according TO a British diplomat in
close touch with the situation. because
she feared other countries might do
What Portugal has done, as the seizure
Of German ships makes a submarine
campaign much less effective because u
increases the available tonnage. This
official declared that Portugal only ex-
ercised her rights Of eminent domain
and took the ships with a promise 70
make compensation because she is in

to Gain Time for French
Troops Under Hail of Shells and Liquid Fire Give
Lives to Hold Village Until Reserves Come
Teuton Tactics Puzzle Experts

Paris. March 10. The story Of the
defence Of Haumont. one of the heroic
episodes Of the struggle around the
fortress Of Ncrdun. a. told TO CORE
spondent by a participant. reveals how
French soldiers died on the spot under
the concentrated fire Of heavy artillery
and the shock of masses Of infantry
in order 70 gain time for the reserves
70 come up.
"The Germans concentrated their fire
on Haumont at the outset" said the eye
witness. "They must have suspected
that il would be the centre Of our re
sistanoe. They undertook by syste-
matte destruction to prepare for the
capture Of the place without too much
loss 20 the infantry when they had
taken Haumont woods.
Every passage. every ravine, every
clearing and every crossroad that
could serve US was swept by deyss-
tating FIRE. The effect of the Smelling
was such that little by little our sd-
vanced lines weakened, and at 8 o'clock
on the evening Of February p the
Haumont woods were invaded.
The troops defending II resisted
stoutly and won local successes. but the
Germans came on. line after line, IN
increasing density. The Smelling, which
all night was go intense that II was
impossible to counter attack, increased
in fury at o'clock in the morning,
when projectiles searched every yard

 WASHINGTON BARN Furniture Lost When Children Play With Matches in Structure SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
Epson Chapel May Not Be Utilized
 Next Year, as Present Quarters May Prove Adequate-St. PauPs Enter tainment Complete Success.

Once more the citizens of this town have been shown the necessity of fire apparatus for protection from the ravages of the flaming monster. old Daly property on the Four Rod highway was destroyed by fire. The structure was burned to the ground, but the officials feel it could have been saved from total loss, if the means of extinguishing fires were availab ble. There seems to be con- siderable question as to the ownership of the property, it being said the place has changed hands three times within the past week. The house was a two family affair, one part being occupied by William zinke. The other part has been occupied for some time by the family Of the late John Bunk. Mrs. Bunk was about to move and had placed her furniture in the barn for storage until she could find suitable rent.
 The family which is to take possession of the former Bunk tene- nent was preparing to move in yes- terday. The family is of Polish nationality, but persistent question ing this morning failed to reveal the name. There are two boys about five or six years old. They made an in spectioD of the barn and it is said they were playing with matches A short time after flames were seen to leap through the roof of the barn and before help could be secured the structure was totally destroyed An effort was made to secure assistance from the New Britain fire depart ment, but the flames had reached too great headway when the department N as notified.
 The barn itself was only a frame nffair and the loss will not be great, but all of Mrs. Bunk's furniture was totally destroyed and the loss to her will be of some importance That good may come out of the fire is possible, if the remarks heard about town this morning regarding the pro- curing of fire appara tus may be taken as criterion.
