EVADING PAYMENT
 OF INVESTMENT TAX
State Treasurer Chamberlain Gives Warning to Waterbury DcIin-
 quents in Letter to Newspapers.

Hratford, Feb. 26.-Deputy State Treasurer B. Frank Marsh said today he was satisfied there was a large number of persons in Waterbury liable for the investment tax who had not paid it to the state. The pay ment of this tax in Waterbury is next Tuesday Feb. 29. In the name of Treasurer Chamberlain, MT. Marsh has written a letter to the newspapers in Waterbury calling attention to the payment of the tax and the penalty for neglect. The local assessment of taxes in Waterbury is made as of March 1 and if the holders of the se- curities on which the state tax is pay able are not in the hands of the treasurer on the previous day, at the latest the treasurer will not be able to report them to the Waterbury of ficials and they will be subject to local taxation.
 MT Marsh said Waterbury was not the only city in the state in which the owners of investm ents had failed to return the amount of their securi- ties. It is believed New Haven and Bridgeport are with Waterbury in the neglect of this requirement.. In New Haven the tax is payable June 1 and in Bridgeport September 30.

M'KIRDY OR BULL FOR
 REPUBLICAN LEADER
Choice Lies Between These Two As Result of
 Meeting.

1 The selection of chairman of the republican town committee simmered down to two candidates at a meeting held quietly last Wednesday evening, and the present choice for the place lies between William N. McKirdy and George w. Bull. The committee will meet again next week and a final de- cision on the selection is expected. Both of the above mentioned can- didates stand, high in the ranks of the O. F. in this city. Each has a strong following in his ward and it is certain that considerable stress will be brought on the other members of the committee by friends of each man.
 From present indication McKirdy has the inside track for the place, but Bulls friends are working night and day in his interests. Some of the leaders of the republican party show a tendency to favor McKirdy because of his long connection with the party as a member of the committee. He has served for twelve years worker in the interests of G. O. P. and has gained considerable knOWl- edge of the inside methods of con- ducting campaigns which would prove invaluable, especially in face of the coming spring and national elections. Mir. McKirdy is employed in a re- sponsible position at the Corbin Cab- inet Lock company. He resides on Stanley street and is an active mem Der of the Fourth Ward Republican club.
 Four years ago MT. Bull was elect ed member of the town committee and has worked hard in the interests of the party He has served as chairman of the first ward committee and in this capacity he rendered ef- ficient service.

FOES DRIVE SERIOUS,
 BUT NOT DIsQUIETING
Paris Not Alarmed When Troops Fall Back As
 PrecautiOn.

Paris, Feb. 26, 5:45 a. m-''Serious, but not disquieting,' is the common phrase which is used today in official and parliamentary circles regardiI.g the progress of the Germans in their attack against Verdun. Unaffected by the snoWstorm, the Germans ham mered away all day Friday at the French line which, although unbroken at the end of the sixth day of bat tie, was, however, again rectified as measure of prudence, the left wing being drawn into Champneuville and the right being brought back a little south of Ornes. The new front barely three miles in length, extends along the heights, offering every advantage for defense and forming one of the most formidable obstacles before tie cntrenched camp of Verdun.
 It is in this narrow space that the crown prince is hurling his masses. Military observers here express the belief that the counter offensive will be launched from this line at a pre- else and decisive moment and that it will drive back across the ground already covered with the dead bodies of their comrades of the battalions which are being hurled forward in the most bloody assault which this war has yet seen.
 ''The work up there is hot, indeed,'' said an officer who has just arrived in Paris from the Verdun battlefield ''They are gnawing at our lines a Et~ tie faster, but with no positive ad- vantage for themselves. Previous at tacks made by the Germans in that sector are nothing to what they are now delivering. I cannot, of course, give details, but I can say that we are holding well against their formidable attacks. The artillery exchanges are intense. Our batteries, admirably handled, have changed ground in mas terly style and the losses to the enemy are really fabulous. Ours are slight, a feeble percentage of theirs The Germans are, so to speak, at the limits of the Argonne and the Mouse heights, the topography of which constitutes what I might compare to a series Of cofferdams. The Germans have been preparing for the stroke for a long time. It was in the region of Com flans-Etain that they gathered the bulk of the material for the assault, as they had erected large factories at these points,

AUSTRIA EVASVE IN
 ANSWER ON PETROLITE
Lansing Says It Is Not Either Acceptable or Unac-
 ceptable.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Austria, sup plementing her request for more in- formation concerning the American protest against the submarine attack CT Petrolite in the Mediter ranean has informed the United States that her version of the affair is that the submarine commander thought the Petrolite was an enemy ship disguised under the American flag; that he fired upon her as the ship changed her course, and he be- lieved she was about to ram him, and that the Petrolites captain voluntar- fly furnished provisions to the sub mersib1e.
 Secretary Lansing said today that Austrias communication was not a reply to the American protest and could not be considered either Accept able or unacceptable. The American version of the affair is that the subma- rine fired upon the tanker, injuring one man in the CT zine room, and that when the Petrolite's commander re- fused to furnish provisio ons the Aus trian comm ander took an American of the Petrolit's crew on his submarine and held him as hostage until ne got the supplies.
 All the facts available to the state department have been sent to Vienna and a further reply is being awaited.

Kermanshah is 2S0 miles southwest of Teheran and has a population of about 30,000. The routes from Bag dad, Shuster. Ispaham by way of Ha- madam, and Suleimaniyah meet there and make the city an important cen- ter of traffic.
 The Russian operations in Persia, which have eliminated in the capture of Kermansah, have had the local pur- pose of putting an end to the activi- ties of hostile mountain forces and or ganized bands of kurds, and it is be- lieved that they have the broader scope of preparing the way for a junction of the Russians with the British expeditionary forces in Me- sopotamia. This movement of the Russians from Hamadan southwest ward to Kermanshah brings them now to within 150 miles of Kut-El-Amara, on the Tigris, where Gen. Town shend's British force is besieged by the Turks.

Berlin, Feb. 25, via London, Feb. 26, 12:35 D. m.-Reports from Aus trian press headquarters predicted the the early fall of the Albanian city of Durazzo as a result of the defeat on Wednesday of the Italians and the Albanian forces under Essad Pasha. the provisional president. A strong line of outer defenses for the city had been constructed, and the indications were that spirited resistance would be offered.
 The Austrians and Germans at tackled at daybreak. The defenders were soon ejected from their positions at BaZar SJak. Shortly afterward the Italians on the southern bank of the lower Arzen were forced to aban- don their positions. The Austrians crossed the river and proceeded south ward.
 At noon a decisive action east of Bazar Sjak drove the Italians from strong positions. The same fate was suffered by the defenders of Sasso Blanco, six miles east of Durazzo.
 By evening the entire outer girdle of defenses was taken. The attack CTS, advancing to the inner line posi- tons, established the fact that the Italians were embarking their troops hurriedly.
