PARIS, March German troops
late yesterday afternoon renewed that
terrific assault in the Woevre region
to the east of Verdun. The assault
was lost following a violent lombard
ment by French Artillery. The center
of the attack was at fresnes, but the
statement issued by the war office
this afternoon says that the French
troops repulsed the assault on Fres-
mes, which is seven miles south east
of Verdun, and also recaptured some
French sections which the Germans
had penetrated in their first drive.
Military critics are divided over the
plans of the German general staff
Some hold that the drive against the
French fortress of Verdun was merely
feint to cover an attack which is in
preparation against the Anglo-French
front at the northern end of the line
Other military experts believe that
the German offensive around Verdun
will be resumed with redoubled vigor
and that the Germans will launch
fresh masses of men against the
French

UNION CITY FAvORS
TRACTION SUBSIDY

Business men of Union city who as
sembled at a meeting called by the
Union City Community Welfare
league, unanimously approved the pro.
posed $15O000 subsidy for traction
line from Richmond to Portland to

in the subsidy amounts. to $4,000,
which will require large per cent
tax than is required in Richmond
: Judge Shockney, Judge of the Ran
dolph circuit court, is heartily in favor
of the proposed extension.
AS is the case in Richmond, the tax
payers of Union City are anxious to
learn the capitalists who are back of
the project. With the approval OF
the commercial interests of Union
City, the proposition will be submitted
to Portland, and if approval is given
by the business mems organization
there, arrangements will be made by
Fred Dolph, attorney of Chicago. to
call an election on the proposed sub
sidy.

Situation 10 Serious.
The situation could hardly be more
serious. A canvass Of the membership
Of the House shows that at the present
time the president cannot count on a
majority Of the membership. The
hoped for Republican support is alb
sent At q secret conference of the
Republican members Of the foreign
affairs committee today 1t was decided
that the sentiment was opposed to any
reports on any resolutions that would
deal directly with the present situa-
ton. AS far as the Republicans were
willing to go, would be to adopt a reso-
luton which would simply re-affirm
that the president had power to ex-
haust diplomatic methods before con-
gress could be called on to act.
This would mean nothing but would
rather tend to further confuse the
issue.
The Democrats are SO badly divided
that the leaders admit they do not
know what will happen.
Meanwhile Secretary Of State Lam
sing added to the confusion by admit
ting at his conference today with the
newspaper correspondents. that the
Submarine negotiations have been
suspended pending the outcome of the
present situation In congress"
This led to report which was very
widely spread but which was imposs-
fble of Official confirmation that the
president had decided that in event
congress refused to back him, he
would announce that the negotiations
with Germany and Austria over the
Lusitania and the Ancona were un-
satisfactory in view OF the Inaugural
tion Of the new submarine warfare and
would give Ambassador Won Bern.

SHORTAGE OF FOOD
IS FELT IN RUSSIA

PETROGRAD, March 2.-The food
shortage in Russia, due to the war, is
beginning to be keenly felt among all
classes of people. The ministry of ag-
riculture announces that meat may be
eaten only on five days during the
week, and flour has become SO scarce
that bread tickets probably will be
issued soon. The most important ef-
feet of the cattle shortage has been
the reduction of the meat allowance of
the army Whereas, soldiers were for
merly allowed heavy meat ration,
now they get one-half of the former
amount.

GERMANS TURN ATTACK
EASTWARD OF VERDUN:
FRENCH ARE MYSTIFIEO

Floods and mud followed the thaw

the reasons why the Germans allowed
their attacks to lapse.
Germanys next drive against the

between Rheims and Scissors, accord

Il wish in all fairness to state that
the president never stated to me or In
my hearing that he believed in any
way that war between the United
States and the Central Powers would
be desirable or would result in good
for the United States" said Senator
Stone.
II was informed that the president
told. the Senator from Missouri that
the participation of the United States
would bring the war to a close by the
middle of the summer. Is that right ?'
demanded Senator Gore.
Senator Stone said he had not at
tempted to quote what the president
had told him and that he did not pro-
pose to do so.

sustain or repudiate the president on
