German Morale Shattered.
In February they had been told they
were to capture Verdun. At the end of
July they were told II would be suf-
ficient to simply dominate the situation
there. But when they had been reduced
In numbers to merely a defensive garri-

The seventh and last German massed
attack was made on both banks OF the
Mouse. July 10. The French checked
this blow Immediately and took the Of

tanned the initiative. capturing in their
operations more than 10000 prisoners. a
score OF cannon. and a hundred machine
guns.
Fighting Over on West Bank.
Fighting on the west bank of the
Meuse has practically ceased. Hill 30i
and Dean Mans Hill are now numbered
among the glories Of the past.
East of the river the Germans are
concentrating for final, desperate
struggle to retain the forts OF Naux and
Douaumont. Even on this sector their
resistance has been immeasurably weak
ened. This fact I was able to ascertain
personally Thursday and Friday. when
the German bombardment was let loose
as a prelude to an attempt to recapture
trenches captured by the French In the
Vaux Chapitre and Chenois woods on
Wednesday. This cannonading was in
comparable to the terrific fire from the
German guns that marked the early
fighting around Nerdun.

and war department today from Mex

lowing the trail of Villa and his ban

The state departments advices,
which included dispatch saying con-

retary Polk. Mr. Polk also conferred
late in the day with the Mexican

would discuss the subject of their

been made to shipments of munitions
which the de facto government is
anxious to get to Vera Cruz from

GUN PLAY IN
POLITICAL CAUCUS

iMuskogee, Okla, March 1S.-Faction-
al rivalries made the Muskogee coun.
ty republican convention today a
scene of riotous tumult, which was
not ended until j. G. Denton, one of
the two rival chairmen, was pulled
from the desk on which he stood and
arrested, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons into a meeting. With
his arrest the supporters of J. ]. Nc
Graw of Ponca City, candidate for
national committeeman withdrew
from the hall and the adherents of
James Harris of Wagner, rival can
didate for the same position, contin-
ued their deliberations.
The Harris and McGraw factions
tried to hold conventions in the same
hall and attempts to transact busi-
ness precipitated disorder until the
delegates came to personal encounter
and fought, clawed and scratched.
Denton's arrest was based on charges
in the warrants issued for him that
he drew his pistol and threatened

SELF DEFENSE

Frederick, Md, March lS.-Mrs.
Eloise Young, English, shot and killed
her husband, Arthur e. English, a
lawyer of New York, at their home

mer congressman from New Jersey

in self-dcfense, when her husband, in
fit of anger, pointed a revolver at
her. The furniture in the room in

Mrs. English was exonerated OF
the blame in the killing of her hus-
band, by a coroners jury here to-
night.

wood this morning she requested her
husband to let the elder boy quit on
account of illness. Angered, he be-
gan to smash dishes and furniture.

it in her dress, and later when her
husband took his revolver and threat
ened to kill her. she emptied the five
chambers of the revolver in his body.

assistant attorney in the department
of the interior. He resigned to re-
sumo practice in this city.

Washington, March 1S.-With vir.

increase bill reached the house to.
day, after ten hours general debate.
The house will begin discussion OF
details in earnest Monday, but there
are indications that opposition to the
measures, as a change in national
policy, has collapsed. No opponent
appeared during the debate except
Meyer London, the socialist repre-
sentative from New York.
The senate's army bill also will
come up Monday with the administra-
ton urging that the senate sidetrack
all other business. Interest center
ed tonight in President Wilson's atti-
tude as between these two measures,
which differ essentially.
Chairman Hay of the house mill
tary committee described the house
bill during the debate today as "the
presidents own bill" Republican
Leader Mann questioned the accu-
racy of this description.
Doubtless the president favors
the best he can obtain" Mr.. Mann
said; 81 have no doubt he favors it
over existing laws"
Tonight, President Wilson let it be
known that, while he approves the
general features of the Hay bill, he
has not committed himself to it's de.

looking to the conference committee
which will adjust the house and sen
ate bills after passage, to produce
a measure which will have the presi
dents full approval.
Speaker Clarke closed the general
debate in the house, expressing ap
proval of the Hay bill and declaring
it satisfactory and as good as could
be expected under the circumstances

North Dakota will be the third
state in the Union to express presi-

the list, with a perfunctory endorse
ment OF Fairbanks as the republican
choice and President Wilson was en-

democrats. Minnesota expressed a
preference indifferently last week.

Unless all signs fail, the vote in

The bitter fight being waged by the

the senatorial nomination. This year
the factional strife is even stroEer
and should bring out more than the
usual democratic vote.
Politicians who have been over the
state the last few days say they
never saw less interest shown in an
election. The only spice engendered
has been by the Estabrook forces,
who have had their candidate in the
state the entire week. He conclnd-
