PARIS STILL IS CONFIDENT Whole Front Is Alert and Leaves or Absence Are Recalled, VlUlc. - Desire for Continuance of , - Attacks Is Expressed. BY OSWALD F. SCHtTETTE. (War . Correspondent ot the Chicago Daily Jews.) BERLIN', Feb. 24 via London. Feb. iS. The German ' advance has now broken through the heavy French en trenchment north ,of Verdun to a point 4hree miles north of the outer forts and Fix miles from the citadel of the great fortress itself.' From details available It is seen that,' whether or not the French are able later to stem the tide, this is by :far the most important victory for the Germans on the west front since; last May, when they tried to crush the outer lines at 1 pres. , Heart of Prce Imperiled. If the movement is carried on so far s rpnllv to imDeril Verdun, it will be one of the greatest movements of the war. However, there is" no means 01 knowing -whether this t"is the great offensive that has been planned. Verdun is a most important strategic position and its faU would lay Dare the heart of France. Before I left Berlin for the east front ten days ago it was clear that various attacks along the western lines Indi cated that a big action was coming. Both sides were testing out each other to And the weak spots. Since that time the Germans have made successful at tacksvat Ypres, Kouchez, Verdun and in the Vosges, but nothing has been re vealed as to whether these are ' the real beginning of an offensive or whether some other point is still to be chosen. ' Attack May Be Only Blind. The situation is much like that on the Danube last October, when the Uermafis threV an attack all along the Russian lines, only to make the real assaults in the' Jeast likely place, the great citadel of Belgrade itself. So the Verdun offensive may be only a blind to cover real plans elsewhere. "The progress of the Crown Prince's army, however, is of greatest importance to the situation oh the west front. The French line of trencnes north of Verdun are really earth fortifications, reinforced with steel and concrete aad covering heavy artillery. There are interwoven barbed-wire barriers and miles of bomb-proof shelters. The place is said by the French to be im pregnable. - " Woevre Plain Likely Point. The French may be compelled to weaken their positions southland east of Verdun to reinforce . those , at the north. This would mean relief for the C'.erman armyholding.. the. Woevre plain 5st of Verdun and the Stl Mihiel sector between Verdun and TouL - ' It might enable the Germans to strengthen this wedge into the, French lines, which always- has seemed the one logical spot at which, to attempt to break through the French front. "The snow has not caused any dimin ution of the attacks, because they can not be suspended. They miist be con tinued to the end. The troops engaged would be unable to remain. idle long- in the territory captured while awaiting better weather conditions. A thaw would render their situation worse, and It must already be painful." out cessation to the east and to the west of the Meuse. To these attacks of the enemy our troops have- replied by counter attacks carried out) with vigor at the various points assailed on our front. "All the new attempts of the Ger mans In the region of Champneuville and on La Cote Deu Pouvre, where we are solidly established, have been re pulsed. "A furious, striggle has been in prog ress around Fort Douaumont, which is an advance element of the old defen sive organization qf Verdun fortress. The position captured this morning by the enemy, after several fruitless as saults, which cost him extremely heavy losses, was reached again and gone be yond by our troops, which all the at tempts of the enemy have not been able to push back. German, Aeroplanes Bronsht Down. "Todav. In the region of Verdun, Ad jutant- Nevarre, in a monoplane, beat down with a machine gun two German aeroplanes, this achievement making five enemy aeroplanes brought to earth by this pilot The enemy machines fell in our lines. Two aviators manning them were killed while two others were made prisoner. On the same day one of our sqnadrons, composed of nine bombing aeroplanes, dropped 144 shells on the Sablon railway station at Metz. Another of our aeroplane squad rons bombarded -the enemy establish ments at Chambley, northwest of Pont- a-Mousson." The Temps military review, which usually is written by General D la Croix, sums up the situation thus: The, battle .being fought 1s ex tremely serious. Even should the heights of Poivre and the Vauche Wood be taken, the enemy-would And us per haps- stronger - on . the.-Froideterree-Douaumont line, from which begins the defenses, properly speaking, of the for tress, covered with trenches and bat- ONLY 8B CANDIDATES YET OUT FOR OFFICE Republicans and Democrats Each Myst Nominate 143 at the Primaries.- REPUBLICANS TOTAL; 71 Representatives Hawley, Sinnott and McArthur Hold Back In Filing ',, Candidacies for Office; 4 Ont for Convention.

