GREATEST BATTLE OF THE WAR
NOW ON BEFORE FRENCH
LINES.

London, February 23.-Led by the
Crown Prince, 100000 Germans are
attacking the French on a front OF
twenty-five miles in colossal smash
for the great fortress Of Verdun.
They have broken through the
French lines on front OF ten miles to
a depth of two miles and are within
eight miles Of the fortress. The VII
lage OF NaumOunt Is in German hands.
French and English view it as the
last tremendous effort OF the Germans,
which, ii II fails, will condemn them
to a shackled defensive ON every 'front.'
The losses on both sides are count
ed in the tens of thousands, according
TO all accounts. The attacks are be-
ing made by picked troops, veterans OF
Russia and the Balkans, men who took
part In the first great smash Mt Paris
which carried to the Marine.

CRISIS FACED
Congress and President At Logger
heads Over Foreign Policy aud
Germany Reaches Limit Of
ConcessiOns-War May
Follow Unless Con-
gress Inter-
yeneS

Washington, February 23.-Presi'
dent Wilson and Congress, facing n
genuine crisis with Germany, are ut
Ioggerheads tonight on the question OF
policy. The situation is unprece.
dented. Never before In the history OF
the United states has there been an
occasion when the executive head OF
the nation and Congress have been so
widely apart on matter OF such I'M
mediate gravity. As climax to day
OF chaos the German reply to the lat
est demands of the United States
reached Washington tonight. II is
understood to be very unsatisfactory
The President has told the leaders OF
Congress that he Is determined to
force an "immediate shown down
with the TeutOnic allies aud has warn.
ed them that he will not tolerate any
interference with his handling Of in.
ternatiOnaI situation. Congress Is
equally determined that Americans
shall he warned of armed merchant
men, totally in defiance OF the Presi-
dents express wishes. Administrative
advisers and the leaders In Congress
tonight are In state OF uncertainty
and apprehension that operates OPP
pOsite TO the possibility OF concerted
action. No one Of them is willing to
predict what tomorrow will bring
forth.
4 few outstanding points are;
Senator Stone, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations and the
spokesman in the Senate for the adj
ministration, told his colleagues that
1.-THE President would take as personal
affront any legislation regarding the
submarine issue.
Representative Flood, chairman OF
the House foreign committee, will tell
the President tomorrow morning that
a powerful group in Congress, prob
ably majority of both Houses, is OPP
posed to his plan of forcing Germany
to admit the right of neutrals to traye
on armed ships.
Majority leader Kitchin declared
that if the President proposed tC
force Germany into war, he could moi
count on the support of Congress.
At the White House it was an
nounced that Senator Stone, at the re
quest of the President, will not MAKE
his intended speech in reply to Elih'
Roots attack on the administration.
Germany's attitude, it is understood
is that its earlier reply to this gov
ernments note acceded 10 every de
, mand made by the United States, In
Guiding the substitution of the wor'
recognizes" for assumes" liability
This reply, it is said, is Germany
last word so far as the Lusitania is
e sue is concerned.
