SITUATION AT VERDUN
 PROMISING FCR FRENCH
Germans Apparently Only Try ing to Rescue Force which Is Now Cooped at DouaumOnt-
 -Estimated 75O,OOO Germans Engaged in the Battle in Territory.

PARIS, March 1.-The situa- ton around Verdun, according to a statement made by the war office, is now well in hand from the French view point. In the northeastern part of the stronghold territory the chief effort of the Germans seems tc be directed to the rescue of the crack Brandesnburger soldiers who remain cooped up in the ruined easements of Fort Dou- aumont. The French are re- sisting all attempts of the Ger mans to recover this ground but the artillery fire continues with such intensity that neither side can gain advantage near the fort.
 Military critics today express ed the opinion that the German forces, which Tt the beginning of the battle around Verdun was estimated at 5OO,O00, now exceeds 75O,000. It is stated that the Kaiser has left the front but this is not authen- tic.

CONGRESS WILL STAND
 BEHIND THE PRESIDENT
Assurances Given the Chief Ex- ecutive that Congress win Support His Stand on the Submarine Question = Con- ferences Being EIeld-ResOIu- ton Being Prepared.

-A-
 WASHINGTON, March 1.-- It is practically certain that Congress will back President Wilson in the stand he has ta- ken on the submarine and arm ed merchantmen question. As surance to this effect was giv- en the President this afternoon by Chairman Henry D. Flood of the House foreign relations committee after a conference with Senator William J. Stone, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, and Sena- tor John W. Kern, Democratic Senate leader. This conference was held at the White House, but the President did not at- tend.
 At an earlier conference at the White House today between the President and the admins tration leaders plans were made for bringing the armed ship ag- itation in Congress to an end immediately with a demonstra- ton of unity which would con- vince Germany that the Amer ican Congress stands behind the former policy of the govern ment.
 Wilson Wants Action.
 The President made clear that he did not want 0 mere vote on a resolution expressing the support of his conduct in the whole diplomatic controversy, but wanted vote on a reso- lution warning Americans off armed ships. The administra- ton forces stated that they could beat the proposition.
 The President, it is believed, thought it would be unfair to compel Republican Senators and Representatives either to vote for a proposition showing con- fdence in the administrations general foreign policy, or to vote against the administra- tion's course on the point that has risen as an issue between the President and some of the members of Congress. For that reason, he though it right and proper to limit the point pre- sented to Congress to that in- volving the armed merchant men order of Germany.
 Speaker Champ Clark and Majority Leader Claude Kitch- in were sent for and joined this conference. The former upon leaving the White House re- marked that This colleagues were anxious to help the admin istretion in every possible man ner."
 Flood Stands Pat.
 Chairman Flood stated today that a resolution passed warn- ing Americans to stay off arm ed merchantmen will not put the Congressmen themselves in a position repudiatiRg the po- sition assumed by the Presi- dent, position which now practically all claim is necessary to maintain the nations hon. or.
 The House committee will to- day prepare a resolution in- dorsing the Presidents posi- ton and it will undoubtedly be reported out under a spe- cial rule permitting immedi- ate discussion. Chairman Flood said: T am certain that such a resolution will be passed. The action on the resolution today, however, is doubtful as this is +44+ @$%+4%% . g q

NEW FERRY CROSSING ON
T.. LITTLE MISSOURI RIVER

A ferry has been established across
the Little Missouri river ct the old
X crossing, at a point between Grassy
Butte and Watford. The famous x
crossing, used as a fording place dur
ing the early days of the Slope
country, is about IS miles south of
Grassy Butte, and the new ferry will
open up for automobile and wagon
traffic a large stretch of country
which had been moro o.. less mex
cessible in the past. The road
through the Bad Lands has been
fixed up, and it is now possible to
driyc by automobile from Grassy
Butte direct to Williston, crossing
yhe Big Missouri over the new Wiz
liston pontoon bridge.
The people of Watford and vicinity
subscribed literally towards the build
ing of the ferry line, and as result
of it's installation that hustling town
should benefit to quite an extent
commercially.

LOCAL ATTORNEY STRONG
NORMAL SCHOOL BOOSTER

Leslie A. Simpson Of Dickinson
spent some time in Fargo the past
week on the combined mission of
boosting for normal school for
Dickinson and the proposed Society
of Equity packing plant for Mandan.
In an interview with the Fargo
Forum Mr.. Simpson had the follow
ing to say:
dickinson, firm in her belief that
she is the logical location for a new
normal school, and that the state is
in need of another institution to ade-
quately supply the demand for teach
ers, goes before the people of the
state in the forthcoming general cleo
ton with the plea that they support
the amendment crea ting the new
normal school," said Mr.. Simpson.
Dickinson feels the business of her
cause will command the attention of
every voter who enters the booths on
election day, and we hope, prior to
that time, to lay before each and
every voter of the state, facts on
which we base our claim for the
school.
$50 far as location is concerned, it
is conceded by all that Dickinson is
the logical center of the district not
now supplied by normal school. In
territory that is far removed from
the other normal schools; in a district
that is growing rapidly; where splen-
did new schools are being established
as rapidly as possible and where the
demand for competent teachers is in
creasing to tremendous proportions,
and where young men and young
women are now denied the opportun-
ity of gaining education beyond the
high school because of the big dis
tances to existing normals.
"The Dickinson normal, which we
hope to see the state establish, would
supply a field that is not in conflict
with the territories of any of the
present normal schools. 1t would
open educational possibilities to a
tremendous population.
"Two legislatures that gave care
full attention to the question, have
passed favorably on the plan. They
have submitted it to the people Of
North Dakota as constitutional
amendment, to be ratified at the polls
and western North Dakota is asking
that the people of the whole state
give to them the educational facilities
that are required for the full and
efficient development of the states
educational system.
"The fact that the state board of
regents, the two great political par
ties within our state, the North Da-
kota Educational association, and
many other public and semi-public in
stitutions, have given approval to the
plan, must be a convincing argument
as to the real need for the school,
