London Feb 24-The German crown pri ggan-

drive toward Paris according to Amsterdam advces

With thousands of guns blasting the defenses the plan
is to wreck the Verdun fortress and then begin smash
towards the French capital 1872 miles away. Berlin was
reported to believe that should Verdun fall it would
mark the beginning of the end of the
Fully half million engaged in the struggle

The Amsterdam dispatches told of streams of wound

days the fruits of the campaign The Teuton losses
as reported by Amsterdam during the few days of the
offensive have been the largest in five months.

Importance of the conflict said that the tremendous Ger

FIRED NATIONAL SALUTE
ASFLAGS WERE CHANGED
Declaration Of War by Ger
many and Austria Expected
Immediately

Lisbon, Feb. 24.-Austria and Ger
many are expected to declare war upon
Portugal Immediately as a result of the
Portuguese navy's seizure of So Aus
trfian and German steamers, some of
them large, lying in the Tagus river.
Foreign Minister Costa announced to-
day that the vessels were confiscated
because Portugal needed transports and
feared the Teuton ships would escape to
the Atlantic and possibly raid vessels
of the entente allies. In this connection
he cited the fact that the German
steamer Oekenfels had escaped from
Funchal, MADEIRA island.
Though Germany and Portugal have
not been at war; Portugal has openly
sided with the allies and has aided the
English against Germans in German
Africa.
The confiscation is expected to force
break between Portugal and the cen
trail powers, but officials are conf
dent that Spain, friendly to the Teuton
empires, will continue neutral at least
for the present.
The ships were seized by Captain Re-
go yesterday afternoon. He stripped
the Teuton colors from them, ran up
the Portuguese flag and then fired a
national salute. "a

PIRATE CAR BANDITS

One Who Refused to Stop Is

Bullets and BuckShOt

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 24,-Having a
theory that the "private car" bandits
who are terrorizing automobilists may
have a lurking place in the Calabassas
country, up the San Fernando valley,
Sheriff Cline today considered sending
an armed expedition there to try and
route them out.
The "pirate car" appeared again
last night. This time it operated on
Venice boulevard, just outside the city
limits Motorists reported four masked
men jumped into the middle of the high
way holding rifles and sawed off shot
guns ready, ordering their intended vic
tim to halt.

orator and rushed past the four thugs in

So miles an hour the bandits appeared

WESTBURN
SCUTTLED BY GERMANS
Was Held As Prize But Fear.
ing to Lose Her Dashed to
Sea and Sunk Her

London, Feb. 2b.-Taking no chance
of having their prize, the British
steamer Westburn, snatche1 from them
the German crew in charge of her
dashed out to sea today from Santa
Cruz in the Canaries, scuttled her and
then escaped in boats, according to
Santa Cruz dispatches.
Before the vessel was sunk the pris.
oners aboard her we're Put safely
ashore.
The dispatches said thlt the Ger.
man commander sruttled her because
the Spanish authorities had hinted they
would probably return the vessel to its
British owners if it interned. Fearing
that warships off the Canaries would
capture the boat if she tried to escape
the commander took the ship to O
point within the three mile limit and
sank her. He then returned to Santa
Cruz and will probably intern.
Spain would have been forced to re-
turn the ship to the owners in ease OF
internment, inasmueh as she has nc
treaty with Germany which would per
init lnternment.
The Westburn, a $500 ton vessel, pui
,Jjnto Santa Cruz for repairs, with O
small prize crew and more than 20C
prisoners from British ships.
The impression here is that the West
burn was captured by the same Ter
man raider which recently captured the
Appam and sent her into Newport
News, Va. Included in the prisoners
were members Of the Clan MeTavisl
crew, said to have been captured by
the German raider, supposedly III,
Moewe, at about the time of the Ap
pam capture. Indications are that tn,
same raider captured other vessel
whose crews were aboard the West
burn.

Gore is Ruled Out.

Gore appealed to VicePresident Mar
shall, who ruled that his bin was not
admissible after Brandage had object
ed. A resolution accompanying the bill
asked that Americans abstain from the
right of travelling on armed ships, while
the bill itself proposed that passports
for such travel be withheld
Several senators are opposed 10 the
president 3 course, but they favor in
forming him of their sentiments priv
ately, rather than to have an outbreak
on the floor.
Senator LaFolette, en- route here
from Wisconsin, will aid in dissuad
ing the president from maintaining his
present position, but failing in this, he
will not support that position.
Representative Foster introduced a
substitution for the McLemore resolu-
tiOn which would authorize" instead
of "request" the president to issue
warning. The McLemore resolution pro-
posed that anyone disobeying the warn
ing should sacrifice the right to Amer

President Wilson was said to have
telephoned Flood last night during n
conference Of the committee members
after hearing Of the McLemore plans.
Despite the fact that a rupture had
been prevented at least temporarily, ad-

London, Feb 24.-Under the eyes Of
tne kaiser, the German crown prince has
fOced his way to within gun range OF
the fortress city of Verdun.
Berlin claimed today the TeutOns had
captured towns as far as SamOgneux,
only six miles from the northern out
skirts of the fortress; Paris admitted
SamOgneux had been stOrmed, though
it claimed the Teuton attack there had
been repulsed. Berlin told of enorm
GUS gains; Paris admitted some.
Losses on both sides have probably
mounted to the great total of $4,000
men in the few days since the prince
began his onslaught And still the com
bat RACES along the 2j mile front OF
Verdun, with no signs of weakening.
The German official statement claim
ell the Germans had cleared the way
before them in capturing Brabant-Sur'
Meus, HaumOnt, Samogneux, Jood and
herbe, together with the forested dis
trict north and northwest of Beaumont
Losses Are Appalling.
Paris admitted the loss of Brabant
Sur.Meuse and aptt of tne Caures wood
four miles eastward, after announcing
yesterday that the French had re-Oceu
pied the latter territory. The officiOl
cOmmunique told of appalling losses OF
both sides. In an attack on Samog
neux, Paris said, the Germans were
thrown back, while in new onslaught

against Beaumont, seven miles north
east Of Verdun, the Teutons lost many
men.
Both Berlin and Paris indicated that
the struggle on tne % mile front had
continued without cessation during the
night.
Coneeding that the German AZ cent?
meter guns might reduce Verdun to
ruins, critics declared that the Germans
must pierce a remarkable system of de-
fensive field positions before they can
actually beOin drive toward Paris.
Talk of such a drive is current. The
prince s efforts are said to be only the
preliminaries to a desperate movement
on the French capital.
But in his onward march, the crown
prince has yet to cope with row after
row of strongly fortified field positions
protecting Verdun from both the front
and rear.
In the earlier assaults, several whole
corps of Teutons were slain. 1t is pre-
dicted here that the German losses will
be so great as to defeat the present Of
fensive, though the French, too, have
lost heavily.
