petition to Fix Priees-Says Pack

Washington. April 6.-Deniai that
that cattle buyers Of Chicago packers
are in agreement was made by ]. r.
Brown. editor OF live stock paper.
before the house commission looking
to a packing house inquiry. Lack of
competition among the buyers Is
claimed TO be one of the chief causes
of loss to pnoducers.
There usually Is more than one bid
on a batch OF live stock said Brown.
-Of course there are instances of. bad
markets where a man may not get a
single bid. but those are exceptions"
Brown also disputed the charge that
buyers entered the yard in a body.
Many times, he said, he had seen one
buyer abroad in the yards bidding be-
fore other buyers appeared. The bids
often vary. he declared. but he said
that often there was unnecessary de-
lay in starting bidding in the morn
ing.
The purpose OF Browns appearance
was to deny an allegation that the
packers control trade journals. Brown
explained that he was one of the two
men who supply estimates for ticker
service on the Chicago markets.

Throwing huge masses of men
into action the German crown
prince has renewed his drive
against Verdun from the north
west, attacking two salients in the
Avocourt- rt-Bethincourt front and
succeeding in penetrating the
French center. Paris admits that
the Germans secured a footing in
Haucourt, but declares it is held
by the fire from French guns.
Meanwhile the French were on
of the scene of the main action.
They rallied from the Avocourt
redoubt and carried an operation
from the redoubt for another
French work on the edge of the
wood to the north, occupying a
large section Of the area known
as the Square Woods
A desperate all night struggle
around Verdun resulted in sub
stantial gains for the French
north of Ayoncourt, west Of the
Meuse according to today's Paris
bulletin, while east Of that stream
German attacks on French posi-
tions were repulsed.
At one point on the Avoncourt-
Bethincourt line, however, it is ad-
mitted that the Germans succeed
ed in penetrating French lines.
The sinking of a German sub
marine by French and British
warships is reported.
The steamer Zent has been tor
pedoed without warning, according
to a Queenstown dispatch. Two
men were killed. and forty-eight
others probably drowned.

: Relief FOR BRITISH.
Defeat Of Turkish Forces in Mesopo-
tan1ia Reported.

London, April GA victory for the
British over the Turks on the Tigris,
below Kut-el-Amara, has been re-
ported by General Lake. in command OF
the British forces there.
The Turkish entrenched position at
Umm- ell Henna was attacked and car
ried at o'clock yesterday morning by
the Tigris corps General Lake tele-
graphed, and the operations are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.
Relief For Besieeed British.
The capture Of Umm- ell Henna.
which is on the Tigris, about twenty
miles down stream from kut-el-
Amara, is the most important news
from this theater in some time and is
regarded here as giving promise OF the
early relief of General Townshend's
force, which has been besieged In
Kut-el- -Amara since the first week In
December.
Umm el-Henna is a strong position
at an important bend Of the river, and
Is said to be the last serious barrier to
the relief Of General Townshend, altho
two or three less strong positions are
still to be overcome before Kut-el-
Amara is reached.
Subject of Criticism.
Next to the Dardanelles expedition,
the operations in Mesopotamia have
been q subject on which the govern
ment has been more criticized than
any Other. not only on account of the
breakdown in the hospital arrange
ments but on the question of RESPONSE
Ibility for the advance, with insufficl-
ent forces, toward Bagdad.
AS in the case OF. the Dardanehes,
the critics accused the ministers at
home of insisting on the expedition
against the advice Of the military au-
thorfties in India and on the spot.
e. This accusation, however, met with
an unqualified contradiction by Austen
Chamberlain, secretary for India, in the
house Of commons yesterday. Mr..
Chamberlain declared that the advance
on Bagdad was undertaken on the ad-
vice Of the commander -in-chief in
MesOpotamia. HE <&5<

Washington, April 6.-The third great
element of the national preparedness
program was today brought into the
house. 1t is the largest Notifications
bill ever reported and the first of four
annual measures under which it Is pro-
posed to spend approximately 100000
600 for increasing and undermining the
coast defenses. already officially de-
clared to be superior to any in the
world. to supply an ample store of re-
serve ammunition for the guns.
Included in the bill are provisions for
mounting sixteen inch direct fire rifles
to guard New York, Boston. San Fran
cisco and other cities from long range
naval BON bardment Provision is also
made for mounting twelve-inch rifles
now in reserve, so they will have
range of more than 10000 yards. or fif-
teen sea miles. No ship could live
within that distance Of the guns.
Committee Accepts Plans.
The plans will add sixteen n-inch NOR
tar batteries to the present twelve-inc
emplacements. In addition it provides
for sixteen inch mobile howtizers and
fourteen-inch guns on railroad cars to
defend points not protected by cstab-
lished forts.
In a,oroving the bill the committee
accepted almost without alienation the
proposals of the war department and
the officers who have studied defenses
for years.
The bill carries appropriations OF

Army Bill Fight Closing.
The fight over the federal volunteer
plan Of the army reorganization bill
was drawing to a close when the
senate resumed work today with ad-
vocates of the provisions trying hard to
save it and opponents seeking tc elm
mate it.
Next Move Up to Berlin.
With the entire marine situation
hinging on Germany's attitude in re-
gard to the Sussex, officials today
awaited response from Berlin to Am
, bassador Gerard's inquiries.
Accumulation of evidence that Ger
man submarines were responsible for
the Sussex and other disasters is un-
derStOOd to have convinced officials
that 1t is up to the Berlin government
to demonstrate the value OF promises
given the United States.
Col. E. M House, who investigated
the submarine and other issues abroad
for the president, came to the White
House again today. He conferred this
afternoon with President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing.

IOLLWEG'S SPEECH
REACHES PUBLIC
Germans Interested Especially in
Peace Declarations and Plans Re-

Future Of New Nation.

Berlin, April 6.-Two statements in

the attention Of the punllc, the first be-
ing that In which he alluded to subma-
rine warfare and the relations OF Ger
second IN relation OF SGermanys peace
time of the possibility Of withdrawing
from Belgium. which, however, he said,
must be new Belgium"
This is interpreted as an affirmation
that Germany would not evacuate the
country without receiving necessary
guarantees about it's future and that the
"New Belgium would make provision
for the Flemish portion Of the king
dom, a hint of the nature of which is
regarded as being given by the chan
cellor's use Of the word "Netherland-
ish." He spoke Of the necessity of as
inhabitants" the privilege Of develop
ing their "Netherlandish language and
characteristics" -. ~ -

chancellor had expressed, the Overseas
News Agency says. Herr Ebert said
that Germany's enemies, and especially
the socialists in enemy countries, de-
clined peace and asked for the annihila-
ton Of Germany, and that therefore it
was the duty Of Germans to stand
firmly by their country.
With regard to the question Of annex
alton. Herr Ebert pointed out that Ger
many could not give back the freed
Polish and other provinces to the reac-
tionary Russian yoke and that this is
to be understood in the light Of the
chancellor's declaration that Germany
does not want to crush other nations. -
