A FIGHT FOR LOSS OF DIXIE.

Washington, March 1.-Represen-
tatives Heflin of Alabama and Clark
of Florida, engaged in a heated clash
on the floor of the house today with
Minority Leader Mann and Represen-
tative Stafford, of Wisconsin, over a
bill which passed the house, to re-
store the right of court of claims to
consider the reimbursement of south
erners for property seized by Union
troops during the war between the
states. The claims in question ag-
gregate five hundred thousand dol
lars. In reply to Mann's assertion
that 1--WE don't owe one cent to the
men who endeavored to destroy our
government" Heflin declared that
"nobody but a coward and a vul-
garian would use such language
here"
'I don't believe there is another
man on that side of the house at this
time who, in light of history, would
make such a charge and slander
against my people," he said.
Clark, in answer to Stafford's as
sertion that "the bill is entering
wedge to pay claims to those who
were disloyal," spoke of the South's
response to country's call during the
Spanish war, and added: 'If, unhap-
PLY, we should have trouble now, l
apprehend that the defense of the
flag will come more unanimously
from our section than from that part
where the hyphenated citizens dwells
and controls"
He declared the bill was no loot
of the government, but was arrange
ment for court to decide whether the
debt is just.

PARIS, HOWEVER, ALSO RE-
CORDS REPULsE OF ATTACK
FROM CAPTURED POSITION

Further advances by the Germans
in the Verdun region and in Cham.
payne are told of in the latest French
official communication which, how
ever, also records successes in re-
pelling German attempt to deboucll
further from a captured position, the
driving of the Teutons out Of q
trench they had taken and the ham.
mering with the. French big guns OF
German organizations. .'
After having vigorously shelled
the region between Bethincourt and
the Meuse, the Germans in a strong
infantry attack captured the village
of Forges, about nine miles north
west of Verdun. Not satisfied with
the gain, they several times essayed
to, debouch from the village against
the Cote de I'Oie, but the French in
counterattacks forced them back
into the village and held them there.
In the Argonne the French blew up
near Courtes Chaussees a German
post with a mine, and captured. a
portion of the crater. Near Hautet
Chavauchee, the Germans sprang
two mines and later entered the
French trenches at several points.
Counterattacks, however, drove them
out and the French also occupied a
portion of the mine crater.
The Germans, while reporting com.
parative quiet to the east of the
Meuse, announce the capture OF
about thousand French soldiers in
minor actions Saturday and Sunday.
The Russians, under cover Of the
fire Of their fleet, at last have been
able to make landing on the Black
sea coast to the east of Trebizond,
capturing the towns of Atina and
Maprava and driving off the Turks
who opposed them. Two officers and
280 men were taken prisoners and
two guns and quantity of munitions
were captured. 49,. O.,
Considerable fighting between the
Russians and the Germans has taken
place in northwest Russia, the Rus
sian artillery smashing German
trenches in the Riga sector and dis
persing scouting parties in the vicin-
ity Of Friedrichstadt.
Owing to heavy rains and ava
lanches, fighting has almost ceased
on the Austro-Italian front.
Berlin reports that in the Zeppelin
raid over England Sunday night the
Hull naval depot was bombed with
effect. All the German aircraft re-
turned safely.
A British official report says that

TILLMAN EMPHATIC.

Washington, Feb. 29.-Senator
Tillman, chairman of the senate

what he thought of the movement in
congress to warn Americans off arm

"All I've got to say" said the SEN
ator, sis that anybody who butts. in
on the president when he's handling
foreign relations is a confounded
fool. You can make it as strong as
you like. The president up to date
has handled these matters wisely and
patriotically and he ought not to be

MRS. WHITE DUCKS PARTY.

You know" commenced Daddy.
that Mrs. White Duck gave Dinner
Party the other evening. All of the
Fairies were especially invited and
of course all the really Fashionable
Ducks from the Duck Ponds far and
near.
Some of the Ducks lived several
miles away down Stream and they
thought they were very very fine to
live little off by themselves. They
talked about giving their Children. so
much more air and were quite snob-
bish about their end of the Stream
But, still, they did enjoy a good, So
ciable Dinner Party where there was
plenty Of Food and plenty Of Talking
or Quacking.
The Dinner Table was made of
Pond Lily Leaves fastened together
by Stream Moss. And all the Ducks
and Fairies had wonderful Stools
made of Lily Pads. Then on the table,
in addition to all the good things to
eat, Mrs. White Duck had some Wild
Cherry blossoms for decorations. Ii
was such festive looking Table, and
If the truth be told, Mrs. White Duck
was quite right to be so proud of it.
The Dinner started on time and l
must tell you what they had. In the
first place they started with Soup
made of Pussy Willow Blossoms and
then they had Bread Crumbs which
Mrs. White Duck had received that
day as a gift from lovely little girl
who lived near the Pond and who was
a great Friend of Mrs. White Duck.
