 DUMONT
French Claim to Be Holding Ground; Sensational Strug- gles Between Air Machines in Great Battle.

PARIS. Feb. 26.-An official state ment issued tonight mentions the san .guinary struggly around Fort Doua- mont. which it describes as an "ad- vance element of the old defensive organization of the Fortress Verdun.' a It declares that a position captured this morning by the Germans was re- taken by the French troops. who ad- vanced beyond and resisted all at tempts to drive them back.
 In the region north of Verdun the bombardment continues without ces- sation to the east and west of the Meause. Our troops replied to coun- ter-attacks carried out with vigor at all points assailed. All new attempts of the Germans in the region of Champneuville and LoC6te de Poivre. where we solidly established. were re- pulsed. A furious struggle around Fort Douaumont resulted in repulse of the Germans Northeast of St. Mihiel. our heavy artillery bombarded the enemy's hangers and depots.
 Tn the region of Verdun. Adjutant Neuvarre. in a monoplane beat down with a machine gun two aeroplanes, making five brought to earth by this pilot.

MINING MAN |S CERTAIN IF
 FUTURE
Representative of Eastern and Foreign Capital On His Way to Reopen Mines Near Big Sonora Copper Camp.

A C. Chariot, representing foreign and eastern capital and president of the Cananea Copper Queen Mines Co.,, with goddly share of enthusiasm over the mine prospects of the South west and the copper prospects in the world. as a whole, is visitor in the Warren District for several days. Chariot arrived in Bisbee yesterday from New York and will leave tomor- row for Cananea.
 The visitor is Frenchman by birth but has been a naturalized American citizen for over twenty years and has had mining interests in the state of Sonora for the past sixteen years. He represents capital from France, England and Russia. as well as the United States.
 He is on his way to Cananea to re- open the property of the Cananea Eastern. located within a few miles of the famous copper camp. The mine will be put in active operation as soon as possible and later other property. supervised by Chariot, will also be opened again.
 In speaking of the copper situation, Chariot, who has been residing in New York for. many years and con stantly since the revolution started in with the recent international situa- tion. says:
 'I can see nothing but good in the future. l am an optimistic by nature and the present situation. as it eff fleets the great copper producing in terests of America, will make for good in my opinion. Even should the war terminate at an early date. feel the demand for the red metal will con tinue very strong for years to come. Though it is repetition I feel that England must rebuild and a great part of that reconstruction will be made with copper The greater part of the metal must come from America and a big part of that supply from the Southwest
 
 Though the Southwest is now fam ous for its great copper mines. locat- ed in Bisbee. Cananea, Nacozari and few other points, I think the future will see other great properties devel- oped There are several in the embryo in and near Cananea district at the present time. Bisbee is the first and pioneer and will always take it's first bid for the plardits of the nation as big industrial point tho producer of a world of copper"
 Chariot. though French by nativity. refuses to talk war to any great ex- tent. He declares he is an American and as an American is satisfied with America in every way. He expects to remain in Cananea several weeks and then return to his headquarters and office in New York.

NAVAL IMPROVEMENTS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Experi- mental long range firing by the Allan tic fleet and information about naval batteries of the European war have convinced the Navy Department that battleships to be authorized this year should carry ten 16-inch guns instead of twelve 14-inch. Details of gunnery are confidential. but it became known the next target practice will be held at ranges up to 1s.00O yards, because of the fact that in the German-British crouiser battle in the North Sea. shots at 1000 yards scored hits.

BRADENBURG TROOPS
 WIN DISTINCTION
French Claim Regaining of Lost Position; Russians Claim Successes in Eastern War Theatre.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The French War Onice, in the latest official statement, describes the battle aroung Fort Doua- mont, one of the outlying forts of Yer dun, as desperate, but makes no actu- al admission Of capture of the fort by the Germans as claimed in Berlin official communica tion. Late dispatch es from Paris say confidence is felt in ;be ability of the French troops to withstand assaults. The army of the Grown Prince, engaged in terrific bat tie, has had it's way blasted before it recording to correspondents. by what is said to be the greatest concentra- ton of artillery fire known 10 history. Monster guns of the Germans and Aus trians. brought from Serbian and Rus sian fronts. played an important part.
 With the aid of these mighty guns the infantry pushed down the Mouse Valley and gained the hills southwest of Louvemont, four miles from the fortress and carried the fortified posi- lions to the east Berlin declares the  Brandenburg regiments particularly d;stinguished themselves by storming Fort Douapont While this was going on. Germans in Woevre were assailing the French lines on the eastern side of the salient. two operations appar- ently being designed to push in the sides of the projecting front by buck ling process. which, if kept up. will soon result in the fall of the fortress.
 Tho French statement says Fort Douamont is an advance element of the old defense organization of the old Verdun fortress and continuing says the position captured Saturday morn ing by the Germans after several fruit less assaults, was reached again by the French troops. who succeeded in advancing beyond that point and have maintained their ground The posi- tion referred to is not clearly defined Heavy bombardments by Germans east and west were met by vigorous counter attacks and the French resist ed attempts of the Germans to cap ture Champneuville and Pepper Hill, two positions of strategic importance.
 From Persia comes a Russian an- nouncement that the city of Herman scrah has heen taken by the Russians. This places the Russians within 150 miles of Kut-el-Amara. near which the British forces were stalled in an at tempt 10 relieve General Townsend. An official statement from Rome ad- nlits the evacuation of DuraZzo by the Italians. who recently were reported defeated by the Austrians on the out skirts Of the town.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Secretary

Accord ing to authoritative information the United States will in no event be party to such negotiations unless as- sured that lives of Americans aboard ships armed for defensive purposes will not be endangered, during the course of such discussion.
 Three days remain before German and Austrian submarine commanders Twill be instructed to treat armed mer- chantmen as war vessels. There is no indication that issuance of this order will be postponed. although it is ad-
 mitted that postponement would come

 ships. seemed convinced that such a
 measure could not pass at the pres

 CONGRESS
Federal Reserve, in Addition to Regular Army and Fede- ralized National Guard Fa- vored in Both Houses.
HOUSE AGREES TO
 TERMS OF MEASURE
Senate Bill Proposes that Reg ular Army he Increased and that a Compromise of Con- tiaental Elan Be Tried.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-A grow. ing tendency to provide federal army reserve in addition to regular army and a federalized national guard is manifest in both the House and Senate Military Committees. The members of both committees said they favored practical test of the possibility of forming a federal vol unteer army i'll peace times on lines similar to the continental army plan. It is apparent that intention to aboE- don the continental project was one of the causes leading to Garrison's resignation.
 The House committee agreed to the general terms of the bills and ex- poets to present. within ten days. a measure providing for regular army of 14S.000. a federalized National Guard of 424.OOO in five years and an adequate reserve system in both of there. with the organization of civilian training camps.
 The Senate committee agreed tenta- lively to plan under which training camps will be authorized in every con- gregassional district where sufficient men volunteered for training under obligation for war service. The camps will be under the command of regular army officers. The maximum to be raised by any district will be bat talion. or substantially the number proposed for the first year of the Gar rison continental plan.
