RUSSIANS IN KtRit
tives Aro Now 'Sinning alma;
Dune in March on treaded.
PETROGRAD, March 14n -it is of-
niettoUnced that the itusedane
have oceupied the town of Killed
Persia, in the direetion of leagdad.
Ruselan prestige ie ineresteleg
leaps and bounds. The fickle tribes
of Luria -tan, said to have been
bougnat over by the Germans, have
been impressed hy 'the eaptuen or t
Kermansbab and are now ythedine
submission te the Russians.
The Tiflis paper, Ray kaz, pubirshee
an Interview with the revel:till C'e.fe.
tured Turkish Ambaesador in Per-
sia, Assim Bey. Assim declared that
in his opinion Rusela possessed an
Inexhaustible power of resistauce.
The calculations of German diplo-
macy on a holy war in Persia, with
participation of the nomad tribes,
had proved an irreparable orror,
political mirage tbat would poen fade
away, Since there -were no German
or Turkish forces on the Persian
front and there was no likelibood
that they could be sent hither after
the Russian saceesses in Armenia,
On the Black Sea coast the Rus-
sian fleet keeps up a steady fire on
scattered detacbments of Turkisb
troops, and cruising along the coast
shells Turkish transport trains and
checks every effort to Wing up sue -
piles to the bard -pressed Third Ot-
toman army.
That the Turks are in desperate
straits is shown by the fact that In
spite of the presence of Russian war-
ships they persist in trying to trans-
port supplies along tbe open coast
road. The Russian ships sleen bridges
that span the river, now swollen lo
torrents because of the melting
snows, and so riake the final coastal
road impassable for the Turks. The
want of bridges, however, does not
impede the progress of the Russians,
who leave the fleet on their flank.
MUST PROPOSE PEACE.
Germany Must Move, and at Once,
Says Maximilian Harden. e
LONDON, March 14. -Maximilian
Harden is most outspoken in an ar-
ticle in Die Zukunft, which has been
received here. He makes a strong
demand for peaze, and urges that the
German Government start negotia-
tthns immediately.
"Germany," be says, "has heaped
victory upon victory. Upon her
therefore devolves the duty of mak-
ing an offer of peace. Such an offer
could only add to, and not diminish,
her prestige. It would be proof of
her strength, not weakness. Besides,
Germany must propose peace, be-
cause she is in need of peace. Ger-
many is victorious in the field, but in-
ternally she is beset -with difficulties.
We cannot deny that the prepara-
tions for the third harvest are more
difficult than for the second. We
do not yet leen meat, but we can no
longer procure certain raw mater-
ials.
"Meanwhile, our war expenditure
is increasing to an alarming extent.
At the end of three years of war we
should have lost every one of tbe
commertial markets wlaere we had
establisbed positions.' which were
seemingly unassailable..• .
"If Germany waits longer she will
find herself reduced to obey the will
eet,Z1191; • elitiliee. eiteallegeiateee. Mee- Jet:-
.cessary that she invite the world to
conclude peace. This invitation may
be interpreted as a sign of weakness,
but that matters little. If our offers
are declined we shall have fulfilled
the final clatty which our conscience
dictates toward Europe and toward
humanity."
MANITOBA GOES DRY.
Prohibition Measure is Passed by a
Majority of Two to One.
WINNIPEG, March 14. -By a vote
of a little over two to one the Pro-
vince of Manitoba yesterday voted in
favor of the Manitoba Temperance
Act, which closes all bars, wholesale
licenses and club licenses through-
out the province from June 3. next.
Liquor may still be imported by pri-
vate persons from outside provinces,
and the manufacture of liquor in the
province for export is still permitted.
These are the constitutional limita-
tions placed on the province in legis-
lation along this line by the Federal
authorities, but to remove these lim-
itations a mass meeting -of citizens
last night, amid great enthusiasm,
endorsed a resolution calling on Sir
Robert Borden and his Gover3a.ment
at Ottawa to introduce a Dominion -
wide Prohibition Act.
Bulgars Attack Ron.manians.
