commission has4asked for the nation

floor of the senate that congress re-
main in session until such additional
steps are taken to bring the food
prices back to normal. He said:

German assault started on Verdun
Today the French army occupies al
most precisely the same territory as
on Feb. 81, 1916. Within the last
year, Verdun has sounded the death
note of German hopes of capture. Sew
en- hundred thousand of her sons have
gone to death in vain efforts to real

first time in history, defenders of the
besieged fortress have withstood the
maximum efforts of their assailants

themselves and are now practically on

pear before congress prior to adjourn.
ment, March 4, to ask for additional
authority to protect American sea-
men and ships against the German
submarine menace.
,Whila officials said today there was

out the plan, there was every indica-

either late this week or early next
week. @ sfAW
Asks Authority. y = :.
The presidents position as outlined
authoritatively today was that CON
gress before adjourning should pass
a broad resolution giving him add,
tional authority. He. has definitely
decided what he will say to congress.
but that has not been made public.
Officials generally expect that sooner
or later arms will be furnished to
American ships.
In spite of the statement Of the
British government that a very small
percentage of ships going to and from
the war zone were sunk by German
submarines officials pointed out today
that most American vessels in trans.
atlantic trade were still held up.
Not Declaration Of War.
1t was emphasized today that when
the president appears before con-
gress he will not do so for the pur.
pose of asking for a declaration OF
war. While it is realized that the pac-
ifist element in congress has some
strength. the president is known to be.
lieve that the situation is such that
when action is needed there will be
little division.
The president has decidid not to
call an extra session Of congress un-
less there should be an unusual
emergency, and it was generally &C
cepted today that he will not call the
senate in special session Efter March

Sand, Heat and Flies Are Foes
OF Soldiers In Mesopotamia

MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. B.
ce)-Hardships and dis
comforts of the British campaigns in
Palestine and Mesopotamia are the
themes Of many letters written by Au-
stralian soldiers serving under the
commands Of General Sir Archibald
Murray in Palestine or Major General
Maude in Mesopotamia.
IF you want to see middle you
ought to see a camel convoy under
vicinity Of GAIA in southern Pales-
tine.
The natives who lead the camels
run away at the first shot and then
the white men try to induce, by all
the profanity they can muster, those
camels to hurry out Of range or under
the cover Of hill. All the time good
lives are being lost trying to save the
convoy, which perhaps has the water
supply for thousands of men in the
firing line"
Three Worst Plaques.
Dust, heat and flies are the three
worst plaques Of Mesopotamia from
the soldiers standpoint, writes one Of
the privates who suffered from them
ITO you," he adds, ''the flies would
be quite inconceivable. They settle
in great clusters on everything. Some
of them can sting and bite severely.
With the coming Of nightfall the or
binary flies disappear and the mos
quitoes and sand-flies take their
places.
THE sand fly is an insidious plague

advancing forces. These snipers were
eventually dealt with and the she'll
holes cleared The morale Of the Ger
man troops in this section is said to
have been good and they made stiff
fight for the positions which they fin
ally had to relinquish.
In the ruined village Of Hollebeke
the British were faced with large num-
bers Of concrete dugouts which had no
surface entrances but which were ap-
preached by tunnels. The attacking
troops forced their way into these
strongholds which contained large
numbers of men and blew them to
pieces with bombs. This underground
tunnel is still filled with German bod
les.
Carried With Bayonet.
Just north of Hollebeke, two strong
ly held German positions were occu-
pied without a stop. On the ground
overlooking Wytschaete, the British
encountered shell holes, camauflaged
with wire netting ard hedges which
had been interlaced with barbed wire.
This delayed their progress somewhat
but did not save the Germans. Fierce
fighting occurred here and the Austral-
ians who were conducting the offens-
i've carried the positions with bayonets,
killing large numbers Of the enemy.
One notable incident Of the days
fighting occurred on the Warenton-
Gapard farm road at windmill on a
slight elevation. The place previously
had been bitterly contested because it
overlooks the surrounding country
which is very flat. The Australians
took the place in the early morning
but the Germans regained it the same
night.
At midnight the Australians charged
the position with bayonets and elected
the Germans after sanguinary fight
ing. LaBassee Vile was also the
scene of severe fighting and here, as
at Hollebeke were found concrete dug
outs which are now filled with their
dead defenders who were bombed.
