It was not, however, followed by any actions of Infantry, according to the an- nouncement made by the French War Office this afternoon.

GERMAN DRIVE AT VERDUN ISHALTED FOR SECOND TIME Crown Prince’s Artillery, How- ever, Keeps Up Heavy Bom- bardment—Has Closed in on Flanks. LONDON, March 4—After ihe des- perate battiing cn the Douaumont plateau, in the renewal of the German drive for Verdun, there has come a second halt in the Intense struggle. Paris today announced that there had been a cessation of iafantry attacks by the Crown Prince's troeps, although his ar- tillery is still keeping up a heavy bom- bardment. The continusation of artillery activit may indicate a speedy renewal of the at- tack on the boporiant Cront northeast of the fortress, where the Vrench tines form a salient. The Dovaumont sector .6 pointed vut by French military tritles man purpose of taking the fortress Advances on Vianks. The importance of the German ac- tivities in other sectors is not over- looked, however. There have been ad- vanes, on both the French flanks, and indications ere furnished of contem- plated thrusts at vital points in the lines about the curving front, such as on the northwest line, where the dom- inating height of Le Mort Homme has beew under the fire of German heavy guna. The driving German assault on Ver- ‘gun was halted this time in the face of a formidable counter-attack by the French in an effort to retake Douavu- mont village, just captured by the Ger- mans.

PAPER DISHONORS ITSELF, TUMULTY SAYS, IN HINTING PRESIDENT WOULD RESIGN Condemas Circulation of Such a Rumor at This Critical Time—New York Evening Sun Said Executive Might Quit or With- draw Candidacy. WASHINGTON, March 4.—Aroused by the publication of reports yesterday that President Wilson, because of the European war strain, was about to resign from the office, the White House today issued this forma! statement: “When Secretary Tumulty’s attention was called to the story appearing in certain papers that the President had resigned or was considering resigning, he said: “*An American newspaper that would publish a story of that kind in a situa- tion like the one which now confronts ‘America dishonors itself.’ ”’ What the Evening Sun Printed. The Evening Sun, in New York, yes- terday published the following special dispatch from Washington: “To the Strain under which President Wilson has been fulfilling the duties of his office, Congress leaders attribute taany of the distressing conditions of the past week or two. The strain under which he has labored—such as only one ether President has had to endure—| has been suspected without its full sig- nificance being appreciated by the coun- try. | “The burdens heehas borne and the criticisms to which the President has reacted ,acutely have caused him to discuss with some of the leaders of his party the advisability of one of two courses of action—resigning the presidency or serving formal notice on his party that he will not accept renomination. “The fact that tne President has considered the possibility of resign- ing is known to very few, but the probability of his retiring from the race for the renomination, unless leertain conditions assert themselves within the ranks of the Democratic party, is known generally to admin- istration leaders in Congress. “agreement With American People.” “No matter what condition arises, the President has been advised not to resign his office. His most trusted, friends believe that such action would eternally reflect upon the President's official and pohkitical career.-.It has been pointed out to him that his agreement when he took the presi- dency was not with the Democratic party, but with the American people. “The President's refusal to become u party leader once more is, on the other ee ee hand, regarded as a proper party ac- counting and one within the Presi- dent’s determination. “But certain advisers of the Presi- dent have been no less than shocked at the suggestion that he resign his office in a certain contingency. Men who have the President’s confidence believe that such a course would be regarded by the American people as uothing less than a betrayal. “Even under certain party conditions, which it is admitted might arise, it is not expected that the President would act upon his inclination to resign. "Those who are aware that he has considered the matter believe that his judgment. rather than his impulse, would pre- vail when under calmer circumstances he reflects upon the ultimate results of abandoning the office. Story of Alleged “Conspiracy.” “The possibility of the President’s deciaring he will not be a candidate is ic a different class. Such a declarz- tion may come at any time, if the Democrats do not forthwith stand by his policy and support his adminis- tration. “The President is informed that men who go to the White House as leaders of Congress, among them men who are not Known publicly to be op- posed to him, are back of a con- Spiracy to overthrow his administra- tion’ and to ruin his political future. “If the Democratic party follow its chosen leader, dent believes it is time the party lected another leader. The problems of administering affairs under such difficulties as these, the President has declared, are enough, without the backhanded action of those who ought to give him ungrudging support. Sun’s Version of His Views. “His view is, of course, that foreign affairs must be handled almost exclu- sively as an executive function; that he knows more of what is going on and what cireumstances must be met than those inside or outside of Con- gress. “He believes that he ought to b2 allowed to conduct critical diplomatic negotiations and such duties as are reposed in him under the Constitu- tion and his oath of office, without heckling criticism from his own party in _C zongress..

WASHINGTON, Mareh 4.—The Sen- ate army bill was introduced today by Chairman Chainberlain of Committee.

POLICE SERGEANT | AILLS A WATCHMAN Wri HAD SHOT HIM Telephone Employe First Held Up Man in Street, Presum- ably as a Prank. DRAWS ON POLICEMAN Fires at Close Range and Is Slain at Eighth and Clark Avenue. George A. Benton, of 49684 Delmar boulevard, an unlicensed watchman for the Bell Telephone Co., was shot and killed by Police Sergeant Joseph Gerk, head of the traffic squad, at $:30 a. m. today after he had shot Gerk in the right thigh with an automatic pistol at Kighth street and Clark avenue. Gerk is at the city hospital. Benton's identity was not known at the time of the shooting, but he was identified later by a special agent for the telephone conTpany, who said Ben- ton formerly was janitor at the Forest Exchange and. recently was made watch- man at the company’s downtown office im the Equitable Building.

