London, April 1. Again shifting his attack to the
Meuse east bank, the German crown prince gained a foot

man artillery was conducting a terrific bombardment of
the Malancourt-Bethincourt salient.
German guns are bombarding the Verdun-Paris rail
way from Avocourt woods, six miles to the north, Paris
dispatches declared today. It is believed this is a prelude
to a drive on the railroad and a general assault northwest
of Verdun. , .
Aeroplanes, escorted by armored fighting air machines
of the Fokker type, are circling over the tracks, signaling
to the crown prince's gunners, giving the range and tell
ing the effect of the shots. These crafts are constantly
being attacked by French flyers, which have succeeded in
driving them away several times.
The German capture of Malancourt puts French forces
west of the Meuse in imminent peril. The Germans are
expected to follow up their present advantage with
massed attacks on Bethincourt. Experts believe the
Teutons will renew the smash against Avocourt woods as
soon as sufficient artillery has been brought up.

the Germans in large forces

Dutch Government Aroused
Over Sinking of Tubantia
Spain Too, Angry
London, Apr. l.-The Dutch parlii
ment has summoned a special session
for Sunday to consider the sinking of
the Dutch liner Tubantiu, supposedly
by a German submarine, Copenhagen
dispatches asserted today.
The Dutch-German situation was re
ported critical today, following a meet
ing of the highest army officers and
navy leaders, which lasted all day yes
terday. .Railways were reported com
mandeered anil furloughs cancelled. Ow
ing to the disablement of cables by
storms, it was impossible to verify
these reports. All dispatches were sent
via Copenhagen.
It was saiil the German minister had
assured The Hague government "that a
German submarine could not have tor
pedoed the Tubantia.
Spain to Join In Protest. 1
Madrid, Spain, Apr. 1. The Spanish
ministry has voted to protest to Ger

by an explosion which damaged the
channel steamer ussex and caused a
heavy loss of life. Spanish eonsulry re
ported that the vessel lud been torpe
doed. Market Was Stronger
But Fluctuations Light
New York, April 1. The New York
Evening Sun's financial review today
said:
The market responded to the more
favorable overnight Mexican news with
a generally stronger opening, but trad
ing was narrow and activity confined
to a relatively few issues. Naturally,
properties associated with Mexico were
most conspicuous.
Mexican Petroleum opened wide :rf
advances ranging from 1 .1-8 .to 2 -IS.
American Smelting and Iiefiniug start
ed at 1 1-4 higher. Steel was heavy at
the outset. Iiaihvays twero neglected
but conspicuous specialties like Cruci
ble Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and In
dustrial Alcohol were improved.
As far as could be determined from
outward observation there was no
change in the character of the trading.
Short covering influenced by pool oper
ations was chiefly responsible for the
early strength. The short session mili
tated against any very extensive, par
ticipation of outside interests.
Although the submarine question lost
force by the effect of the" administra
tion's announcement that it intended
to defer action util it was possible to
thoroughly investigate the Sussex and
other cases, the situation continued to
restrain trading.

Leaders See In This An At
tempt To Hand Roosevelt
the Nomination
Washington. April 1. Republican
leaders today agreed that the luncheon
at which Robert Bacon, former secre
tary of state, entertained Theodore
Roosevelt, F.lihu Root and others in
New York yesterday was for the an
nounced purpose of discussing prepared
ness. "Preparedness for what!" several
leaders asked, however.
Root is the man who the progressives
accuse of rushing through the program
whereby Roosevelt was defeated for the
presidential nomination at the repti'1
can convention of J012. The fact that
Roosevelt aud Root lunched together
gave rise to a report that a movo was
afoot to make Roosevelt the regular
republican cau'didatc this year.
"The luncheon was interesting, and
now we are sure that the colonel will
be a candidate for the republican nomi
nation, said Senator Gallingor today. "I
have known it for months. But he will
never -succeed. The republicans will
nominate a man who can be elected.
There is n widespread feeling that
Roosevelt is not that man."
"This means' that the republican
party is drawing together," declared
Senator roindox.r. "It will l.ave a
patriotic and progressive platform and
a really progressive lender, very like
ly the colonel himself. Henry Allen, nf
Kansas; McCormick, of Chicago, and T.
0. Disney, of Ohio, attended the lunch
eon. They are real progressives."
Senator Borah said: "The meeting
looks as if there were prepjaredness
for peace as well as for war within the
party."

liner Chiyo Maru were s.ifely landed at i
Hong Kong after the steamer ran

of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha today anx
iously awaited word as to the d.unuge
done to the vessel. The Chiyo was re
ported to have been floated, and sue
will probably be towed to llong Kong
where an examination can be made. '
According to messages received at
the local offices, a British destroyer as
sisted in removing p.issengers. There
was no panic.
One message here said that tho re
turn sailing of the Chiyo Mara would
be "delayed." This gave rise to a
belief that she was not seriously dam
aged. If il is not practicable to bring her
iu to llong Kong at once, her bagg.ige
ami cargo will probably have to lie re
moved li v lighters.
