GENERAL GADORNA SAYS
VERDUN IS INVINCIBLE
PARIS, April 5. — General Ca-»
dorna who returned from tho Verdun
front says that it is his opinion the
French defense is simply invincible.
PARIS, April 5.—Today the
French carried forward their lines
iu several sections of the Verdun
front.
The most important gains were
mado in the Collett woods whence !
they drove out the Germans in a
series of bayonet attacKs. The Ger
mans were engaged in constructing
defenses. «
The occupation of the woods of
Caillett threatened the positions at
Gouamont and henco are of great
importance to tbo French.
In the afternoon the Germans
again made an effort to drive for
ward from the Argonne side, follow
^ng up an artillery lira of some sever
ity, but here they were crushingly
repulsed, and two thousand prison
ers taken.
BERLIN, April 5.—The Germans
were unable to retain the positions
in the Caillett woods owing to the
fact that they were subjected to a
flanking fire from hills to the right
and the placo was abandoned before
a French attach. The work of re
ducing the major French positions
is an arduous one and will take a
longer time than was expected.
The situation was relatively quiet
today.

The government may direct that
shipments for the Alaska federal
departments and the Railroad Com
mission be sent north on govern
ment bottoms should the official
report of the rates to Alaskan points
show that they are considered ex

supplies to the northern territory.
It is possible transports engag <1
in the I’hillipine service may be re*
quisitioned. This will be fought by
the steamship companies.

THESE STIRRING DAYS
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5 —
The Borland resolution asking an In
vestigation of the packing trust is
some weighty political move. It is
receiving strong endorsement by
western growers who assert that
the trust is crushing them and that
they must obtain relief. Singularly
enough, there is rejuvenation of
anti-trustism manifested In the
I house and complaints are loud at
the failure of the administration to j
enforce the laws. Most of these
complaints come too from the demo-1
crats.
It Is now said to be likely that
Administration influence In the sen
ate may kill the Immigration bill In
order to save Wilson's beng put to
the necessity of again vetoing it.
Congress was informed today that
Carranza being pressed to allow the
United States to—use the railroads ot
Mexico to keep in touch with the
troops, had made good and had
given orders to that effect.

Lake says the British loss is small,
that fifteen hundred Turks were
taken prisoners and many machine
and field guns also taken. The Turks
are short of food. '
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 5.—
The British made some headway
against the Ottoman troops owing

were removed to fight the Russians
marching south from Eteroum, but
Townsend’s army is still caught in
the trap. The British losses are
large. *4 >
LONDON,, April 6.—The War

BRITISH INSIST UPON
SEARCHING GERMAN MAILS
I
BERLN, April 5.—The German
government states that the Dutch
steamers Seandijt, Vandijk, and Ta
dora all carrying large mail from
Germany to the United States, left
all the mail in England where it is
being overhauled by the British cen
sors.
THE HAGUE, April 5.—The gov
ernment of the Netherlands is still
neutral and will remain neutral al
though highly dissatisfied with the
acts of both tho Central and En
tente Powers. Tho efforts of the
latter to close the Holland-German
border and the attempts of the
former upon the Dutch shipping
which has been so serviceable to
Germany, has greatly Incensed the
Netherlands government, but Britisn
Interference with Dutch shipping
compels the government to treat
more lightly the serious assaults ot
which the German submarines have
been guilty.
LONDON, April 5.—The Admi
ralty announces that one British and
three noutrnl steamers were re
ported as having been submarined
today.
BERLN, April 5.—It in now ad
mitted that the statement that Hol
land had been asked to close its
German frontier to the latter coun
try was a premature one, but that
such a policy had been resolved
upon by the Allies war Council.

HOLLWEG PROTESTS NOT
HOSTILE TO AMERICA
BERLIN, April 5.—The Chan
cellor, Bethmann von Hollweg, in a
statement reported to have been di
rectly instigated by the Kaiser,
vigorously protested that Germany
did not now nor would in the future
contemplate aggression against the
United Stdteki He with some bitter
ness deplored the fact that the
United States had been led to be-1
lieve that Germany had unfriendly
designs against that nation, and
traced it to the lies of the enemies
of the Fatherland carefully circu
lated to stimulate hostility to tier*
many. The Chancellor consumed
practically the entire morning ses
sion in delivering his statement In
the Reichstag which he did with
very unusual vigor and fooling.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.
While there Is some satisfaction felt
at the Bethmann Holweg state
ment In the Reichstag, it is quite
apparent that the officials are not
ready to accept it unreservedly un
til the present negotiations relative
to the submarine tactics are ad
justed.

nounces the difference In Germany's
official world In the Reichstag and
