Part of Haucourt Hill is Still Held
by French-Heavy Artillery Ere
Diminished in Violence.

London, March 24-The French are
still clinging to a pant of the tt g
hill of Haucourt, sout. west OF ~ .an
court, on wnich the Germans game a
footing in an attack along the font
between Avocourt wood and Ma an
court, northwest Of Fer-un.
Paris announces that the German
infantry attacks in this sector werl
not resumed during the night and INC
fire of heavy artillery diminished in
violence.
TIE bombardment east of t e MeIse
was continued with undimi. is ed in,
tensity. The persistence with which
the Germans are pounding the Frel h
positions near VauX and Damloup, n
this region, indicates that they pr b
ably are preparing fer new attempts
to break through in the sector wee e
their lines have been pushed ne-.res.
to the heart of the stronghold.
Berlin reports say:
"The German success near the For
est of Avocourt has been comp etc
by the occupation Of the French plint5
of support On the mountain rid sc
southwest of Haucourt. About 400
prisoners were taken. Otherwise t. e
general situation on the western front
Is unchanged"
The French bulletin states:
west of the river Meuse the bom
bardment diminished. The enemy d
not renew his attacks on the lit e
hill of Haucourt, about one xii meter
(5-8 of a mile) southwest of Nal n
court, part of which we hold.
EAST of the Meuse the lombard
ment has continued with violence at
several points on our front.
"In the Woevre there las been Nd
important development to report, with
the exception of an intermittent can
nonading.
"West of Pont-a- Mousson surprise
attack upon a trench of the enemy II
the vicinity of Fey-En-Haye resulted
in our taking several prisoners"
The German position before Verdun
is regarded in Paris as hope ess as
ever, despite the total Of their sue
cesses west of the Mouse. An officer
on the staff of a subordinate general,
who has been sent to Paris on spe-
cial mission, sums the situation up
in these words:
More even than on the eastern
side physical condit: rs in the secto:
of LIE Mort Homne (The Dead Mani
make our positions a great natura,
fort. The enemy's first attacks were
directed against steep ascapments en-
the north side. Now, in debouchin :

they are enflade1 by the guns on

" in the nature of a feint t. cover
the real objective, Vaux and Qua l.

soon the Germans must face the
problem, not of capturing Verdun, but

New York. The bill now goes to the
senate for immediate considerati +
virtually as drafted by the house com

An amendment by Representative

was adopted, 204 to 1913.
The Kahn amendment, proposing in
crease of the standing army to 220,
600 men, was rejected, 191 to 213. T Z
bill as it stands would increase the
regulars to 100000.
The Anthony amendment designed

was rejected, 1853 to 1873.
All provision for fxation Of nitro

Representative Gardeners amend

war, pointing out that during the civil
war only $4,000 men were o'Htained
out of 776,00O subjected to draft.
When the West Point section of the
bill was reached word came that the
senate had passed the Chamoe1'ai1
bill to practically double the ca sci
corps. The house, on mcti n Of Mr.
Hay, struck out the ent re section re

CHINESE SMUGGLING
 IS BIG BUSINESS
GOVERNMENT IS FIGHTING POW ERFUL RING OF EXPERT
 CRIMINALS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-A timely warning against threatened migra- tion of the population of western Asia to the United States is contained in the annual report of Commissioner General Anthony Caminetti of the inn migration service, made public today. The war and conditions immediately after it's close will stay the stream for time, but steps to head it off must be taken before the transportation in terests begin to cull the field for their business, the report declares.
 Immigration from the far Orient, too is problem still unsolved, the report sets forth. The systems heretofore de- vised to deal with it do not promise much improvement and machinery for enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act is not adequate or well adapted it says.
 Smuggling of Chinese the report says, has been combatted vigorously with the result that amateur smuggling has been stamped out to a large de- gree. Higher prices that Chinese are willing to pay therefore, it is said, has attracted to the business an expert class of criminals who use more scien- tific methods. A bigger appropriation is asked to meet the problem.

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS DISCUSS THE RESULTS THAT MAY

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 12.-As though the Entente Allies had been running away from the Teutons, the German newspapers discuss the fall of the Brit ish premier and say that his fall clears the situation. The Koelnische Zeitung says:
 "The enemy's last forces will now be brought in the field and when they, like the others, have hurled themselves vainly against the strength of Germany we shall find England ready for an honest peace"
 The Cologne Volkes ZeitunG says that the Germans can view political events in England with complete com posture.
 "The leading man," it says, Gin the most powerful of the enemy countries confirms by his resignation the failure of the war policy hitherto roflowed by the entente.
 'If the strong men in England now come into power this can only please us for it gives the hope that a decision will come all the earlier.

 RUNS HIGH IN
 WASHINGTON
Members of President Wil- sons Cabinet Expected
 To Remain in Office.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-In official circles here, it is thought that every member of President Wilson's cabinet may remain in office for another term. with the possible exception of Attorney General Gregory. However, should MT. Gregory insist on being relieved, Secretary of War Baker may be shifted into his place and Mccormack appoint ed to the latter's office. Speculation runs high as to whether the attorney general will resign or not. There are several who have their eyes on the position and may strenuously object to Mccormack. This would cause trouble, it is said.
