Kestening and Haupt were held VI

GEnOIhNS ADMIT
DEFEAT At vAUX
French Hold Position Against
Violent Attack

Teutons Continue Violent Bombard'

London, March IA momentary
let-up in the desperate infantry i5ht
ing about Verdun is reported from
Paris.
The Germans have not again at
tackled on either bank of the Meuse
it is announced, but violent bomDard
ment Of the defenses continues, in
dicating that the respite probably is
to be brief.
Where the next German heavy blow
will fall military commentators do mol
attempt to predict. Recent shltune
Of attack from the region of Bethln
court and Goose Hill to the SCARED
battle grounds of Douaumcnt ana
Vaux, the latter five miles northeast
of Verdun, came with seeming uneN
pectedness, and, according to Berlin
achieved substantial results in the re
gion Of VauX.
however, emphatically contradlcts the
German claim to the capture CT the
fort and village of Vauy. The tori
was not even attacked, the war Office
asserts, and while German infantry
did succeed in entering VauX, they
were subsequently driven out, the vii
lage remaining in French hands.
Similarly, Paris declares the greater
part of CorbeauX (Crows) wood
where desperate fighting has been TAX
ing place, remains for the creates
part in French hands, despite German
intimation to the contrary.
The German war Office at Berlin ad
mitted that the French had regainei
a foothold in the fort Of Vaux. A
the same time the capture of the Ao
lain wood, west Of Douaumont, ty Tx
Germans was announced by German
army headquarters.
Both French and Germans agree the
crisis is at hand in the great battle

| nineteenth day, is expected to increase

hours possibly reach a climax.
/ More than 100000 men have beer
killed or wounded in the eighteen day
of battle. The German losses are e5ti
mater at $4,000. Major Moraht,
! German critic, places the Frencl
casualties at $1,000 to $4,000.
! The situation at Verdun is regarde;
as much better from the French view

cheered by reports Of successful re
sistance on the part of the defender
of the fortress. Notwithstanding al
enormous expenditure OF ammunitlCI
and unstinted sacrifice of lie, tn
Germans have failed to bend, muc!

The inference drawn is that tn
German wave has advanced as far a.

age on a large scale, which the Ger

baseball or other sports in profession
al way, A good ball player can of
course for a few years make more
money that way than in any other, If
he has resolution and cool head, he
can accumulate a little capital, and use
it as means of creating business
opening,
There are many instances Of noted
ball players who have sailed down their
savings, Famous pitchers are now
pitching hay, Vermont has at least
one conspicuous example of retired
well-to.do baseball twirler who is doing
this, Ray Collins, Two others, at least,
still in the game are of eminently the
right sort, Larry Gardner of Enosburg
Falls and Ray Fisher of Middlebury,
In all lines of industry many of the big
ex.leaguers are doing well and laying
foundations of substantial success,
When the leagues cease play in the
fall, the players get the opportunity to
lay the foundations Of some future
business success. They can study law,
engineering, farming, whatever appeals
to them and many of them do so. I'm
fortunately there are lot of others
who spend the oir-season in mere loaf
ing, or in work connected with sports
that lead to no business success.
Baseball life has many temptations,
The arrangements, of course, discourage
dissipation, but there is constant incite-
ment in that direction. There is every
tendency to free spending. Some ath-
letes have resolution enough to save
money, but too many of them finally in

credit for themselves and honor for

about the Vermont regiment:
1.-THE Vermont regiment is due to
leave for their home State tomorrow
or next day. Eagle Pass regrets to see
them go, Col. Reeves and his regi-
ment have made an envia BILE record and
leave many friends in Eagle Pass.

camp was turned from rocky hill into
one of the most convenient at Eagle
Pass, and the conveniences secured by
cooperation and united effort have beer
remark able.
eyes, we regret to see them go,
because they made good and were the
real goods. When they get back home
and are mustered out and again resume
their places in private life we trust il
will be final and that their services will
not be needed again, but if perchance
there should be a second call and order
be to report at Eagle Pass they will fine
a most hearty welcome.