LONDON, March 14. -The Odessa
correspondent of The Daily Mail tele-
graphs; An !ngagement is reported
between Roumanians and Bulgarians
near Lokova (Rahovo?). A Bulgar-
ian frontier guard fired from trencb-
es on a Roumanian ship which was
loading a barge, on the Roumanian
zone. The Bulgarians signaled to an
Austrian gunboat, which ordered the
Roumanian vessels to the Bulgarian
shore. The Roumanians ignored the

The renewal of Russian activity

rikwa,
.deb
of the fourth, week in tho battle fez'
Verdun was ...shored in by greatly -in-
creased artillery fire both on the part
of the Teutons and Fronela At night-
fall the big guns were still vielug
with one another without pause or
•abatement. The day was monopol-
ized by artillery, and the ether wea-
ther was utilized by both sides for
aerial reconnaissance work, which
resulted io a number of battles, each
side claiming to have brought doWn
three maehin.es.
Yesterday's eetivity had all the
signs of e prelude to a new phase in
the contest foe the great French bar-
rier fortress. The Gerraan guns kept
battering the French defences north
of the atrongluncl and on both sides
of the Meuse.
There,wero, however'also signs of
a French intention' to launch a huge
counter-attack, particularly on the
Woevre plain, where the French ar-
tillery displayed unusual activity
throughout the day.
A Paris correspondent writes:
"To -day the military critics agree,
stating that the Crown Prince having
made such a stupendous effort at
Verdun he must continue the strug-
gl 3 on the same terrain, It is now
too late to undertake formidabie op-
erations involved in an eleventh -hour
change of plans.
• "The fascination of Verdun, whose
capture has so long been dangled be-
fore the eyes of the German people,
still rivets the Kaiser's son on the
banks of the Mouse, and he is now
preparing his third and most desper-
ate assault."
Two attacks were made by the
Germans Saturday night; one, ex-
ecuted by a sraall force armed with
hand grenades, was directed against
the woods adjoining the Cote du
Poivre. This attack was easily re-
pulsed. The second, made with ar-
tillery preparation against the re-
gion north of Eix, gave the Germans
a Small trench adjoining the Etain
road.
The German artillery directed.
heavy bombardments Saturday night
against the wooded hills south of
Ville and Bois, north of the Aisne;
on the Bethincourt region west of
the Meuse, and on the Dotiaumont-
Vaux line to the east of the river.
No effort has been made by the Ger-
mans to repeat the attack on the
Vaux plateau.
Further official details given Sat-
urday night of the infantry finbting
west of Donaumont that day show
that the Germans .euffered with ex-
treine severity in these encounters,
in which they were. able to make no
appreciable progress. Three attacks
were made in all. Each attack was
made by four lines of men. The
French artillery and machine guns
mowed down the lines as they came
on, and the ground was covered with
German dead.
Saturday morning the Ger/Rare'
made irele and strongeeteeiorto to
capture the Vaux positions. After a
prolonged bombardmeztt further in-
fantry attacks were made against the
village, and the Germans gained a
foothold in some houses to the east
of the village church. When an ef-
fort was made to continue these gains
to include the western part of the
village the Germans were driven bale
and the French were left in posses-
sion of the western part.
The Germans then turned their at-
tention to the Vaux Fort and were
able to make _some progress along the
slopes leading' to the fort, but failed
under the French fire to reach the
barbed wire entanglements.
The Germans made a spirited at-
tack on the French salient at Bois
des Buttes, near the Ville aux Bois,
northwest of Berry au Bac. Several
hours of preparatory artillery work
preceded the attack. French counter-
attacks drove the 'Germans from the
north-western and western extremity
of the wood, which the Germans had
won.
The Germans also won temporary
possession Saturday night of an
im-
portant communication trench on the
west side of the Meuse between Beth-
incourt and Chattancourt. The
French recovered the trench imine
lately by a counter-attack.
It was reported yesterday that
Colonel Meant, the hero of the dee
feriae of the Caures woods, who It
was feared, had been killed in the ace
tion, has beeu picked up by German
stretcher-bearers.
