department Is understood
to feel that the possibility Of diff
culties arising in the near future as a
result Of the new German and Aus
trian policy is more or less remote
Officials believe that commanders OF
the undersea boats will take particular
care not TO attack without warning
armed merchant vessels on which
there may be Americans.
Lansing Refutes Statement.
Secretary Lansing today issued this
statement:
IN view Of publication this morn
ing Of what purports to be the view OF
the state department on the communi-
cation received yesterday from the
German ambassador, I wish to say that
The contents of the communication
have not been made public by me and
that any statement as to the views Of
The state department on the communi-
cation are unauthorized.
