FRENCH BREAK vERouN DRIVE.
Kaiser Bitter Over Failure of Big
Movement to Cut Way Through.

Paris, March 2.-The German EN-
peror has departed from the Verdun
front and returned to Germany, &C.
cording to dispatches received here.
1t is said the Emperor is bitterly dis.
appointed by the failure of the drive
to crush the French defense and take
Verdun. Stories told by prisoners in
dictate that the Kaisers bitterness j.:
increased because of the fact that he
ordered the offensive against the ad-
vice of his best generals
In the meantime the survivors OF
the terrific assault are resting in cap
tured positions under cover of then
big guns. 1t is estimated that the pc
sitions gained by the Germans cost
them in killed or wounded nearly two
thirds of the 100000 men engaged.
The survivors are exhausted, and
French officers say that were it not
that they are unwilling to send theiI
men into the face of the German can
non they could easily expel the vic
tors from their captured trenches.
To the northeastern part of the
stronghold the chief effort of the Ger
mans seems to be directed to the
rescue of the Brandenburgers, who re
main cooped up in the ruined case

Thatcher Estate Pay s25o,ooo Tax.

The largest inheritance tax in the
history of the state, with one possible
exception, is expected to be paid by
the estate of the late Mahlon D.
Thatcher, according to speculation on
the matter already being INDUCED in
at the state capitol Mr.. Thatcher,
who died at his home in Pueblo, was
generally considered as Colorado's
wealthiest citizen, his wealth being
estimated as high as $15, 100000. Spec.
ulation as to the value of the estate
and the amount of Inheritance tax
has placed the latter as high as $780,.
600 and even $25O,0O0. If such tax
were paid it would bring the total
amount OF inheritance taxes collected
by the state inheritance tax depart
ment under the present administra
ton of that office above the $1,000.

tax ever paid in Colorado was $500,

stead of intensifying the fear here the
