At tho mmo titno Paris gave warning
that tho Germans probably aio prcpar

to presage tho beginning of now Tcu
tonlo drives against Popper Heights
and from tho east against Ports do

Tho German Var Otllco reported ar
tillery actions continuing on tho whole

of lmportanco in tho Verdun district.
Paris reported intermittent bombard
ment of tho French front northwest of
Verdun, but no other actions In tho
Verdun district. Tho French "War Of

tho movement of German troops near
Pont-au-Mousaon, 35 miles southeast of
Vordun, roportlng concentrations of
troops having been dispersed by French
nrtlllery.
Military critics agree that Gcimany
Is now engaged In its supremo effort on
tho western front. Tho causes which
havo led up to it are political as well as
military. Tho best Informed circles
hold that tho following uio tho chief
reasons which led Emperor "William
and his advisers to begin tho offensive
movement which may boon spread from
the North Sea to Switzerland:
First. To offset tho long-heralded
spring drive of tho Allies, for which
preparations have been going on all

Second. Germany's failure to crush
Russia, and establish peaco with that

BERLIN, March 1. French troops
were forced to evacuate the city of
Fresnes, 13 miles southeast of Verdun,
on Tuesday, according to the corre

(This is the first report of the
evacuation of Fresnes. London dis

most invested by the Germans.)
BERLIN, March 1.
A heavy bombardment hus been opened
upon the German positions by the AlJIes

At some points these bombardments

No panic nor teals yet tho result of

"Why didn't the authorities warn U3

Shields tried to get unanimous consent to

$31,000,000 ON CITY DEBT
Mayor Smith this afteinoon announced
that a loan bill would be Introduced In

the city of87.000,000.
Tho announcement followed a three
hours' conference between the Mayor,
Chairman Oaffney, of Councils' Finance
Committee, and tho members of the
Mayor's cabinet.
Of the 87,000,000, the Mayor said that
$35,000,000 was for transit, and J5.000.000
for port development. The sum of $31,
000,000 will bo to cover a list of unfunded
debt as compiled by City Solicitor Con
nelly, and of this sum $10,000,000 will go
to pay for land taken to make room for
the Tarkway.
The remaining $16,000,000 is for cur
rent expenses and other Improvements,
and includes an Item of $3,000,000 for the
Phlladelph a General Hospital, for which
tbeie is a'teady available another mil
lion. The hospital Item will be divided
between Blockley and the Home for the
Indigent Insane and Feeble-minded ut
Byberry.
Seven million dollars will be use.d to
meet tho needs of departments, current
expenses and past bills. This leaves
$6,000,000, the purposes ot which, the
Mayor tad he would not outline today.
They will be for perpianent Improvements
other than those specified.
It had been suggested early In the con
ference that an Item of $3,300,000 for the
elimination of the belt line In South Phil
adelphia might be switched from the un
funded debts to become a churge On the
Wharves, Docks and Ferries Department
for port improvements, but this could not
be done, according to Assistant City So
licitor Hmest Iowengrund, so the idea
was abandoned

PAItlS, March 1.
Gun crows of tho French auxiliary
cruiser La Provence, tho former trans
atlantic liner sunk In tho Mediterranean
last Saturday, remained nt their posts
while tho vessel was Blowly settling, hop
ing to get a shot at tho submarlno that
had torpedoed their vessel, but without
avail.
The Ministry of Marine, while announc
ing today that a submarine had sunk tho
ship, Issued a report lecelved from M.
Iloknnovvskl, a member of tho Chamber
of Deputies now attached to tho general
stuff of tho army of tho Orient, who was
on board La Provence.
"No periscope was seen clthor before
or after tho explosion," said M. Uoknnoskl
In his rcpoit. "Neither was there sighted
any wnko of tho toipedo or Jets of water
at tho moment tho explosion occurred.
"A very tlobo watch wsr kept. Tho
gun crews lemulned at their posts up
until the last moment."
The Ministry stated that La Provence
was being used to transport troops to
Salonlca when It was sunk. Art the ship
was able to carry more than 2200 per
sons. It tvns fcaied today that moro than
1300 of those, on board petlshcd when tho
vessel wns destroyed. Up to noon tho
number of known icscued stood at 870.
La Provence carried 11 guns, tho Min

It was also announced by the ministry
that tho voyage of the French htewnshlp

Tho steamer was uble, after a long flight,

that the Japancso naval authorities havo
received official advices that three niltlsh
steamships, one French and ono Swedish
steamship were sunk by Get man sub
marines In tho Mediterranean on Febru
ary 23 and, 2 1. The officials think that
this indicates an Increased number of
submarines operating In tho Mediter
ranean. A dispatch from Stockholm stated that
tho Swedish steamship Toborg has been
sunk In the Mediterranean by an Aus
trian submarine. Her owners weio noti
fied today that the crow took to boats,

900 STETSON WORKERS
STRIKE; ALLEGE UNION
MAN WAS DISMISSED
First Walkout Since 1892 Stirs
Bis Plant When Soft Hat
Finishers Quit Jobs Say
Wages Decline
700 MORE MAY FOLLOW
The first Ml Ike at tho John B. Htetson
plant since 1892 was called this morning
by men In the soft hat finishing depart
ment, according to the men About '100
went out on strike Seven hundred are
still working but the Btrikers expect them
to follow.
Ninety per cent, of the men striking are
stockholders of the Stetson company, hav
ing gotten fatock bonuses in years past.
The reason for the strike, the nun say,
was the discharge of one of the woikers
In that department Ho Is lllwaH Vp
Peak, of 2110 North 2d street McPeak
when he was paid off Monday night, .as
told not to return.
Strikers say the teasoii he was dis
charged was because he was tiylng to
"organize" tho workers Stetson's is a
non-union shop and McPeak had hold two
organizing meetings.
Strikers say this is the compelling iea
son for the strike, though they have other
grievances.
For one thing, they bay, over since Stet
son's put in their own gas plant, there has
been considerable slcknes. Then, they say,
the men are gradually being reduced from
the $3 a dozen system of payment to the
$1.75.
Union men, they say. earn about $28 a
week or at least a minimum of $22 doing
the same work they do, while their uver
uge wage is ubout $18. Some years ago,
they bay, It was from $22 to $25.
The strike was called ut 10 a, m. The
men had been working some time, und bud
denly the news spread through the depart
ment that McPeak vyus ua longer one of
them. By some Strang coincidence they
quit In the big group of 900, and one out
side marched from 1th vtraet and Mont
gomery avenue, where Building No. 21 of
the plant is. up Front btreet and over Ken
sington avenue to Cumberland ' xtreet
where a meeting was. held and McPeak
was sent for.
Thre was some grim humor among the
strikers vvbn it was recalled that their

era had been the champion tetun of thu
