WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March Special
Further advances by the Germans in
the Verdun region and in Champagne
are told of in the latest French of
fetal communication, which, how
ever, also records successes in repell-
ing a German attempt TO debouch
further from captured positions, the
driving of the Teutons out of trenches
they had taken and the hammering
with the French big guns Of the Ger
man organization.
After having vigorously shelled the
region between Bethincourt and the
Meuse, the Germans, in a strong in
fantry attack, captured the village of
FORCES, about nine miles northeast Of
Verdun. Not satisfied with the gain,
they several times essayed to debouch
from the village against the Cote de
| ole, but the French in counter at
tacks forced them back into the viii
lage and held them there.
In the Champagne the right and
left wings of the French were at
tackled near Mont Teutu and Maisons
de Champagne. AT the former point
the French fire kept the Germans to
their trenches, but near Maisons de
Champagne they succeeded in occupy
ing a small section of a French
trench.
In the Argonne the French blew up
a German post near Courtes Chaus-
sees with a mine and captured a por-
ton of the crater. Near Haute Chav-
auchee the Germans sprang two
mines and later entered the French
trenches at several points. Counter
attacks, however, drove them out and
the French also occupied a portion of
the main crater.
Except for the infantry attack at
FORCES, the guns on both sides in the
Verdun region have been doing all
the work. To the southwest of Metz,
near Pont-la-Moussons, the French
artillery has heavily damaged Ger
man positions.
The Russian, under cover of the
fire of their fleet, at last have been
able to make a landing on the Black
sea coast TO the east Of Trison, cap
turing the towns of Atina and Ma
prava and driving of the Turks who
opposed them. Two officers and $50
men were taken prisoners and two
guns and a quantity of munitions
were captured.
Considerable fighting between the
Russians and the Germans has taken
place in northwest Russia, the Rus
sian artillery smashing German
trenches in the Riga sector and dis
posing scouting parties in the vicin-
ity of Friederichstadt.
Owing to the heavy rains and ava
lanches, fighting has almost ceased
on the Austro-Italian front.
Berlin reports that in the zeppelin
raid over England Sunday night the
Hull naval depot was bombarded
with effect. All the German aircraft
returned safely. A British official
report says that Yorkshire, Lincoln
shire, Rutland, Huntingdon, Cam
bridgeshire, Norfolk, Essex and Kent
counties were visited. Three women.
four men and three children We're
killed by the bombs dropped and
thirty-three other persons were in
jured.

SECOND CONVICTION
 FOR BAFF KILLING
Frank Ferrara, Driver Of Murder
 Car, Is Found Guilty

New York, April 14-With the ears, Frank Ferrara, the chauffeur who drove the Baff murder car, was led out of the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court yesterday convicted of murder in the first degree. Although he had put up a stubborn defense at his trial, it took the jury only an hour and twenty minutes to reach a verdict On April 20 he will be sentenced to the electric chair together with Gius- epe Arichiello, the young gunman who fired one of the shots when Barnet Baff was killed in the West Washing ton Market on Nov. A, 1914.
 Now that he is actually confronted With the death sentence Ferrara, who is the most intelligent of the four men arrested for the Baff killing. is ex- pected to make revelations which will uncover the men higher up" who contributed to the murder fund of $4,5OO. Two more men, alleged to have been members of the murder squad, remain to be tried. They are the brothers, Joseph and Antonio Zaf- arone who acted as lookouts at the poultry market when Baff was lured out of his shop and killed.
 Assistant District Attorney O'Mal- ley, who prosecuted the Baff slayers, is convinced that Ferrara knows and can reveal the identity of the poultry merchants who procured Baff's mur- der in order to be rid of his compe- tition. This was one of the grounds upon which MT. O'Malley in his sum ming up yesterday urged that Fer rara be convicted.

any of which have withstood the test of art or time. The members of the two academies profess to see the dan ger of repetition of this same lack of taste in connection with the present war. The danger is impending, the academies believe, thot every German city, big and little will try to outdo every other city in immortalizng it's fallen sons, whereas it is highly de- Sirable that efforts in this direction be combined rather than working in competition. The academy members suggest rather one national memorial which in solemn form shall express gratitude to God and patriotic inspir- atiOn. Toward such an end, they de- clare, the art of the sculptor in it's highest form would be called into re- quisition to honor suitably in stone and metal all those men who by word and deed have helped to make Ger many unbeatable.

 The government charges that rebel agents are offering prominent Chinese in Singapore and HOnk Kong all sorts of concessions in return for financial assistance, and are represeting the success of the revolution as assured if sufficient funds can be realized.
