stage than at any time since it came
into existence, and the future of this,
the parent of minor leagues, is any

President and Congress at Outs
Over Gernany's Proposed Sea Rule

Washington, d. C.-Agitation in
congress for action warning Americans
off armed ships Of the European bel
ligerents suddenly grew to such pro-
portions Thursday that Democrats OF
the foreign affairs committee voted to
canvass the sentiment Of the house on
several pending resolutions of that ma
ture.
Sentiment in the senate in favor OF
some such action also was expressed
openly, but at the end of day OF sur
prises, tension and agitation such as
has not been seen in congress in some
time, the word came that President
Wilson still was unalterably opposed to
any such action by congress, and that
he would only be embarrassed thereby
in the negotiations with Germany.
Suggestions were widely circulated
that the situation had reached point
where the President soon would lay it
before congress, that Secretary Lans-
ing might in some way define the at
titude of the government in commu-
nication to Senator Stone, and that a
time had been fixed within which the
United States would expect Germany
to signify her intention to abandon the
announced intention to sink armed
merchant ships without warning.

AMERICAN NAVY THIRD ON list;
EQUAL TO ANY BY YEAR 1925

Washington, d. C.--The object OF
the building policy formulated in 1913
by the Navy General Board, it was dis
closed Wednesday before the house ma
val committee, was to keep the United
States ahead Of Germany in the race
for naval supremacy. The statement
was made by Rear Admiral Charles ].
Badger, member Of the general
board, who explained that the policy
had contemplated feet Of 48 first-line
battleships by 1919 to accomplish its
purpose.
The statement did not go into the
record of the hearing and Admiral
Badger did not amplify it to show why
the board had thought such a course
necessary.
The admiral was replying to a sug-
gestion that the object of the old pol
icy, abandoned this year by the board
for the first time, was to keep the
American navy in second place. While

Army Of $4,000 Engaged in
Attack on 25-MiIe Front.
FIRST LARGE BATTLE or PRESENT YEAR
May Be Forerunner Of More Decisive
Events Battle Only Begun
Gain Small; Loss Heavy.

Paris-The battle of Verdun contin-
ues with growing intensity. 1t ex-
tends over front Of 400 kilometers
US miles), and seven German army
corps $3.50, 000 men), are engaged.
This announcement was made officially
by the war Office.
The official statement issued earlier
in the day made reference to the ener-
getic bombardment being conducted
in that region, but referred to the in
fantry activity as extending over a
front of only Is kilometers no miles).
There was violent fighting at other
points on the French front as well.
"The struggle, " says the War office
communication, sis continued with
violence against the right bank Of the
Meuse toward the southeast. East Of
this point counter attack enabled US
to retake the greater part Of the forest
of Causes, situated in the salient oc-
cupied by the enemy north of Beau
mont.
"a strong German attack on Herbe
forest was stopped by our curtain fire.
According to statements of prisoners,
whole units were completely destroyed
in the course Of these actions.
"A desultory artillery duel contin-
ues in the region of Haute Charriere
and of Fromerey in lorraine. In the
region of Nomeny, our artillery has
been active. An enemy reconnaissance
north Of Letricourt failed to reach our
lines.
"In the Herbe forest we have evac-
uated the village of Haumont. We
still hold the envirous after q bitter
fight, in which our troops inflicted
heavy losses on the enemy"
The great battle raging along the
25-mile front from Etain to Malan-
court is being followed with intense
interest by the public. It disposes
effectively of the question whether the
Germans would make an early often
sive. The battle is the first on large
scale since the offensive in the Cham
pagne in September and is believed to
be the forerunner Of stirring and pos
sibly decisive events.
The principal fighting centers in the
rough and thickly wooded country be-
tween Etain and Damvillers. Here
some 800, 900 of the German Crown
Princes best infantry are engaged.
The battle as yet is only beginning,
but it is said already to have cost the
assailants Of the French heavy casual
ties and without any appreciable ad-
vantage.

Action on Submarine Situation
Put Off by Both Houses.
'WM. J. BRYAN IS AGAINST PRESIDENT
Plain Talk Exchanged but President
Wilson Still Stands Solidly for
Full Rights Of Americans.

Washington, d. C.-Congress settled
down Saturday to await developments
In the submarine controversy between
the United States and Germany with
an overwhelming majority Of both
houses apparently definitely deter
mined to take no action which might
embarrass the administration in the
present stage Of diplomatic negotia-
tions a few of the more ardent advo-
Gates of legislation to keep Americans
of armed ships continued their activ-
ities, and ex-Secretary Bryan's sup
port for them was shown in the form
Of b telegram, but even most Of them
admitted there was no propect of inn
mediate action.
So far as the administration is
concerned, it was said authoritatively
that while any agitation of the issue
Just now was undesirable, there was
no disposition to oppose vote on the
pending armed-ship resolutions If their
sponsors tried to force one.
1t was declared that reports from
the capitol during the day showed con-
clusively that the senate and the house
wdaId stand behind President Wilson
In his refusal to permit any abridge-
ment Of the rights Of American citi-
zens on the seas, as outlined in his let
ter to Senator Stone.
The President reiterated his state.
ments in that letter to Speaker Clark,
Majority Leader Kitchin and Repre-
sentative Flood, chairman of the house
foreign affairs committee, early in the
day when they called at the White
House to tell of the situation on their
side Of the capitol and hear the execu-
tive's views.
There was plain speaking both by
President Wilson and his callers. Mr..
Wilson said plainly that his efforts to
keep the country at peace were likely
to be hindered by impressions sent
abroad by congress, and the congress-
men were equally frank in giving
notice that strong sentiment existed
at the capitol against risking the pos
sibility Of war by permitting Ameri-
cans to travel on armed belligerent
ships, whatever might be their rights
under international law.
Although wholly different reports
came from other sources during the
day, Speaker Clark declared he be-
lieved resolution to warn citizens of
armed vessels would carry in the house
by two to one if it reached vote.
The house delegation went back to
the capitol with word that the Presi-
dent stood unalterably by his position.
There the situation rests, and while
there probably will be many more con
ferences and possibly some speeches
the generally accepted opinion is tha
no further serious effort to bring abou
action will be made, unless develop
ments occur to make rupture of re
lations with Germany imminent.
