anti-ally plotters plans new
campaign of destruction was be-
lieved today following the scut-
Ting of a lighter carrying $50 al
lied motor trucks, and fire
aboard the British munitions
steamer llvington in the lower

Head Is
Showed
by Car
Wheels

James ID. McCabe, 81, wealthy
and carpenter, miracu-
lousy escaped instant death at
1886 this morning when an auto
knocked him directly in the path
of a northbound street car at st.
Helens and Sixth avenues.
He was thrown so that his head
lay on the track directly under
the wheels of the car.
Search for Ford.
But instead of crushing his
skull, the wheels pushed his head
along the track for a distance of
six feet before the motorman
brought the car to stop.
McCabe was knocked uncon-
scious and was rushed to a local
hospital in a serious condition. He
lives at GIG North Fife street.
Police are searching the city
for Ford delivery car which hit
the contractor. Two boys were
riding in it at the time.
Crossing st. Helens.
McCabe was attempting to cross
st. Helens avenue between two
street cars, one northbound, the
other southbound, when the acct
dent happened.
Just as he had cleared the sec
ond track the auto, without any
warning, hit him, knocking him
under the wheels of the north
bound car.
After the wheels had pushed his
head along for some distance, the
fender threw his body free of the
car.

Defenses-
Y asst Loss

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The
Germans have captured the
strong fortress OF DouamOnt,
four miles northeast of Ver-
dun, Berlin headquarters
announced today.
Paris did not confirm this
claim.
II Douamont is captured, 1t
means that the first breach has
been made in the Verdun forts
and indicates the Teuton offensive
lis seriously threatening the
French stronghold.
1t is believed the entire French
forces defending Verdun from the
north and northeast have been
backed into the fortress under
the most terrific stroke the Ger
mans have made since the offens-
i've started.
Cote Dupoivre, the key to the
.city's northern defenses, have
been regarded as impregnable, but
reports indicate the French front
has collapsed from there to Pep
per heights.
Paris admitted the Germans
have assailed the armored
trenches and redoubts there.
The communique said the
French have taken up new posi-
'tions on the Mouse hills, but did
not state the definite location.
Most Bloody of War.
From Douamont the Germans
can lombard the forts OF Deyaur,
Detavennes and Debelleville and
can sweep the northern plain
about the city with a fire that in
fantry cannot withstand.
The present conflict may
prove the most bloody bat
tie OF the war. 1t is accepted
} here that both sides lost
: over 100000 men.
The French estimates that the
Germans lost 10000 men is now
considered somewhat high,
though nearly two corps probably
were wiped out in mass attacks
against the strongest field posi-
stions the world ever has known.
Undoubtedly the Germans havs
scentered all their resources on the
Verdun drive, hoping to make
their way TO Paris and bring an
early end to the war.
French reports indicate the
Germans have taken guns from
Russian Notifications to supply
their needs. Others we're brought
from Serbia.
The French have been thrown
back nearly four miles along the
eight mile front before the city.

Counts On
Congress

BERLIN, Feb. 26.--Germany
counts ON congress to force Pres
ident Wilson to retreat from his
position on the German situation.
the United Press was informed
reliably today.
Officials declined to comment,
but it is the general feeling here
that IL the armed merchantmen
decree is referred to congress, 1t
will pass a resolution warning
Americans from travelling on
armed ships.
Dispatches suggesting the pos
sibiIty that Wilson will demand
the recall of Ambassador Won
Bernstorff caused great surprise
here.
The United Press office was
besieged with telephone calls
from officials inquiring about
the truth of the reports.
Gerard and Won Jagow declar-
ed they had received no intima-
tons that the United States was
considering the recall of yon
Bernstorff.
The feeling against America is
growing daily more intense.
Bitter Against Wilson.
Public officials are frankly
bitter in their criticism of the
president for refusing to warn
Americans to avoid armed ships.
The concensus of opinion is
that the recall of diplomats
would have the worst possible
effect on negotiations.
Gerard, despite his recent ac-
cident, is now at his desk.
