Collapse of the. Turkish campaign I.i
Imminent, according to dispatches from
various sourcc.-i. Tho Turks aro tired
of the war and the Sholk-til-lslam, head
of the church of Mahomet, has threat

Tho military situation of tho Moslems,

concern. Tho Ocrman-oftlrcrcd Turkish
armies In Armenia, Mesopotamia and
Persia aro in soro straits. Tho victories
of Grand Duko Nicholas continue. On
all fronts In Asia Minor tho Turk is at
bay. Slav warships arc aiding In tho
drlvo upon tho Sultan's big Black Sea
port of Trebizond. Tho land forces lmvo
taken Atina and Maprava, less than 100

Tho British relief column marching

Definite Information of trustworthy
character to the effect that tho Kick
bone of tho Ottoman defense against
tho Russians has been broken lias
roached Washington, coupled with tho
' ascrtlon that developments of a start
ling character may bo expected soon In
tho Near Eastern situation. It is inti
mated hero also that Russia has al
ready boon approached on behalf of the
Turks for a separato peace. Overtures
In this direction can hardly be expected
to bo accepted by the Russians at this
time, not so mucli because the Turks
aro not yet ready to glvo Russia what
she wants most from Turkey, an outlet
to tho Mediterranean, but because Rus
sia has entered Into a compact with
tho other Entente Allies not to sign a.
separate peace.

PARIS. March 7.
Tho following communication was Is
sued by the War Office last night :
"West of Hio Meuse, after a violent
bombardment which lasted tho whole
mornliiB on tho front between Bethincoirrt
and the Meuse, the Germans launched a
strong attack URalnst ForRes, situated on
our advanced line. In tho course of a
very lively strusBlo they succeeded In
taking possession of tho vlllase. Several
attompts to debouch on Cote do l'Olo
(Gooso IIIII) were checked by our counter
attacks, which drove the enemy back into
Forges.
IWhllo thcro has been a heavy
artillery battle on the west bank of
tho Meuse ever slnco the Germans
begun their drlvo on Verdun three
weeks ngo, this Is the first Infantry
IlKhtlnp of any Importance. Tho Gor
man lino here had been virtually
stationary for more than a year, run
ning from the river about n mllo to
the north of Forces and then, with a
slight southerly dip, westward to the
Forest of Argotine, 20 miles away.
Forges Is about a mllo west of the
Meuse and Bethlncourt, about two
miles southwest of Forges. The
Forses-Dethlncourt lino. If prolonged
to the east side of the Meuso. would
run through Samogiieux nnd Ornes.
where some of the heaviest fighting of
tho first week of the Battle of Verdun
occurred, and would pass about three
miles north of tho Hnudremont-Dou-numont
line, where tho French nre

Forges is six miles northwest of Ver

Intermittent artillery action. In the
Woevro an Intense bombardment has oc.
currcd In the region of Fresnes, hut was
not followed by any Infantry attack. West
of Pont-a-Mousson our artillery caused

"In Cliampagno the Germans delivered

of Malsons de Champagne, he succeeded
In penetrating a small advanced section.
"In the Argonne we exploded In the

"Between Haute Chavauchee and mil

GRAHAM STANDS BV WILSON.
Emphatically declaring that he Intends
to uphold President Wilson In tho present
crisis. Representative George S. Graham,
of Philadelphia, wns the next speaker.
"The simple uuestlon betoio us now,"
said Mr. Graham. "Is whether or not wo
will attend to tho business that belongs
to us and allow the President to attend
to his."
The House broke In tumultuous ap
plause. In opening his remarks, Representative
Graham said :
"I rise reluctantly to speak on this sub
ject, but do so because of a sense of duly.
I wish tho real Issue to bo clearly out
lined. "A great deal has been said about
war. If this resolution Is passed : about
tho status of merchant ships if they aro
armed. I want to say to you that that Is
aside from tho Issue. Diplomatic negotia
tions were progressing, and In the midst
of them a resolution was pubhed Into tho
Houso and another In tho Senate that
would seek to mar those negotiations.
"The power of the President bus been
hutnperril, If not deitrojrd,"
CRIES OF "GO AHEAD."
Representative Gnllawny of Texas,
recognized as one of the "peace-at-any-prleo"
Congressmen, attempted to Inter
rupt Representative Graham, but mem
bers on tho floor downed him with shouts
of "No, no. Go ahead."
Representative Graham continued:
"With tho Inference In the capitals of
Europe that wo aro a divided House, how
can tho President successfully conduct
any negotiations? ijo naB requested sim
ply an expression of opinion by tho
Houso on the question whether tho House
shall Interfere by tho adoption of this
rulo and the tabling of the McLemore
resolution."
The time allotted to Representative Gra
ham expired, but Representative Pou
yielded him more time so bo might com
plete his remarks.
"It Is admlted by tho Central Powers."
said Mr. Graham, "that neutrals havo tho
rights to tracl on belligerent merchant
vessels. That being tho case, what else
could tho President do than Insiht that
they have that right?
"I'm xtiiiHllnjr here lnnMlnc tlmt tin.

MANN URGES WARNING.
Republican Leader Mann, near tho close
of debate on the rule, was given rapt at
tention. He said tho best wny to get
a straight vote on a simple warning res
olution was to vote down the "previous
question." Mann clearly indicated his
position In favor of warning Americans.
'The President desires our opinion,"
said Mann. "Wo do not express it by
taliMng the McLemore resolution, unless
sut'll action l'i constiued as an Invitation
to Americans to trael on armed essels.

"This rule would glvo tho House no
chance to ote on the real Issue, but only
to table a resolution tho House would
under no circumstances agree to "
Representative Lcnroot (Rep.. Wis.)
called for defeat of tho previous emotion
so as to permit the House to amend the
McLemore resolution. Tho real sentiment
of the Houso, bo said, would not bo shown
for warning Americans by tho tabling of
McLcmore's resolution.
"A man who votes for tabling the reso
lution and Is actually for a warning is a
coward," said Lemoot. He received tre
mendous applause from his Republican
colleagues.
Representative Fitzgerald startled Rem
ociats by saying he would voto against
tabling the McLemore resolution.
"I do not believe we should Jeopardize
tho nation because a few foolhardy per
sons take passage on armed ships," bo
said. He said, however, he would support
the rule.
Represcntatlvo Garrett, of Tennessee,
sharply boomed tho opening of the battle
tho doorways, aisles nnd corridors wero
packed. The President's nnd diplomatic
galleries nlone wero gaping vacancies In
the tier of galleries. Capitol pollen
swarmed to hold great crowds In tho cor

only about 100 members were present

spoke of the great responsibility resting
upon the House.
"God grant they may think of tho duty

for "peace nnd harmony.' '

An L. B. "Automatic" makes it easy to fill
correctly (cards or folders). It makes un-filini
just as easy. It is mistake-proof. These
features make the L. B. "Automatic" superior
to all other methods.
Will it fit your business? We shall be glad
to find out. Write or 'phone.
