FORT DOUAUMOhT
AGAIN UNDER FIRE

London, Mar. 13.-Fighting at
lverdun entered It's fourth week to-
day, with reports of terrific artillery
work around Forts Douaumont, De
vaux and Bethincourt. evidently in
preparation for more infantry opera
tions.
All day Sunday German cannon
searched the French front with hail
of projectiles. The French accepted
this as forecasting new attempts
against Fort De vaux and the posi-
tions southwest OF verdun. They
are prepared to meet whatever the
day may bring forth.
Berlin dispatches admit the Ger
mans no longer hold Fort De vaux.
Paris credited the Germans with
great bravery, but reiterated that the
Teutons never entered the fort It.
self. According to French accounts,
a Posen regiment first charged into
vaux village, then emerged from 1t
and ran toward the fort. which stands
800 feet above the plain.
French officers say they never
saw Germans sacrifice their lives so
recklessly," said a Paris dispatch.
They repeatedly debouched from
their trenches and attacked In ranks
four-deep. smothered by the French
fire. Six and eight inch shells ex-
ploded right on top Of the huddled
Germans. When the smoke and dust
cleared. nothing could be seen but a
mass OF tangled bodies. The spur on
which the fort stands is In many
places almost perpendicular. When
they reached its steep sides. the main
force Of Germans was obliged to
halt. but many Bavarian reserves
struggled up the slope amid hail Of
bullets, They climbed on one an
others shoulders, hanging to the
sharp angles Of rocks and grasping
tufts Of grass. Repeatedly. however.
their human pyramids collapsed into
shapeless gray masses.
Where the slopes were not so
steep, the German attack was con-
centrated and the bitches red with
their blood. Finally their officers
halted the butchery and the fighting
stopped. They must at tho very low
est estimates have lost more than
two-thirds Of their strength"

EXPECTS NO TROUBLE
WITH Mr., CARRANzA

Washington, Mar. 13.--President
Wilson Will be able, the adminlstra-
ton believes, to conduct an expedi-
tlon against "Pancho" villa with
out meeting opposition from Proyi-
slonal President Carranza.
Although no word was TO be had
from Wilson, officials were convinced
CaYanza's request FOR military re-
!, 1pfoclty' would be granted.
The Mexican embassy's assurances
that the belllcose-sounding Carranza
manifesto suffered In translation. and
that his resentment against the In
vasion Is no stronger than was
evinced In the more formal note OF
Saturday, tend to confirm the view
that Carranza would not start
trouble.
No news that the expedition had
moved across the border was forth
coming,
President Wilson will confer with
Secretary Lansing at p. m, and
frame reply TO Carranza's note.
This 10 TO be forwarded at once.
II is believed President Wilson has
the right TO accept the proposition
without senatorial action. oficlal-
dom generally, however, was rather
uneasy about Mexico. General Fun
ston's report that he would move de-
liberately until sure OF his ground
was accepted as proper procedure In
view OF tho unsettled state Of the
negotiations. The fear was expressed
that should Carranza's note be ac-
cepted, villa will spread reports that
the expeditions purpose was to In
wade and subjugate Mexico. swith
this slogan, he could undoubtedly
rally many to his support,

Our loyalty is to the fact :
not merely to the name, and least OF

Yet 1t has become entirely evident
that the people under existing condi-
lions are not prepared to accept new
party"
THE Progressive national organi-
cation no longer offers the means
whereby We can make these convic-
tons effective in our national life.
Under such circumstances our duty
is to do the best we can, and not to
sulk because our leadership is re-
jected."
Under existing conditions the
nomination of third ticket would
in my judgment, be merely a move
in the interest Of the election of Mr..
Wilson. shall therefore
strongly support Mr.. Hughes
cannot accept the nomination of q
third ticket. do not believe that
there should be third ticket"
Without any regard to what the
personal feelings Of any of us may
be as regards the action of the Re-
publican convention, I wish very
solemnly to ask the representatives
of the Progressive party to consider
at this time only the welfare Of the
people of the United States"