GENERAL- IN COMMAND French Censor Refuses to Pass News of Verdun's Defenders. PARIS. Feb. 26. The defense of Ver dun is believed to be under the direc tion -of General ,' who is command ing the group of armies of the east, seconded by General -1 , one of the youngest and most active French Gen erals, who took an important part in the battles of Lorraine before and dur ing the battle of tne Marae. Another of the commanding officers before Verdun is General , who, during the battle of the Marne, -was in charge of the artillery of the Sixth Corps; while the army of the German Crown Prince was making the first attack on the fortress. ' On this occa sion a rumor was circulated in Berlin that Verdun had been taken. The Gen eral placed three groups of three-inch ' guns in the Boze woods and permitted the German troops, who were over whelming the French infantry, to ad vance -until they reached an average distance of seven-eighths of a mile. . Then the three groups of field guns opened tire and checked the advance. The" losses of the Crown Prince's army on that day were estimated at 20,000. FRENCH RETAKE POSITION fOntlnnrJ From First Pace.) merits pushed on as far as the village and armored fort of Douaumont, which they carried by storm. "In the plain1 of the Woevre the enemy's resistance broke down along the entire front as far as the neigh borhood of Marphoville (Marcheville), south of the National high road from Paris to Metz. Our troops ane closely pursuing the retreating enemy. "The capture of the village of Champneuville, reported yesterday, was based on erroneous report." Paris Calm' In Crisis. Paris is extraordinarily calm in face of the great battle, according to a dis patch from tte French capital tonight. There are no indications' of tension or nervousness, but only sober confidence in the result prevails. The desire among those who know the defensive strength of the lines seems to be that the- attacks should continue, for, they argue, the losses on the German side would be in propor tion to their efforts. : There were few persons around the newspaper bulletin boards today and no crowds at the Ministry of War or other public offices! The whole front from the North Sea to Switzerland Is on the alert, and all leaves rrf a'osence have been recalled. The French maximum effort has not yet been made. The total French losses in killed, wounded and prisoners since the Verdun battle began, it was author- Itatlvely said tonight, have been less than the German official communica tion claims in prisoners. French Retrain Lout Ground. Tonight's official statement by the French War Office says: "In Champagne we completely re pulsed an attack y the enemy against - . salient carried by us to the south of te Marie-a-Py.

GER3IANS PAYING HIGH PRICK Correspondent Says British Time for Attack Has Not Come. LONDON. Feb. 26. A delayed dis patch from the correspondent of Reu ter's Telegram Company at British headquarters in the field, dated Thurs day, says that the Germans could not have chosen a more inopportune time for the offensive against Verdun. At the beginnings of the attack the weather-changed suddenly to the most severe Winter spell in several years, and the snow and frost seriously ham pers their movements. The great activity in tne xpres sal ient during the past fortnight, the dispatch says, was really in the nature of a- diversion. If the Germans had found it possible to push beyond the international , trenches, the fighting would have assumed the proportions of another battle of Yures. The defense. however, was .too strong to be swept through. Regarded as a feint, the op ration failed simply because-the Brit ish general staff was not deceived as to its true character. The Germans probably Improved their position southeast of Ypres and before Givenchy. Whether these Im provements are worth the price paid Is another matter. "Probably, ". the correspondent says, there is not a clear conception at home of the present phase - on this front. People may be saying that al though: there is talk of our ability to take the German first' line trenches whenever we like,' we never do so, but that the Germans occupy a bit of our front line whenever they make Up their minds to do so.' ' "The explanation lies right on tne surface- The British army Is not at tacking, yet. ,lt' may be necessary to develop a counter-stroke occasionally and, of course, it Is always necessary to go on' wasting enemy life diligently by tvevy possible means of trench attrition.-' But this leaves the general strategic situation unchanged. "The Germans, on the otner nana, are attacking because they feel the vital urgency for so doing. It is reasonable to conclude that the price they pay for such tactics is infinitely higher than the nrice they exact from the defense; If one side attacks the other suddenly under conditions of normal, disposition of troops, it probably will capture some length of trenches. Such a consequence may not sufficiently affect the local situation to call ror a vigorous re sponse. The situation cannot always be gauged by taking or yielding a kilo metre or two. There are places where either side would greatly strengthen its position by falling back were it not that the moral effect is such a strong influence In war." IOWA DEMOCRATS DIVIDED "Progressive" Element to Put Rival State Ticket In Field. V 7)KS MDINES, . Feb. 26. So-called Progressive Democrats of Iowa, who held an all-night conference, announced today they' would open headquarters in Des Moines and wage an open fight on the regular Democrats.

