Battle Rages in West
on Twenty-Five
Mile Front.
GERMANS GAIN
TWO MILE LINE
Action FOreSeen by the
French, Who Bring Up
All Available Guns.

London, Feb. 23.-The battle of
Verdun. now well under way, is seen
with each succeeding report re-
ceived here to be growing in intens-
ity. 1t extends over a twenty-five
mile front to the north of Neld dun,
and seven German army corps. 2SO,-
900 men. under Crown Prince Fred
erick William are engaged. This
announcement was made officially by
the Paris War Office tonight. 70
capture the great fortress Of YER
dun is probably the immediate Ger
man object.
The principal fighting centres IN
the rough and thickly wooded
country between Etain and Dam
villers. Here the German Crown
Princes best infantry are trying to
wrest from the French important
roads which would enable them TO
make their way through to the
Meuse
Military opinion here is inclined
tc doubt that the Germans will at
tempt to carry Verdun by Storm
Besides the formidable works of the
fortress. it is further protected by
field army under command of
General Humbert, an exceptionally
energetic officer. The prevailing
view is that the Germans are feel
ing the strength Of the defenceS,
and that the resistance they meet
with may discourage them from
proceeding to try to take the
citadel by force.
German Attack Foreseen.
The German preparations were
extensive, and the bombardment OF
the French positions with thousands
of shells was uninterrupted. As the
French had foreseen this battle, all
their available guns were called into
action and responded in kind to the
heavy shelling of the Germans.
"In the region to the north OF Yer
dun" says the French official state
ment issued tonight, "the German at
tack, as was foreseen, developed into
very important action, for which pow
erful preparations were made.
"Thc battle continued to-day with
increasing intensity and was energeti-
cally withstood by our troops. who IN
ficted extremely heavy losses on the
enemy. The bombardment with shells
OF heavy calibre was uninterrupted,
and our artillery responded with equal
violence. It extended along a front OF
nearly forty kilometres twenty-five
miles) from Malancourt as far as the
region opposite Etaln.
Attacks Succeed and Fail.
THE actions Of the German infantry
were carried out by very heavy ehec-
tives. comprising troops of seven diff
ferent army corps. who followed each
other duri4g the course of the day be
tween Brabant-sur-M Meuse and Ormes.
"At the approach to the village of
Haumont the enemy was not able, not
withstanding his efforts. to dislodge Us
from our positions. In the Bois des
Caures, Of which we hold the greater
part. our counter attacks stopped the
enemy's offensive.

The Premier declared that Mr.. Snow

The real gst Of Mr.. SnoNd den's

contention that genuine desire for
peace existed in Germany. As evi-

Terms Are Unshakable.

What is there wanting in clearness
and directness IN that? ask Mr..
Trevelyan and the German Chancellor
how can make it fuller and more in

not until a peace based upon these
foundations is within sight of attain
ment, and not until then. shall We or
any of our allies abatc by one Jot our

For more than an hour the Prime
Minister had SAT. seemingly paying lit
tie attention 20 the speeches of Mr.
Snowden and Mr. Trevelyan. He was
stretched out in his seat on the front
bench and appeared 10 be dreaming.
Occasionally he aroused himself long

Premier Asquith seemed 20 be fired

Premier said he would not like il 10 60

any substantial body Of public opinion.
He even doubted whether they spoke

tainly, he declared. they did not speak

The Premier welcomed Mr.. Snowden's 3
admission that the country was at one

manding that the conditions of peace
should be such as 10 secure the per

During the debate that followed
this report. Bishop Hendricks. of
the Methodist Episcopal church
south, was seated on the platform
and closely followed every move
made.
Following the presentation of the
report on federation by Chairman
John Goucher of Baltimore, a dozen
delegates jumped to their feet try
ing to attract the attention of the
presiding bishop, but cries of vote,
Voter from all sides drowned out
those seeking recognition. The chair
then ordered a vote which was un-

church, f. r. Hendricks, then spoke
few words declaring that the
church south was just as eager for
consolidation as was the northern
brethren.
Although the conference recon-
mitted at yesterdays session the re-
port of the committee on Episcopacy,
because il recommended seven bish-
ops and many of the delegates de-

the committee presented practically
the same finding again today. Only
one change was made and that asked
that an additional missionary bishop
be stationed az Singapore, Malaysia.

ACTION DEPENDS
UPON CARRANZA
Cabinet Goes Over SCOTS Re.
port But Announces No
Change in Policy.


WASHINGTON. May 16. - After
going over the entire Mexican sit
uation-including full reports on
the Scott-Obregon conference.-the
cabinet today adjourned without any
definite action being decided on. 1t
was officially announced following
the meeting that there would be no
change at present in the policy that
is now being followed.
Officials made it clear that the
future course of this government
would hinge altogether upon the &C
ton of the de facto government OF
Mexico. The forces of the United
States viii be maintained in Mexico
at their present bases. Sec'y of War
Baker indicated that Ger. Pershing
has not abandoned the hunt for
Villa. but on the contrary is send
ing scouting parties out continually
for traces OF the bandit lie will
continue 10 co so. Sec'y Baker says.
Members Of the cabinet believe
that Carranza's forces will cooperate
actively with Gen. Pershing's troops
as the result of the Scott Obregon
conference. Whether they do or not
it was made plain this afternoon
that the United States troops will
not be withdrawn. 1t was indicated
that extensive plans have been made
by officials Of the war department
to deal with any situation that may
arise. If the Carranza forces should
attack United States troops at any
place Gen. Pershing Will know how
to proceed at once.
1t was stated that the cabinet did
not take up the matter of replying
formally to Carranza's request that
the American forces be Withdrawn.
Officials indicated that this matter
will be allowed to rest. 1t is not
believed that Carranza will press his
demands at this time.
