The Germans in the battle-scarred region of Verdun continue their bonn bardments west of the Mouse in the region between Malancourt and Forges, across the river eastward about Vau& and Damtoup and against French trenches in the Woevre region, south east of Verdun.
 Their big offensive, however, so far as infantry attacks are concerned, has ceased, at least for the moment Whether it will begin again or whether the Germans will rest content with the points of vantage they have gained is not indicated in the official reports of either Berlin or Paris.
 Unofficial advices from Berlin have stated that the German plan of cam paign has been primarily based on the bombardment of the sectors they de- sire to attain, and it is presumed they may be now drawing up their big gu4.s to captured positions with the object of smelling points nearer their ob- jective-Verdun.
 East of Verdun around Pont-a- Mousson the French have bombarded German positions heavily in Le Previre woods and near Thiacourt. Artillery duels have been in progress in Alsace.
 There has been no resumption of German attacks in the Champagne re- zion.

PRESIDENT WILSON DEMANDS
 RECORD VOTE IN CONGRESS
On Resolutions to Warn Americans Off
 Armed Ships.

Washington, March l. President Wilson served notice on congress to- night that he will consent to nothing less than a record vote on the anti administration resolutions to warn Americans off armed ships of European belligerents before he goes on with the German submarine negotiations.
 No compromise proposition, such as a vote of confidence in the presidents foreign policy, will be acceptable. Such an action, it is held, might be con- strued in Berlin as juStifying the opin- ion that the president lacks the sup port of congress and his own party In his demands for a full observance of international law, while its only pur- pose would be to afford members of congress in a way to avoid recording their positions before the country on the straight, out-and-out question
 President Wilson made his position clear to congressional leaders tonight in unequivocal terms as the climax to a day of confusion, uncertainty and po- litical manoeuvering that marked the opening of his first real ght with con gress.
 As if to emphasize that the presi dent absolutely refuses to continue the negotiations with Germany until the attitude of congress is settled. it was made known that the United States does not consider the latest assur- ances from Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, as broad or as satisfactory as those originally given.

 OF IMPROPER CONDUCT Against the United States District At torneys Office in New York.

New York, March 1.-Charges of i'm proper conduct were brought against the United States district attorneys s office today by Frank Moss, former as- sistant county prosecutor, who testi- fled before the congressional commit tee which is Investigating impeach- ment charges brought against United States District Attorney Marshall by Congressman Frank Buchanan of Hi noiS.
 MT. Moss complaint had to do with the alleged examination of witnesses for the defense by assistants of MT Marshall prior to the trial of a bank ruptcy case. He declared he had never known such a practice in any other court and that he had sent written protest to My. Marshall in regard to it.
 Other witnesses testified to alleged bullying and coercive tactics which they said had been employed by some of MT. MarshalPs assistants, but DC charges against MT. Marshall person ally were made by any of those who appeared.

While nothing of especial impor- tance has taken place along the British part of the line. the effect Of the German offensive in the Verdun region is shown in the lengthening of their front in order to release the French for the reinforcement of the army opposing the German advance. Unofficial advices had placed the eX- treme southern end of the British lines in the region of Lens. The latest British official communication reports the British fighting north of the Somme, which would show that they have stretched their front between 30 and 40 miles down to the region of Amiens.
 Little is going on in Russia except isolated bombardments and infantry attacks and air raids. On the Italian front the Italians have occupied and consolidated an Austrian position on Mount Maroda.
 On the Asian batt1efields the Rus sians continue their pursuit of the Turks in the Caucasus region and in Persia.
 Germany, according to a despatch from Madrid, has sent an ultimatum to Portugal, demanding the release within As hours of the interned German steamers seized by Portugal.

M'CLENNEN CONTINUES
 DEFENSE OF BRANDEIS.
Gives Details of United Shoe Machin-
 cry Go. Dealings.