Gossip of the Political
--=Clans

A bunch of old women busy Great
ing and peddling scandal are rank
amateurs compared with the standpat
political wiseacres of this community
who pussyfoot up to q man with an
air of mystery and deep humiliation
and insinuate everything from petty
thievery to piracy against Governor
Lister and other Democratic officials.
Have you heard the real truth
about Governor Lister?" is the way
1t usually starts. you haven't?
Great guns! can't tell you. because
got It from q friend. who got it
from a friend. who got 1t from head
quarters, and it's awful. Just wait
till all the facts come out! No; I
can't tell you where I got it," And
SO on ad nauseum.
Just at present these male gossips
are going the rounds with shocked
faces and baited breath, asking.
Have you heard about the way the
governor is making all the Demo-
cratic state employees dig up for his
campaign" But so far as anybody
has heard not one of them has
offered any proof-they claim to be
protecting somebody when you ask
them about it.
The size of the contribution report
ed to have been demanded depends
upon the credulity of the man they
have sought out to talk to. 1t ranges
all the way from 10 to 80 per cent
and no doubt they will soon have it
100 per cent, all of which compels
the observation that a gossip is bad
enough, but when you add to it the
attributes of sneak and a prevari-
Gator you've got about the lowest
specimen Of humanity obtainable
Yet these men aspire to be leaders in
the community! The ward heller
and the strong-arm man are highly
respectable compared with politician,
Of this type.
The meat Of the nut is simply this:
The Republican organization has
always levied tribute on its Office
holders to meet campaign expenses
Some Of the ofIices are collecting the
fund now and have been for some
weeks. What these politicians about
town are trying to do is to discredit
the Democrats and Governor Lister
to cover up their own actions.
Before going further let 1t be said
that It is perfectly proper for state
omcials to contribute to the campaign
fund-any man, in a public or pri
vate position, has this right, and fol
some It is a duty. There is a vas
difference, however, in the method.

employed. The Republicans are wor-
ried because Governor Lister has alb
sOlutely refused to allow any money
to be spent in his campaign that is
obtained by the assessment route and
because the Democratic committee is
collecting funds on an absolutely vol
untary basis. Not one of the pussy
footers can disprove that statement.
The card sent out to Democrats in
the administration cannot be misread
1T is plain. The full text Of it is
as follows:
I'VE are approaching a state cam
paign; funds are needed to conduct
1t successfully. In the past, state
employees have been assessed s, 10
or even larger percentages of their
yearly salary for campaign purposes;
our opponents are making such as
sessments now.
"The committee representing the
employees under the Democratic state
against an assessment, but believe
that all those who have enjoyed a
place under the administration should
contribute voluntarily to the cam
paign fund.
1--WE prefer to conduct a campaign
on funds raised in this manner rather
than by forced assessments and con-
tributions from public service corpo-
rations and the interests that always
expect special favors in return. Make
your contribution as liberal as you
can.
Indicate the amount you desire
! to contribute and send this card to
Frank M. Lamborn, treasurer, Olym-
pia, Washington, at once.

NEsTED SUBMARINE, SAYS LAKE
Inventor Believes U-53 Carries q
Smaller Submersible.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct 12-One
submarine within another, or nest sub
marine, both OF which operate individ-
aally, is the solution given today by Simon
Lake, the submarine inventor, to the raid
ing operation off Nantucket.
Passengers and crews of the vessels sunk
have asserted that they saw large sub
marine and a smaller one, both flying the
German flag. Mr.. Lake says these state
ments are strictly within reason, as Rus
sian submarines for years have carried
launches in their hulls, and the Germans
are not unlikely to have made further ad-
vance.
In fact" said Mr. Lake, "there is a
certainty that the U-53 is of size to permit
carrying concealed in her superstructure a
second and smaller submarine sufficiently
large to make possible the escape of her
crew in emergency. | have in my office
here one design of a large cargo carrying
submarine which includes in its equipment
a smaller submarine capable of carrying
100 persons"
