GERMANS PLAN
A NEW BLOW
-A
Concentrate Troop* At Ypre* for
V I
Crushing Blow Against Allies
—Artillery Attacks.
!
PARIS, Feb. 1.—The Germans plan
another attack upon the Allies lines
near Ypres. At that point they have
concentrated a large number of
■troops for a heavy blow upon the
trenches. Many attacks have been
made near Ypres during the day, but
have all been repulsed with losses
to the enemy.
Artillery Starts Fireworks.
As has been the custom In this
war the trenches are always shelled
by shrapnel before the infantry at
tacks. The Germans started the bat
tle at daybreak with a cannonading
the like of which has never been
Jtnown in warfare. The concentrated
fire of hundreds of big guns and al
so a large number of the big Krupp
siege guns, which are now so fa
mous because they came into the war
without the knowledge of the French
and English ordnance department, in
spite of the large amounts of money
spent each year for secret service
work and consequently left the Al
lies with no guns similar to them
to resist the attacks, and following
the bombardment with a fire from
the machine guns and then the in
fantry attacks, which are made up
on the trenches weakened by losses
of men from the effects of the artil
lery fire, gave the Germans no gain.
Attacks Along Aisne.
The Germans have also continued
the bombardment of the French
trenches along the Aisne river. They
have, however, made no gains.

SENATE HOLDS
LOHG SESSIOH
Upper Chamber In Continuous Ses
sion for 37 Hours—Fighting the
Ship Purchasing Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The Sen
ate took a recess late Saturday night
until this morning following the ses
sion of thirty-seven hours with two
Republican senators holding the floor
and determined to prevent the ad
ministration ship purchasing bill from
coming to a vote. The Democrats
have succeeded in having the bill
made the unfinished business of the
Senate and It can be taken up and
voted at any time provided the Re
publicans surrender the floor which
they, however, refuse to do.
Senators Smoot and Sutherland, of
Utah, were the two senators who
held the flloor for thirty-seven hours,
blocking all efforts of the majority
to bring the measure to a vote. The
rules of the Senate allow for the de
lay In legislation and if the Repub
licans can continue to hold the meas
ure up for a few days the majority
will surrender in order to get the
appropriation bills passed before the
present session of congress ends on
March 4th.
Senators Root and Lodge are still
to be heard from and they are en
gineering the fight against the bill,
claiming that it is not the function
of government to enter the interna
tional transportation business and op
erate steamers between the United
States and foreign countries.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The fight
over the shipping bill was resumed
this morning as soon as the Senate
reconvened. The leaders of the ad
ministration in the upper house an
nounced today that the fight would
be continued until one side or the
other weakened. The Democrats hope
to force the bill tio a vote in spite
of the work of Root, Lodge, Smoot,
Sutherland and other Republicans.
The Senate will remain in continuous
session day and night. The Repub
licans will remain on duty, sleeping in
chairs and watching the Democrats,
forcing them also to remain in the
Senate chamber. Day and night the
fight will continue unless one side
or the other, weakened by the strain,
gives in.
FRANK'S USE TO
HIM COURT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The su
preme court has granted a rehearing
to Leo Frank; of Atlanta, Ga„ who is
under conviction of death. The case
was sent to .the supreme court by Jus
tice Lamar himself a citizen of Geor
gia. The case will be heard by
the entire court on Feb. 23. Some
of the best constitutional attorneys
in the country have been retained
by friends of Frank to defend him,
and the Jews of America are determ
lined; that one of their race shall
not be convicted just because he is
a Jew and insist that they be giv
en as fair a trial as that accorded to
any other class of citizens.
