FIERCE ARTILLERY DUEL
CONTINUES AT VERDUN
German Losses in Three Weeks Of
sensive at Fortress Estimated at
100000 by Paris.

London, March 15.-Artillery bonn
bardment in the Verdun district has
increased in intensity west of the
Meuse on La Mort Homme and in the
Bols Bourrus, according to the Paris
report on Monday.
French batteries took under their
IRE German forces assembling be-
tween FORCES and Bots des Corbeaux.
On the right bank of the Mouse and
In the Woevre there was less activity
on the part of artillery on both sides
and there was no infantry action dur
ing the day.
French aviators were active in the
entire Verdun region. A squadron of
six aeroplanes dropped 1870 shells on
the strategically important station at
Brieulles, north of Verdun, the report
adds.
In the course of number of aerial
engagements three German aeroplanes
were brought down, one within the
French lines and the other two inside
the German lines Several other Teu-
ton craft fell, the report adds, but
their location has not been deter
mined
Dispatches from Berlin contained
the first admission from German
sources that the Teutons no longer
hold Vaux fort
Major Moraht, military critic of the
Berlin Tageblatt, reports that Posen
reservists who occupied Fort Vaux
were driven out.
German losses in the first three
weeks of the Verdun offensive were
estimated at 100000 in the French Of
fetal statement.
An Amsterdam dispatch to the Cen
trail News says that on account of the
German offensive at Verdun she Dutch
Belgian frontier had been closed for
several weeks. That part of it south
of Maastricht has now been reopened,
and this fact is commented on in HOl-
land as probably indicating that the
Germans consider their offensive near
an end The dispatch adds that 81
more hospital trains with wounded
Germans from Verdun have passed
through Luxembourg

President of University of Wisconsin
Discusses Work From Every
Standpoint.

Neenah.-Declaring that a general
niscOncepioh was had in regard to
the management of the state univer-
sity. President Charles r. Van Hise
of that institution, in an address be-
fore the Neenah club here scored crit
les of the university and stated that
it was managed by as efficient an or
ganzation as existed in any other de-
partment of the state.
President Van Hise discussed the
work of the university from every
standpoint, especially the lead it had
taken in extension and research work,
the latter doing much in developing
and putting on a higher plane agricul-
tural pursuits throughout the state.
The charge that politics had been
played at the university was vigor-
ously denied. The condition of the
finances of the university were ex
planned, as were the various miscon-
ceptions that have given rise to the
opinion that the legislature had made
appropriations in excess of other
years.

years together he had slowly and de-
liberately poisoned her soul and mind.
Bit by bit he lifted the curtain that
concealed his life from her. He told
her that life was battle of the strong,
he had thoroughly initiated her into
his pernicious doctrines before he let
her know that his might work" was
burglary, and his travelling salesman
ship" journeys to other cities for pull
ing off coups.
Before the two years were ended
she was his foil and confederate. And
so we'll had he done his work that
none suspected in the sweet-voiced
girl as daring and skilled a crook as
her husband.
The Judge had pitied her when he
sentenced Lawson to seven years.
She had been advised to secure di-
vorce But she had chung to him;
she had paid him visits in the peni-
Tertiary for six or seven months.
Then her visits stopped She disap-
peared, and Lawson had been unable
to trace her.
Crook as he was, the man was hui
man enough to enjoy the pastors dis
courses Lawson was an educated
man. Together they had frankly dis
cussed the advantages and disadvan-
tages of crime. John Marinering was
shrewd enough to see that he could
not win a man of intellect by plati-
tudes. But all the while Lawson pre-
tended gradually to be convinced, &C.
cretly he was planning another stroke.
If only he had Elise. She had left
him six years and more. None of his
old pals could trace her. If she would
take him. he would live decent life
for her sake. He had not many re-
grets, but the corruption of her mind
was one of them.
And he told Mannering, hurting out
the truth. The clergyman realized
what he had not seen: The released
convict needs feminine influence, the
ministrations of some woman to re-
deem him from his tendencies. At
once he made up his mind.

NEUTRAL SHIP is SUNK
BY GERMAN SUBMARINE
norwegian Bark Reported Attacked
Without Warning-Amercans
on Board Were Saved.

washington, March 14.-The first
snip carrying Americans to be torpe-
doed without warning since the new
Austro-German submarine war on
armed merchantmen went into effect
was reported to the state department
on Saturday.
1t was the Norwegian bark Silius,
from New York to Hayre. with seven
American citizens aboard. 1t for tor
pedoed in the Havre road without
warning, according to official dis
patches from the American consul at
Havre.
That the Silius was unarmed was
taken for granted, since it was a neu-
trail ship of commerce. This fact in it
self, officials said, may make the case
more serious than any that has con-
fronted this government since the
war began.
All of the Americans aboard the
press dispatches three of the Silius'
crew were drowned
Immediately upon receipt of the dis
patch it was stated unofficially that
the nation whose submarine attacked
the Silius will be held to account by
this government
Taking the meager dispatch at its
face value, officials frankly declared
that the power the undersea boat rep
resented will be called to accountable
ity for the act
Secretary Lansing will not act Off
cially until he has complete details.
He must have affidavits of passengers
and crew showing beyond reasonable
doubt" that it was torpedo and not
mine or internal explosion that sent
the Silius to the bottom and endan-
gered the lives OF American citizens.
Such affidavits cannot reach here, OH
Gals said, much before week or ten
days.
