BY ARTHXTR C. DRAPER. (London Correspondent of the New York Tribune.) LONDON', Feb. 29. (Special.) With the battle of Douaumont and to the north of Verdun still apparently dead locked, the Germans assert today they have made further progress in the Woevre district. Here Berlin asserts the capture of five villages Dieppe, Abaucourt, Blanzee, Manhuelles and Champion. Of these, Paris admits only the Joss of Manhuelles. which lies about half a mile south of Fresnes, taken by the Germans yesterday. As the town lies on one of the direct roads to Verdun, its possession is important, and Paris asserts that counter attacks already have reached its outskirts. The great reserve force of the French army is being- held miles from the bat tle front at Verdun. Foremost military authorities of Great Britain believe that in doing so the best tactics have been employed, for if the attack on Verdun fails, as it is firmly believed that it will, it is expected' that another and greater drive will be launched by the Germans in the Champagne region. A concentrated French reserve fvill meet it. German Reasons Varied. ' It Is the belief today of British crit ics that the Verdun offensive was first an effort to upset the plan for the Spring campaign of the allies, which is believed to have included a combined attack upon the German lines on all fronts. Another reason for the attack is that it is a pure gambler's chance on the part of the Germans to reach Paris by a V-shaped wedge. Another reason seen by war critics for the drive is that neutral opinion may ba serious ly affected, especially in the Balkan states. Speaking generally of the battlo at , Verdun. Lord Sydenlmm, recognized in England as one of the foremost crit ics on military affairs, said today: "The present drive seems to have been undertaken by Germany, first, to enhearten the country, and, sec ondly, to impress neutrals. The losses of the Germans, including the cutting to pieces of the famous Bran denburgers, must certainly defeat the first objective and surely it will not 'make the masses of Germany, who are now beginning to suffer terribly, more cheerful, while nothing but en tire success is likely to persuade Rou mania and Greece against , taking the side of the allies. Attack expected to Continue. "Because of this we are bound to expect that the attack now launched wili continue with unbounded frenzy, not only at Verdun but at other points along the 500-mile front." Repons from Holland indicate that the joy of the German people at the first news of the successes of the armies before Verdun has been chilled by the arrival of trainload after train load of wounded, which have poured into every city and town in Western Germany. Every hour brings fresh news of the horror of the battlefield. All England today is keyed to a pitch of excitement " which has not been attained since the beginning of the war. Mingled with the belief that Germany is making a final desperate bid for success is the fear that the Verdun drive is only a prelude to a 'series of daring tactics. One rumor -which is heard freely is that a com ; blned sea and air attack will be made on the coast cities of England. GERMAN" GUNS PUSH FORWARD AH Branches of Army Show Re markable Co-operation. BERLIN. Feb. 29. via London, March , 1. All reports of the battle of Verdun .show a more and more remarkable co operation of all arms. A study of the progress during the week since the first attack was delivered shows that ; guns must have been steadily brought j, forward as last as the infantry cleared ' any French position, there to resume ! the wor.k of making the next position xipe for storming. The Germans east of Verdun who . reached the base of the Lorraine hills Monday, appear now to be in a position .to bring their guns to bear on the Ver ' dun forts at the most effective vdis . tauce. The abandonment by the French of the so-called Meuse Peninsula was , expected after the taking of Champ- neuvilie by the Germans. ; The advanced German ' line from '. Champneuville toward Bras shows that the Germans gradually are straihten :;ing out the kink in the line north of : Verdun. Between Verdun and Fort de Marre. which forms the northwestern corner of the Verdun fortifications, lies the Meuse and on the western shore is . a broad stretch of flat meadow land ' which is commanded by Fort de Marre : and by its advanced batteries, and ; hence immediate further progress in this direction is not expected.

