GAIN OF 5000 YARDS
BY BRITISH FORCE

London, March % (8:12 p. m).-
Summarizing the progress of the
British forces in the last twenty-four
hours the Reuter- correspondent at
British headquarters in France men,
tons the capture of the villages of
Guyencourt and Villers-Fa and
says:
Taking the line between Longa-
venes and Equancourt as represent
ing our progress on Tuesday morn
ing, this means that We pushed for
ward some 5000 yards. This does not
mean, however, an advance of the
whole British line. In the present
phase there is no continuous front
line, but rather succession of posts
and patrols, all in touch with each
other, but varying their positions from
time to time as opportunity offers for
pushing on.
''Equancourt was captured by
single squadron of cavalry. Its garri-
son continued to fire until the front
rank of our horsemen, in wide open
order with lances lowered, were with
in 700 yards of its outskirts. The
Germans then bolted, flinging away
their arms and all encumbrances.
"A similar stampede occurred at
Longaveness. But in Villers- Faucon
the enemy made stand Lierlemont
was entered without opposition"

London, March 2S G1:25 p. M
After an interesting debate today the
house of commons by a majority of
279 expressed approval of legisla

ference recommendations for fran

against such a measure represented
not the actual opponents of reform
but rather members who were desir-

Opposition Slight.
A small party in the commons ex-

numbers were too small to carry great

that they would support Mr.. Asquith's

HUSTING SAYS WEST

Washington, March Ex-senator
Husting of Wisconsin, who conferred
with President Wilson today, said he
believed Germany already is making
war on the United States and that
congress should recognize this fact as
soon as it meets. Armed neutrality,
the senator added, has not stopped
Germany's ruthless submarine war;
fare and the only question for con-
gress to determine Is whether to de-
clare war on Germany or say that a
state of war exists.
Senator Husting, just in from the
west, said he believed the people
there are ready to stand solidly be-
hind President Wilson. He found
sentiment general that Germany has
shown utter disregard of American
rights.

ssaa~.ih--~-sss



Washington, March 2S.-The Amer
lean government has no knowledge of
any development likely to change the
present situation between the United
States and Germany before congress
convenes.
If Germany contemplates any sort
of peace or has considered abandon
ing submarine ruthlessness, or if any
other nation has step in mind de.
signed to alter the present interna-
tional status, the government is with
out information on the subject,
Except for information concerning
German plots against American in
terests, it was learned today, the pub
lie, in a general way, knows as much
as the government about everything
directly affecting the present crisis.
Concerning German intrigues in this
and other countries, the government
has much information which 1t has
not thought it wise to make public.
President Wilson today continued
conferences with his advisers prepar-
atory to writing the address he will
deliver to congress next week.
Administrations Concern.
The administration Is said to be
chiefly concerned at present with the
form of action to be taken by con"
gress recognizing that Germany Is
making war on the United States, and
with preparedness measures. Aggres.
sive steps, while being carefully con-
upon as questions for determination
after congress has defined the status
of the nation.
Whether suggestions that huge
loan or gift of money to one or more
or the entente allies should be adopt
ed, whether an army should be sent
abroad, and whether increased sup
plies of munitions should be forward
ed are generally regarded as questions
which only confuse the issue If press
ed to decision now.
The preponderance of opinion still
is that congress will adopt a resolu-
ton declaring that a state of war
exists.
Several Conferences Held.
The president conferred during the
day with Col. r. M. House and with
Senator Husting of Wisconsin. Sec
retaries Lansing, Daniels and Baker
met to discuss activities common to
their departments and at the depart
ment of labor there was a conference
to lay plans for the mobilization of
labor. Secretary Daniels, Attorney
General Gregory and Secretary Me-
Adoo paid brief visits to the White
House.
On leaving the White House Sena-
tor Husting said his personal opinion
was that Germany Is making war on
the United States and that the United
States should recognize that fact. He
added that he believed the people of
the west were ready to support the
president fully.

over the prize ship Appam to Floyi
Hughes, representing the British At
rican Steamship Navigation company,
owners of the vessel prior to her cap

The court ordered that $590,000,

give effect to the recommendation of
the conference. The bill will embody
all of the recommendation except
proportional representation and WON
ems suffrage. These will be omitted
first, because the government is still
undecided on the question. and, sec
ond, because it is held that parlia-
ment must first of all express accept
ance of the principle of woman's suf-
frage.
To Have Record Opinion.
The present idea is TO make the
bill as little contentious as possible,
so that the second reading may be
easily secured; then, in committee,
these two excepted questions may be
raised as amendments to the bill, thus
giving the house an opportunity to
record its opinion.
It cannot be doubted that the view
expressed today by Mr.. Asauith,
Walter Hume Long and other promi-
nent former opponents of women's
suffrage will influence many others
opposing it. During the war this op-
position has been a rapidly dwindlng
one. It still is possible that the wom-
en- may have to wait until after the
war for the fullest recognition of their
claims, but the vote for womep IN
some shape now is certain The new
bill will not be introduced until some
considerable time after Eester as the
budget and other urgent business
claim priority.

Germans Make Gains.
In Champagne, the Germans after
O. violent bombardment, attacked Cen
eral Nivelles troops west of Maisons
de Champagne and penetrated ele-
ments or the French first line
trenches. Sanguinary losses were in
flicted on the Germans, however, dur
ing unsuccessful efforts to capture the
village of Maisons de Champagne,
says Paris.
An early spring thaw on the Rus
sian front, from the Baltic sea to the
Carpathians, has rendered impossible
Tor the present any attack in force
by the Germans. This seemingly puts
at naught, temporarily at least, the
reported intentions of the Germans to
attempt to force their way toward
Petrograd. Minor operations are in
progress, however.
Teutons Gain in Rtmania.
In Rumania, in the Uzul valley re-
gion, the Germans captured a strong
ly entrenched ridge and held it de-
spite numerous Russian counter-at-
tacks, according to Berlin. One hun
dred prisoners, and machine guns and
mine throwers, fell into the hands of
the Germans.
Bombardments are in progress along
the entire Austro-Italian front.
An attack by the Teutonic allies
west of Monastir was put down by
