of War today giving details of the
reports from the front Indicate that
although extremely slowly, the Ger
mans are gaining just a3 steadily
in the Verdun front. Monday
morning the French had cvacuatea
the village of Vaux over night, thus
leaving the important position open
to attack. The evacuation as at
; Malincourt was the signal for a Ger
! man assault with disastrous results
owing to the command of the posi
tion by French artillerists. Up to
evening the Germans had not been
; able to occupy the position.

| elded gains in the vicinity of Deaa
1 man’s Hill which is of more real
importance than the evacuated vill
age of Vaux.

are reported from the Verdun battlo
Croj|t, the advance taking place be
tween Bethincourt and Haucourt

position to retire after the German
artillery has subjected their lines
to prolonged bombardment.

aeroplanes were downed by the

CUMMINS ATTACKS BRANDEIS
VIOLATOR COMMON MORALS
WASHINGTON, D. C.„ April 3.—
Senator Cummins made a bald bid
tor the republican nomination by
a most unexpected and vitriolic at
tack upon the nomination of Bran
dels as a man “bereft of common
huslnoss morality and . without any
sence of professional rectitudo’’.

tainly applauded Cummins to the
limit of the roof.

the nomination for president part
cnlarly indicted Brandels for admitt
ing that during the railroad rate
cases that the revenues wero inade
quate. He said he was employed to
handle the people's not tho railroads
Kern soored Cummins by direct
ing attention to the (act that “the
railroad and other interests, not the
people were fighting .the Brandels
appointment". Big Business is to
fight Brandels to the last, while the
ehjeetton to a "Jew eg the supreme
bench”, is being made much of by
certain religlo-polltlcal factors in the
east.
President Wilson says that he has
suspended Judgment on the Sussex
case pending the German investiga
tion—an unusual stand in negotia
tions wherein German matters are
Involved.
Congress expects a supplement
ary report upon the soaring prices
of gasoline and some action may be
taken as a result.
