a modest compensation for necessary

Beginning with fourteen patrons the

in the winter our output for January,
February and March was about equal

WESTERN COAST Is POORLY
DEFENDED.

Washington, d. c., Feb. rs. Rear
Admiral Cameron M. Winslow, com.
mander in chief Of the Pacific fleet, re-
sumed today his testimony before the
house naval committee.
When he left the witness stand yes
terday Admiral Winslow was testify
ing regarding the Pacific feet, and the
committee questioned him further on
the subject today. He had smilingly
admitted that the entire feet might
be an easy victim for single good
enemy battleship. He declined to re-
veal, except in executive session, what
plans the navy department has for
meeting an emergency in the Pacific
or Atlantic, because, he said, they
were matters of strategy.
While this hearing was in progress
the house military committee was
speeding up its work Of perfecting the
army bill. In an effort to get the
measure before the house within ten
days it has been suggested that tho
committee might hold night sessions.

Success attended the efforts Of the

of the number fixed upon a. the goal
Of the canvass was accomplished and
enthusiasm in great gobs permeated
the dining room of the association this
noon when the workers gathered for
lunch.
That the bunch is full of pep is
easily understood when it is known
that some fifty mon representing all
businesses and professions as we'll
started out this morning to gather In
members. This army of workers was
divided into squads of twos and threes
and each batch was laden with num-
Der of cards bearing the names, busi-
ness and address Of the prospects.
Few of those called upon turned the
committees down and not great
many deferred decision, nearly all In
stead, responded with enthusiasm and
willingly subscribed their names to
the membership cards.
Except in a desultory manner, there
will be no canvass made OF the city

resumes and an appeal is made BY

ATTACK REHEARSED.

Paris, Feb. 25.-The Petit Parisien's
correspondent at the front says that
the great German offensive against
Verdun is under the personal direction
of Emperor William, who arrived at
general headquarters on Saturday, and
who, in order that nothing go wrong,
Immediately ordered that a sort of
dress rehearsal of the coming attack
be held At a given signal, the cor
respondent says, every infantryman
and gunner took the post assigned to
him in advance and the motions of
general attacks were gone through be-
hind the lines. The emperor seeming
ly was satisfied and gave the order
to begin the offensive on Sunday night.
The French losses are declared to be
insignificant in comparison with those
of the Germans. The German artillery
preparation, which reached it's height
on Tuesday was Of unparalleled vio-
lence. Every inch Of ground was
searched out, every point where 1t
was thought gun might exist was
Uttered with shells but the French
infantry was so well sheltered under
ground and the French guns were SO
well hidden that, when the German bat
teries grew silent and the German
infantry advanced to the attack,
Frenchmen sprang up from the holes
in the ground and opened a deadly
fire with machine guns, while shells
from the seventy-five millimeter guns
flew overhead and moved down wave
after wave Of the Germans as they
plodded doggedly over the snow COW
cred ground, urged on from behind,
