London, Feb. 28.-The Ger
man troops by surprise attack
took the advance French
trenches near Navarin farm in
the Champagne district.
North Of Verdun, the bonn
bardment continues with inten-
sity.
The French troops resist all
the German efforts to capture
the village Of Douamont. With
furious assault, Fort DouamOnt
is closely encircled.
The Germans are increasing
their activity in the Woevre dis
trict, taking a few positions.
The Germans failed in at
tacking the French positions at
Manuelles, on account of the
energy of the French artillery.
One thousand men, nine ma
chine guns and sixteen hundred
yards of trenches have been
taken by the Germans at Nava-
rim farm.
Berlin claims that all French
troops have been driven from
the Meuse peninsula.
So far as the French official
statement shows, the French
Verdun lines are holding firm. !
A German attack is developing
along the front to the east and !
southeast.
The situation is unchanged at
Douamont, although further
advances have been made by
the Germans north of Verdun.
No changes of great import
ance are revealed by the Ger
man official statement.
The taking of Navarin farm
is part of the German offensive
in the Champagne district.

LARGE PANEL SUMMONED AND A
MULTITUDE OF EXCUSES OF.
FERED BY THOSE WHO WOULD
BE EXCUSED.

This morning when the panel of
jurors was called in district court and
sworn, the individual members began
to offer excuses why they should be
excused from jury service, and their
pleas ran all the way from a plain
case of LaGrippe to mental incapacity.
The judge gave them to understand
that as American citizens they were
expected to do their duty and unless
TIE excuse was a very valid one. their
pleading would fall upon deaf ears. A
few who were able to present Just
cause, were excused and the balance
told to get ready to do business in
the district court. The criminal dock

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S.
In a note to Secretary Lam
sing by Ambassador Bernstorff
today, Germany assures the
United States that she has no
intentions of revoking pledges
given in the Lusitania case.
The note says that Germany
cannot conceive of any reason
for changing or postponing the
new instructions to her subma-
rine commanders to treat as
Warship any merchant vessel
armed "defensively," and
special precautions taken to
prevent unarmed ships being
attacked.
The note declares that Ger
man commanders have been in
structed not to destroy mer-
chant ship on the question of
armament, unless it is known
positively that such armament
exists.

attack upon the IOuaumont positions
held by the Germans, who are de-
clared to be maintaining themselves
there with difficulty, but in the
Woeyre region, east of Verdun, the
French advance posts have been with
drawn.
Large reinfcrcements are being
brought up, probably both forces, and
it is reported that the British lines
are being extended in Belgium and
France, in order that French troops
may be released for the Verdun
battle.
In the Vosges mountains, the Ger
mans also started a heavy offensive
southeast of Celles, but it was COM
pletely checked by the French. On
the other extreme end OF the line,
around Ypres, a British attack was
repulsed by the Germans.
Between scissors and Rheims a Wig
orous bombardment has been carried
out against the German positions.

Washington, Feb. 2S- Germany has
instructed Count Won Bernstorrf to
inform the United States government
that the assurances regarding the fu,
ture conduct of the submarine war.
fare given In the Lusitania and Arabic
cases still are binding, but that they
apply only to merchantmen of a
peaceful character The German gov.
ernment Is understood to contend
that armed merchantmen, without re.
gard to the nature of their armament.
have shown themselves not to be
peaceful and therefore subject to de-
struction without warning
The instructions direct the German
ambassador particularly to tell Sec
retary Lansing that British merchant
men armed ostensibly only for de
fense have not assumed the character
of peaceful traders, but that on the
contrary they carry guns. for the es-
pecial purpose Of attacking German
submarines. To support this claim,
the Berlin foreign office has sent the
ambassador for presentation to the
state department a list of at least
twenty incidents where It is claimed
British merchant ships have attacked
submarines.
