HOUSE IS SILENT ON
 HIS TRIP TO EUROPE
COnfers With President But Declines to Tell Results
 of Mission.

Washington, March 6-CoI. E. M. hhouse' Who returned from Europe yesterday after visiting Berlin, Lon con and Paris as a special envoy of Fresldent Wilson conferred with the presiueht today and told him of the results of his mission
 Col. House plans to remain bera until tomorrow and then return O New York.
 Col. House today parried questions as to the status of the armed ship controversy with the statement that those in Washington knew more aoout the subject than he did. He absolutely refused to discuss sany pending diplomatic questions.
 When Col. House returned from his previous trip to Europe as the pres ident's personal envoy, he consented to be quoted as saying that President Wilson was the likely man to restore peace to Europe. Today he would not consent to repeat the statement, saying that he desired to make no comment whatever the foreign situation.
 Col. House said he expected to see members of the cabinet and some personal friends before leaving for New York.
 When Col. House left for Europe reports were persistent that he went abroad to investigate the peace situ- ation, but that was emphatically de- nied by both President Wilson and Secretary Lansing.
 It was understood today that Col House expressed great admiration for the way American diplomats abroad were carrying on their work. He told the president in detail about the state of public sentiment in Ger many, France and England, and is understood to have had much to say on the feeling in Germany in SUD- port of the submarine policy.
 The president and Col. House talk ed so long this morning that the president was forty minutes late keeping his first engagement at the executive offices, a very unusual pro- 'ceeding for him.
 1 Col House is understood to have told President Wilson today that he found no more prospects for peace during | his recent visit to the capitals of bel l ligerent nations that he did on his visit last spring

DEFENDERS SKATER
 GERMAN OFFENSIVE
Picked Troops Wither in Charges
 on French Stone Wall
TEUT0NS VACATE VAUX
Artillery Rooms From Dawn to Dusk But While French Infantry Rests On It's Arms Ready to Spring Into Activity.

Paris, March 6, 5:45 a. m.-Yester- day was a good day for the French at Verdun, according to information received this morning and public con- fidence is greatly strengthened by the news Of the continued repulses of tho German attacks. In military and po- lltical circles lively satisfaction is eX- pressed regarding the situation and the opinion now begins to prevail that the great efforts of the Germans will be more easily disposed of than was at first expected.
 Having failed to make any impress sion on the Douaumont position and on Vaux, to it's right, the German gen. eral staff determined to smash the French left on the Wacherauville Wood-Cote du Poivre position. With out regard to cost, the best troops were hurled forward but with no more success than elsewhere. Pomeranians and what was left of the Branden- burgers dashed themselves vainly against the French, who stood as inn movable as a rock wall
 Germans Leave Heaps of Dead.
 As at VauX, the Germans finally fell back, leaving heaps of dead on the ground. The French infantry, SUD- ported by taeir formidable artillery, which will never henceforth lack am munition, showed themselves able to resist every onslaught.
 On the left bank of the Mouse ar tillery on both sides thundered all day long. The French infantry in that sec- ton had little to do, but it remains there ready for any eventuality though the military experts believe it is extremely doubtful that the Ger mans will attempt to storm the Mort Homme key position, for to do so they must deploy over d plain a mile wide under cross fire from the heights around.
 It is chiefly the French artillery which is involved in the Woevre fight ing. The French hold the outskirts of the village of Manheulles firmly and have stopped all attempts, of the Germans to debouch in that direction.
 French Losses Slight
 An idea of the relatively small per centage of French casualties in the Nerdun battle is considered as ueduC- ible from d statement made by a lieutenant who has arrived here wounded. Our losses,'' he said, are comparatively slight. My regiment, for instance, had only forty-seven killed and thirty-five wounded. This is small for a unit which has been act in the most violent of the fighting"

Attacks on Fort TaVanneS.

London, March 6, 11:40 a. m.-The Central News correspondent at The Hague says dispatches received there from the front show that the Ger mans are making vigorous efforts to capture Fort Tavannes, four miles northeast of Nerdun, but that the French are resisting them reSOlutely inficting heavy losses on the at tackers.
 Stubborn fighting continues near Verdun, the correspondent continues. The village of Vaux no longer exists. More than 10000 Germans carried out an assault upon the French positions at Vaux but, the correspondent says, were repulsed with large losses seV-

AERIAL EMPHASIZES
 BOMB ENGLAND AGAIN
Twelve Dead. Thjrty-three Injured in Attack By
 Zeppelins.

London, March 6, 1:45 D. m.- Twelve persons were killed and thir- ty-three injured in last nights zep- pelin raid. Three Zeppelins took part in the attack This information was given out officially today.
 The statement follows:
 'The number of Zeppelins which took part in last nights raid is now believed to have been three.
 After crossing the coast, the air ships took various courses and from the devious nature of their flight ap- parently. were uncertain as to their bearings. The area visited included Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland, Huntington, Cam bridgeshire, Norfolk Essex and Kent.
 As far as is known about forty bombs were dropped altogether. The amount to: Killed. three men, four women, five children; injured, thirty three. The material damage was: Two terrace houses practically de- stroyed ,one office, one public house, a cafe and several shops partly de- stroyed, and a block of almshouses badly damaged
 An official statement issued in London last nSnt Silld two hostile airships had crossed over the north east coast Of England. At that time their movements had not been defined clearly. Some bombs had been drop ped, which fell into the sea near the shore.
 The number of casualties reported is much less than that of the pre- vious Zeppelin raid, in which 57 per- sons were killed and IF persons in jured This raid, made on Jan. 31, was over the middle eastern coun- ties.
 The censor admits publication of a few incidents in connection with the Zeppelin raid. In one of the principal areas visited a block of workmen's dwellings was dem olished. A woman and her four children, all under nine years, were killed. The woman's husband was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
