PRESIDENT WILSON ABHORS
RASH ACTION BY U. g.
Declaration of His Definition of VsIor
Brings Gridiron Club, Washing
ton, D. c., to Feet.

Washington, d. president Wilson
told members and guests at a Grid
iron club dinner Saturday night that
America ought to keep out of the Eu-
ropean war "at the sacrifice of every
thing except this single thing upon
which her character and her history
are founded, her sense of humanity
and Justice"
The address was confidential, since
the speeches at the dinners OF the
Gridiren club, composed of newspaper
correspondents, are not reported. 1t
was made public, however, because
many of those who heard it urged that
it should go to the country.
The president spoke at the nations
affairs with unusual gravity. His hear
ers, including several hundred mem
bers of congress, government officials,
business men and correspondents,
were brought to their feet cheering
when he concluded with these words:
I would be just as much ashamed
to be rash as 1 would to be a coward.
Valor is self-respect Valor is cir
cumspect. Valor strikes only when it
is right to strike. Valor withholds
itself from all small implications and
entanglements and waits for the great
opportunity when the sword will flash
as if it carried the light OF Heaven on
it's blade"

FEDERAL ARMY RESERVE
PLAN GROWING IN FAVOR
House Committee Agrees on Bill Pro-
viding for $4,000 Regulars, Fed
eralization of National Guard.

Washington.-A growing tendency
to provide for a federal army reserve
in addition to the regular army and
federalized national guard was man
Tested this week in both the house
and senate military committees. Mem
bers of both committees said they ia
vored a practical test of the posi-
bility of forming a federal volunteer
army in peace times on lines some
what similar to the continental army
plan. The apparent intention to aoan-
don the continental project wholly
was one of the causes leading up to
the resignation of Secretary Garrison.
The house committee has agreed up
on the general terms of bill it ex-
poets to get before the house within
10 days providing for a regular army
with an authorized peace strength of
$4,000 men; a federalized national
guard, which would reach a fixed min
imum strength of $4,000 in five years,
adequate reserve systems for both of
these forces; and organization of
civilian training camps with wide dis
erection reposed in the war department
as to the terms of enlistment, training
and government.
The senate committee has agreed
tentatively to a plan under which
training camps would be authorized in
every congressional district where suf-
ficient men volunteered for training
under an obligation for war service.
The maximum force to be thus raised
in any district would be a battalion,
or substantially the same number as
proposed for the first year of the
Garrison continental army plan. The
camps would be under command of full
compliments of regular army officers.
Members of both committees, while
saying they would support any good
plan for federalizing the national
guard as a first line force, frankly ad-
NIT that they have doubts whether
a requisite force could be enlisted in
the national guard, even under the pro-
posed federal pay and regulation pro-
visions.

PUT It
UP TO CONGRESS
HE WILL NOT PROCEED WITH
GERMAN SUBMARINE MATTER
UNTIL UNITED.
WANTS OPPOSITION PUBLIC
Requests Representative Pou, Chair
man of Rules Committee, to Bring
Matter to Floor of House for
Full Discussion.

Washington, Feb. 29.-President
Wilson decided today that he can not
proceed with the German submarine
negotiations while dissension in con-
gress weakens his position before the
world, so he called for a showdown
on the pending proposals to warn all
Americans off merchant ships of the
European belligerents armed for de-
Tense.
Making clear that he considers the
president, and not congress, charged
with the, conduct of the foreign rela-
tons of the United States. he wrote a
letter to Representative Pou, acting
chairman of the house rules commit
tee, asking him to provide parliament
tary means for bringing the agitation
out into the open on the floor of the
house for full discussion and vote.
Later he summoned Senator Stone
and Representative Flood, chairman
of the foreign affairs committee, and
Senator Kern, majority leader in the
senate, for a conference at the White
House, at which he will request that
one of the various pending resolutions
be acted upon in both houses.
Administration leaders, working
steadily for the last week strengthen
ing their lines and counting on the
support of the republicans, now are so
sure of their position that they plan
to end all agitation with a vote of con-
fidence in the president.

AROUND VERDUN
BOTH GERMANY AND FRANCE
CLAIM THEIR VICTORY
LEGIoNS RUSH TO AID.
HEAVY ARTILLERY IN ACTION
British Lines Extended in Belgium
and France to Replace Soldiers
Rushed to Big Battle, Now Called
The Terrific Slaughter.

In the great battle, centering around
versun, in which a half million men
are engaged, Champneuville. to the
west, and the fortified works of Hard
aumont, to the east of Fort Douau-
mont, have been captured by the Ger
mans, Berlin reports.
Berlin also claims to have captured
the Cote de Talou, to the west of Dou-
oumont, but, according to the French
official statement, the artillery fire
coming from both sides has rendered
this position untenable for either the
French or Germans.
The French are hurting attack after
attack upon the Douaumont positions
held by the Germans, who are declar-
ed to be maintaining themselves there
with difficulty. but in the Woevre re-
gion, to the east of Verdun, the French
advanced posts have been withdrawn.
British lines in Belgium and France
are being extended to replace French
soldiers who are being rushed to the
Verdun region to take part in the
fighting, (which has settled down to
a terrific slaughter" according to ad-
vices received at Ottawa from the bat
tie front. Approximately twenty army
divisions have been thrown into the
battle by the Germans, while the
French troops number fifteen divi-
sions, cable messages say.

was asserted, had stormed the fortified
works Of Hardamount, as well as the
town of Champneuville and the Cote
de Talou. The number of unwounded
Frenchmen taken prisoners, it was
added, totaled $4,000
Fierce Fighting Continues.
Paris.-The fight for the possession
Of Verdun goes on with increasing VIC
lence, multiplying the dead and wound
ed to point where the losses have
gone beyond the calculators.
1t is impossible to verify how many
reenforcements the Germans have
brought up, but the military critics be-
lieve that OF the 100000 men that be-
gan the attack few will be left at the
end of the first fighting.
Activities Lessenng.
London, Feb. 29.-With the lessen
ing of the activity of the contending
forces to the north of Verdun, the
French in the Woevre region, east of
Verdun, are using their artillery to
break up German preparations for
further advances toward the fortress.