A. W. Wood, at Mayors’ Con- ference, Says Germany Could Decoy Navy South. LAST DAY OF MEETING Important Resolutions to Be Submitted and Banquet at Jefferson Tonight. The final day’s session of the Mayors’ Confererice or National Defense began at 10 o’clock this morning at the Plan- ters Hotel. The closing session is dur- ing the afternoon, when important reso- lutions will be adopted. At 7:30 p. m. there will be a banquet at the Jef- terson Hotel, at which there will be cistinguished speakers. At the morning session Henry A. Wise Wood, former member of the Na- val Consulting Board, spoke on “The Wisdom and Ethics of Preparedness.” Discussing the wisdom of preparedness he sald in part: “Where the fundamental policies ot two nations conflict, there is bound to be friction,and where there is friction eventually there may be war. It Is uw fact that our Monroe Doctrine, whicn has forbidden European nations to colo- nize in this hemisphere, is in conflict with the colonial policy of the German empire, as may easily be verified by a perusal of the words of German econo- mists. As neither nation probably will surrender its policy, we find here a point of contact at which danger may arise, Wisidon. therefore dictates that ‘f we intend to enforce the Monroe Doc- trine we provide ourselves with a navy sufficient for quick and effective use uw the doctrine be attacked. Our Exclusion Policy. ‘Our Asiatic exclusion policy, as prac- tised on the Pacific Coast, conflicts with the national policy of Japan, which nation insists that its citizens every- where shall be received upon a footing of equality with those of the other first powers. Thus, if we intend to main- tain our exclusion policy, it will be necessary for us to have a navy suf- ficiently large to enforce it if chal- lenged. “If it so happens that the Monroe Doc- trine and our exclusion policy be chal- lenged simultaneously by the nations affected, it will be necessary for us to have a navy large enough to defeat the world’s second naval power in the At- lantic, and the world’s fifth naval power in the Pacific. At the present moment we could defeat neither the two to- gether nor the first alone, having long since lost to Germany our position of superivrity. Fear of Germany. Germany, with her superior fleet, to make a feint towards South America, and thus draw our fleet in that direction, the remainder of her fleet could safely convoy to our shores the 82;,000 troops which our géneral staff has stated can be landed here in 4 days, when we should suffer the out- rage of invasion. “Tf, on the other hand, our fleet were retained in northern waters to protect us, then Germ@ny could easily estab- lish herself in South or Central Amer- ica, from which it would be next to impossible to drive her. The possibility illustrates the imperative need of our having at all times a fleet large enough to cover the Atlantic and the Pacific as well, for if Japan were to co-operate with Germany we should there have te deal with the fleets of that nation, or suffer invasion of our western coast.”’ “Were Ethics of Preparedness. On the ethics of preparedness, eneaker said: ‘That preparedness has its ethical side John Fisk has shown. He nas said that the closest approach to a condition o? perpetual and universal peace that it is possible to attain among nations can b2 when the preponderance ot military power has been gathered ‘nto the hands of the pacific peoples. 't is obvious that our own form of civiliza- tion, as well as the forms of civilization enioyed by the other pacific nations are in jeopardy so long as the machinery o! compulsion remains whoily tn the i:ands of those bent upon conquest. “So it is apparent that humanity ard the preservation of righteousness throughout the world, no less than our own security, require that we shall do ont part to redress the balance of power which too long has been permitted ito lie with the warlike nations.”’ Frederick L. Huldekoper, Washing- ton, D. C., speaking on “Military His- ory and Poltcy,” said that our his- torics and school books had cleverly hidden the true facts about America’s wars, and until a few months ago no history existed that told the truth about our wars. “The volunteer sys- tem,” he said, “was the best system of shirking known. Obligatory servy- ice should no more be avoided than the paying of taxes. No one takes up arms against t payment of taxes. The American race ig about the last to adhere to the volunteer system.” Gen.

BRYANS ARRIVAL NI CAPITAL CAUSES A FLURRY IN HOUSE Has Says Visit Is for Lect#re; Nothing to Do With War Question. WASHINGTON, J. Brya: came here today to fill lec- ture engagement, and there was some speculation as to whether his presence had anything to do with the decision of the administration leaders to post- pone action in the House until Tues- day, at least. Bryan said his coming here had noth- ing to do with the armed ship fight now in progress between Congress and the President. “T expect to York. My March 4.—W. a leave tonight for New lecture was arfanged for weeks ago. I have no engagements to see any Congressmen and do not ex- pect to see any.’ Flurry in the House. News of Bryan's arrival caused xu flurry on the House;floor. Representa- tive Bailey, Democrat, his close per- sonal friend and sympathizer in G@on- gress, met him and Bailey said they discussed the warning resolution situa- tion. While Bailey insisted that Bryan would take no active part in the fight, administration leaders in his presence cause for concern. Their interest was further when it was learned that Mr. Bryan expects to returh tomorrow an remain until Monday night when he speaks in Wilmington, Del. . Bailey said he would see Bryan night and probably again Monday. Majority Leader Kitchin and others who are generally classed as Bryan Democrats, insisted that thev had not heard from Bryan. Administration leaders expressed confidence that no influence’ that Bryan might bring to bear would de- feat the President's determination. Can't Tell Vote, Bailey sald he assured Bryan that at heart there was an overwhelming majorit yin Congress favorable to the arning resolution, but that he made no prediction as to what the vote would be. “Of course, Mr. Bryan is interested, just as any other citizen is interested in the McLemore resolution, but he cer- tainly will not come to the Capitol, and make a pérsonal fight on it, Bailey said. His attitude toward the Senate action yesterday was one of amusement. He referred to it laughingly.
