sion among their own ranks in the

the McLemore resolution-similar to
Gore's-will be deferred to Tuesday,
Differences Of opinion in the house
rules committee, which must pave the
way for consideration Of the Nc
Lemore measure by reporting spe-
cial rule, were mainly responsible
for delaying action. which had been
slated for today.
Those favoring immediate action
harried the committee to report a
rule this afternoon, declaring that
the senate's confusion Of issues yes
lterday ought to be connteracted a'
once by the house.
Political arguments, however. fin
ally appeased such persons.
President Wilson's friends were
reported to be seeking republican
votes ON tabling the McLemore reso
luton, and they argued that few re-
publicans were In favor Of a stric'
gag rule" necessary to bring ur
the measure.
It was reported that the house
with Wilson's approval, might vote
strictly on the merits Of the Nc
Lemore resolution, instead Of merely
on whether or not 1t should be tabled
as recommended by the foreign com
mittee.
Advocates of immediate action
urged this on the ground that the
senate had tabled substitute PRO-
posal without realizing its provisions
and that the house must clear up the
muddle.
In the senate the question OF the
armed ship issue burst forth for a
time today.

FRENCH LOSE.
GROUND At
vERDl)N
Kaiser's Army Pays Fearful
Price IN Blood for Small
Gains, and Giant Howiizers
Now Battle Verdun Forts

London, Mar. 4.-Germany's effort
to break through to verdun today
centers around the Pepper" heights.
General Petain's French forces
have blocked the Teuton flank at
tempts to capture these heights thus
far. but fighting OF the most des-
perate character continues. Driven
out of Douaumont, Petain's men are
making their stand at a redoubt
about a mile to the southeast and
have heavily repulsed repeated
charges by the Germans who hoped
to cut OF the Pepper" heights de-
tenders.
The fire around verdun in the re-
newed efforts to batter down that fort
with giant howitxers, is as fierce as
In the opening days OF the great Ger
man offensive.
German sacrifices continue to be
enormous. The Teutons are rolling
up new regiments to smother the
French fire.
Douaumont Is almost entirely in
German hands. hut the French still
are vaiisntly fighting on the western
outskirts.
A new attack against the town Of
yaux, near verdun, is raging as .
preliminary to storming Of Fort Do
vaux.
The French were driven out Of
Fort Douaumont after day Of in
.fantry battling which started We'd
Inesday night. Thousands Of men
died or were wounded as the result
of the kaiser's determination to cap
ture this hamlet--a group Of 20
houses. But the significance Of the
struggle there arises from the fact
that from the town radiates three
highways.
Two German columns advanced at
dusk. The flare Of Illuminating
bombs spread over q ghastly sight.
Clouds Of smoke and darts Of flame
from the French artillery showed
clear cut against the bomb light.
The first lines were cut to pieces BY
the artillery and the French soldiers
counter-attacked.
All through the night the struggle
continued. At dawn, however. the
Germans massed their reserves and
stormed.
The awfulness of that charge was
related in a Paris dispatch today,
saying: y gssf tg trs
ION the first two occasions. the
enemy bravely reached the barbed
wire entanglements. but the hail Of
machine guns and rifles melted the
gray lines"
At last, however, success came to
the German standards and the
French were compelled to retreat.
The heaviest German attack was
dealt Thursday afternoon. Needless
Of the scorching French fire. the Ger
mans made their way through en-
tanglements and penetrated several
vital points.
Meanwhile, the German artillery
peppered the French rear, making It
impossible for them to bring up fresh
French reserves.
At nightfall the Teutons stormed
positions and drove the French
through the streets in hand-to-hand
combats. A counter-attack yesterday
the French in the out
skirts OF the town.
The Times Paris correspondent
today estimated the French casulties
in the early verdun attacks at s0,-
900. II was suggested that the tac-
tics Of the Germans and the fact that
Balkan brigades are participating
against verdun tends to confirm the
belief that Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen is now directing the offensive.
