German Losses Small lis Claim.


Berlin, March /, by wireless to Say
Ville-German correspondents at the
Vesdnn front state that on Feb. 90
the German troops gained an amount
OF ground only ten square kilome-
tres less than the total captured by
the French in their whole offensive
movement in the Champagne last
fall.
The German attack was carefully
prepared for by heavy Smelling of the
French defense works in the forests,
where barbed wire had been tied
from tree to tree. The wire, inter
mingled with branches of the trees
formed yielding barrier particular
~ we'll designed to resist artillery
fire.
When the German troops charged
they not only swept through tn asc
positions but advanced beyond more
distant defense works before the
French were able to rally their scat
tered troops. The correspondents re-
peat the earlier reports that the
German losses were surprisingly
small while the French, on account
of the well-timed collaboration Of
suffered very heavy casualties. 1t is
said that hundreds of French dead,
crowded closely together, were found
in some small sections. The French
line. was broken on both sides of
the roads leading northward from
Yerdun.

greSS" was Mr.. Kitchin's answer to
q question about prospects of q vote.
He is one of those who have favored
the resolutions. One plan discussed
was for the house foreign affairs
committee to report adversely one Of
the pending resolutions and at the
same time have the rules committee
bring in a rule limiting debate. BY
that plan a vote could be reached in
The house tomorrow or Friday and
the question would be taken up in
the9 senate Immediately afterward.
The President told the leaders the
foreign situation was no more seri-
Gus today than it has been for several
weeks, but he believed action should
be taken quickly to show the world
that the American government was
not divided
Leader Kitchin said he did not
think the McLenmore resolution
would be the one offered by the for
eign affairs committee, and Chairman
Flood said it was his opinion that
none of the resolutions now in his
committee would be chosen for the
test.
Clark Not Certain of Vote.
1t was understood that some of the
i leaders who conferred at the White
House today still differed with the
Presidents position. Speaker Clark,
who predicted last week that a warn
ing resolutions would pass two to one
at that time, said he did not know the
sentiment of the house now and re-
fused to say how he himself would
vote.
So The house foreign affairs committee
got ready for a meeting at 1 o'clock
at (which it was the plan to canvass
the situation generally and refer the
drafting of the resolution to a SUBJ
I committee. Despite the presidents
expressed desire that the vote come on
a straight question of passage of a
/ warning resolution, the sentiment in
the foreign affairs committee and
i among administration leaders of both
sides of the capitol was not clearly de-
fined and some of them thought the
vote should come on an affirmative
i resolution of confidence. There APP
peared to be no agreement of opinion
among the republicans but it was in
Dictated that most of them would vote
against the warning resolution.
