PARIS, March 7.—Further progress
by the German troops assailing the
French positions on the Verdun front
is admitted in the communique issued
by the French War Office this after
noon. The Germang are advancing on
the west bank of the Meuse. Under
cover of a heavy bombardment and
using liquid gas, they reached the
outskirts of Regneville. They have
also captured hill No. 265, though ts.'»i
gain this success they sacrificed u}
large number of troops under the flrel
of the French artillery and machirie
guns.
The text of the communique (01-l
lows: '
“In the Argonne some éfforte made
by the enemy ;o occupy a mine crater
at Haute Chevauchee have been re
pulsed.
“Our artillery has continued its
bombardment of the enemy’s lines of
communication. To the west Bf the
Meuse, protected by an intense bom
bardment, the Germans have ad
vanced, using liquid gas, along the
railway to the outskirts of Regneville.
20,000 Men Capture Hill.
“Three violent attacks by a force
numbering a division (20,000 men)
were launched by them at the same
time upon hill No. 265, which they
succeeded in capturing, despite heavy
losses inflicted upon them by our ar
tillery and machine guns.
“We hold the villages of Bethin
court and Bogueteaux, to the east of
Corbeaux forest, and Cumieres on
Cote de L'Ole (Goose Hill).
“The artillery duel! continued very
actively during the night to the east
of the Meuse, in the region of Bras
and Hardaumont, as well as in the
Woevre, in the sector of Fresnes, and
the villages at the foot of the hill.”
(Regneville lies on the Meuse River,
a mile southeast of Forges and lourl
miles northwest ‘of * Verdun. It is
within easy gun range of the forts de- ‘
fending Verdun upon the northwest.
Bethincourt is one mile and a half due!
west of Forges. The reports indi
cates & gain for the Germans of more
than a mile since the capture of
Forges yesterday.)
Germans Mowed Down.
The capture of Forges, on the west
bank of the Meuse, officlally an
nounced last night, cost the Germans |
heavily, for the massed troops which
assaulted the French positions were
caught in a cross-fire of artillery and
were mowed down in heaps by ma
ochine guns |
(Forges lies on elevated ground, one
mile west of the Meuse River. It is
1-2 miles northwest of Verdun and
il-2 miles due north of Fort Marre,
one of the principal works defending
Verdun on the northwest side.)
Stretching south of Forges along :he
hills which flank the Meuse are stroug

st
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, March 7.—A heavy
snowstorm was raging over the North
Sea to-day and no confirmation was
available of reports that a big Ger
man war fleet had sailed out from
Wilhelshaven, presumably for the
purpose of giving battle to the Brit
ish.
in this same connection it was re
portea from Amsterdam that a num
ber of big German warships have
slipped from the Kiel Canal and have
taken refuge in the German naval
base at Zeebrugge, Belgium, where
they are continuously held with steam
up.
A Central News dispatch from Vlie
land, Holland, says that a fleet of 25
German men-of-war was observed on
Monday in the North Sea, finally dis
appearing in a northerly direction.
There has been active communica
tion between the British and Russian
Admiralties recently, giving rise to
the belief that English and Russian
warships will co-operate when the ice
goes out of the Baltic and will pre
vent all German merchant ships from
leaving port. At present there is
lively maritime trading between Ger
many and Sweden.
Need of One-Legged
Stenographer Bared
The secret of what the American
Employment Agency wanted with a
one-legged man as stenographer has
leaked out at last. It seems that an
artificial limb company desired such a
man to try on wooden legs and in odd
moments to do typewriting.
A one-legged man from Dalton is
said to be leading in the race, which
began when the unique want ad ap
peared in The, Georgian.

and wind—all in fifteen minutes—
Tuesday caught Atlanta's high noonl
lunchers out without umbrellas or ar.;

The hailstorm came in two install
ments, a few minutes apart. |
Witnesses differed sharply as to the
size of the hailstones, always impor
tant statistics in the annals of such
visitations. Some reported them the
size of a half doilar. Some said a
quarter was about the size. Probably
the average was about the size of 35

' The hailstorm was heralded by a
‘t‘hunder and lightning overture. 'The
thunder did no damage éxcept to
nerves, but the lighting struck tHe At.

picked R. E. Gann, linotype operator,
for its victim. It knocked Gann out of
his chair and he took the count on the
floor. By the time the Grady ambu
lance arrived he was fully recovered
and ready to go back to work. ‘
The storm began operations at 8
o'clock at Gainesville, where lightning |
struck the high-power lines of tlhe

and stopped Atlanta trolley cars for
about ter minutes, greatly to the profit
of jitney busses. The current was off
only half a minute, but the rest of the
time it had a low voltage and the cars
couldn’t be cranked up
The storm followed the power lines
from Gainesville into Atlanta, reach
ing the city at noon. Passing De
catur, it paused long enough to al
minister another wallop that crippled
the cars for another half minute. No
injury to properties was reported.
At the weather bureau the rainfall

on the McLemore resolution,
By E. R. SARTWELD,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
WASHINGTON, March 7.—The
House of Representatives to-day ea
pitulated to President Wilson. The
first test vote on proposals to warn
Americans off belligerent armed ships
showed that the forces of the Admins
istration were in complete control. By
a vote of 256 to 160 the House carried
a motion to limit debate on the spe
clal rule for the consideration of the
McLemore warning resolution. The
Administration program ealled for
four hours’ debate on the McLemors
measure, followed by a motion to lay
it on the table. The first vote indi.
cated that the program would g 0
through easily.
The vote came In the midst of &
day of sensational debate, such as the
House has seldom seen. Pleas for sup
port of the President, who has “car
ried- the reatest national responsibili
ties of any President since Lincoln,*
aroused the House to wild enthue
slasm.
Warnings that no nation “divided
against jtself shall stand” were re
celved in solemn silence. Excoriatton
of American clitizens whose “fool
hardiness and recklessness” In trav«
eling on belligerent ships may “plunge
the country into war” was cheered.
House Rises and Cheers,
The final argument and appeal
which aroused the House most was
the demand that this country stand
firmly behind the President in his
fight to insure respect for the riguts
of American citizens en the sea,
To this plea the big membership on
the floor, and the crowd which over
flowed galleries and corridors, rose
with cheers and applause. The gray
haired, stalwart form of Speaker
Clark stood at the desk, and his hand
wielded the gavel vigorously, but Im
potently, in his efforts to restrain
them At times the House was in
tumult
When the vote was announced a
hush of silence swept over the cham
ber, followed by a sigh of rellef, as
the members and the crowd realized
that the President was sure of a big
majority of the House behind him in
his foreign poiicy. The men who have
led the fight for the President through
the stranuous weeks of his battle with
Congress gave vent to their relief.
Little groups gathered together on the
floor, shaking hands and congratulat
ing each other. Members of both
sides of the chamber, Democrats and
Republicans, voiced their relief
Victory Increases.
Immediately after the first teat vota
was taken, another roll call wag or
dered on the special rule for the con
sideration of the MoLamore resolu

the call. The clerk called droningly
