The text of the communlque fol-
lows:
In the Argonne. to the east of
Nauquois. we directed a new bonn
bardment upon the enemys works.
In the region Of the forest Of Cheppy
there was intermittent artillery &C
tivity.
Between Malancourt and the
left bank OF the Mouse the cannon
ade has continued with less violence.
In the region TO the north OF
Nerdun the enemy did not launch
any attack against our positions dur
ing the night. We have established
ourselves on a line of defense or
ganfzed behind Beaumont on the
heights extending from the east of
Champneuville to the south of Ornes.
The night was quiet on the rest
of the front"
Forts Under Fire.
With the French lines battered
by day and night by the masses of
the enemy hurled against them. the
Germans have now begun shat
tering bonn bardment of the outer
defensive works OF Verdun on the
north.
Fort de Belleville, Fort de Dou-
aumont and Fort de Marie are under
the fire of the big German guns
which are pounding away from
their positions on an eight mile
front between Consenvoye and
Ornes.
More than 400 guns are massed
behind the German front and the
cannonade of the French redoubts
and forts is described as the sublim-
est spectacle OF destruction and
thunder since the world began
French officers who saw the
French bOmbardment Of the German
positions in ArtOis last spring and
the French cannOnade of the Ger
man positions in Champagne last
autumn describe them as mere dis
plays of fireworks compared with
the tornado Of steel which the Ger
man batteries are now launching
So terrific is the fire of the big
German guns and the reply of the
French artillery that the throbbing
thunder is plainly audible at Bar
le-Duc, nearly 80 miles away from
the scene Of the battle
See Big Offensive.
The foremost military critics In
Paris express the belief that the
battle Of Verdun Is the forerunneT
Of a German offensive all along the
west front in a supreme effort 10

effect a decisive victory
But the nation is more concern
ed with the outcome of the present
struggle around Verdun rather than
possibilities of the future
1t is estimated by Matin that the
German army of the crown prince
has been reinforced to the strength
OF $4,000 men. who are being
hurled against the French lines
with systematic and utter disregard
for human life.
The curtain OF fire maintained by
the French batteries has annihilated
whole regiments and the ridges OF

the rolling hills along the Meuse

TOILETTE HOLDS
PASSAGE OF NAVAL
BILL IN SENATE
81 AssocIATEp PREss

Washington, July Ex-senator La
toilette again delayed passage of the
naval bill today. He continued his
attack on the measure as begun yes
terday until few minutes of adjourn
ment. His amendment was to pro-
hibit the use of the navy to collect
debts and enforce claims of Ameri-
cans, and Lafollette charged that the
financial interests known as Morgan
and Standard Oil groups were behind
the movement for big army and navy.
He asserted the present navy program
meant the beginning of a policy 10
get big navy as great or greater
than Great Britain's whiting ten
years.
1t was believed the bill viii be pass
ed tomorrow, and the army appropria-
ton bill VIII be taken up Immediately.

SEAMEN' s ACT
LOCALLY
Application At Port of Pen
sacola Keeps Sailors
From Being Detained.

By order of Acting Secretary of
State Frank L. Polk, Jerry J. Sulli-
van, Jr., United States commissioner
here, was notified of the abrogation
of sections of certain treaties between
the United States and many other
nations relative to the seaman's act.
The act states that all treaties which
provide for the arrest and imprison-
ment of officers and seamen charged
with desertion from merchant vessels
in the United States should be abro-
gated, which was ordered done, and
notices were sent to the following
with which treaties exist, advising
them of the action of congress: Bel
GUM, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia 1.-TWO
treaties), Congo, Denmark, France
1.-TWO treaties), Great Britain, Greece,
Italy 1.-TWO treaties), The Netherlands
1.-TWO treaties), Rumania, Spain, Swe-
den and Norway, and Sweden and
Tonga.
The notification from the acting sec
rotary of state said that Bolivia, Chi
ne, Denmark, England, France,
Greece, Italy and The Netherlands
had responsed to the notice of abro-
cation Of treaties or sections Of treat
les in conflict with the act Of con-
gress.
The act Of congress went into eff
feet on July 1, and win have a de-
cided action on conditions here. I'm
der the provisions of the act, officers
or members of the crew of merchant
vessels of the nations acceding to the
abrogation of treaties cannot be ar
rested and returned for desertion Of
the vessels while in ports of the =
ted States. Many such cases have
been noticed in Pensacola in the past,
and a great number of deserted
sailors have been returned to their
vessels in port here.
When the question of the abroga-
ton of sections or the whole of a
treaty was brought up in congress by
the act, much discussion took place
on the matter of giving offense to
the nation with which the treaty was
made. But as the right is a mutual
one and expressly provided for, no
difficulty was expected, and no nation
that has already acceded to the slip
ulation, has raised the point.

