After having vigzorously shelled the region between Bethincourt and the Meuse, the Germans in a strong in- fantry attack capiured the village of Forges, about nine miles northwest of Verdun. Not satisfied with the gain, they several times essayed to debouch from the village against the Cote de TOle, but the French in counter-at- tacks forced them back to the village and held them there. In Champagne the right and left flanks of the French were attacked by the Germans in the region between Mont Tetu and Maisons de Champagne. At the former point the French fire kept the Germans to their trenches, but near Maisons de Champagne they suc- ceeded in occupying a small section of a French trench. French Blow Up German Post. In the Argonne the French blew up near Courtes Chausses a German post with a mine and captured a portion of the crater.

London, March 7, 142 a. m—The three German air raiders caused 45 casualties Sunday night, according to reports received up to midnight. The three Zeppelins separated on their ar- rival on the English coast and they wandered about over eight counties, but virtually all the demage was done in_one Yorkshire town. Reports from other parts of the raid- ed territory speak of the Zeppelins re- malining stationary at comparatively low altitudes. All three of them seem- ed to have lost their bearings owing to the bad weather conditions. At a town on the southern coast a Zeppelin was observed hastening home- ward with its nose down, as if disabled severely. The German official report says that all the raiders returned safely. Sunday’s raid proved two things to the British public—first, that snow- storms are no hindrance to the Ger- ma nalreraft, and second that the pub lic warnings which are given in ad- vance to most of the districts visited do not lead to panic, but probably less- en the casualties. The snow was fall- ing heavily when the raiders arrived, Dbut some experts believe that they flew mbove the snow clouds during the greater part of their visit. One airship passed over the county of Cambridgeshire a half hour after midnight, but no hombs were dropped. A correspondent in Kent telegraphs that only one air: ed the Kent- 1sh coast, apnroaching direct from the Bea. The nilot. curate idea of for only three hombs were dropped. All the bombs fell in a marsh. ANNUAL MEETING CONN. COUNCIL OF CRGANISTS.

Washington, March 6—On the eve of what friends of the administration have planned as the final fight to end agitation in the house over the ques- tion of armed merchant ships, debate on the subject broke out in the house late today and continued hotly for more than an hour. When it was over there seemed to be more of a partisan alignment than at any time since the issue arose. Representative Mann of Tllinois, the republican leader, and Representative Lenroot of Wiseonsin, republican member of the rules committee, gave notice that they would oppose tomor- row the rule under which it is pro- posed to table the McLemore warning resolution after ninety minutes of de- bate on the rule and four hours’ dis- cussion of the resolution itself. On the other hand, Chairman Flood of the foreign affairs committee, who has been understood previously to fa- vor = warning resolution, voiced an appeal to all patriotic congressmen to stand by the president. Realizing the task ahead of them, the administration whips sent out calls to all absent democrats within reach to hurry to Washington in time for the vote tomorrow. The president’s supporters believe that a large ma- jority of democrats as well as many republicans will stand tozether to put through tke rule and kill the McLe- more resolution. There will be for- midable opposition both in and out of the party, however, and the influence of Willlamn Jennings Bryan is being taken into account to be dealt with. CLERGYMAN PROTESTS BRANDEIS’ NOMINATION Because of Statements Made When He Represented Brewers’ Association. Washington, March 6.—Rev. James Cannon, Jr., of Virginia, chairman of the legislative committee of the Ant Saloon league of America, protested against confirmation of Louis D. Bran- deis’ nomination to the supreme court today before the senate investigatin committee, because of statements ma: by Mr. Brandeis in 1891, when he wa counsel for the Protective Liquor Dealers’ association and the New En lang Brewers' association, before the Massachusetts legislaturi Senator Chilton suggested that this incident occurred 25 years ago and that there was quite a difference be- tween the public attitude toward the nd today. Dr. Cannon insisted, however, that Mr. Brandels’ public utterances had failed to ehow any change in his position. He sald the objection was not based so much on the fact that Mr. Brandels appeared for the licuor interests and opposed pending legislation as on the sweeping statement he made about the liquor traffic in his arzuments. Par- ticnlar attention was directed to cer- tain _quoted statements, one of them to the effect that liquor dealing was not wrong. Dr. Cannon submitted photographic copies of the records of the Massachu- setts legislative committee. including an argument by Mr. Brandeis. STREET TRAFFIC SERIOUSLY INTERRUPTED BY STORM. Steamship Movements Were Also Im- peded Around New York. New York, March 6.—Steamship | movements and street traffic here were seriously interrupted today by a heavy enowstorm.
