that the Germans gradually are
strengthening out the kink in the line
north of Verdun. Between Vcrdua
and Fort De Mare, which forms the
northwestern corner Of the Verdun
fortification lies the Meuse, and in the
western shore is broad stretch Of
flat meadow land which is command
ed by Fort De Marie and by its ad-
vanced batteries. and hence immc-
diate further progress in this direc-
ton is not expected.
Reports from upper Alsace tell Of
continued activity. Heavy cannonad-
ing is audible in the southern Vosges.
and in the so-called Sundgau. the can
nonadipg is especially vigorous in the
valley of Met2eral and the vicinity OF
Altkirch.
Further activity is reported on the
extreme southern German front along
the swiss border where the recent
capture of French trench improved
the German line generally. Activity
here and at other points beside Yer
dun indicates a general attack along
the whole front naturally cannot be
predicted. Possibly the purpose is to
prevent the French from Withdrawing
troops from any point for the REIN
forcements Of Verdun.

fuses to Join in New Revo-
Iutionay Enterprise, Is Re-
port From EI Paso,

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 80. Efforts put
forth here to arouse interest in and
support for the alleged revolutionnN
movement proposed by Felix Diaz ~
Mexico resulted in complete failure
according to statements OF the Car.
rama officials here today.
Secret service men reported that
Manuel Calcro, former Mexican amt
bassador TO Washington, had left here
for San Antonio after a week Of fruit
less conferences with opponents oi
the carranza government.
Among those with whom he waf
reported 10 have conferred were
Ynez Salazar. who was recently ac-
quilted of q charge OF having con
spired To violate American neutrality
laws, and Mnrcelo Caraveo. The lat
ter was reported ten days ago to have
launched an expedition into Mexico,
moving in by way of Fort Hancock,
but subsequently denied that he was
involved in any revolutionary actv'-
ties.
Calero was here "incoguto" He
lived in hotel apartment procured
BY an American merchant accord
ing to the reports of the Mexican
secret service men one of whom was

Plan of Revolution.
The plan is Incorporated in a
statement, issued as manifesto. in
which Diuz asks the operation OF
all AGexicans IN this supreme task OF
restoring the Mexican nation The
revolution will start in OaNaca, the
native state of Diaz.
"Mu enterprise the statement
adds. is not one Of anarchy and
hatred, mt one Of union and order.
We arc not the rcvolutionsts that
Mexico has been used to see in the
past fcw years This il not new
faction but an old party formed of all
the elements Of the republic which
are law abiding and well-to-do. We
are liberals and shall fight for tho
restoration of our constitution ana
for tho downfall of the mobs that
have terrorized the country.
Going back to 1918, when the re-
volt which he inaugurated against
presiden. Madcro failed at Vera Cruz,
and SO was released from prison by
an order Of Madoro, Diaz condemns
tho Coup he etat OF Huerta, who
banished him, and de-
olarcd that the army with which ne
now proposes 60 take tho field in
Mexico, shall be known as The army
Of REORGANIZATION.
An persons who assisted IN the
coup d'etat which made Hucrta die
tntor Of Moxieo shall be punished. In
this connection Diaz recalls that
Huerta forced him to retire from
Mexico
Efforts also will be made, the
says. TO procure the down
fall and punishment Of all who have
assumed power since the overthrow
Of Huerta, and the manifesto further
declares that ali enactments, conees-
sions and dispositions made by Huer-
IN and by those who succeeded him In
power without having been elected
by the people, are To be held null and
void.

bRANDE|S STILL
UNDER PROBE BY
THE COMMITTEE
Former Law Partner Explains
Relation of Firm to Equita-
BILE Life Insurance Com
pany,

