SENATE MAY RUSH
ARMY LEGISLATION
Possibilities That May Arise
In Mexico Prompts Lead
erS to Speed Up De-
Tense Bills.

Washington, D. c., March 14-Sen-
Rtor Borah, republican, urged the Sem
ate today to drop all other legislation
and Immediately consider the national
preparedness plan in view Of the con-
sequences that might arise from the
decision to pursue Villa in Mexico.
Chairman Chamberlain Of the mill
tary committee, told the Senate that
in his opinion the United States army
did not have enough soldiers to cope
with the Mexican situation or enough
equipment. He added he would not
be surprised to see all Mexicans rally
around Villa.
Senator Borah gave President Will
sons determination to send troops
across the border to capture outlaws
his full Endorsement, but declared it
would be the height of folly for the
congress not to press for war prepara-
tions when no one could tell what the
present military action might lead to-.
All Central America, he said, was ap-
prehensive over the movement Of
American troops south of the Rio
Grande, no matter what the motive
might be.
Sparks of dissensions are constantly
flying from Europe over this hemis-
phere," said Senator Borah. mo man
knows one day what emergency the
country may have to face the next.
This defense program cannot be shaped
IN a week. It may take months to
formulate the plans for national de-
Tense urged by the president.
Judging from the present condition
Of this legislation one or two things
must be true. Either the president is
sadly in error as to the requirements
of the situation which confronts US.
or congress is sadly in error in its fail
ure to respond more quickly to the
presidents requests.
Certainly nothing can be less for
tunate at such a time as this. than for
congress and executives TO disagree
over this important issue. do not dis
approve Of the action the president has
taken in pursuing into Mexico those
who invaded the United States and
murdered our citizens"

TOO MUCH OF ONE THOUGHT
French Wine Growers Contributed
Little to |he Bodily Comfort Of
Their Beloved Pastor.

There is an old but very good story
told of a peasant congregation in the
south of France which decided to pre-
sent its well-beloved pastor with
cask of wine.
The wine of that section is good,
and the peasant wine growers are very
economical.
The wine is likewise very uniform
in quality, and to facilitate the dona-
ton it was decided that each contrib.
utor should bring in flagon and emp
ty it into the cask Of the good old cure.
The venerable priest was much de-
lighted at this exhibition of generosity.
However, when he came to bottle
the cask for winter use only clear
spring water ran from the faucet.
Each thrifty contributor had figured
that his fiagon of water would not be
noticed in that cask of generous di:

FORT VAUX BATTLE MOST
TERRIFIC OF VERDON DRIVE

Paris, March 1.-THE German losses
in the fighting around F"rt Vaux last
Friday and Saturday surpass all pre-
Vious records in this war, according to
officers who have returned from YER
dun. Time and time again, and with
extraordinary courage, the Germans in
columns four deep rushed from their
trencfec only to melt awaT under the
fire Of the French 72, $50 alSl 210 milli-
meter guns. When the smoke and dust
cleared nothing was to be seen but
heaps of bodies.
The spur on which the Tort is stu
ated is almost perpendicular in places.
The German lines were forced to halt,
but many Bavarian reservists climbed
up on one anOther's shoulders and
struggled up the slope, clinging to
angles of rock and grasping tufts Of
grass Again and again these human
pyramids collapsed into shapeless gray
masses. At the lowest estimate the
attackers lost two-thirds of their eff
fectives.
The fghtino was desperate, when
regiments from the Fifteenth and
Eighteenth German army corps at
tackled the village of VauX, on Friday.
Dawn was breaking and over the coun-
try hung a heavy white mist, making
everything invisible beyond 100 yards.
This enabled the Germans to get with
front trenches, but although they cut
numbered the defenders six to one, It
took four distinct assaults before the
first column Of Germans won the
shelter Of a small group of houses be-
yond the church Of Vaux. Then they
organized an assault upon the church
and the French, being unable to bring
up reinforcements on account of the
German curtain Of fire. withdrew their
advance elements Five times the
north Prussian regiments rushed to at
tack the church; but every time they
left the shelter Of the ruined houses
they were beaten back by the fire from
machine guns and shrapnel from the
French So milimeter mountain guns. In
the meantime, in their rear a curtain
of fire was kept by the French ISIS and
210's so that it was impossible for mu-
nitions and reinforcements to be
brought up for their benefit and the
fight died down on Friday night from
sheer exhaustion.

DISTRICT DRY" BILL
WON'T REACH VOTE
Senate to Pigeonhole Measure
to Apply Prohibition In
Washington.

Washington. March 1.-THE Shep-
pard national prohibition amendment
has probably been blocked for this ses-
sion. This was the information dis
closed today following a meeting of the
Senate judiciary committee.
The committee discussed the pro-
posed amendment but got nowhere. 1t
has had the matter up in previous
meetings with like results. 1t has be-
come apparent that the opponents Of
the amendment are trying to hold it in
committee and prevent it from going to
a vote in the Senate this session. The
chances are they will either succeed in
holding it in committee indefinitely or
will hold it there until late in the ses-
sion when a vote in the Senate can
be avoided. Senator Cummins strongly
urged the committee to vote on the
amendr .ent today and report it out.

AEROPLANE MAY HAVE
BOMBED SHIP SILIUS

Paris, March 13.-The first officer Of
the Norwegian bark Silius is quoted by
the Paris Herald as expressing the
opinion that the vessel may have been
struck by Dom torn rr9 an an
reported.
The first officers was on watch at the
time and heard a noise which he
thought was made by an aeroplane, al
though he could see none. Then came
a terrific explosion at about the mid
die of the ship on the port side. A
huge wave swept over the vessel,
drenching the men.
The crew got into boats with great
difficulty and cleared the Silius just as
n mast fell. A French torpedo boat
took all on board. The officers of the
t0rnedo boat came to the conclusion
that the Silius, on which there were
several Americans, had been struck by
a torpedo from a submarine.

APPEAL ALLOWED in
SLINGSBY BABY CASE
Question of Legitimacy of Al
legged Heir Carried to
Higher Courts.

London, March 14-The court of APP
peals has allowed the appeal in the
Slingsby legitimacy suit
In delivering the judgment of the
master of the rolls said it was impos-
sible to overrate the Importance of the
advertisement said to have been writ
ten by Mrs. Slingsby and inserted in a
San Francisco newspaper within a few
days OF the time child was born to
her. The advertisement called for a
newborn male infant.
Furthermore. the master said il was
impossible to doubt that Mrs. Sings
by called at the associated charities in
San Francisco and made application to
adopt child. The master was unable
to make himself believe that a woman
expecting to give birth to a child would
take such a course, which he said, was
repugnant to all one knew of the ma
ternal instinct. He held there should
be declaration that the child was not
the legitimate heir.
Judge Warrington cOncurring in the
opinion Of the master said he regretted
1t was impossible for him to take Mrs.
SlingSby's word without corrobora-
ton. He declared she was condemned
as a woman who had lied upon the
most important matter Of the adver-
tisement and had supported her lie
with perjury.
The case involves the question
whether an infant born in San Fran
cisco and declared to be the lawful son
Of Charles r. Slingsby and his wife,
Dorothy, is the rightful successor to
the extensive Slingsby estates in Eng
land.
A California court said that the child
was the legitimate heir, and a court in
England upheld that decision. An ap-
peal was taken and was argued in
January and February Of this year.