Washington March 1.-The relations of Louis D. Brandeis to the United Shoe Machinery company and his con- duct while it's counsel and afterwards were defended today by his law part
 ner, Edward F. McClennen of Boston
 before the senate sub committee in vestigating MT. Brandeis' fitness to be a supreme court justice.
 McClennen's testimony dealt chiefly
 with Brandeis' resignation from the company's directorate in 1906 the re-
 tention in 1911 of the Brandeis firm as counsel for shoe manufacturers who sought to obtain machinery free from conditions imposed by the company's
 opinion given in 1910 by the Brandeis
 firm that the leases were invalid un-
 der the antitrust law.
 The opinion. McClennen said. was
 not intended for publication, but was
 given to Charles H. Jones, a shoe man.
 ufacturer who came to the Brandeis firm and wanted to know if, in view of the company's leases, he could safe ly acquire some machines recently de- veloqed He was told that he could. as the firm believed the leases were in valid That opinion. McClennen said, was based on the supreme courts decision in the Wall paper case. Jones showed the opinion to the manufac- turer of the new machines and the manufacturer published it as an ad- vertisement.
 Brandeis resigned from the com panv's board of directors. the witness 1 declared because he could not bring about the correction of certain fea- | lures of the leases which he regarded | as objectionable and for which he felt | he was in a measure responsible so | long as he remained a director. | The employment of the Brandeis 1 firm by shoe manufacturers fighting
 the machinery company, five years after Rrandeis had resigned, was eX- platned by McC1ennen. He said the
 manufacturers paid the firm $2, 800 and i that Rrandeis paid back that amount
 from his own personal funds.
 ] stephen s. Gregory of Chicago, l former president of the American Bar i association. testified that Brandeis' reputation throuehOut the country was excellent as to both ability and char acter. The hearing will be continu- ed tomorrow

i've chair, he replied directly to the criticisms of the president and his foreign policies made by Former Sen ator Elihu Root at the recent republi- can state convention in New York
 At the conclusion of it's delivery the convention adopted a resolution pro- viding for the distribution by the dem- ocratic state committee of one million copies throughout the country. The platform expressed the faith of New York's democracy in the president and urged his re-nomination and re- election. It was adopted enthusiastic ally amid prolonged cheering. It dealt solely with national and international issues.
 A futile attempt was made by advo- cates of equal suffrage to insert in the platform pledging the party to the af- firmative side of the woman suffrage question Mrs. Inez Milholland Bois- sevant and Mrs. Mary Baird of New York headed a delegation that peti- toned the resolutions to go on record in favor of the federal suffrage move ment. Miss Harriet May Mills, repre- senting Mrs. Norman De Whitehouse of the state woman's suffrage party asked the committee to support the bill now pending in the legislature which is designed to provide for another suffrage referendum tin 1916. Both requests were refused on the ground that the platform was not in tended to define the party's position on any matters of state policy

The pres ent extensive branch of this large war industry, he added, was entirely the result of American reports. A reso- lutiOn was introduced at the meeting for the reorganization of the British consular service with British-b born consuls. One of the delegates assert ed that during the competition for trade between Great Britain and Ger many preceding the war, A British consuls were Germans.

OPPOSITION TO NEW HAVEN
 CONTROL OF SOUND LINES
Made by Whitfield Tuck on Behalf of
 the Peoples Service League.

Boston, March 1.-Opposition to the petition of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad for permission to continue control of its Sound lines was voiced at the Interstate Com merce Commissions hearing today by Whitfield Tuck of Winchester, a for mer representative in the legislature. He appeared in behalf of the Peoples Servihe League, of which he Is sec- retary and advocated separation of the railroad from it's steamship lines on the ground that it would tend to do away with monopoly.
 The witness questioned the proprie- ty of the appearance yesterday of Chairman Frederick Macleod of the public service commission in favor of railroad control of the properties. Such an attitude, he said, was not to be ex- pected from a man who a few years ago was state chairman of the demo- cratic party which, at it's last na- tionaI convention had declared mo- nopoly 'indenfensible and intolerable." !"

DENIAL THAT ALL BRITISH
 MERCHANT SHIPS ARE ARMED
Made by Sir Edward Grey, Secretary
 for Foreign Affairs.

London, March l, S.14 p. m.-Sir Ed ward Grey, secretary for foreign af- fairs. authorizes for publication the following statement:
 "The assumption apparently made by the German government that all British merchant ships are armed is entirely incorrect. Practically all British merchant ships employed in trade between the United Statesh of America and the United Kingdom have hitherto been unarmed.
 'oThe claim, therefore, made by the German government to sink all their merchant ships at sight because of their armament Is one which cannot possibly be justified. This Is clearly proved by the statement issued last night giving list of British and neu- tral unarmed merchant ships which have been torpedoed by German sub marines without warning"