OTHERS CARRY NO GUNS Seven Italian Liners in Regular Trade Between New York and Mediterranean Five Mora Measured for Armament. NEW YORK. Feb. 29. Only a small proportion of the shipping plying be tween American and European porta a fleet of armed Italian merchantmen appears to be menaced by the new Teu tonic submarine policy, which goes into effect at midnight. British and French ships that have arrived here and at' other Atlantic ports during the past year have car ried no guns. Seven Italian ships With naval guns mounted on their aftr decks and manned by trained crews from the Italian navy have been plying between New York and Mediterranean ports since the first of the year, and one, similarly armed, put in at Fort Arthur, Tex. Five other Italian liners in the New York trade are understood to have been measured for armament tobe placed on their next arrival at home ports. Of the latter, the steamship San Gio vanni sailed at noon today for Naples and Genoa, The San Giovanni carries only freight on this trip. The steamship Gieseppt Verdi, the first Italian liner to arrive here thus armed, is due to leave port tomorrow, this being her second round trip as an armed vessel. Her agents had not as certained today the number of pas sengers she will carry, but .believed that the number would not be large, the majority being third-class. The .steamships San Guglielmo and Napoli, also armed, are due to sail for the Mediterranean on March 4. Other armed Italian liners are at sea, making voyages in both directions. Local agents of the Italian lines here today declined to discuss the new submarine orders, but all said insofar as they knew now there would be no cancellation of sailing dates. French and British . passenger ships from New York now at sea and due to pass through the war zone are as fol lows: French line steamship Lafayette. February 26 for Bordeaux; her sister ship Espagne, February 28 for the same port: British steamships Cretic. Feb ruary 20, via Boston for Liverpool and Tuscan, February 28 for Glasgow. No guns were seen on any of these ships when they departed, nor were any re ported to the collector of the port. GREECE INVITES ATTACK MOVE AGAINST SALONIKI WEL COMED, SAYS GERMAN. Premier Quoted Also aa Sarins: En tente Allien Attempted to Cause People to Revolt Against Klnc. BERLIN. Feb. 29. (By wireless to Sayville, X. Y.) "Do you consider it possible to force our people to give up their neutrality by pressure with bayonets? Whoever believes that the Greeks will abandon their King does not .know the Greek character," Thus declared Prime Minister Skou lodis. of Greece, to the correspondent of the Berlinger Tageblatt. who was interviewing him. according to the Overseas News Agency, which summa rizes the interview as follows: Premier Skoulodis asserted that be tween January 1 and 10 the entente powers tried to. .move the Greek people to rebellion against their gov- AND GENERAL JOFFRE, STANDING IN THE MIDDLE IN DARK UNIFORM. ernment by attempting- to starve them out, but that the Greeks got along on vegetables and fruits. When the entente powers saw this, added the Premier, they understood that not only the Greek army, but the majority of the Greek people, indorsed their gov ernment's policy. "The entente, therefore, changed its tactics continued M. Skoulodis. "and allowed the Greeks their regular ra tions." Greece hopes for and would welcome an offensive against Saloniki, the Premier asserted, because the occupa tion of that port affects every Greek like a nightmare. He felt certain, he said, that if the Bulgarians were to enter Greece for war operations the feelings of the Greeks would not be hurt. Finally, he declared emphati cally: "At all events the world will see that Greece will not give up her neu trality. She will not allow herself to be forced by events nor by arms.' BRITISH GREDIT UPHELD CHANCELLOR SAYS GOVERNMENT WILL AID FOREIGN TRADE. Natfon'a Expenditures for Current Year Will Reach C7,545,00,OO0 Rivals to Re Shut Out. LONDON, Feb. 29. Great Britain's personal national expenditure for the current year will reach a total of fl, 509.000,000 (J7.645.000.00O), accord ing to a statement today by Reginald McKenna, Chancellor of the Exche quer, addressing the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom. Great Britain, he said, had maintained her credit unimpaired throughout the war. v The government, he said, was pre pared to give assistance In developing foreign trade to insure that rivals who were "Great Britain's enemies" should not, as