London, March 14.-Except for ar
tillery action the fighting in the Ver-
dun region virtually has ceased for the
moment. To the north and east of the
fortress there has been no infantry en-
gagements since Saturday afternoon
when the Germans succeeded in enter
ing small French trench to the
north of Elk.
On both sides OF the Meuse from the
northwest of Verdur along the entire
front to the southeast of the fortress
the artillery Of both sides has con-
tinued the tremendous shelling that
has been in progress for days.

The Germans claim to have cap
tured in the fighting around Verdun
thus far 26,472 unwounded French sok
diers and men and 189 guns and 231
machine guns.
To the south of the Somme river in
the Argonne forest and in the Ban-de-
Sapt sector of the Vosges, the French
guns have heavily bombarded German
entrenchments.

Despite the unfavorable weather

also are intensely bombarding the

PosALs FROM COLONEL HOUSE
ACCORDING TO RUMOR IN
WASHINGTON.
SPOILS FOR GREECE;
NOTHING FOR ENGLAND.
Alleged Teuton View Of Proper Settle
ment Following End Of War, Pro-
vides for No lndemnities-
Would Return Belgian and
French Territory.

Washington, d. c., March 14.-Pres-
ident Wilson, it is understood on good
authority, has in hand, without any
definite use to make of them, the
peace terms that are likely to be
heard from Berlin If the crown prince
takes Verdun.
e. M. House. shortly after his re-
turn from Germany 1T is said, laid
before the President Germany's ten
tative proposals as modified by re-
cent months of warfare. Colonel
House did not go to Berlin to discuss
possible peace terms, but it is said he
did receive an outline of the German
view Of a proper settlement follow
ing the end of the war.
Terms Germany Would Consider.
The terms Germany would consider,
confirmed by high German authority
here, provide:
That German colonies taken by the
Entente Allies be returned to Ger
many.
That no indemnities be demanded
Dy either size.
That Montenegro, Serbia and Alba
MIA be divided between Austria, Bull
garia and Greece.
That an autonomous government be
established in Poland.
That Turkey be entirely freed OF
British influences.
That Germany return Belgium and
those portions of French territory now
in possession of the kaiser's army.
That Russia assume possession Of
Persia.
British to Receive Nothing.
That England remain as she now
is, neither giving nor receiving any
thing.
A high German official said that
both sides Ought to pretty thorough
ly understand by now that there could
be no demands for indemnities," and
as for Germany's retaining Belgium,
he added: There Is no longer any
thought Of 1t by the German govern
ment"
Regarding other terms of peace, it
fe the belief of the German govern
ment, according to reports said to
have been made to President Wilson,
that the only way to establish order in
the Balkans is to distribute the land
Inhabited by the Albanians, Montene-
grins and Serbians between Austria,
Bulgaria and Greece.

Rotterdam, March 14.-There is lit

val battle of history is impending in
the North sea between the augmented
German fleet and the British navy.
Widely circulated reports that the
so war craft Of the Teuton nation had
put back to their base are generally
discredited in the face of repeated dis
patches from points along the coast
that the squadron has been sighted by
small vessels.
It Is said that the largest part Of

WOMAN FARM EXPERT

Down in Georgia the department
Of agriculture has found a young wom-
an who knows more about scientific
farming than most men know, and
who also knows how to impart her
knowledge. Therefore the department
has appointed her a farm demonstrator
in the South, and she is now engaged
in showing the young men and women
Of that part of the country how to
make farming profitable and pleasant.
Miss Hoyl Skinner-for that is her
name-believes she can do much to
check the migration of young people
from the country to the city. One
Of her specialties is poultry raising,
and she thinks this industry can be
largely developed in the South. She
also knows a lot about canning, and
hopes to teach it to the boys il they
can be induced to abandon the idea
that it is too feminine an occupation.
With attractiveness and energy added
to her knowledge and skill, Miss Skin

Louis A. Coolidge, chairman Of
the welfare department of the Ma
tional Civic federation, is a scholar
and writer Of ripe attainments as well
as a man of large business interests.
After several years as Washington

to become treasurer of the United
Shoe Machinery company, a position
he still holds.
Welfare work, according to Mr..
Coolidge. whose experience entities
