London, March 29.-Tbe German aRmy of the crown prince has made
 further advance against Verdun

 The Germans stormed French po- sitions north of Malancourt on a
 front of mile and a quarter, pene-
 trating to a depth Of several lines
 and entering the village itself. It is
 their greatest gain of week in the drive on the Paris-Verdun railway, main artery of supply for the fortress. In a counter offensive in the AvO- court region, the French after a
 strong bombardment, broke through the German defenses in the south
 eastern corner of Avocourt wood to a depth of more than 300 yards, carry
 ing strongly fortified redoubt. Four German counter attacks were rc- pulsed. The first of these assaults l was launched the moment the French
 advance halted. Later in the day ! three more broke down before the 1 French fire.
 The German advance north of Malanc ourt was made over fields l ttered with bodies of their comrades
 who fell in the unsuccessful attack of 1 the day before. The German drum ] fire had been brought to bear against ! the French defenses early in the day and long lines of wire entanglements were wiped out. Tn many places the

CONGRESS SCORED

Chairman of Senate Military Affairs Committee Holds Law.Makers Responsible for Delay in
 Chasing Villa.

Washington, March 29.-The day in the house was confined largely to the ] consideration of a resolution from the census committee, authorizing the department of commerce to make a thorough census of the output of crt. tonseed and cottonseed oil. The measure was passed after several hours of discussion. Two bills designed to meet the cen. stantly increasing price of gasoline were introduced in the house. Repre- sentative Howard of Georgia present. ed a bill imposing an embargo on the export of gasoline and other petro-
 leum products, and giving the pres : cent authority 10 enforce the en- bargo. Representative g. Teinerson of Minnesota introduced a bill giving
 the federal trade commission au- thoriiy to fix the price of petroleum, gasoline and fuel oil.
 Assistant Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt of the navy continued his testimony before the naval affairs 1ommittee. He asserted that this country should double the naval p'o- gram proposed by the administration and lay down eight capital ships at
 once. s@
 The senate began consideration Of the Chamberlain bill, increasing the regular army to 254,000, war strength,
 creating volunteer army of 261, ,000, and raising the national guard to 2S0,000.
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military affairs committee, criti- , cised the expedition for failing to get an early start after Villa, but placed
 the blame on congress for not pro- vding adequate preparedness. He de- clared the aviation service notoriously weak, but charged this also to con- gress for failing to appropriate sum
 sufficient to bring the corps up to an efficient standard. Senator Simons reported the sugar

British Relieve French.

London, March 30.-(Thursday)--A dispatch issued by Reuters semi official agency this morn'n ng from the British Headquarters in France say that the British armies have taken over a length of the line previously held by the French. It states that the new dispositions were carried out with great skill and secrecy, and a result of them has been the release of large French forces who are of great value in another area. The British are probably holding some thing like one-fourth of the entire length of the western front extend ing in an unbroken Yser line from the Yser to the Somme.

 The Brough headquarters are mak- ing every effort to get returns first from the counties In eastern Arkan- sas. Virtually all are in except Poin- sett.
 St. Francis county may go to Hodges, but 1t will he close. The Pal estine box may cause trouble, as 1t contained only Rrough votes, where as already the Brough campaign man. agers in that county have twelve affi- dayits from men who cast their bal lots for him.
 Brough has carried Greene, Missis- sippi by 200. Craighead by 500 or more. In Lee county, his lead can not be overcome.

It charges the United States with entire responsi- tility for the existing muddled situa- tion and the border raids. The chief value of the statement is that it re- veals for the first time the mental attatude of the most powerful man in exec toward the United States. Ob- regon said:

San Antonio, Texas, March 29.- General Pershing personally is riding at the head of his troops. to the south- ward. He has asked headquarters here to give out no information of the movements of his troops or other details.
 The fact that Pershing is proceeding southward means that Villa also is headed in that direction Latest re- ports coming to headquarters say that Villa is making for Santa 'Catarina, presumably ranch, in the Santa Ma ria valley. The place is not shown on the map.
 General Funston, up to an early hour this evening, had received no official notice that General Carranza had given permission or the use of the Mexico Northwestern railroad for shipment of supplie ,sunder certain restrictions. sEN}
 Colonel Slocum has been ordered to make detailed report of the Colum- bus raid to the war department
 Colonel Sage sent word from No- gales, across the line, that the belief is held by the Mexicans that General Pershing has joined with Villa and lis prosecuting an active military and political campaign with the purpose of making Villa president.
 Washington, March 29.-General Carranza has granted permission to rse the Mexican Northwestern rail- wa for transportation of supplies to the American forces in pursuit or Villa. Advices to this effect were re- ceived late today by the state depart ment from Special Agent James L.. Rodgers, who is with Carranza at Queretaro.
 Secretary Lansing declined to give any details. It is understood, how ever, that Carranza stipulated that the use Of the railway would beb on 9 commercial basis" as suggested by the state department in it's instruc- tions to MT. Rodgers.
 Now that permission has been given ty Carranza to use the railway, it is the plan of the military authorities to make Madeira the principal base in Mexico. In anticipation of using the railway, the quartermaster's depart ment has massed an enormous stock of supplies at Ell Paso. Orders for their shipment to the interior will be given as soon as transportation facili- ties are ready.
 Car:anza's yielding to the repre- sentations of the state department greatly relieved the tension in official circles.

BOND REQUESTS
PEOPLE TO HELP
TEACH RECRUIT

| The United States army will secure
a very desirable recruit if some Rich
mond school teacher or college pro-
fessor volunteers to give young man.
twenty years of age, instructions in
the third primer, reader and complete
his instructions in writing.
Sergeant Bond, in charge of the
Richmond recruiting station, has been
the young mans tutor for month
but the teaching Of this prospective
recruit now conflicts with the SER
geant's other duties and he is appeal
ing to the educators of this city to
relieve him of his pupil and conduct
him through the mysteries of the third
primer reader. Once he masters the
third primer he will be accepted as
a soldier.
Resides Here 5 Years.
The name of the young man who is
seeking a rudimentary education for
the purpose of serving his countrys
colors is withheld to spare him of any
embarrassment. He has lived in
Richmond for five years. He is ma
tive of Kentucky and never attended
school.
The prospective recruit desires to
join the army to educate himself and
learn a trade. He is perfect speci-
men of physical manhood, of good
habits and is ambitious. When he ap-
piled for enlistment he vas greatly
downcast when informed that he
could not be accepted for the army I'M
til he knew how to write and read the
third primer, but he was not dis
couraged. He said he would learn
to read and write without further de-
lay and Bond volunteered to act as
the young mans tutor. Your army re-
cruiting sergeant is nothing if not
versatile.
More Training Needed.
Each day for the past month the
educate himself, in garrison school,
and to learn trade, has called at the
recruiting station, and each day Ser
geant Bond has aided him in master
ing his lessons.
"The boy can write fairly we'll now,
and he can rscite the stories in the
first and second readers backwards"
the sergeant remarked with great
pride today. Nov If some school
teacher or college professor will take
hold of this kid and put him through
the third reader it will be a big favor
to me and an even bigger favor to the
boy The government is willing to
educate him and teach him good
trade, but he has got to prove to Uncle
Sam that he can read the third primer
and write before Uncle Sam agrees to
take charge of him.
