In the fighting around verdun an
artillery duel Of great intensity is
under way on both sides of the Meuse

ENORMOUS GERMAN LOSSES

HNlAN EOSSGS
Paris.-Enormous losses were sus.
tanned by the Germans in their con
tinued assaults in mass formation on
the French positions, northwest and
north of Verdun. The Paris official
report said that the French curtain
of fire" from artillery and rifles com.
pletely checked these attacks.
Particularly violent have been the
attacks of the Germans to the north
OF Verdun, around Douaumont, the
village of Vaux, Fort Vaux, but, ac.
cording to Paris, they went for
naught.
The Germans were thrown in solid
formation against trenches of the
French bordering the foot of the
slopes OF the ridge dominating Fort
Vaux, which the latest German Off.
cial report said the Germans had cap.
ture, but the French brought their
curtain of fame into play and drove
back the attacking fo-ces.
To the west of the Meuse, midway
between Bethincourt and the river
the French have continued on the of
fensive against the Germans in the
Corbeaux wood and are officially re.
ported to have driven the Germans
from almost all of that important sal.
lent.
Hill 265. to the southeast, and a por.
ton of Corbeaux Wood, directly south
of FORCES, have been occupied by
them through strong infantry attacks
which were preceded by extremely
heavy bombardments. The town of
Fresnes in the Woevre also was cap
tured.

ARMY ENLISTMENTS
Show SERIOUS SLUMP
Disappointment in States Over Decision
to Keep Troops on Border.

The United States must retain about
IS, 900 National Guardsmen on the border
indefinitely. The 5000 units now under
orders to proceed to their home stations
to be mustered out will probably be the
last wholesale transfer. Hereafter it Is
likely that only individual units will be
sent home, as troops must oe held to pre-
vent the menace of another columbus
raid
below the minimum expected when the
bill increasing that force was passed. 1t
Is impossible for recruiting officers to
interest men in a proposition paying $13
a month. when every manufa curing plant
in the country is looking for men. with
a minimum for unskilled labor of 81 a
day.
Announcement that there will be no
further Withdrawals until the border pa
troll question is settled is a disappoint-
ment to most States whose troops in ac-
tive service have been irpportuning to be
recalled. A plan initiated by several gov
ernorS of Western States to send to the
border their State units which have not
seen active service to replace men who
want to come home. failed because the
War Department had no cash to pay for
the transfer.
The troops now under orders to pro-
ceed to their home stations are for the
most part the units which were sent for
ward Immediately after the President
ordered the National Guard modified.

LEE BALKED IN QUIZ
ON MILITIA'S failure
Senator Chamberlain Denies Right to
Question Gen. Scott.

\ clash between Senator Lee. of Nary
md, and members Of the Senate sub
committee investigating universal mill
tary service. yesterday marked the out
break of the time-honored legislative
struggle over the standing of the State
militia
Senator Lee sought to interrupt pro-
ceedings to cross-examine Chief Of Stan
Scott and Colonel w. C. Brown as to a
report criticiZing militia mobilizat ton,
prepared by Colonel Brown. Chairman
Chamberlain told the Maryland Senator
his conduct was neither just, fair nor
proper" and the committee summarily
cut on the examination.
Colonel Brown and Gen Scott were ex-
flaming that the militia mobilization had
demonstrated the utter failure of the
voluntary enlistment system. Senator
Lee. who Is not a member of the COM
mittee. demanded the right to cross
examine all witnesses. Senator Cham
berlain stopped him
1T seems to me-" he said, that it is
not just. fair or right for the Senator to
seek to impeach the proceedings of this
committee or the testimony of witnesses
under examination"
ical. said Senator Lee. "and l want to
get at the bottom of it."
This committee" retorted Senator
Chamberlain, 'is just as capable of de-
Gliding what 1t should do as you are. And
it will do it"
This report on militia mobilization -
said Senator Lee. appears to be anony-
nous. / would like to find out about il -
well, you cannot examine these wit
nesses now. The committee will take
up the matter" and Senator Lee was
forced to desist
The militia mobilization demonstrated
total lneff1ciency of the voluntary mill
tary service. Gen. Scott testified He
said the militia needed a year of training
before 1t could face trained troops. and
would not have been sent into Mexico in
event of war.
The presence OF the militia without
firing shot. accomplished results. 1t
prevented the murder of women and chill
dren. 1t prevented an attack on Per-
shing's flying column. 1t changed the
attitude Of Mexico"
Gen. Scott lauded the troops of Per-
sEing's column. declaring that their pur-
suit of Villa was phenomenal
