London, Feb. 15.-The Germans are
preparing for still greater offensive
blow in the Champagne region, design
ed to hurl back the French on Is
mile front from the Challerange rail-
way, according to dispatches received
here today.
Since early yesterday, a steady roar
of heavy German artillery has shaken
the hills of the Champagne. The Ger

explosive shells on the French posi-

Navarin farm. Paris expects the Ger

French Under Cover.
The bombardment was so vicious
that French troops were under cover
practically all of yesterday. according
to advices received here. Sharp

by the Teutons in the violent assault
of the preceding night.
The present struggles. beginning

spreading to every front and are be-

Washington, d. c.. March BY q
vote of 6S to II, the senate today
tabled Senator Cores resolution and
all substitutes submitted, to warn
Americans off the armed merchant
men of the belligerent nations of Eu-
rope.
This action quelled in the senate
the agitatian which has embarrassed
the President in his submarine nego-
tiations with Germany
The victory of the administration
in the senate transferred the fight to
the house Senator Gore voted to
table the resolution because he did not
favor the substitute, and said that he
merely wanted to get some expression
on il from the Senate.
Senators Chamberlain and O'Gor
man were the only Democrats vot-
ing against the administration All of
the southern democrats supported the
administration The other II anti-ad
ministration votes were cast by repub-
licans.
Voting TO table the Gore resolution
were 47 democrats and u republi
cans.

NEW PRODUCE HOUSE
PLANNED FOR HERE
FOR OPENING WHOLESALE
STORE IN HATTiESBURG.

Gulfport, Miss, March 3.-John Ber-
tucci, former manager of Frank Ber-
tucci & Co., of this city. will leave
for Hattiesburg today, where he will
lease building in which he will op-
crate an exclusive wholesale produce
business. There is no such enterprise
there, grocery jobbers handling fruits
only in a small way, according to a
statement made by him. Hattiesburg
has a high freight rate. continued Mr..
Bertucci, it being 65 cents per hum
dred pounds on bananas from New
Orleans, whereas from that city TO
Gulfport 80 cents is the charge. Ba-
nanas generally sell on the wharfs
at New Orleans for so cents per hun
dred pounds, so it will be seen that
their actual cost in Hattiesburg would
be $115 including the freight In car
load lots the rate is some cheaper
and that is tie only way produce
house in Hattiesburg could handle
them successfully. Mr.. Bertucci viii
return to Gulfpert tonight. but he
hopes to begin his new business in q
fortnight.
