TEUTONS HAMMER
AWAY At VEROUN
GERMANS DELIVERING ATTACK
AFTER ATTACK AGAINST The
FRENCH DEFENDERS,
French Have Evacuated Village ~
Vaux and Lose Thousand Yards Of
Trenches Between Maiancourt
and lie Morte Homme.

London.-The Germans are still car
ryipg on strong offensive operations
northwest OF Verdun. About four and
one-half miles northeast of the fort
ress they penetrated the Caillette
wood outside Fort Douaumont after a
violent bombardment.
From part OF this wood the French
in an immediate counterattack drove
back the invaders.
Another powerful attack was deliv-
cred against that portion of the Avo-
court wood held by the French, but
the latter's barrier fire and machine
guns held the Germans without gain.
The French now have entirely evac-
uated the village of Vaux and have
drawn their line south of the town,
but in its immediate outskirts. Berlin
says that northeast of Haucourt, be-
tween Malancour and LIE Morte
Homme, the Germans have entirely
cleared the French from about 1000
yards of trenches, where they had re-
manned since the German victory on
this sector March 80.
On the other sectors about Verdun
there have been only intermittent
bombardments; artillery duels have
characterized the fighting along the
remainder of the front.
Aircraft have been very active
around Verdun. The French brought
down three German machines, but
Berlin asserts that the aerial com
bats have resulted in their favor.
Both sides have been busily engaged
in dropping bombs on military estab-
lishments at various points.
Greater activity than usual has been
displayed in the fighting between the
Germans and Russians in the region
of Baranovichi, southwest of Minsk
Elsewhere on the Russian front the
situation is unchanged

The completed figures of rail-
road earnings in 1915 further
emphasize the contention that
this barometer Of prosperity has
been chiefly affected in the eastern
territory where war orders have
produced temporary activity in
business. The railroads in this
section almost doubled their net
earnings per mile over the income
ofthe year previous, namely from
$3O7 to 5000. while in the West
the increase was only from $187
to $217.

TAGGART A LOAD To
DEMOCRATIC PARTY,

Washington, April 5. The new
Senator from Indiana announces
that he intends, "in his humble
way, to stand by the President
The President however, regards
the announcement with mixed
emotions. 1t is well known here
that Senator Taggart, despite
his high position in Democratic
councils, has never been a "tair.
haired boy" at the White House.
whose doors he has darkened lust
twice IN the more than three wears
that Mr.. WilsonshasFbeen there.
Taggart was not Wilson man
at Baltimore and Wilson hasnot
been a Taggart man in Indiana
Consequently, the Senator's de.
claration OF iealty to the admin.
lstration is regarded her. as a
part OF the bunk" which Demo,
cratic politicians are handing out
very prolusely just now. in the
hope that the remaining months
OF the Wilson regime may bring
to them some of the few loayes
which have not yet been distrib-
uted.
Certainly Senator Taggart has
no illusions as to the political
future. He knows very we'll that
his state and the country are
going Republican next Novem-
Der. He knows. too, that Wilson
VIII be fenominated and that it
VIII not do to take open issue
with him-not on his own account
but on account of the party.
Thus, while MIR. Taggart's pub
lic utterances will probably con-
linue 10 harmonize with what he
has just said, 1t is also altogether
likely that his remarks in the
cloak room and other private
places will be on a level with
those OF most Democratic leaders
lIere-namely, they will speak of
Wilson as Bryan did. with a God
bless you in the reverse English.
Taggart's entrance to the SEN
ate also serves to show the
Democratic subserviency to the
bosses of the party. Taggart
has ruled the Democracy of Indi-
ana with an iron hand. He is of
that type of leader whom Wood.
TOW Wilson is supposed to abhor
but whom he has to do business
because they csn undo him.
Taggart as boss at home was
no small load tor the Dem ocrat,c
party; and Taggart in the Senate
is no lighter burden. His ap.
pointment will help neither at
home nor else W here.
