Dover.-The steamship Maloja, a

AWFUL SLAUGHTER
IN VEROUN BATTLE
FRENCH MAINTAIN POSITIONS
AND HURL BACK ATTACK
AFTER ATTACK.
Half Million Men Engage In sanguIn-
ary Drive, While Both Sides Are
Sending Reinforcements, Hop
ing to Turn Tide of Battle.

London.-In the great battle cen.
tering around Verdun in which half a
million men are engaged, Champneu
vile, to the west, and the fortified
works of Hardaumont, to the east OF
Fort Donaumont have been captured
by the Germans.
Berlin also claims to have captured
the Cote de Talou, to the west OF
Donaumont, but, according to the
French official statement, the artil.
lery fire coming from both sides has
rendered this position untenable for
either French or Germans.
The French are hurting attack
after attack upon the Donaumont po
sitions held by the Germans, who are
declared to be maintaining them
selves there with difficulty, but in the
Woevre region, to the east of Verdun
the French advanced posts have been
withdrawn.
Large reinforcements are being
brought up, probably by both forces
and 1t is reported that the British
lines are being extended in Belgium
and France in order that French
troops may be released for the Yer
dun battle. The fighting there has
settled down to terrific slaughter y
according to advices received from
the battle front. Approximately
twenty army divisions have been
thrown into the battle by the Ger.
mans, while the French troops mum.
Der fifteen divisions, the messages
say.
The French are now steadily driv.
ing the enemy past Donaumont, de-
spite his spasmodic rallies" says a
cable message from France received
at Ottawa Ont, by General Sir Sam
Hughes, minister of militia. In view
OF the fact that the message said
nothing of regaining or holding Fort
Donaumont, General Hughes is Of the
opinion that the fortification has been
reduced to ruins by shellfre.
Five determined attempts made by
French troops to recapture from the
Germans Fort De Donaumont, one OF
the outlying Verdun Notifications
were repulsed Sunday with sanguin-
ary losses, according to the German
headquarters staff.

Foreign Trade
Combinations
Being Arranged.

Washington, March / Amer
ican producers and manufactures
are deeply interested in the move
ment on foot among the warning
nations of Europe to control
trade after the close of the war.
There has already been much dis
cussion OF the preparations on
foot IN England. A recent devel-
opment was the unanimous a.
doption OF a resolution by the
Chamber OF Commerce of Vienna
proposing an economic union of
Austria and Germany to render
them more independent of their
political and commercial oppon.
ents in regard to the supply OF
toodstuffs, raw materials. and
industrial products. and enable
them to defend with grea ter ener
gy their commercial interests in
the world market.
The character of treaty pro-
viding for such union is thus
outlined: 1t should provide for
the longest possible term OF dur.
alton. The contracting nations,
are to regulate their commercial
policy according to unified plan
and will act as a unit in the
negotiation of commercial treat
les with other countries. In
order to make this possible.
says the resolution, "the two
governments must first come to
an agreement as to the customs
tariff which is to be used AS a
basis for negotiations. This will
be accomplished most successfully
by the adoption of common
tariff system.
The resolution gives expression
to the belief that mutual support
should make it possible for the
two nations to bring all their
economic powers to full develop
ment, increasing the consuming
power of the population, lower
the cost of production, specialize
industry, and WIN for themselves
an increasing share in Internal
lonalcommerce. 1T is especially
desirable that the monarchy and
the German Empire shall favor
each other in tariff matters to
the greatest extent compatible
with due regard for the protec.
ton OF home industries, allowing
for differences in the conditions
OF production. Through careful
reconciliation of these differences
the necessity for such protection
(that is, between the two con-
tracing powers) must gradually
be lessened and. whenever possi.

Sox and Tigers. Carrigan still has
that wonderful pitching staff and his
team may shake from its batting
slump on the coming trip.
The White Sox have four pitchers
in winning form, the team is putting
up fine defense, but the hitting in
pinches has not been prominent.
Plain bingles have been frequent and
Iusty, and some day these pokes will
be punched for lots of runs.
Detroit now looks like thee team
the locals must beat to win the pen
nant Jennings is showing a fine at
tack against good pitching, even the
st. Louis staff falling before the on
rush of the Tigers. This attack is
something to be expected from De-
troit team, but our real hurdle is the
pitching Jennings has uncovered in
the last ten days. CoVeleskie is the
second pitcher in the league, rated
on effectiveness. Now Bill James
has rounded into form and he
has grown better with every re-
cent game. For some time the uIti-
mate resting place of the Tigers has
hinged on this fellows arm. Mitchell
is also right and .Dauss and Dubuc
can divide the work for the. fourth
day.
And indication of the handicap
Jennings has been UP against is in
the pitching averages of the Ameri-
can league, out today. Coveleskie is
second to Tex Russell. Then the
next Tiger pitcher is Cunningham in
3Sth place, and he isn't a regular.
Dubuc is 10th. With such pitching
the team must be some combination
in other departments to be in second
place, contending with two clubs
that boast as good pitching as any
teams in baseball. -,

likely the Braves will have any bet
ter luck against the easy western
teams than the other fasteners.
Brooklyn and the Phils have few
more games together and it is in this
series that the pennant will be de-
cided.
Pres. Weeghman is het up about
the Indifferent showing his Cubs
have been making and asserts that
if the club doesn't try to play better
ball there will be no city series, even
if the White Sox are nosed out in the
American league.
: The local president says, and right
ly, that the athletes are paid for
playing ball and should give their
best efforts or be denied a chance at "
the soft pickup in the fall. He also
says that some of the fat contract
boys will find themselves considera-
bly, reduced next year when their
agreements expire if they do not
perk up
And Weeghman is justified. A
baIlplayer is paid for playing ball and
he should be doing it every minute
he is<oh the field. There is no ex-
cuse for a, player not running out
any kind of a hit, no matter how far
his team is behind. There is no ex-
cuse for down-hearted, lead-headed
ball, even if a team is out of the race.
Tn city series will be played if tho
Sox fail to win, but Weghman is
right in letting the players know he
isn't asleep and won't stand foG
Iackadaisical stuff.
Cubs will be home tomorrow for
one game with Pittsburgh and then
start east.
Braves made four double plays in
second game with Brooklyn.
Fewer than'a dozen fans paid in to
the Mack-Yank game yesterday
Rain made it doubtful if the game
would be played. 80
