FRENCH REPULSE
GERMAN ATTACK
j [Continued From First Face.]
1 veloplng along the southern part of
the Russian front, as Vienna reports
j increasing activity by the artillery on
both sides. In Galicia the Russians
have attacked along the Stripa, but
without success, the Austrian war
office tied ares.
Italians Repulse Austrian*
The Italian offensive along the
Isonzo is commanding Increasing at
tention, although Vienna's latest re
port on the situation declares the at
tacks on the Austrian Hues have de
creased in violence. The current state
ment by the Rome war office records
! counterattacks by the Austrians on po
' sitions newly won by the Italians.
! These are declared to have been re
pulsed.
Claim Dead Man's Hill
The German official bulletin to-day
does not mention the lighting east
of the Meuse in the Verdun region,
iTt reports, however, two attacks by
the French on four positions on Dead
Man's heights, possession of which is
j now apparently claimed by both sides.
Both of the French attacks, one of
which was a surprise affair without
' artillery preparation are declared to
have been unsuccessful.
French War Head, 111,
Resigns as Result of
Friction With Senate
Special to the Telegraph
! Paris, March 17. General Joseph
Simon Gallleni, Minister of War, lias re
signed because of ill health, and Gen
eral Charles Roque has been appointed
so succeed him.
General Gallieni lias been the French
Minister of War since October, 1915.
Before that, he was military governor
I of Paris.
i Before the war broke out there had
been a feud of thirty years' standing
! between General Joffre and General
Gallleni. They had not shaken hands
nor exchanged friendly greetings dur
ing that period. With tne declaration
,of war, they buried the hatchet and
promised to co-operate with each other
to the fullest degree for the good of
their country. Since then there have
been no indications of a reopening of
; the feud.
Friction With tlie Senate
I There has. however, been frequent
I friction between Gallieni and the
French Senate, as a result of which
Gallieni lias more than once threatened
|to resign. Ex-Premier Georges Cleni
! enceau. head of the Senate army com
mission, .lias been an outspoken critic
! of the ministry and of the conduct of
the war.
Much of this criticism has been di
| rected against alleged faults in the
French aviation service. It may be sig
nificant in this connection that General
Roque, who succeeds Gallieni, was
formerly inspector general of the air
service and is an authority on matters
of military aviation.
DR. HO LI AY EG TO QVIT?
By Associated Press
London. March 17.—Dr. Von Beth
niann-Hollweg, the Imperial chancel
lor. may follow Admiral Von Tirpitz
into retirement, according to a dis
patch from Geneva to the Daily Ex
press, quoting Berlin reports which
also state that Prince Bernhard Von
Buclow. the former chancellor, will
soon leave Lucerne For Berlin.
WANTS SEA FIGHT
By Associated Press
Paris, March 17.—The retirement
of Admiral Von Tirpitz is considered
in French official circles, according to
the Paris newspapers, to be due to
i the fact that he has opposed tjie com
ing out of the German fleet while Em
peror William desires to see it en
; gage the British naval forces.
House of Commons Holds
Protracted Session Over
Married Recruits Problem
By Associated Press
London, March 17. —It was well past
i 1 o'clock ths morning when the House
'of Commons adjourned after a pro
tracted debate nominally on army
estimates but really covering a wide
range of topics.
There were many heated passages
regarding the problem of calling up
married men. Sir John A. Simon, ex
secretary for home affairs, among
others, appeared as the champion of
the married men. but his speech met
with sharp criticism for other cham
pions of the married men owing to his
argument that there was danger of
over recruiting.
It was announced in the lobby of
the House of Commons that a con
ference will take place Saturday at
the war office between the high mili- i
tary authorities and the recruiting
commanders when the require
ments of the army in regard to men
will be fully discussed.
