LONDON, Feb. 2G.-The strong
French fortress of Dumont, defending
Verdan from the northeast and locst-
ed only four miles from the outskirts
Of the city, has fallen before the Ger.
man attack, according to an official
announcement issued at Berlin.
The evacuation of this fortress, it is
believed, was preceded by the collapse
Of the whole French line from the
ridge Cote Du Hoivre eastward through
Eezonviaux
The fall OF Doumont marks the first
breach in the Verdun forts and is be.
lieved to indicate that the whole Of
the great French fortress is threaten.
ed by the mightiest stroke that has
been delivered by the crown prince
since the fighting around Verdun be-
gan.
Dispatches say the kaiser himself
witnessed the capture of Dounfont
The crown prince can Tow bring
heavy guns to bear on Forts Devaur
and Detavennes, Immediately south os
Doumont, and Fort De Belleville, which
is just outside OF Verdun.
At the same time the Germans can
sweep the entire northern plain about
the city of Verdun.
No accurate estimate of the losses
can be obtained. but it is accepted
that the casualties on both sides az
gregated over one hundred thousand
men.
The French report that the Germans
lost one hundred and fifty thousand
but this figure is regarded as too
high. The French line was thrown
back four miles along an eight-mile
front.
Verdun, which hitherto has been
considered impregnable is now beliey-
cd to be seriously threatened. The
official French statement, issued this
afternoon fails to confirm the fall o.
Doumont.

Wilson's Foreign Policy
But it is when one turns to his for
eign policy that one realizes the short
comings that have characterized Pres
ident Wilson's administration. He lift
ed the embargo and put arms into the
hands of savages. Americans and
other nationalities, and especially help
less and peaceable Mexicans, were sub
jected to all the horrors Of uncivilized
warfare. Neither sex nor condition of
non-combatants was respected, but all
alike, little girls, women, tottering old
men, fell victims to the lust and bru-
tally of rival factions.
At Durango in spite of the protest
Of the American Consul, and without
any objection from our government,
the city was given over by the consti-
nationalist general to the unrestrained
license of his soldiers for "a hours.
American women were gathered in
MacDonald's institute where their hus-
bands barricaded the building and
fought to preserve them from the ra-
pacity of rebel soldiers.
Extort Promissory Notes
And then to cap the infamy, after
Americans had been abandoned to
their fate, and ordered to get out of
Mexico the best way they could, Mr..
Wilson's government extracted prom
issory notes from them, payable to
Mr.. Bryan, for transportation home,
charging them per cent, and furnish
ed only Storage. Is it any wonder the
honor of America has persisted before
the world?

VAUDEVILLE "TALENT.

From the Savannah News.
John L. Sullicvan is going to quit the
vaudeville stage for the chautauqua plat
form, it is learned. There are at least a
handful of people who had forgotten that
John L. was on the stage. Ii they had
thought about the matter at all, they
would quite naturally have assumed that
he was so engaged, as he had become
too old to fight; but somehow the average
person has never been impressed with the
fact that there was a vaudeville star OF
such a name.
The question arises, of course: Why is
he going to transfer his talents to The
chautauqua platform? That leads alsI
to the question: How did he break in as
a vaudeville performer? John L. once
had the knack of making himself dis.
tinctly entertaining in the boxing ring
both to the spectators and to the man
who happened to be In the ring with him
but his vaudeville offering was quite d
different kind of performance. Without
knowing very much about the "class' Of
John LIS stage work, one is disposed tt
believe that he was not peculiarly fitted
by nature for role. Certa inly the facl
that he got away with it, is no proof
that he was so fitted.
The vaudeville stage is coming to BIZ
the favorite resort of "has-beens." The
man who can sing or dance or reel of
some enlivening stories will be accepted
in pinch. but he can hardly hope to at
tain place of prominence as long as
there is fair crop of men who have worr
championship belts for pugilistic prowess
or who have mastered the mysteries o.
the spitball.
