This eleventh hour move came as an
unexpected surprise as it meant prac-
tically a new resolution amounting to
an ultimatum to the central powers,
and subsequent developments showed it
caused change of several votes. Sen.
ator Vardaman favored the original
resolution, but voted to kill the amend
ment
Senator James again demanded a
vote. Senator Gallinger demanded an
other reading Of the original Gore reso-
luton with the amendment. This was
done.
Senator Clark interposed with point
of order that the amended resolution
could not be considered today.
At this point, Senator Ashurst cried
out:
"I call for a roll call" "
This began at 1l:40,
By the single record roll call the
senate swept aside not only the Gore
resolution, but also the amendments
and substitutes, and clinched the whole
question in favor of the administra
tion.
Following similar action, which the
house is expected to take quickly, the
way will be cleared for the state de
partment to resume its negotiations in
the Lusitania case.

Paris. Mar. 3.-Renewal of the Ger
man attack against the Verdun forts
convinced military experts here today
that the kaiser's offensive is the "real
thing"
Its cost is ghastly.
German dead lie strewn in the woods
and on the hills, so that, from q dis
tance, the fields seem covered with a
strange graygreen growth.
Not alone because of sucn sacrifices
as this vision gives, but also because
of the German preparations and she'll
ing, critics believe the drive against
Verdun is not feint. They are not
Iunmindful, though, of the possibility OF
sudden thrust in the Champagne or
nearer to Paris along the Aisne.
Witnesses of the struggle agree that
the Verdun battle constitutes the heaV-
lest fighting Of the entire war. Tho
Germans are shooting many times more
shells than the French did in the Sep
tember offensive in the Champagne and
the flower of the German troops is par
ticipating.
Despite his losses, the kaiser musb
strike with his maximum strength, it Is
believed, or his prestige and morale
will suffer If he succeeds in cap
turing Verdun, the war will only be pro-
longed; il IL fails, he must realize that
he is definitely beaten.
Paris calmly and confidently awaits
the outcome, believing that in the final
turn Of the battle wheel, success will
rest with the tri-color.

J. J. HILL A RUGGED AMERICAN.

One phase of his banking expert >ence was very much to his credit and honor. At the time of the Allied loan, when the Standardization were kicking up such a fuss over the participation of the banks in the ex- tension of credit to the be11igerents, MT. Hill did not hesitate to utilize a, substantial portion of his banks idle funds inZ taking over part of the Ioan Hardly another bank in the Twin Cities had the courage to pro- ceed thus after the interference of the German-Arnericans. But MT. Hill was not to be intimidated. He felt, and felt deeply, that the loan was a vital necessity and of the very great est benefit to the business interests of the United States, and especially to the farmers of the Northwest, whose wheat was flowing out in such great volume to, the Allies. His course in this instance was an example of that rugged Americanism for which he was always noted.-St. Paul Letter, New York Evening Post.
 .(Boston Transcript.)
 It was surely 8 mistake to have re- ferred to the late James J. Hill as of Scotch origin. MT. Hills personal characteristics led one, perhaps, to as- sociate him with that thrifty and ac- complaining race called Scotch-Irish. but his progenitors were Irish Catho- lies, and he was faithful to the tradi- tions of his fathers, though there was no element of hyphenization in his character Along with his hard-head- ed business genius-a quality which has very often been evidenced by Irishmen in this country-Mr. Hill had a warmth of imagination, play of fancy, that he must surely have de- rived from the Celtic side of his house. One trait of his character may well have been traceable to Irish peas- ant forbears-his extreme fondness for the farm, for the things that are raised on it, for all the animals that companion the farmer. He was a great man, whatever his racial origin, to have annexed to America-and his record left no doubt of the complete ness of his naturalization among us.
