Days of misery, nights of unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles,

RESOLUTION PASSES
FOR ARMY INCREASE
VIII Make Army 100000
Move Made TO Recall Sol
diers from Philippines

Washington, Mar. 15.-The Hay
Chamberlain resolution increasing the
size of the regular army to its full
strength Of 100000 men was adopted
today by the senate. 1t provides for
an immediate increase.
Hoke Smith was the only senator to
oppose the resolution during the debate
He proposed an amendment making the
enlistment term two years instead of
the usual four Smith said ne was
against long enlistments, and that, in
the present case, he felt sure the re-
cruits could be more easily obtained if
Inc term were shortened.
The senate enjoyed unlimited debate
of the measure until Senator Gallinger
called for a vote. Then it was passed
unanimously.
Senator Sherman introduced L resolu-
tion suggesting that the American
forces be withdrawn from tae Philip
pines. He said; "Twelve thousand
regulars could be sent to Mexico. They
would be ideal soldiers in that tropical
climate Furthermore, they have been
well trained in guerilla warfare"
He said he would leave 800 native
scouts in the islands as a Philippine
garrison.

German Grown Prince Hopes
to Break French Lines
North Of Verdun
IF SUCCESSFUL THIS
WOULD Be SEVERE BLOW
French However Are COn6d-
ent TeutOns Will Be Fought
to a StandStilI
BY Charles P. Stewart.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
London, Mar. l5.-Between the shell
shattered town of BethincOurt and the
slopes of Dead Man s hill, the Germans
have driven a new wedge deep into the
French defenses, Berlin messages an
nounced today.
Teutons surround BethincOurt on
three sides, and a slight further ad-
vance, it is declared, would force the
French to evacuate the city. French
on Dead Man s hill are
again imperiled by this resumption Of
infantry attacks on Verdun.
Latest Paris cOmmuniques contra
dicted these German claims They admit
there were infantry attacks in the
specified region following an almost un-
precedented bombardment, but assert
all charges were replsed except at two
isolated points between Bethincourt and
Dead Mans hill.
1t is indicated rnat the assaults
there mark the beginning of a most
severe battle which may prove to be
the last phase of the Verdun fight. l.
is believed that the German crown
prince hopes by a brilliant stroke to
break French lines northwest of the
citadel If such smash were success
full, the French army On the Meuse east
bank would be trapped and it would
mean the capture of great quantities of
munitions, supplies and artillery am
munition, as well as the probable sur.
render Of many soldiers.
Paris dispatches said military ex.
perts there were awake to the danger of
new German successes. The critics said: {:
"Were the Germans to gain Verdun
via Douaumont aud Vaux it would b.
an empty victory. They would lose
100000 more men for an empty husk.
Success via Goose Hill and Bethin-
court might be more substantial. The
French are holding the Lorraine front
on the east side of the river. Their
guns and material run the risk of cap
ture as the main brigades spanning the
Meuse might be commanded by the foe
General Petain's precautions guard
against surprise. The Germans are ex-
pected to hurl solid masses against
Dead Mans and Goose Hills. a
French are convinced the Teuton vii
be fought to a standstill."

GERTRUDE LAMSON

according to her testimony under cross
examination in Slaughter's trial to-

The girl said she inserted the phrase

because she had heard Slaughter say
it frequently in the pulpit.
Gertrude today blamed the entire in.
spiration for the letter of denial on
her mothers alleged coaching. She
reiterated repeatedly that she was
"telling the truth" when she accused
Slaughter.
AS the girl manifested signs of labor
ing under great strain, Judge Gregory
occasionally ordered brief recesses to
let her regain her composure.
Defense attorneys sprang a sensation
when they suddenly charged that Char
lotte Regan, an officer of the deten-
tiOn home, who has custody of Ger
trude, was signaling to her from the
audience. Judge Gregory overruled
the objections.

attorney for permission to adopt the

casion Defense lawyers asserted he
also had an alib for November IA,

El PasO, Texas, Mar. 15.-Military
censorship has been thrown so closely
around Columbus and the border coun-
try today that it is impossible to aseer-
tain troop movements, although many
firmly believed the American expedi-
tion had started.
Control Of the telegraph and tele-
phone was taken over by squad of SOL
diers acting under orders from Briga-
der General John ]. Pershing. A long
distance telephone call to Columbus
merely brought a reply from "eentrap'
that she was under military censorship
as well as everybody else there.
A censored Columbus dispatch from a
United Press staff correspondent told
Of preparations to establish a base of
operations for the pursuit. Railroad
switches are being built by army engin-
GERS. Troop movements were not mem
toned in the message.
The censor permitted mention, how
ever, Of the arrival VI tine aero squad
ron from San Antonio with its consort
of motor lorries. The United Press
correspondent message was timed
$3.50 a. m. today, but it does not neces-
sarily contradict rumors that start
has been made, because newspaper men
were not expected to be permitted to
enter Mexico with the vanguard.
Officers Of Fort Bliss refused to dis
cuss rumors that the border had al
ready been crossed.