in the past, enjoy con trol of the foreign trade. Sir Algernon Freeman Firth, presi dent of the association, moved that "the strength and safety of the na tion lay in its ability to produce what is required from its soil and facto ries." Colonel Hughes, of Sheffield, said the- entire acreage of the country could not produce anything like the quantity of foodtnffs necessary to maintain the nation. An amendment was adopted substituting the word "empire" for nation in the chairman's resolution. -The Chancellor referred to the rela tion between trade and a military vic tory. Destroy our trade," he said, "and you shatter the foundation of our power to make these great advances to our allies and dominions." TREATY THOUGHT DOOMED Administration Sees Xo Hope for Compact With Colombia. WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. Administra tion Senators admitted today they had practically no hope of ratification for the Colombian treaty, proposing pay ment of J15.000.000 to Colombia for the partition of Panama and mailing mu tual expression of regret. A thorough canvass of the Senate has convinced Administration leaders that nearly all Republicans and sev eral Democrats would resist ratifica tion to the last. A vote on the measure, some Sena tors believe, should be avoided, be cause inaction would be better than a fiat .rejection in its effect upon Co lombia. , School Board Opposes Drills. SAN FRANCISCO.

BOND GALL IS READY McAdoo Takes First Step To ward New Currency. CHANGE IS MOMENTOUS Retirement of Government Two Per Cents and Substitution of Circa lation Based on Business Demands Facilitated. WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. The first step was taken today toward carrying out the plana of the framers of the Federal reserve act for substitution of a currency based on the demands of commerce for a currency based on Government bonds. In a letter to the Federal Reserve Board, Secretary Mc Adoo announced his readiness to pro vide for the retirement during the pres ent year of ? 30,000,000 on the 2 per cent United State bonds used' by National banks to secure their note circulation. This is regarded by members of the board aa the most important action af fecting the reserve system taken In many months. There is outstanding more than $700,000,000 worth of these i per cent bonds, a total that heretofore has not varied, with the result that the amount of National bank notes in cir culation has been fixed, no matter whether money was tight or easy. The reserve act provides for the re tirement of the twos in 20 years, thfc National bank' currency being replaced generally by Federal reserve notes, based on commercial paper and gold and counted on by the framers of the law to respond to the demands of busi ness.' Machinery is provided in the reserve act for the retirement of tti twos by their refunding in 80-year 3 per cent bonds, on which currency cannot be based, and one-year United States tfold notes. The law says that reserve banks shall be required to buy a total of $25, 000,000 of the 2 per cents from banks which are members of the system each year If the banks desire to get rid of this amount. Mr. McAdoo, however, on advice of counsel, has decided that this provision of the law covers only 2 per cent bonds held by National banks, against which they have issued bank currency and not bonds held by reserve banks for invest ment purposes and against which there is no outstanding circulation. The ef fect of this decision, it was said to night, probably will be to retire the 2 per cents much faster than was ex pected. ROSE LECTURE IS HEARD fse of Fertilizers Also Discussed Before SelHvood Club. Fred V. Holman. the well-known rose-grower and expert, gave a demon stration of xose-pruning Monday night before the Sellwood Rose and Floral Club, at the Sellwood Y. M. C. A. rooms before many Sellwood rose-growers. At this time pruning is the highly important part of rose-growing, both for exhibition and for general pur poses, said Mr. Holman. Taking' rose bushes of the Caroline Testout. the Bride and Tea variety, supplied by members of the society, Mr. Holman demonstrated how they should be pruned. He showed that for exhibition purposes the pruning is much more severe than for roses for household and general purposes. Ex planation was made concerning the planting of roses and the use of fer tilizers. ARSON CASE IS OPENED Oswego Woman Enters Plea of IS'ot Guilty. OREGON CITY, Or., Feb. 29. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Mary C.
