In all these zones the losses have been large, while the changes in position have been relatively unimpor- tant. Northwest of Verdun, in the sector of Avoncourt-Malancourt, the Ger- mans, after a terrific battle, drove a vicious infantry attack in which liquid fire was employed against the French front. A fresh German division brought up from a remote point participated in the operation. The French, however, with their curtain of fire, aided by machine guns and infantry, put down the attack with heavy casualties to the assaulting forces, except in the eastern part of the Malancourt wood, some ten miles from Verdun, where the Germans made slight progress. Berlin reports the repulse, also with heavy losses, of the French who at- tacked the village of Vaux, northeast of Verdun. Elsewhere around the fortress there have been oniy intermit- tent bombardments and a continuation of fights in the air between French and German aviators. Although Berlin claims that the i W. J.

Lincoln, Neb., March 20.—William Jennings Bryan here tonight opened the campaign in Nebraska, speaking in favor of a state prohibition amend- ment. Mayor Charles W. Bryan, of Lincoln, brother of the former secre- tary of state, is a candidate for a democratic nomination for governor A dispute between Mr. Bryan and John G. Maher, a local politician, in which the lie was passed to Mr. Bryan in a hotel lobby, enlivened the informal mectings previous to to- night's gathering. The dispute arose over a question of Mr. Maher as to whether one of the speakers from the east, who was on tonight’s programme, was getiing paid for his services. Mr. Bryan re- marked that Mr. Maher’s motive was mercenary. This provoked the retort that Mr. Maher followed it with other charges. NEWLY CONSTRUCTED HAT FACTORY AT DANBURY BURNED Yotal Loss About $30,000—One Hun- dred Persons Thrown Out of Work. March 20.—The e hat factory in North practically destroyed by fire late tonight.

To escape detection, tha captain arranged to cross the Atlantic in his wife's cabin trunk. He re- mained in the trunk during the day time, breathing through a venti- lator inserted over the name plate, and emerged from the trunk during the night. None of the passengers suspected the ruse, although it was noticed that exceptionally layge meals were sent to Frau Roewer’s cabin. At Kirk- wall the captain left the trunk, fear- ing he would be detected when inspec- tors searched the luggage, and he was caught in the packing room. He was interned, but his wife was per- mitted to proceed, reaching Copen- hagen vesterday. 1,332 DEER REPORTED KILLED IN CONNECTICUT. Game Commissioner Believes Twice as Many Have Been Slaughtered. Hartford, Conn., March 20.—“It is simply shocking to see the condi- tion in which wounded deer are found throughout the state.” said Superin- tendent John H. Crampton of the fish and game commission today in refer- ring to the slaughter of the animal in Connecticut, The superintendent held in his hand the report of deer killed since the law went into er- fect. The number was 1,332. It is believed that twice as many more have been killed but not reported. Ac- cording to counties it Is as follows Hartford county 244, New Haven 134, New London 175, Fairfield 106, Windham 148, Litchfield 297, Middle- sex 125, and Tolland 98. Superintendent Crampton sald the condition of the Iobster industry was causing some alarm. There was a falling off last year in the supply of lobsters taken from the New England coast. of about 885000 pounds. He said it had been suggested to hold a convention of those interested in the industry in New England to see what could be dome to save it from des- truction and it was quite possible the convention would be held shortly. INFORMATION BUREAU FOR PRISONERS OF WAR Established By Turkey at Instance of the American Consulate. London, March 20—Turkey has es- tablished a prisoners of war informa- tion bureau under the red cresent at the result of urgent representations by the American consulate in‘London, | which has received several thousand | requests from relativ of British | prisoners held by the Turks. Unable to get action through the usual diplomatic channels the con- sulate appealed to the Red Crescent with the result that the names of British prisoners known to the Turks are now supplied and mailed and de- livered to them. No nam:s of prisoners taken in Me- sopotamia _are as vet available. Turkey is the last nation to es- tablish such a_bureau, which is pro- vided for by The Hague convention. APPOINTED REFERENCE LIBRARIAN AT YALE. Prof. Andrew Keogh Succeeds the Late Prof. John C. Schwab. New Haven, Conn., March 20.—Prof. Andrew Keogh, reference librarian at Yale since 1904, was appointed Uni- versity Librarian to succeed the late| Professor John C.

The president has approved its gen- eral outline, but stands uncommitted as to details. of the regular army. Defeated Proposals to Increase. Three times during the day the house defeated* proposals to increase the peace strength of the regulars, fixed by the Hay bill at 140,000, ex- if war is imminent. The debate cen- tered upon the Kahn amendment to fix the authorized peace strength at 220,000, but the first vote was on a Fuller, republican, of Illinois, to make it 250,000, The Fuller substitute was lost with- out a division. The Kahn amendment was voted down, 183 to 103, after ap- peals for a larger standing army had been made by Representative Mann, republican leader, and other influen- tial members of the minority. Only two democrats supported the Kahn amendment in debate and less |eryone to stop work. There reason for the strike. The strikers, after a secret meeting In the city hall, refused to make public any statement of their attitude. Real Cause Not Made Public. In the absence of official statements, a number of rumors are in circulation, the most common report being that the strikers quit work because one of their leaders was dismissed today by tfe superintendent. Another report was that the men were preparing to pre- sent demands on the company during the week. It was reported that the principal demand was for a 30 per cent. increase in wages, but this could not be verified. Majority of Workers Not Organized. There was practically no disorder incident to the walkout. It Is eald that some of the women employes were considerably frightened when the word ‘was passed through the rooms for ev- a ma- chinists’ union at the factory, but the majority of workers are not be- gTe: {lieved to be organized. Many of the employes are foreigners. Meeting Behind Barricaded Doors. After the walkout about 600 of the strikers entered the city hall, barricad- ed the doors, and refused to allow anyone to be present. . The meeting was a short one and those present de- clined to discuss what happened. The streets were quiet tonight and there were no outward signs of the than a dozen voted for it. About 40 republicans voted against it. Representative Crago, republican, of the military committee, proposed to fix the strength at 200,000, but wa voted down by a substantial mafority. One-third of Measure Approved. With this outstanding feature dis- posed of, consideration of the remain- der of the bill went forward rapidly. About one-third of the measure had been reviewed and approved when ad- journment for the day came. The na- tional guard, industrial reserve and nitrate plant sections are among those still to be considered. Final Measure Must Be in Conference. The final measure must be written in conference, as the senate and house proposals differ radically.” Should the senate committee work out a combina- tion of its own measure with the house national guard, industrial reserve and nitrate plant proposals of the Hay bill will be retained, while the senate’s figures of 178,000 peace strength for the regular army will be inserted with the senate plan for creation of a third force of federal volunteers. The house bill contains an authorization for sum- mer training camps, while the senate bill proposes the establishment of a force of 261,000 federal volunteers grouped by congressional districts.
