London, March 15.--German troops

patches through Amsterdam today
Bethincourt, Berlin says, is two.

French positions on Dead Mans
hill have again been put in peril in
the resumption of the Verdun fight
But German claims are contradict

mans are making heavy attacks on
this section following an intense
bombardment, but claim they have
repulsed all German attacks except at
two points between Bethincourt and
Dead Mans hill.
There is every indication that the
German assault on this front marks
the beginning of a great battle that
may prove the last phase of the
struggle for Verdun

$4,000 MEN ADDED TO FORCE
Plan Sanctioned by Wilson viii Keep
Troops at Maximum Number as
Long as the Emergency
Exists.

Washington. March 15.--TEe house
by vote of 236 to ! adopted a rcsolu-
ton authorizing the president to bring
the regular army up to war strength at
once.
Meyer London, Socialist of New
York, was the only one to vote against
the resolution. which now goes to the
senate. 1t ia expected to be speedily
adopted there.
Immediate Action Needed.
The war department decided that
it must bring the army up to full
strength at once because of the Mex
lean situation. 1t became known that
at their conference in the morning
Secretary Of War Baker and Chairman
Hay of the house military affairs com
mittee agreed that immediate action
was necessary.
The army now has 81 900 men It's
full strength is limited to 10000. The
resolution which Hay put before the
house authorizes the secretary of war
to take steps to raise 10000 more men
at once. 1t is understood that Presi-
dent Wilson sanctioned the plan.
Retain Strength in Crisis.
Following is the resolution proyid-
ing the increase:
Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives in congress assem-
bled, that when in the judgment of the
president an emergency arises which
makes it necessary, all organizations
of the army which are now below the
maximum strength authorized by law
shall be raised forthwith to that
strength and shall be maintained as
nearly as possible thereat so long as
the emergency shall continue provid-
ed that the total enlisted strength of
any of the said arms of the service
shall not include unassigned recruits
at depots or elsewhere, but at no time
shall said recruits exceed by more
than five per centum the total enlisted
strength prescribed for such arm; and
the enlisted men now or hereafter au-
thorized by law for any other branches
of the military service shall be provid.
ed and maintained without any i'm
pairment of the enlisted strength pre-
scribed for any of said arms"
Secretary Baker said the bill would
allow for the present about 5000
more infantrymen, LOO field artillery.
