PARIS, Feb. 24.-Fifty thousand men have al
ready fallen before the whitening fire of the French
guns as the Germans hurl their troops in mass at
tack upon the Notifications of Verdun. The above
statement was made today by Paris military ex-
pertS.
Despite the ferocity of the drive, it is thought
the Allied lines will remain intact until the TeutOn
offensive spends itself. Furious counter-attacks
are being launched by the French to recapture the
positions lost Tuesday and Wednesday, The
troops have met with but partial success.
1t is reported 100000 men are fighting in the
German ranks in an effort to force their way to
Verdun The defenders number 200, 900, but the
elaborate system of earth-wOrkS, barb-wire entan-
clements and trenches more than make up for the
difference. The present battle line stretches for
IS miles.

Deafness is the result, and unless the in

OREGON ESTIMATE
PROVES TRUE ONE
Vote Against Brewers Amendment
With Majority Predicted by
Antt-Saloon League.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 1.-THE day
before the election of November Z, the
Anti-Saloon League declared that the
Brewers Amendment would be de-
feated by majority of $4,000. Com
plete returns verify that estimate al
most to the dot. The Brewers Amend
ment was defeated In every county in
the State and the total dry majority
was increased by one-third over that
of two years ago.
The bone dry" amendment pro-
hibiting the importation of liquor for
beverage purposes was carried by
$500 majority, winning in about
twenty out Of the thirty-flve counties.
The majorities against the amendment
were small in most OF the counties that
voted against the bone dry measure
There was a majority Of 10, 900 against
ii in Multnomah County. the seat Of
which is Portland.
In accordance with the Supreme
Court decisions In the Kentucky and
Arizona cases. the measure will not
become effective until the Legislature
forbids possession of liquor for bev-
erage purposes. The Anti-Saloon
League is organizing campaign to
present to the Legislature such
measure drawn by the attorney-gen-
eral.
