Corbeaux wood, in which the Germans succeeded in establishing themselves, is within a holinw between Dead Man and Goose Hills. and as neither position is endangered the German success is of little strategic import. It is known here that the Germans et aside 300,000 men to capture Ver- dun. Only 200,000 having been em- ployed up to yesterday, it was a ques- tion whether the remaining 100,000 would be used to make 2 sudden de- | scent on some other part of the | French line in developing the offen- | sive against the fortress. The heavy | attack west of the river, however, leaves that question no longer to be settled. Y Climax Tomorrow or Friday. The impression of members of par- liament who are Kept regularly in- formed as to the progress of the bat- tle, is that the defense will be akle to resist all onslaughts the Germans may make and that Goose Hill, on the left pank, will play a role similar to Dou- aumont on the right. It is expected the battle will reach its climax to- | morrow or Friday. Not until then will it be possible to judge which way the battle will go. Second Attack on Larger Scale. Paris, March 8, 30 a. m.—The | Battle of Verdun developed both in in- tensity and in extent all day yester- Yay and is now raging along the line from Cheppy in the Argonne to Fresnes in the Woevre, showing that the second attack for the stronghold is to be made on a larger scale than the first. So far, according to the reports received here the Germans, by em- ploying masses of men without count- ing cost, obtained some slight gains to the west of the Meuse and in the Woevre, where they carried Fresnes after a fierce struggle. Desperate Fighting on River Bank. Desperate fighting is again going on on the left bank of the river. Follow- ing up the advantage of yesterday, the Germans, going around the foot of the | slope which served them as a mask, followed the railroad and entered Regnieville. From there they launched figteen thousand men against Hill No. 285, to the east of Cote De L'Oie, and carried it. Thus they control the loop of the Meuse within which Regnie- ville is located. The French withdrew their right from within the loop and it new rests on the Meuse above Cum- jeres. This witadrawal from an ad- vaced position on the left bank be- | me necessary, according to the mi itary experts, in order to maintain alignment with the positions on the left bank and it would have been diffi- cult to hold the advanced point which | the Germans could at the same time attack in front and on the flank. Germans Gain At Heavy Cost. Having thus obtained command of | the slopes leading to the principai French positions which run from Bethincourt to Cote De L'Oie by the northeastern spur to LeMort Homme and the woods of Corbeaux and Cum- feres, the Germans without losing a | moment's time hurled masses of in- | fantry against these positions. They | gained a footing in the Corbeaux wood put clsewhere their attacks were re- pulsed with heavy losses. tgict centers at present the chief in- terest of the battle and the supreme effort of the German troops is awaited the French with confidence. as in tne strength of their de- fensive pyeparations. The jion of Fresnes is considered as of nly secondary importance, since the ition was an advanced one and not orth the incurring of heavy ces to defend.

Waterbury, March 8—In the crim- | inal branch of the district court to- day, Attorney Harry J. Beardsley of this city, as counsel for Morris Bell, an alleged labor agitator, objected to the appearance in the case of Wil- . Thoms, as special counsel for Scovill Mfg. Co., the concern Bell is charged with advising its emploves to smash the machinery goods. Bell denies that he ad- vised any such thing, but was con- victed in the city court. Mr. Thoms asked for an adjourn- ment, and in the heat of the argu- ment stated that the practices Bell is alleged to have advised have since been carried out by certain of the employes, and that in addition to that “A plant of dynamite” was discover- ed in the’ plant yesterday. It has since developed that the dynamite found consisted of one stick, and was located in one of the casting shops in a barrel of salt used as flux. Judge Reeves, against the objec- tion of Bell's attorney adjourned the trial to Saturday. Mr. Thoms claimed with other matters t? g0 on with the trial, and that time should be given the state to se- cure more information and data con- cerning the accused young man. Bell is being prosecuted under the breach of peace statute. liam DYNAMITERS BLAMED FOR NIAGARA OUTRAGE Chemical Plant Has Serics of Explosions and Fires Follow. Niagara Falls, N.

Cravath, manager of the company, issued a formal state- ment today to the effect that the plant had been ‘“bombed.” “I am,” he sald, “convinced the ex- plosion in our plait was the result of outside agencies. Careful investiga- tion has shown us the first explosion was not such as would have occurred had chemicals stored in our buildings let go. “I believe a bomb with only a small amount of explosive was set off just inside the peroxidal plant, the slight explosion that followed giving most of the employes a chance to escape. | The second explosion was also caused by a bomb, but those that followed were those of the stores of chemicals in the plant.” 3 Dr. Carvath has asked the police to make every effort to find the dyna- miters. FHe was making an inspec- tion of the plant when today’s explos sion occurred. No one was injured. In the initial explosion last night one man was killed and another badly in- jured.