LINER SAILS UNARMED FREITCHMAX FIRST IX WAR KOJfB UNDER NEW CONDITIONS. Passengers Point to Absence of Guns as Warrant for Belief They Are Running; Into No Danger. v NEW YORK. Feb. 25. The French line steamer Lafayette, carrying 228 passengers and a general freight cargo, left here today for Bordeaux. The Lar ftfyette will reach, the war zone Fri day or Saturday of next week, the first passenger liner from the United States flying the flag of one of the entente allies to enter the zone after March 1.J the date that tiermany nas c, it. her submarine offensive against armed merchantmen. There were no guns to be seen. How ever, on the Lafayette. Nearly half of the passengers on the Lafayette had booked for the Espagne. but were transferred because of postponement in sailing of the latter vessel to permit repairs. - Although some. of those booked on the Espagne had received anonymous warnings that a mishap might befall that vessel, those who sailed today on hA Tjifavette rjolnted to the absence of guns on the liner as their safeguard. Saturday's War Moves THE French War Office iir its latest Official statement described the battle around Fort Douaumont, one of the outlvlnir fort3 ofi Verdun, as desper ate, but makes no actual. admission of the capture of the fort by the Germans as asserted In the official communica tion issued at Berlin. Fort Douaumont, says tne x rencii statement, is an advance element oi the old defense organization of the old Verdun fortress, and" it goes on to say that the- position captured Saturday nrorning by the Germans after several fruitless assaults was reached again by French troops, who succeeded In ad vancing beyond that point aid have maintained their ground. The position referred to is riot clearly defined. Heavy, bombardments by" the Ger mans to the east and west of the Meuse wort, met hv vigorous counter attacks and the French have resisted the at tempts of the Germans to capture Champneuville and La Cote de Poivre (Pepper mil), two posinuns w " gic importance. Late dispatches from Paris say that utmost confidence is felt there in the ability of the French troops to with stand the German assaults and in some quarters a continuation of the battle centering ' around Verdun for the next two 'Weeks is looked for,' - Hi'-,; The Man With a Rupture Is always in more or less danger UNLESS or,UNTIL it has been definitely, radically and permanently CURED by an operation, or made safe and comfortable by fitting a suitable TRUSS or BELT.

DOUBLE PURPOSE SERVED The", crown prince's armies engaged i in the terrific battle have naa uieir way blasted for them, according to correspondents near the scene, by what is said to be the greatest concentration of artillery fire known to history, in which the monster, guns of the Ger mans and Austrians, brought from the Serbian and Russian fronts, have plaved an important part. With trfis mighty aid, the Infantry has pushed down the valley of the Meuse, gained the hills southwest of Louvemont, not more than four miles from the fortress, and carried fortified positions to the east, 'Berlin declares, the Brandenburg regiments particular ly distinguishing themselves in storm ing Fort Douaumont. , - While this was going on, the Ger mans irt the Woevre were assailing the French lines on the eastern side of the salient, the two operations apparently being designed to push in' the sides of the projecting front, a DucKiing process which, if kept up, would soon result In the fall of the fortress. - i From Persia comes the Russian an nouncement that the important city of Kermanshah has been taken by storm by Russia's forces. Recent Petrograd advices have indicated an expectation that the southern movement ot this Russian army might eventually link it up with the British operation in neigh boring Mesopotamia. .The advance to Kermanshah places the Russian column within 150 miles of Kut-el-Amara on the Tigris, near which a British force is at present stalled in its march to the relief of , General Tawnsend's be leaguered army at Kut. In Albania the Austrians, are evi dently having things all their own way. particularly in . the territory as lar south as Durazzo.

'Fierce battle befog fought in Belgium trenches, ' Movement-Abned at Suppression of Hostile Natives and Effecting or Junction With Beleasnered British at Tigris. LONDON, Feb. 26. A Reuter dis patch from Petrograd says that the Russians have taken by storm Ker manshah, the important Persian city, in the neighborhood of which serious fighting- has recently taken place. An official dispatch from Teheran yesterday- said that after a series of battles in the mountain passes, as a result of which tha Russians captured a considerable quantity of booty, the Turks, who had been aided by Ger mans, had retreated toward Kerman shah. Kermanshah is 280 miles south west ot Teheran and has a population of about 30,000. The routes from Bag dad, Shuster, Ispaham, by way of Ham adan and Suleimaniyah, meet there and make the city an important center of traffic. The Russian operations in Persia, which have culminated in the capture of Kermanshah, have had the local purpose of putting an end to the activ ities of hostile mountain forces .and organized bands of Kurds, and it Is be lieved that they have the broader scope of preparing the way for a Junction of the Russians with the British expedi tionary forces in Mesopotamia. The movement of the Russians from Hamadan southwestward to Kerman shah brings them now to within 150 miles of Kut-el-Amara,- on the. Tigris, where General Townshend's British force, which was ascending' the river for the conquest of Bagdad, is besieged by the Turks. Auto Truck Victim Is Buried.
