Progressives, met the President to
day and told him they would not vole
for the bhill unless their two amend
ments were accepted Senator Poin
dexter, Progressive, stated that he
would vote for the bill if it were
iitably amended Immediately upon
the close morning business
n the Senate the caucus Democrats
showed their hands
: Calls for Pension Bill. I
Senator Shively, of Indiana, chair
man of the Committee on Pensions,l
asked unanimous consent that the
omnibus pension bill be taken up,
and no objection was made. That
development was taken to mean that
the Democrats, not yet sure of their
position, proposed to begin action on
at least one of the appropriation bills
while waiting to complete a bargain
on the shipping bill, either with the
recalcitrant Democrats or the Pro
gressive Republicans.
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
to-day offered an amendment to the
shipping bill providing that no ves
sels owned by belligerents should be
purchased.
Senator Burton, of Ohlo, offered
resolutions calling upon the State
Department for all: information and
correspondence in its possession indi
ca‘ingth e attitude of belligerents to
ward our proposed purchase of ir
terned ships and calling upon the
‘Secretary of the Treasury for any
correspondence thus far conducted
looking toward the purchase of ships.
| Amendment Is Proposed.
i The Poindexter amendment not
only forbids the purchase of interned
}ships, but prohibits the sailing of
Government-owned ships to ports of
countries engaged in war.
Senator Jones, of Washington, of
fered an amendment to the shipping
bill which provided that “no taxes or
duties collected from unenfranchised
women shall be available for the pur
pose of this act.”
Since the bill appropriates $10,000,-
000 from the Federal Treasury, the|
amendment nullifies the entire bill
until such time as women shall be
enfranchised throughout the country.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
after a conference of Republican lead
ers, to-day introduced a substitute mrl
the shipping bill.
The effect of the Lodge suhstitute‘
is to propose that the Navy Depart

i Roads Pay Dividends
- From Surplus Funds
! r ——————a———
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—Several \\‘n.vt-!
ern railroads pay dividends out of
surplus instead of income, am-nrding'
to a statement by Grand Chief Engi
neer Warren 8. Stone, of the Brother
hoed of Locomotive Engineers, testi
fying to-day before the Federal board
hearing the demands of enginemen for
belter wages.
Stone quoted the companies’ fig
ures, ending June 30, 1914, and named
the following companies as having
paid dividends from surplus:
(‘hicago, Rock Island and Pacific,
$1,871,762; Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, $261.429; th> Soo Line, $2,646, -
714: St. Louis and Soutnwestern, §3,-
084,375: Union Pacific, $74,020,372, and
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
ard the Illinvis Central amounts not
given.
The idea of this testimony was to
show that the companies’ argument
that their income account was too
small to permit their raising wages
was an idle argument.

Heavy French artillery is

carrying out commissary work.
In West Flanders, German artillery
has been carrying on a severe cannons
ade against Belglan works,
Artillery Duels “Intanse.”
The oMicial communique follows:
“The day of February 1 was marxed
by an intensity of the artillery dueis
on both sides.
“It was also noted by a series of
German attacks of secondary impor
tance, which were all repulsed with
‘henvy losses to the enemy in propor
tion to the forces engaged.
“In Belgium the German heavy ar
tillery has shown a great deal of ac
tivity upon the whole front occupied
by the Belgian troops, and especlally
against the several points of support
which they (the Belgians) had cap
tured some time ago.
“In the region of the Yser, around
Ypres, very violent cannonading has
taken place.
“From the Lys to the Somme &
German regiment attacked an Eng
lish post near Guinchy and succeeded
in throwing back the English, but the
British, by a series of counter attacks,
reoccupied the grourid lost, and then
made some progress, capturing some
of the enemy’s trenches.
“The action referred to in the com
munique of February 1, 11 p. m, as
having taken place along the road
from Bethune to Laßassee, was pars
ticularly brilliant for our infantry.'
The number of troops employed by
the Germans lin this fighting seems
to have been at least a battalion.
Bayonet Repulses Enemy.
“The two _openlnx attacks wers
checked by our fire; the first succeed
ed in entering one of our trenches,
but a counter attack made immedi
ately with the bayonei permitted us
to repulse the enemy. Some Germans
alone succeeded in regaining their
trenches. All the others -were killed
or made prisoners.
“Between the Somme and the Oise
and along the front of the Aisne no
important event has taken place, with
the exception of the German attack
made upon Beaumont-Hamel, which
was not renewed.
“Our heavy artillery has bombarded
the railroad station at Noyon, where
the enemy was carrying out his com
missary work. Our guns caused fwo
explosions, the smoke of which hung
in the air for more than two and a
half hours.
“In the region of Perthes our
methodical progress continues. We
have occupied another small forest o
the northwest of this village.
“In the Woevre the enemy has ate
tempted an attack upon the western
corner of the forest of Bouchot, to
the northeast of Troyon. Thiz attack
Iwas immediately stopped.