MILITARY SCHOOL
MAY COME HERE

The Kentucky Military Institute
may select Pensacola as the spring
end summer camp E y its students,
provided some encouragement is given
by the city, according to announce
ment made by people who are in a
position to know.
The school has occupied a site on
the east coast for some years, but
it is understood that the members of
the faculty have decided that a
change should be made, giving the
students the advantage of changing
places, and at the same time in bring
ing them to the aeronautical school.
This point is understood to be the
chief argument for the change, as
being the only naval school in the
country, and in direct line with the
work of the school, it is stated that
it would afford an excellent study for
the students.
The school is a large military
academy, composed of about 800
young men, situated at Lexington.
KY, and with other features of the
preparatory school, includes COM
plete military training. It has beer
the custom of the school to come to
Florida for the summer training fol
many years.

REPORT OF TEN
DEATHS IN FLOOD
FOUND BE UNTRUE

Spartanburg, S. c., July 20.-Re-
ports reaching Asheville today that
ten persons had been drowned by
floods at Alta Pass, N. c., are said
to be a mistake here tonight by Theo
Dehon, general southern agent of the
c., C. e., o. railroad. Dehon said the
railroad wires were working into Alta
Pass this afternoon, and residents
said none were killed. Dehon also
said that the flood damage at Unaka
Springs, Tenn, amounted to but the
washing away of a bridge. AS a re-
suit of these reports, the death list
for the flooded district dropped back
to i73 as reported early today.
Conditions in most sections are
rapidly getting normal. Some of the
isolated districts remain to be heard
from, but it is not expected the deaths
and property damage already report.
I'd will be materially increased.

Secret Adoption of Platform
Attempted. and Causes
Disturbance.
SULZER APPEARS
AT CONVENTION
Says Not Seeking Nomina-
ton, But to Speak For
Good Of Cause"
SULZER APPEARS
AT CONVENTION
BY ASSOCIATES PRESS.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 20.-Eforts
to adopt the resolutions committees
draft of a platform without first
printing and distributing copies to
delegates, precipitated the first lively
outbreak of contention among dele
gates at the prohibition national con-
vention today.
The advocates Of immediate adop-
ton of the proposed platform reced-
ed from their position under the pres
sure of opposition from the floor and
the convention recessed
For ten minutes the convention was
in an uproar. The majority evidently
desired to have deliberate discussion
of the planks in the proposed plat
form before taking up the question
of adoption.
. The much heralded appearance of
William Sulzer before the convention
as an aspirant for the prohibition
presidential nomination did not ma
terialize. Mr.. Sulzer arrived here
and went to hotel, where he con-
suited with friends. He said he did
not come to ST. Paul to seek the nom
ination, but because a group of his
friends in the convention begged him
to come and speak "for the good Of
the cause"
The proposed platform leads of
with strong declarations for nation
wide prohibition and woman suffrage.
These plauks5 are followed By anti
preparations and peace pIanks. Re-
ciprocal trade treaties with foreign
nations and federal trade commits
sion of specialists were recommended,
Taking up the Mexican situation,
the platform declared the democratic
party has blundered, ans the repub-
.lican party evaded responsibility"
Mexico needs not a conqueror, but
good Samaritan" the platform de-
clared.
The plank on free institutions de-
clared for absolute separation OF
church and state, with an absolute
guarantee of full religious and civil
liberty"
Government-owned and operated
terminal elevators and warehouses
were urged, together with the abol.
ishment of all boards of trade and
chambers of commerce dealing in op-
tions and futures.

DEUTSCHLAND READY
TO LEAVE ANY TIME

Baltimore, Nd, July 20.-Prepared
to leave port at any moment, Captain
Paul Koenig, commander of the Ger
man merchant submarine Deutsch-
land, put on his uniform today for the
first time since he landed here eleven
days ago, and for several hours to-
day studied the charts of the Pataps-
co Slver and Chesapeake Bay with
Captain Frederick Hinsch, commander
of the North German Lloyd liner
Neckar. When Captain Koenig went
back aboard the under-sea liner he
took with him a duplicate manifest
of the ships cargo. Another copy was
ready to be taken to the custom house.
Captain Koenig said he would not
leave his ship again, and indicated
an early departure, but said that
nothing that would give an idea just
when the submersible would leave. 1t
was understood the Deutschland's en-
gines and submerging machinery had
been giveE a final test, and were
found to be in ierfect condition.
