degradation of the American Senate

Direction of Fighting

From the region of Malancourt,
west Of the Meusc. to the Woevre re-
sion, east of Verdun. the lombard
ments are violent, the Germans are
endeavorinS to force their way closer
to the fortress of Verdun and the
French tenaciously striving to hold
them back. Several assembling points
of the Germans have been vigorously
shelled by the French, especially in
the vicinity of Peumont.
British Gains
The Germans admit in the region of
Ypres the British recaptured the po-
sitions the Germans took from them
Feb. IA, but say that they We're imme-
diately driven out of most of them.
The British, however, declare that they
have consolidated their positions.
There has been considerable artillery
activity in the Argonne forest and in
upper Alsace and infantry engage
ments in which elements of German
trenches were taken by the French.
Comparative quiet prevails on the
Russian front. Along the line in the
Alps and on the Isonzo river sector the
Austrians and Italians continue their
bombardments and attacks here and
there by infantry, but without mate
rally changing the positions.
Russians Take BitIis
The Russians have captured the i'm
portant town of Bitlis, in Turkish Ar
menia, and elsewhere in the Caucasus
region and in Persia are keeping up
their vigorous offensive against the
Ottoman forces.

Turkish army headquarters says the east

rance.
Turbulent Scene
In turbulence such as is seldom wit
messed in the Senate the voting pro-
ceeded with senators shouting objec-
tions, futilely demanding recognition to
explain their position, and making hot
retorts to each other all Of which
were out of order. At one time so many
senators were shouting for the Vice
Presidents recognition that the SER
geant at arms was called to restore
quiet.
| After having Unanswered for two
days to get the resolution in such par
| liamentary position that it was dis
posed Of without debate the Senate
then proceeded to a general discussion
of the subject which continued all the
afternoon to the dismay OF administra-
ton supporters. There We're free ex-
pressions of opinion that the Senate
action because the vote actually was
taken on a motion to table the Gore
resolution with a correction by the au-
thor and substitute by Senator Nc
Cumber, was in effect a Scotch YER
dict" and had not actually accom-
plished the purpose of the President.
Such statements aroused the Presi-
dents friends, who feared they would
have an effect exactly opposite to that
intended-a notice to the world that
the Senate stands behind he President
in his demand on Germany for the
rights Of Americans travelling the
seas.
House Action
In the House, however, the foreign
affairs committee. by vote of II to
.. took longer step toward meeting
fully the Presidents wish. 1t voted to
report the McLemore warning reso-
luton, with the recommendation that
it be tabled. In the report the commit
tee asserts that the Constitution i'm
poses the conduct of diplomatic nego-
tiations on the President and with
this practice the committee does not
feel it proper for the House of Rep
resentatives to interfere" 1t probably
will be voted on in the House tomor-
row, under a special rule. Administra-
ton forces are confident Of full
f1edged victory, despite the influence
of the Senate debate.
White House Satisfied
At the White House satisfaction was
expressed with the Senate's action.
Senator Gore voted for the motion
to table and declared he considered the
administration victory mixed one.
