THAT PHONE DEAL

The Daily News comes out strong
today for the passage of the ordi-
nance giving the city's consent to
the sale of the Automatic to the
phone trust-and says Walter Fish
er's opinion to the same effect ought
to carry great weight
This is the same Walter Fisher
who handed Chicago a sour lemon
in the traction unifcatiOn ordinance
of 1901 deal that makes it practi-
cally impossible for the people to get
the municipal ownership for which
they have voted four times.
It is not surprising at all that both
Victor F. Lawson and Walter Fisher
are playing the game for Ogden Ar
mour and the telephone trust.
It's another chance for Special
Privilege to drive a nail in the coffin
of municipal ownership and make
telephone users foot the bill

DRAWING NEARER VERpuN.

Berlin.-Slowly but steadily, almost
yard by yard, the Crown Prince is
drawing the circle tighter around Ver-
dun. With the capture Of the exten'
sive French works and positions in the
woods northeast OF Avocourt, about
twelve miles west OF Verdun, with
$500 prisoners and numerous guns
and machine guns, the Germans have
made a dangerous drive in the direc-
ton of one of the two remaining rail
roads from Verdun TO Paris.
The Crown Princes forces on the
west side of the Meuse are now within
gun range of the direct Verdun-Paris
railway, which lies directly five miles
south of Avocourt. The greater part
of the intervening ground is covered
with dense forest and broken, hilly
ground.

War ONCE but with Gen. Joffre, ac-
cording TO advices from Swiss sources.
Paris newspapers are said TO have
been warned by the authorities
against critlcising Joffre.
The French War Office reported a

pealed TO the country for aid in thwart-

In formal statement issued at the

that a campaign OF falsehood Is being
carried on through the newspapers OF
the country "for the purpose OF bring
ing about Intervention in the interest
OF certain American owners Of Mexi-
can property"
This purpose the President pledges
himself 10 defeat, but he warns the
people OF the country that II the cam
paign Is permitted 10 continue very
serious conditions may be created, un-
necessary bloodshed may result and
the relations between the two repub'
lies may be very much embarrassed"
President Wilson expresses the hope
that the people OF the United States
will be on their guard against credit
ing any story coming from the border
and he entreats the editors OF news
papers that they make II a matter OF
patriotism and conscience to test the
source and authenticity OF every re-
port they receive from that quarter"

lin as the greatest gain since the
first DAYS OF the battle OF Verdun, the

in two and one-half miles OF the YER
dun-Paris railway.
This is the main artery for troops
and ammunition supplying the for
tress. and is already reported TO be

The Germans officially claim to have
stormed the entire strongly fortihed
French positions in and near the FOR
est of Avocourt, southeast OF Malan-
court. capturing thirty.two officers and
$500 men and repulsing counter-at-
tacks with great losses TO the french.
This new drive Of the Germans is
being made slightly more than mile
10 the west Of Dead Man Hill (Le
Mort Homme), where, for the last
week. both armies have. been locked
in titanic struggle.
On three vital points OF the long
battle line in the east the Russians
have launched violent onenslVes
against the Germans and Austrians.
According to official admissions from
Berlin and Vienna the new efforts OF
the Cars troops, whose chief aim Is
10 divert Teuton re-enforcements from
the western front and force dis
continuance OF the attacks on Yer
dun. have been crowned by two i'm
portant successes.

Outlaw Fled. Abandoning 100 Of His

Eel Paso, Tex-According TO Gen
eral Gavira and Consul Garcia, Car
rama troops met and defeated Villa
and a large force at Santa Gertrudis.
Seven Villistas are reported to have
been killed and a number OF others
wounded. II is claimed that Villa
retreated in the direction OF Ell Oso
More than 100 of his horses were
captured.
Santa Gertrudis is a ranch f1vs miles
southeast of Namiqulpa.
II is considered certain that the
first step will be the calling or avail
able troops, with the exception OF
the coast artillery. to the border.
AS the remaining troops number
hardly more than 5000. il is also con-
sidered likely that the President Will
also issue a call for part o the
militia. The state troops will be used
for patrol duty on the border to free
the regulars for the more serious task
OF coping with the new Mexican up
rising.
Word also reached the capital that
Colonel Cano another Carranza COM
mander. reported fighting Villa near
Namiquipa, had Joined the bandit
leader after a parley. II Is believed
that other commanders who have long
been lukewarm may :, ,ize the oppor-
tunity OF deserving the Constitution
