Three Forts in Ruins !,
As Germans Hit Verdun

Special Cable 70 The Washington Herald.
Paris, March 6.-East of
Verdun three of the forts are
in ruins, according to German
reports received by way of
Amsterdam. The huge Ger
man shells, it is stated, have
reduced to piles of twisted
steel and powdered concrete
the forts of Vaux, Moulain-
vile and Tavannes.
These three strongholds con-
troll front of four and half
miles.
The Germans already have
undertake attempts to storm
the positions, heavy fighting
having been reported from
Vaux on the north and Elk 70
the east.
At the latter point hand-to-
hand fighting occurred around
the railway station, but the viii
lage, or at least the greater
part of it, is still in the hands
Of the French.

EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON
PRESENTS FORMAL NOTICE
All Neutral Boats Are Included in De-
cree-Protests of Lansing Still
Unanswered.

Any American or other neutral coal
carrying vessel whose cargo, or any part
of it. reaches German coaIing station
will be blackllsted by the British govern
mcnt, according to an announcement
made at the British Embassy last night.
Processing not to know anything about
the reason for the announcement the
Embassy officials merely stated that they
had been directed to make public the fol-
lowing notice:
THE British government has notified
neutral ship owners that any coal-carry-
ing vessel whose cargo. or any part of
whose cargo. eventually reaches German
coaling stations or German ships will be
included in the British blacklist"
Fifty o. s. Ships Barred.
Altogether, it was stated. about fifty
American ships of one kind or another
have been placed on the blacklist, which
means that they are barred from trading
with any British port. Included in this
list are all the vessels OF the American
Transatlantic Steamship Company,
three of whose boats were seized by the
British and taken before prize courts on
the ground that their real ownership
was German.
The United States has protested
against the British trading with the
enemy act. under which all business
houses in neutral countries are to be
blacklisted which have German trade
connections or German ownership. AL
though the protest was made nearly two
months ago, and the United States has
inquired as to the reasons for delay in
answering. the British government has
not replied.

Finds New Way to
Forecast Weather
By Study Of Solar Conditions
VIZ. Carothers Predicts Me-
neurological Effect on Earth.

A new system Of forecasting the
been discovered by w. +. Carothers, the
director of Carothers' private observa-
tory. at Houston. Tex, and was made
public yesterday by Prof Willis Luther
Moore, head Of the meteorological de-
partment at George Washington Univer-
sity and who was for many years the
head of the United States Weather Blu
reau.
Prof. Moore stated that the Carothers
discovery will enable forecasters to de-
termine what the weather will be two or
three weeks in advance to a greater de-
gree Of accuracy than they can at the
present time.
"All storms arc traceable back to
variations in solar intensity, or to pull
sations in solar intensity" said Prof
Moore. These pulsations can be as
definitely measured by the methods
found by Mr.. Cerothers. and the
weather forecast for two and three
weeks in advance, as is done by the
methods now in use for two days
ahead.
This feat of the Texas meteoroIo-
gist must be considered as the most
important discovery in meteorological
science since Franklin drew lightning
from the clouds and identified cleo
tricity. Mr.. Carothers has, in fact
found the key to the central law of
the weather.
Science of the solar system has ia
ken a great step forward. 1t will now
be possible to learn weeks in advance
the weather of certain days.

The midnight statement Of the
French war office admits this gain.
1t also admits the success of a Ger

in the vicinity of the recent Ger

lost.
During the day the Germans
launched sudden attacks at two vital
points on front of $50 miles, stretch
ing from the woevre to Champagne.
On another sector OF this front in the
Argonne region. they won a footing
in the French lines by a double mine
explosion. but later were driven back.
Follows Bombardment.
The attack on FORCES followed an
almost ceaseIess bombardment for
fifteen days of the French positions
west of the Mouse, stretching as far
as MaIanSourt.
With the coming of dawn this morn.

was doubled, especially in the sector be-

least. brought the Germans to a halt.
Against this latter front the Germans dur
ing the day launched no attacks. The
bOmbardment. according to tonight
French report. was only intermittent.
Southeast of Verdun the Germans are
concentrating tremendous fire against
Forts d'Haudalnville and Roselliers. Re.
ports from the front indicate that they
are trying to batter the steel and concrete
defenses into ruins before attempting to
launch infantry attacks. The war office
report makes special mention of the VIC
lence of this fire and the fact that so far
the Germans have abstained from storm
Ing action. The fire is concentrated in
the region about Fresnes This town is
still held by the French.
