PARIS, March 2.-The press and
public of France are mystiGod at the
continued pause in the German attack
around Verdun. Caution born of exc
perIencc leads generally to the reiec-
tlon Of the view that the Germans have
given up all hope of trying. to capture
the Lorraine fortress. II Is thought
more likely they are merely resting
before starting Rtresh with greater
energy.
1t Is believed In many quarters that
the attack on Yerdun was only q pre-
llminary to operations on, much
larger scale for the purpose of trying
to crush the French once and for all.
However, that may be. II Is affirmed.
that General Joffre is fully prepared
for all eventualities. SO far only the
local French reserves have been called
.upon at Verdun. the great general re-
serve forces remaining intact for use
in repelling over-heayy onslaughts or
carrying out great counter attack
when the opportune moment comes.
Tho question ia raised as 10 whether
the next German attack will again be
at Vordun or along the front from the
Somme to the Aisne, as 1t Is known
that the Germans have been making
preparations along the latter line, the
southern limit OF which Is many miles
nearer to Paris than is verdun. These
preparations, however, are not so
elaborate as those which had been
made for Verdun.
On the other hand IL the Germans
continue their assaults against Verdun
from the plain of the Woevre there
infantry will have to attack unsupport-
ed by the heaviest German guns, it Is
agreed, as the water-soaked clay soil
OF the Lorraine plain makes the trans
port OF such guns almost impossible.
The plain Is only crossed by four mill
tary roads and troops and light artil-
lery would be Obliged TO deploy in the
open under fire from the French posi-
tlons on the heights Of the Mouse.
Two valleys lead to Verdun from
the plain. Both are blocked by Forts
Des Tavennes and Rozellier, and
everywhere else the infantry would
face thickly wooded heights with a.
straight drop OF $50 feet The Ger
mans would have here, however, all
the resources Of Metz within easy
reach.
The evact figures OF the French
losses at Verdun have been given to-
the committee Of the military AFFAIRS
OF the chamber Of deputies. II is said
they were not high.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Adminis-
tration forces, faced with delay in the
House, turned Thursday to the Senate
to carry olit President Wilson's de-
mand for the defeat of resolutions
warning Americans of armed ships of
European belligerents.
Chairman Stone of the foreign rela-
tions committee announcing openly
from the floor that he was not in ac-
cord with the president on the issue
proposed, however. that the Senate
take an adjournment instead Of an
other recess and thereby get into a
new legislative day relieving the par
liamentary situation, which thus far
has held Senator Cores resolution,
from coming to a vote. His action was
taken. after a conference of admins
tration leaders, who were satisfied
they had the votes to defeat the Gore
resolution and demonstrate to Ger
many that the dissension against the
presidents foreign policy does not
have the support of Congress.
at has been decided to bring the
resolution up for action as soon as
possible but probably not today" said
Senator James. of Kentucky, one of
the administration supporters. I'VE

smash 1t"
Senator Stone at the outset Of his
proposal made a statement Of the in
ternational situation as he understood
1t.
Senator Stone declared it was his
hope that something could be done at
once to bring the president and Con-
gress more closely in accord on the
issue and that he was framing sub
stitute for all pending resolutions on
the subject.
Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts
ranking Republican member OF the
foreign relations committee. declared
he was in accord with Senator Stones
desire for prompt action and he
agreed that the issue was more I'M
portant than anything else now before
Congress.

PRESIDENT PLANS
MEETING SOON ON
PHILIPPINE BILL

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
Wilson probably will call Senate and
House leaders together soon to agree
on the exact terms of the Philippine
independence bill, which already has
passed the Senate and is threatened
with amendment in the House. He
indicated as much to-day to the two
Philippine commissioners.
The President was told by the com
Inissioners that they approve the bill
as passed by the Senate, with the ex-
ception of the clause providing that
the President may refer the question
of independence back to Congress if
he thought the people of the islands
unfit for independence at the end of
four years. They said they wanted
a time set when the Philippines
would be free.
The President told the commissions
ers, he had not made up his mind
whether the Senate bill entirely met
his approval and that he wanted to
confer with Congressional leaders be-
fore announcing his decision.
