prince, taking advantage of the evacua-
tion of ftie Bethlncourt salient by the
French and the occupation of that po-
sition by the Germans, has thrown
several divlaions against the new
French line, but so far has been un-
able to break that line at any point.
The bombardment of the whole front
west of the Meuse Is of increasing in-
tensity on both sides. The Germans,
moving down along the Haucourt-Beth-
Incourt line, attacked the French posi-
tions south of the Forges Brook. Here
they had to face the full fury of the
French guns, which cost them heavy
losses.
The French front along the strategic
sector extending from Le Mort Homme
to Cutnleres remained unmoved and
further attempts to assault were ar-
rested by the French curtain of fire.
The French still hold their positions
In the Cdftlette wood, which has been
the scene of heavy fighting, and
against which German attacks have
been directed dally.
The last remaining mine crater
taken recently by the Germans from
the British at St. Elol has been recap-
tured by King George's men, who also
were able in their attack to establish
themselves In German trenches run-
ning southwest from the crater.
From the JDvlna river to the lower
Strlpa there has been sporadic fight-
ing between the Russians and Ger-
mans.
The Bethlncourt salient, which for
weeks haB projected like a wedge Into
the German lines northwest of Verdun,
has been evacuated by the French.
The evacuation was carried out un-
der cover of darkness and without in-
terference, and the French, through
the move, have been enabled to
straighten out their line, which now
runs from the corner of the Avocouft
wood to the kouth crossing of the
Bethlncourt Esnes and Bethlncourt-
Chattancourt roads.

Washington.—Prophets In congress
aro still busy with long distance fore-
casts concerning the duy of adjourn-
ment. Some of the prophets will be
without honor in Washington and in
the country. The more hopeful ones
declare that it will all be over by in-
dependence day, while the others, less
hopeful, notably Speaker Chump Clark,
say that senate and house will be in
session until summer has been dis-
missed.
There Is n long legislative program
full of items as yet uucaucclcd. The
prepareduess bill framed by the com-
mittee on military affairs has passed
the house, but the senate still Is de-
bating thd Chamberlain measure on its
owu account. The -mate bill provides
for a much greater degree of army
preparedness than does the one fa-
thered by tho representatives, it Is
probable that the senate will stick to
Its own measure and that long sessions
on the '-part of the conferees of the
two houses wjll be necessary before an
agreement can be reached.
The navy 'preparedness bill has not
been passed by either house. The
committee on naval affairs of the
hou: has been discuss.ng sea matters
for weeks.
Senate Favors Big Navy.
In the senate the naval committee is
inclined to favor larger measure of
naval preparedness than Is the case in
the house. Bo it seems likely that the
conferees on naval matters will have
long continued sessions beforo the two
houses will agree upon ilio form which
the legislation shall take.
Not long ago the administration al-
lowed It to become known that it was
In favor of tariff commission legisla-
tion. Bills have boon prepared to meet
the president’s wishes in tills matter
and It is expected that before con-
gress adjourns legal authority will be
given for the establishment of a com
mission with advisory powers, to study
a.i things refuting to the schedules and
to make reports thoreon to congress.

Russia has simmered down to mutual
bombardments and bombarding attacks
by German and Russian aviators. Ar-

by the Germans here was repulsed by
the Russian fire.
