Dead Choke Ravines.

Paris. Between Avocourt wood and
Fort Douaumont, northwest and north
east of Verdun, across a front 20 miles
wide, there are dozen ravines SO
choked with dead that CHASTITY barriers
are formed by the corpses
Never before has there been fighting
of such ferocity as has been seen dur
ing the last week upon the shell-torn
hill slopes where half million Ger
man and French soldiers were in COM
bat.
During the direct attacks and coun-
ter-assaults it is estimated that the
Germans lost full corps in dead and
wounded. Particularly severe were
the German losses around Fort Douau-
mont, which is again in German hands.
With a calleus disregard for human
life, the German legions were sent for
ward in mass formation, wave upon
wave, into the curtain of fire of the
French artillery and the inferno Of
machine-gun fire.

In the Arsa valley, on the direct
route to vicenza, the Austrians and
Italians are fighting on the frontier
line. Between this point and the Astco
river the Italians have withdrawn from
the upper basin of the Posina river,
which comprises part of the Terra
gnola valley and have concentrated in
the Arsiero basin which descends to
Sehio and Vicenza.

FOR THE NAVY
Bill Carries So. 1877 600 Over
Last Year.
PROVIDES FOR az WARsHIPs
five Battle Cruisers Needed "Tc Bal
ance Fleet Properly" Naval Com
mIttee Says Speed Needed
To Meet Speed.

Washington-The Naval Appropria-
tons bill carving $241 ,000,0 00.9S to
provide sea defenses for the nation,
was formally recommended to the
House for passage by the House Naval
Affairs Committee. The bill calls for
$91, 1877 ,28711 more than the naval bill
last year.
The new ships to be provided by the
bill were set forth in the report as fol-
lows: Five battleship cruisers, to cost
$20,433, 531 each; a scout cruisers, cost
ing $5.571, 900 each; 10 destroyers,
costing $1.325,314; 8 submarines of a
surface displacement of about 500 tons,
costing $1,206, 3e2 each; II smaller sub
marines, costing $731, 1902 each; / fuel
ship, costing $780, 72; ammunition
ship, costing $2,704. $50; hospital ship.
costing $2.25O, 900.
The total cost of this program will
amount to s160,0s7,377, and the appro-
priation necessary to carry this pro-
gram into effect for the fast year will
amount to SIS. 244,326.
The committee explained that the
Recommendation for FIVE battle cruisers
and the failure to recommend single
dreadnaught did not indicate that the
battleship has been displaced by an
other type of war craft.
"'Fhe great majority OF experts who
appeared before the committee" said
the report, sand the committee itself
are of the opinion that the most press
ing need of the feet today is the add
ton of battle cruisers and scout cruis-
ers. Our feet of -dreadnaughts and
pre-dreadnaughts has reached such a
proportion that the construction of bat
tie cruisers must be now authorized
and construction begun at once in or
der that our feet be properly balanced
for lighting efficiency.
"In operations against an enemy that
possesses battle cruisers, the United
States, without any such vessels, will
be at most serious disadvantage. At
the outbreak of the present war there
were Of this type built and building in
the British Navy, 10: in the German
Navy, 8; in the Japanese Navy, 4, and
in the Russian Navy. 4. Recent re-
ports tend to indicate that these num-
bers are being added to as rapidly as
building facilities under war pressure
will permit. A lesson to be learned
from this war seems to be that the
only method of defense against the
battle cruiser seems to be the battle
cruiser.
''The committee recommends the
adoption of the provision for the cali
ing of disarmament congress by the
President at the close of the European
war The committee would appro-
PIRATE 100000 for-the expenses Of the
congress"
The bill provides for 1880 increase
in the enlisted personnel of the navy
and an increase of 3,079 in the marine
corps 1t likewise would authorize:
A naval aviation corps of $50 officers
and student flyers, and $50 enlisted
men, with a 100000 appropriation
for aviation work.

Conditions Have Changed.

During his last visit to Europe.
Colonel House made no effort and con-
Quoted no investigations In the di-
rection of peace-in Berlin at any
event--having perhaps found absolute
iy adverse conditions in capitals of
nations hostile to Germany Pre-
sumably, also, he had previous infor-
nation that American mediation was
under no circumstances desired and
that II would not be accepted as long
as the United States continued to sup
ply Germany's foes with cannon. shot
shell, cartridges, powder and thou
sand and one other requisites for
waging war against the Central Pow
ers. Moreover, no intimation had been
given at the time of this visit that
Feasibility in high quarters here on
the munitions questions was in any
way abated
The situation, it may be said, now
has changed. Apparently there Is no
harm, from either a political or q
strategical standpoint, in saying that
Germany would, welcome peace.
Like Came OF Poker.
As Arthur Won Gwinner, managing
director of the Deutsehe Bank in Ber-
lin, stated to the Associated Press cor
respondent recently, Germany is in the
position of q poker player who has
gatheredsin all the money on the table
and naturally is willing to break off
an all-night session and retire with
his winnings, while the others persist
in continuing in the hope of recouping
some of their losses. The cards, how
ever, to continue the simile, are run
ming strongly in the Germans, favor,
1t ia pointed out, as shown in the re-
newed postponement of the Iong-her-
aided Anglo-French offensive in the
west, the steady though slow progress
of the Crown Prince at Verdun, the
victories of the Turks, and. finally, the
] crushing results of the Austrian Of
fensive in the Trentino.
Whether these events are enough to
induce the Entente Allies to retire
from what is looked upon here as a
losing game, and whether the changed
tone of the utterances of Premier As
Quith and Sir Edward Grey, and what
is considered disavowal of their in
tention TO crush Germany as nation
and commercial rival or dismember
the empire. are indicative OF re-
captivity toward reasonable peace
proposals is an uncertain factor in the
reckoning. :.