Among the proposals now# being
considered is that of extending the
military age for single men to to
years. There is also a widespread feel
ing that the compulsion act should be !
extended to the married men as a ;
considerable part of the ill-feeling
among married men now being called
up is due to the fact that those who
voluntarily enrolled under the Derby
scheme must go into the army while 1
married men who declined in invita- ,
tion to enroll are allowed to con-!
tinue in their civil occupations.
The real seriousness of feeling 1
throughout the country on this matter
was reflected in the House of Com- 1
mons where members showed tho ,
state of their minds on the vote for
adjournment. The government de
manded adjournment until Tuesday
but part Mans of the married men
urged a continuation of the session !
untl the question of the married men j
was properly settled.
The government got its wish, but
only after a division was carried by a !
bare six votes. This is the most seri
, ous division the coalition government i
has yet had to face.
Submarine War Will Go
Limits Set in Memorandum;
Von Hollweg to Resign?
By Associated Press
Berlin, March 16, via London, March
17.—German officials repeat the state
ment that submarine warfare will go
on in the limits set by the German
Memorandum to neutral powers of 1
; last month, hut that the demands of
those who wished to see the indiscrim
inate torpedoing of "whatever comes I
in front of the torpedo tubes," to use |
the expression of one of those who |
advocate this policy, will not be ful- ■
tilled.
This is also the deduction which ■
those acquainted with the situation
declare can be drawn from the resig- ■
nation of Admiral Von Tirpitz, which ;
was foreshadowed a few days ago by '
the reports of his illness. The con
clusion Is said to be strengthened by
the fact that Admiral Von Capelle has
been chosen as the new minister. lie
is known merely as an excellent ad
ministrative officer, not having had
ship command in the last twenty-five
years. During this period he has been
at the admiralty, first as advisor on
military affairs, then in the budget
departments and finally as head of
the administrative department He
was looked on as the right hand man
of Admiral Von Tirpitz until his re- j
Urement last November.

Insists Upon Rigid
Economy in Framing
New German War Budget
By Associated I'rcss
Berlin, March 17 —(By Wireless)
Dr. Karl Helfferlch, secretary of the
• Imperial Treasury, introduced in the
J Reichstag yesterday the budget pro- i
posals and bills for new war taxes. ;
'Dr. Helfferlch insisted upon the neces- .
Isity of rigid economy in framing the j
budget, saying:
"We shall put on the brakes where
■ ever we can."
The secretary pointed out that an
increase in revenue by taxation was
: necessary, although he said every
\ German expected peace would bring
! financial advantages. After stating
that war expenses were not included :
in the budget, he referred to the fact
that the Influence of the war was
noticeable in the increase of interest
|on the public debt, which was 1,268,-
■ 000,000 marks last year, and is now
I 2,303,000,000 marks. He said the
budget showed a deficit of 480,000,000
| marks, which was to be covered by)
! new war tuxes.
Dr. Helfferich urged the Reichstag
! to expedite the financial legislation,
i saying that the new taxes would pro
vide 10,000,000 marks each week for
carrying on ihe war.
The secretary compared the finan
' cial resources of Germany as ex
hibited during the war, with those of
i her enemies. He said Prance up to
| the present had not raised even ten
billion marks in war loans, and that
| England had raised between 18,000,-
,000,000 and 19,000,000,000 marks, of
| which 13,000,000,000 was in the form I
.of a short term floating debt. Ger
-1 many, ho said, had raised 25,000,000,-
000 marks and all the loans had been
consolidated. At the same time the
cost of the war in January and \
February fell below 2,000,000,000 J
j marks.
German savings banks, the secre- j
1 tary continued, now have deposits of
1500,000,000 marks in excess of 1914,'
in addition to which 4,500.000,000■
marks has been withdrawn from the
banks for war loan investments.
| Germany's enemies. Dr. Helfferich
. I asserted are carrying on a campaign;
of defamation which extends even into
this country, where paid agents]
I spread rumors for the purpose of im- j
pairing the success of war loans.
