GIGANTIC OFFENSIVE DIRECTED
AT TEUTONIC POSITIONS NEAR
DEAD MAN'S HILL.
International News Service.
LONDON, March 19.—The French today
renewed their offensive north of Verdun,
directing strong attack? against the posi-
tions held by the Germans in the sector
of Dead Man's Hill. The Berlin army head-
quarters' report, while admitting that the
iuitjative has passed into the hands of the
defenders, states thut all their attacks were
"stopped in their initial stages."
It is in this fightimr that no less than
27 French divisions, 540,000 men, are said
by the Germans to be engaged. The mid-
night French communique., reports a gen
cr 1 slackening of the artillery 1'ire in thi*
region later in the day and states that the
Germans attempted no attacks.
On the opposite I'Mik of the Meuse spir-
ited fighting for minor positions is men-
tioned in the German statement, the battle
still being in progress at the moment of
writing. Later Paris reports tell of at
lacks by Germans on the Vaux-Damloup
front, which weie repulsed by the French
barrier lire.
A swift German attack in the Vermel lies
region has resulted in a loss of some
ground by the British, according to the
Berlin report. Strong artillery fire and
five mine explosions destroyed trenches
captured by the British on March 2, all
the occupants except 30, who were taken
prisoners, being buried, in the wrecked
positions.
General activity alone the whole front,
mostly of ttit- artillery and engineering
firms, is reported by both lierlln and Paris,
the Germans claiming a gain in the Thlan-
ville torest north of Uadouviller in Lor-
raine, where the French were ejected from
a field house.
During the last 24 hours airmen hav,
been extremely active over the entire front
four French machines have been shot
down, according to the Berlin report Three
German aeroplanes were also brought to
the ground.
Several successful raids 011 Germr.11 rail
heads and concentration points are also
reported.

BUCHAREST, March 10.—Roumanian

Hopes of Gernianophiles that Roumania
f IIid maintain a friendly neutrality have
.ifer to the ground since M. Carp returned
f-oni Vienna. The concessions he obtained
from the central powers in return for
1:011 mania's neutrality were considered un-
satisfactory.
On the other hand, the visit of M. Flli-
pescu. lender of the Unionists, to the. Rus-
sian front, has a close connection with the
future attitude of Roumania.

CONVENTION OF JOURNALISM
SCHOOL OF UNIVERSITY
OPENS TODAY.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN', Tex., March 10.—"Newspaper
Week," the first ever held In Texas, pro-
jected by the school of journalism of the
University of Texas, headed by Will 11
train that comes into the city, and from "P*" tomorrow, and newspaper
men and women from all over Lexas are
all outward indications Houston is enter-
ing on one of the biggest convention weeks
in its history.
Despite the fact that the convention of
the Cattle Kaisers Association of Texas
will not open until Tuesday morning, ses-
sions of the executive committee of the
association are scheduled for Monday, and
as a result riany of the more prominent
men of the association are in Houston al-
ready.
Secretary E. B, Spiller and Assistant Sec-
retary A. C. Williams of the association,
both of Fort Worth, arrived in Houston
early Sunday and opened headquarters of
the association at the liice Hotel.
The official convention headquarters are
scheduled to open in the lobby of the lUco
Hotel on Monday morning. Assistant Sec-
retary Williams will be in charge on Mon-
day and will take care of the registration
of delegates to the convention.
O11 behalf of the city of Houston, head-
quarters for the convention were opened
several days ago In the lobby of the liice
Hotel by C. J. Kirk, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee appointed by Mayor
Ben Campbell, and assisted by a large force
from the entertainment and reception com-
mittee he will welcome the visitors.
The delegation of cattlemen which reach-
ed Houston 011 Sunday was unusually
large, but officials in charge of the con-
vention state that it is but the forerun-
ner of the far larger crowds of cattlemen
which should reach the city on Monday
and Tuesday.
Outward evidences of the convention
spirit in Houston are found in the deco-
rations which have been put up all over
the downtown section. The plan of the
committee which had charge of this work
was to trim Main Street from McKinney
Avenue to the viaduct and Texas Avenue
from Main Street to the Auditorium with
flags and bunting.
They have been assisted by the mer-
chants of the city, many of whom have
staged novel displays for the benefit of
the cattlemen.
The program of the convention visitors
for Monday calls for a session of the ex-
ecutive committee of the association, at
which time plans for expediting the work
of the convention will be considered.
The business sessions of the convention,
all of which will be held in the City An
ditorium, are scheduled to open Tuesday
morning, when J. 1). Jackson of Alpine
calls the convention to order at 10 o'clock.
The program on Tuesday includes ad-
dresses by Mayor Ben Campbell and Gov-
ernor .Tames E. Ferguson, and responses
on behalf of the cattlemen, and when these
formalities or' opening of the convention
have been gone through time will be set
aside for the appointment of committees
for the convention and the annual reports
of the officials of the association.

HOUSTON, Tex., March 19.—-Andrew
Drumm, president of a commission house
of Kansas City, was one of the early ar-
rivals for the cattlemen's convention. Mr.
Drumni has been in the cattle business for
a number of years, a large shure of his
activities having been in Texas.
"The conditions In the live stock and
cattle market are very bright, with good
prices prevailing," lie said. "I find that
in Texas, especially, the conditions are
excellent, with the banks full of money, a
really remarkable condition for this State,
as it has always been difficult for the
cattlemen to secure loans In Texas."
Mr. Drumm is a believer in prepared-
ness. "However, while my views meet the
President's I am not a Wilson man," he
said. "1 think Teddy Is all right."
Regarding the Mexican situation, Mr.
Drumm expressed the opinion that some-
thing should have been done long ago.

"To the People of Texas: I tender pro

be no Congressmen at Large; in which
event I Intended to retire aud bo gtateii

"Having been a pioneer In the great
reform movements which resulted in the
election of a militant National Democracy
with Woodrow Wilson at the head, feel

had led for years had rounded out with
triumphant vindication and I could retire
from the strife and turmoil peculiar to
such public positions.
"When the Legislature failed to carve

for re-election until 1 had considered
the question from all angles. I am now