Washington, Feb. 29.--An explana-
ton OF the various charges against
Louis d. Brandeis now being inves-
tigated by senate committee consid-
ering his nomination for the supreme
court was begun today by Edward +.
McClennen, of Boston, member CT
Mr.. Brandeis' law firm.
Mr.. McClennen took the stand after
Albert f. Pillsbury. former attorney
general of Massachusetts,, and Edward
w. Hutchins, vice president of the
Boston Bar association, had testified
that Mr.. Brandeis had a reputation
for not being straight forward in his
dealings. Austen G.. Fox, counsel for
the opposition. put in evidence
Photographic copy of a check for $l0
from f. f. McSweeney, of Boston, TO
Mr. Brandeis, to support a charge
that Brandeis was paid by policy
holders of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society for representing them IN
their protective association.
Relation to the Equitable.
Mr.. McClennen said the Brandeis
firm was first employed by the Equit-
able in 1901, and had handled thirty
or forty cases for il since that time.
$50 YOU were counsel for the Eqult-
able at the time in 1905 when Mr..
Brandeis attacked it in a public
speech ?" inquired Senator Works.
I'VE were not general counsel at
any time; we only acted in specific
suits" responded Mr.. McClennen.
Did the company ever complain OF
the speeeh?"
mot that | ever heard about.
The witness stated that Brandeis
acted without pay as counsel for the
policy holders, who had their orgah-
ization headquarters in his office and
many OF the reforms urged by them
were adopted by the company.
"How about this McSweeney
check?n inquired Federal Attorney
Anderson representing the committee.
Ten Dollars for Advice.
ooh that had nothing to do with
the protective association, was the
resnonse. Mr. McSweenev consulted
MIR. Brandeis about taking the sur
render cash value of his poilcy ana
Mr.. Brandeis charged him ten uoi~
lars for his advice
AS to the charge that Mr.. Brahuels
was employed by the NtN i"F'' -,
others to wreck the New England
railroad, Mr.. McClennen said the OF
flee dairy showed that Mr.. Brandels
ceased to have any connection Win
the litigation against the New eng
land in June. 1898.
The witness began to tell about the
United shoe Machinery matters, but
had not concluded when the commit
toe had adjourned He said that al
though Mr.. Brandeis was director
of the Mckay Shoe Machinery COM
pany. which went into the United
Shoe Machinery company IN ls9s,
and signed circular to stockholders
advising the consolidation, Mr.. Bran
deis never expressed an opinion as 10

without lessenng of the activity Of
the contending forces to the north of
Nerdun, the French in the Woeyrc
region, east of Verdun, are using their
artillery to break up German prepar-
atons for further advances toward
the fortress. At various points the
fire of the French guns has prevented
the Germans from launching often
sives.
In the Vosges mountains there also
has been great artillery activity by
the French near Senones and Ban de
Sapt, while near Seppois the Germans
have been driven out of trenches they
had previously taken. In the Cham
pagne. German fortified works in the
region of Hill 1913 have been battered
by the French guns and the crater Of
a mine exploded by the Germans was
occupied by the French.
Germans Take Two Towns.
The Germans have added several
additional points to their terrain in
the fighting about Verdun, having
been enabled to construct trenches on
the slopes north of the cote u-Poivre
and to capture an armored work
northwest of Douaumont, and have
taken the towns of Manhuelles and
Champion, thirteen miles southeast
Cf Verdun
In this drive to the east of Verdun,
the advance of the Germans was ex-
tended over front of virtually twelve
mies--from Dieppe to Champion.
Berlin reports that thus far they
have taken prisoner 22S officers, 16,-
575 men, and large number of guns,
machine guns and much war material.
There has been considerable artil-
lery activity and fights in the air be-
tween battalions of German and Brit
sh aviators. along the British front
in France and Belgium.
Russians Successful.
In the Dvinsk region of Russia. the
Russians have driven the Germans
back and advanced their line, and
put down under heavy fire an attempt
at counter-attack.
In lengthy statement in reply to
an official communication issued from
Constantlnope, the Russian general
staff describes the powerful defenses
which guarded Erzerum and declares
that the force of the blow felt by
the Russians can be estimated by the
fact that some of the Turkish army
corps of three divisions each now
number only few thousand men, all
tho remainder either having perished
or been taken prisoner.
Details are lacking concerning the
disaster to the French auxiliary
cruiser Province, which has been lost
in the Mediterranean.
While the French ministry of
marine estimates the number OF sur
vivors at $40 no estimate is made Of
the casualties.

Washington, Dec. 10.-BOtn branches of Congress moved slowly during the legislation was being whipped into shape, but they will get down to work this week.
 In the Senate while the lnterstateS Commerce Committee is deliberatlng on plans for eXpediting the presidents s railroad legislative program, three measures are ready for consideration. They are the District of Columbia pro- hibition bill, immigration bill and cor rupt practices measures
 Corrupt practices legislat1on, which is the unfinished business, probaoly will be displaced temporarily by the immigration bill when the Senate meets tomorrow, because Democratic leaders are considering revising the corrupt practices measure. The im- migration bill with it's literacy test, probably will pass the Senate without much discussion, despite the probabil- ity that the president may veto 1t again.
