LULL ALONG VERDUN LINE.
French Guns Shatter Teuton Trenches
in Le PetreWoods,
Declares.
Paris Report
The Germans are preparing to at
tack the Frenca lines in a new posi
tion, Paris believes.
The French official statement says
that there are signs of German prepa-
ration behind the front west cf P.nt
a-Mousson, eighteen miles south west
of Metz, and in the Moselle river re
gion. The French guns have been
pounding the second and third line
German positions here, and succeeded
in shattering the German trenches, it
is declared, while an intermittent
bombardment has been going on at
various points between Regnievii.e
and Remenauville, some half dozen
miles west of Pont-a-Mougson.
The lull which gave signs of setting
in now extends along virtually the en-
tire front where the desperate strug
gles of the past week and more have
been going on. There were no im-
portant developments at any point,
the French war office reports.
Unofficial commentators in entente
capitals admit themselves at a loss tc
determine as yet whether the German
drive has spent its force or whethel
the pause is simply the prelude to its
renewal before the hard-won positions
at Verdun or elsewhere on the front
A bulletin from Berlin confirms the
French account of infantry inactivity
along the front, the Verdun opera’
tions not being mentioned in the offi
cial statement. It is announced, how
ever, that the artillery, particularly
that of the allies, was notably active
in various sections of the front, the
region between the Meuse and the
Moselle, the Champagne and Yser re
gion being particularly mentioned.
Apparently the recent German at:
tack in the Champagne was nothing
more than one of the ‘numerous local |
operations such as the Germans car
ried out in several sectors of the front
from time to time in the three weeks |
preceding the Verdun offensive, as it
has not so far been followed up. Des:
patches indicate opinions of military
observers that the German offensive
if it broadened appreciably, would be
more likely to spread to the south,
than the north, the many signs of ac-
tivity along the lines in upper Alsace
and down to the Swiss border being
pointed to in this connection. |
Paris despatches declare the situa,
tion north of Verdun satisfactory to
the French, who have strongly forti:
fied their positions from Cote du Poi
vre, four miles due north, to Douau-
mont, three miles to the east, along
which line the German pressure above!
Verdun has been heaviest. At Douau-
mont itself several hundred Germans,
are reported still cut off in the fort,
which the French have surrounded.’

Kills Mad Dog That Bit Him.
Bitten on the arm by a mad dog,
Sherman Culver, son of Samuel Cul-

the rabid animal had been at several
neighboring farms and bitten dogs

Armed Italian Liner Cleared.
The Italian steamship Napoli, which
reached New York several days ago

used only for defensive purpose.
President Wilson
May Not Run Again.
Agitation of Act to Warn Americans
Off Belligerent Vessels Embarrasses
Negotiations With Germany.
President Wilson is reported to have
told the men who have acted as aumin:
istration leaders in congiess that un
less congress supported his policy in
the controversy with Germany ovel
merchant ships armed for defense by
voting down resclutions to warn
Americans from traveling on such
vessels, he will refuse to accept a
renomination for the presidency.
The notice was served at a confer
ence of the leaders in the White
House. According .to a recent an
nouncement, German and Austrian
submarines are to attack armed ene
my merchant ships without warning.
The leaders, according to White
House announcement, promised that
the president’s wishes should be ob:
served. Notwithstanding this, within
‘two hours after they had left the ex:
ecutive mansion there was apparent a
tendency by the leaders of the house
to avoid compliance with the presi
dent’s wishes by offering as a substi
tute for the action which he had re
quested a resolution simply endorsing
the president’s direction of interna.
tional affairs.
The views of the leaders developed
to be so much in conflict with those
which the president outlined at his
conference, and which they are said
to have pledged themselves to observe
that it was proposed to appoint a joint
committee to go to Mr. Wilson and
ask him for an official statement of
what he wants congress to do. Speak-
er Clark acvised the foreign affairs
committee of the house to recommend
a joint resolution to this effect.
Many members of congress express
ed themselves as being as strongly
convinced as ever that the warning
resolutions which were introduced last
week should be passed, as a step
necessary to prevent this nation being
involved in war.
The leaders are inclined to believe
that President Wilson will be endors-
ed by the house and by the senate, if
the margin in the house is not large
enough to avert the necessity of rais-
ing the question in the senate. They
say further that they believe the pres-
ident means, after getting such an en-
dorsement to follow out his recently
declared policy with regard to Ger-
many’s evasions, to its logical con-
clusion, which means a break in dip-
lomatic relations.
Information regarding the presi-
dent’s attitude toward a re-nomina-
tion was given privately by persons
who attended the conference at the
‘White House.
At this meeting the president told
the leaders that while -dissentions in
congress over the questions of warn-
ing Americans off armed ships are be-
ing made “industrious use of in for-
eign capitals,” and being pictured as
evidence that the country dces not
support the president in his stand for
the observance of the laws cf nations
and humanity, his negotiations with
Germany are embarrased, and, in fact,
cannot be continued.
It was learned the president told
his visitors that confidential advices
from Berlin showed the Teutonic pow-
ers looked upon the Unitel States
more in the character of a “big mass
meeting” rather than a closely welded
nation. In consequence, the president
said, it was growing increasingly hard
to obtain even ordinary consideration
for the demands of this government.
The president believed all this could
be changed if one of the resolutions
pending: either in the house or senate
could be voted down by an overwhelm-
ing vote. Such action, he said, almost
certainly would be followed by the
eutonic powers, accepting the view
of the United States on the applica-
tion of international law to submarine
warfare, and would end the grave situ-
ation between this country and Ger-
many.
German Air Raid Killed Baby.
A German seaplane raided the
southeast coast of England, accord-
ing to a war office statement issued
n London. A nine-months-old child
was killed. The statement asserts
that no military damage was done
| though the raider “dropped several
| bombs.” It is believed in some quar-
‘ters the visit was the forerunner of
' other raids.
BOOKS, MAGAZINES, Etc.
There never was a time in this country’s his-
tory when a broad outlook upon the progress of
events of national and international importance
was so essential to everybody who wants to keep |
posted as the present. The European war is not
only remaking the maps of at least three con-
tinents, but its influence is shaping political,
commercial and economic conditions in the |
United States. It is not the function of the best
of local newspapers to trace in detail the progress
of these changes. That is the task of the big
city daily, with its unlimited facilities of news
gathering in every corner of the world—and there
is no newspaper better fitted for it than the
Philadelphia Record.
The Philadelphia Record, daily and Sunday,
ought to be in every home. Itis clean, compre-
hensive, fair and fearless. It prints all the news
without sensationalism; rides no hobbies and
grinds nobody’s axes; its columns cover every
field of human interest and present all the facts
worth knowing about current events in concise,
readable and attractive form. Its daily cartoon
by DeMar is appreciated—-and copied—all over
the country. Its sporting pageis authoritative.
Farmers swear by its market reports. The
Record was the first newspaper in Philadelphia to
establish a department for women readers—and
that department has led in its field ever since.
The Sunday issue of the Philadelphia Record,
with its big fiction magazine bound in a separate
colored cover, its colored comic section, its
domestic science and fashion pages, its prize
contests and its special feature departments, suc-
cessfully aims to add to the superlative of the
daily wholesome and informative reading and
entertainment for every member of the family,
including the juveniles.
Daily and Sunday, the Philadelphia Record
follows the war, on the battlefields, abroad and
in the provinces of diplomacy, legislation and
industry at home, with expert understanding
and tireless energy. Its services in the news
field alone make it as indispensable in the home
as it is on the exchange desk of its contem-
poraries.
