DISTRICT DRY" BILL
WON'T Reach VOTE
Senate to Pigeonhole Measure
to Apply Prohibition In
Washington.

Washington, March 1.-THE Shep-
pard national prohibition amendment
has probably been blocked for this ses-
sion. This was he information dis
closed today following a meeting of the
Senate judiciary committee.
The committee discussed the pro-
posed amendment but got nowhere. 1t
has had the matter up in previous
meetings with k results. 1t has be-
come apparent that the opponents Of
the amendment are trying to hold it in
committee and prevent it from going to
a vote in the Senate this session. The
chances are they will either succeed in
holding it in committee indefinitely or
will hold it there until late in the ses-
sion when a vote in the Senate can
be avoided. Senator Cummins strongly
urged the committee to vote on the
amendment today and report it out.

Washington, March 14.-Word ha.

that he may go to Switzerland, instead
Of coming home.

FORT VAUx BATTLE MOST
TERRIFIC OF VERDON DRIVE

Paris, March 1.-THE German losses
in the fighting around Fort Vaux. last
Friday n Saturday Surpass all pre-
vious records in this war, according to
officers who have returned from Yer
dun. Time and time again, and with
extraordinary courage, the Germans in
olumns four deep rushed from their
trenches only to melt away under the
fire of the French ~, $50 anu 30 milli-
meter guns. When the smoke and dust
cleared nothing was to be seen but
heaps of bodies.
The spur on which the Tort is stu
ated is almost perpendicular in places.
The German ines We're forced to halt,
but many Bavarian reservists climbed
up on one another's shoulders and
struggled up the slope, clinging to
angles of rock and grasping tufts of
grass. Again and again these human
pyramids collapsed into shapeless gray
masses. At the lowest estimate the
attackers lost two-thirds Of their eff
fectives.
The fightino was desperate, when
regiments from the Fifteenth and
Eighteenth German army corps at
tackled the village of Vaux, on Friday.
Dawn was breaking and over the coun-
try hung a heavy white mist, making
everything invisible beyond 100 yards.
This enabled the Germans to get with
ing rushing distance of the French
front trenches. but although they ut
numbered the defenders six to one, it
took four distinct assaults before the
first column of Germans won the
shelter Of a small group of houses be-
yond the church of vaux. Then they
organized an assault upon the church
and the French, being unable to bring
up reinforcements on account Of the
German curtain of fire. withdrew their
advance elements. Five times the
north Prussian regiments rushed to at
tack the church h1t avery TINA fhox,

machine guns and %shrapnel from the
French So milimeter mountain guns. In
the meantime, in their rear a curtain
of fire was kept by the French 75's and
BIOS so that it was impossible for mu-
nitions and reinforcements to be
brought up for their benefit and the
fight died down o. Friday night from
sheer exhaustion.

TAKING NO CHANCES.


Washington, D. G., March IL.
The crux of the whole Mexi-
can situation, as described to-
day in highest quarters, relates
to whether the exposition
against Villa will be compelled
to face either a hostile Mexico
or the hostility Of strong ele-
ments that will rally to Villa or
some other leader in a new up
rising whose motto will be,
Death to the Gringoes."
Apprehension on this
accounts for the formidable and
careful operation of General
Funston. The president has APP
prosld them. 1t is realized in
administration and congress
sional circles that once Ameri-
can troops are IN Mexican force,
it will speedily develop whether
the United States is face to
face with armed intervention.

Delay in Appropriations Already Has
Compelled Shutting of Gates to
Crowds on Sunday.

Unless the District appropriation bill
Is passed soon, the municipal bathing
pools may be compelled 10 close ahead
OF the scheduled time. Because Of lack
OF funds the pools are kept closed on
sundays. DR.. s. z. Cousins, director Of
the beach, believes the largest crowds
are Sunday crowds. but as It takes so
day to run the pools, 1t will be i'm
possible to open on the Sabbath until
after the bill has been accepted and the
new funds received.
Bathers living in the vicinity OF the
playground pools are urged TO use them.
as the Bathing Beach now Is uncomfort-
ably crowded each day. Within the next
three years the public bathing place near
the Washington Monument will give
way TO large road leading to the Lin
coin Memorial. The authorities hope that
by that time there will be pools Of fair
size IN every playground in the city.
Delayed legislation may cause the pools
70 close before September l5, the date
that has been set for the windup.
