FRENCH CLAIM TO HAVE RETAKEN FORT

Paris, February 26.-The official statement issued by the war office to- night mentions the sanguinary strug- gle which has been going on around Fort Douaumont, which 1t describes as an advance element of the old de- fensive organization of the fortress of verdun.p and declares that the posi- tion captured this morning by the Ger mans was reached again by the French troops, who advanced beyond that point and have resisted all attempts to drive them back The text of the statement follows:
 'In Artois mine fighting has been in progress. We exploded two mines one to the west of the road to Lille and the second to the east of Neu- ville-St Vaast under a tunnel occu- pied by the enemy.
 Tn Champagne we completely re- pulsed an attack by the enemy against a salient carried by us to the south of Ste Marie-A-Py. The total number of prisoners taken by us in this affair has reached $40. of whom nine are of fice7s and s6 noncommissioned officers
 .sDestructive fires have been carried out against the German works to inc north or ViIlezSar- fessrie and Tn the region of Mont Tetu.
 .In the region to the north of Yer dun the bombardrnent continues with out cessation to the east and to the west of the Mouse. To these attacks of the enemy our troops have replied by counter attacks carried out with vigor at the various points assailed on our front,
 "All the new attempts of the Ger mans in the region of Chamneuville and on La Cote Du Poivre. where we are solidly established, have been re- pulsed.
 "A furious struggle has been in prog ress around Fort Douaumont. which is an advance element of the old defensive organization of verdun fortress. The po- sition captured this morning by the ene- my after several fruitless assaults, which cost him extremely heavy losses, was reached again and gone beyond by our troops, which all the attempts of the enemy have not been able to push back.
 ITO the northeast of St. Mihiel our heavy artillery bombarded enemy hangars and depots near Vigneulles. The Ger mans have fired several shells of large calibre in the direction of Luneville and Nancy.

Washington, February 26.- Especially It develops tonight that the "open re- volt on the part of Congress against the President in the U-boat controversy was precipitated through pregnant fear that the administration was pro- ceeding headlong in a course predes- tined to conclude in war against Ger many.
 During the week, the President was quoted as having said in confidence that should the United States withdraw it's ambassador and issue passports to the plenipotentiaries of the Kaiser, Ger many would be compelled to declare war. and that with the fleet of the United States preparing to thunder against the strongholds of the Teutonic nation, that power would perforce sue for peace within 90 days
