 The major said that while possibly the government might not be justified in building the dam in the interest of navigation, it would help navigation, and was justified in the advantage the government would have in the leasing of water power, which would pe dis posed of to existing water power conn panies.

BLOODY STRUGGLE
 IS RAGING AROUND
 FORT DOUAUMONT
Germans Inaugurate I'm pOrtant Movement in the Champagne, Capturing 1000 French Troops-Rus- sians Pursuing Turks

London, February 2S.-The tide of battle around verdun apparently has not turned in favor of either side. While the Germans claim further ad- vances, the French are equally em- phatic in their assertion that they checked the attacks of the masses of German infantry sent against them
 Fort Douaumont has fallen to the Germans, but it is reported to be in ruins Around this position the most desperate fighting of the battle has been going on since Friday Here French counter attacks were delivered with such crushing force that some of the German attachments were driven back, and one regiment is al- most encircled. To the west of this fort, in a hand-to-hand encounter, the French have elected the Germans from a small redoubt which they had cap- tured
 Throughout the entire sector of Yer dun, except on the western bank of the Mouse river, where the German bombardment has slack ened somewhat, the artillery duels are still of vast pro- portions
 CAPTURE 1000 PRISONERS To the southeast, the French at Fresnes, in the Woevre region, have put down two German attacks against that town but the Germans have in- augurated an important movement in the Champagne district, where by surprise attack. they succeeded in en- tering French advanced positions of g supporting trench over front of ! nearly mile, capturing more than 1000 men.
 Notwithstanding the fresh reserves the French have thrown into the fray at Sort Douaumont, tae Gefman 'yar office declares that their efforts have z been fruitless and that the Germans have advanced their lines toward Bras and vacherauville. It also is claimed that the Germans have entirely ex- pelled the French from the Mouse pe- ninsula, southward from Samogneux and west of yacherauville
 On the Russian front around Fried richstadt and Illoukst there has been heavy artillery, machine gun and rifle firing. In Galicia the Russians re- pulsed an attempt by the Austro Hun garians to capture trenches on the middle Stripa river.
 The Austrians. according to Vienna, have put down with sanguinary losses an Italian attack against positions on both sides of Monte San Michele and east of Azzo. and also destroyed an Italian trench on the Gorizia bridge head.
 STILL AFTER TURKS
 The Russians are still operating suc- cessfully against the Turks, who fled from Erzerum. and the Ottoman forces in the Persian war zone. Farther south in Mesopotamia, bombardment by the British of Turkish camp on the left bank of the Tigris river resulted in heavy casualties to the Turks.

 Postoffice inspectors admitted that other pouches containing currency consigned to New York banks were on the truck, and while protesting ignorance Of the amount said that such cosngnments frequently ran as high as $l.o0o,OOO and more It is believed that this currency was the booty sought
 The robbery. the inspectors said, was done by some one who had keys both to the mail truck and the pouches. No dam age was done to the lock on the truck and the rifled pouches reached the post office undamaged. The inspectors an- nounced expectations of arrests in the case in few days.

Woburn, Mass. February 29. With a shock that broke windows 12 miles distant the Tri-Nitro- Toluol plant of the New England Manufacturing company blew up early today. Only one man, Frank Goornett an employe, was hurt. so far as early reports showed. His injuries were said not to be serious.

United States Undertakes Develop ment of Resources of Turbulent IsIand-Treaty in Virtual Opera
 ton Under Eyes of Marines

Washington, February 2S.-The Sem ate late today unanimously ratified the treaty with Haiti, under which the United States assumes a proteetorate over the turbulent island republic talk ing over control of it's finances and police, guaranteeing it's territorial in- tegrity and undertaking to develop it's resources. The treaty already has been approved by the Haitian Con gress, and it's terms virtually are in operation under the eye of strong American marine expedition. This treaty was negotiated last year with the D'Artiguenave government set up after marines and bluejackets under Rear Admiral Caperton had put down the revolution which overthrow President vilbrun Guillaume During the preceding few years Haiti has seen eight Presidents deposed and most of them murdered or exiled. Guillaume was dragged from the French legation and killed. The possibility of Euro pean intervention to protect foreign lives and property and insure the pay ment of foreign loans was being dis cussed when the American forces took charge of affairs on the island.
 PROVISIONS OF TREATY
 The principal articles of the con- vention provide for
 American supervision of finances and the collection of customs

ONLY 26O SAVED

London, February 2S.-Of the total com plement of 456 passengers and crew on the Peninsular and Oriental line steamship Maloja, which struck a mine and sank within half an hour two miles off Dover yesterday, only 3O1 are known to have been saved
 Of the total of 119 passengers, 70 names of persons saved have been received at the steamship company's offices It was stated there that it is hoped that more names of persons saved will still be re- ceived.
 The bodies of three more Lascars of the crew of the Maloja have been washed ashore, making the total of bodies recov- cred 47

IDENTIFYING BODIES

Many relatives are arriving at Dover for the purpose of endeavoring to Identify bodies.
 Among those rescued yesterday was d baby, warmly clad, which was floating on it's back The child was discovered by a patrol boat and was taken into the en- zine room. After being warmed it smiled at it's rescuers and seemed none the worse for the immersion
 The British press is almost unanimous in assuming that the Maloja and other vessels sunk by mines during the week end were victims of fresh sowing of German mines. There is much specula- ton as to how these could have been laid The theory most frequently ad- vanced is that certain class of neutral shipping was employed.
 The Pall Mall Gazette suggests that such operations may drive England to still more stringent supervision of neu- tral shipping than has yet been exercised.
