Military activities In the vicinity of
Veidun in the month of February ere
described tn an official recital given out
In Paris tonight which reada as follows:
"The investment of Verdun always has
ben one of the objects of the German
general staff, and the measures they
have taken to this end have been both
costly and useless. The German offen
sive movement to the southeast of the
entrenched camp of the Meuse Was
checked at Ht. Mlhlel and the enemy
could not advance against the eastern
defenses of this locality.
"Along the heights of the Meuse the
line of battle has remained unchanged
for several months. When the Germans
moved forward they were successful In
gaining a foothold northeast Of Rt Ml
hlel. They occupied Vlgneulles and Hat
tonchatel and the forest of Montsgne.
Farther to the north, however, they could
not maintain their former gains, and later
French troops occupied the northern e
tremlty of the heights of the Meuje.
"At the village of Iesapargaa In a val
ley of the Meuse the enemy had taken a
strong position, but we were successful
In driving them front It In spite of their
fit res defense."
Continuing the recital says that the
attacks on lesaparges were begun by
sapping operations. This wss followed
by the explosion of mines and the ex
cavations thus msde were used by the
French soldiers as polnta of protection
while they waited for the artillery to
open the way. The fighting was marked
by hand-to-hand engagements of great
violence. In one trench along the Ger
mane' left 200 dead, survivors to the num-
b" of twenty-five surrendered. Attacks
and counter attacks on these positions
continued with rapidity.
The fighting finally came to an end
February 21 with victory for the French.
The losses of the enemy are estimated
at 3.000 men, being one-half of their total
strength engaged. .

Leiter Says Farmers
Sell Wheat Below
Cost of Production
NKW YORK, Feb. 2. Joseph Leiter,
noted wheat operator of fifteen years
ago, testified today at the state Inquiry
into the Increased cost of bread that
American farmers had long been selling
wheat for less than it cost. The farmer,
Mr. Leiter said, hus nothing to say con
cerning what price he shall receivev for
his product. Thnt Is usually done at the
terminal markets or ex -lmngcs, he added,
and the Liverpool exchange, as the lean
ing exchange of tho world, usually fixes
the price.
Mr. I-eiter said that although he had
been a heavy speculator In wheat In 1W
and 1898, he had not speculated In grain
since. He admitted he had not forgot
ten "any of the tricks of the trade" and
said he had been Interested in grain
since he was a boy.
"In. 1897 1 saw that wheat was selling
at less than cost," he said. "1 realised
that this could not go on. Being young
and not knowing as much as I do now,
I thought I'd make money by storing and
holding the commodity until I could sell
it at a profitable price.
"But my plans did not work I lost
money on It and the only ones to make
money were the farmers."
The production of wheut in this country
Is gradually being reduced, Mr. loiter
testified. The average farmer twenty
years ago devoted acres to wheat
growing, while today he devotes only loo
acres.
Attorney for Frank
Says Action in Case
Judicial Lynching
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. - Continuing
arguments before the supreme court to
day on the right of Leo M. Frank, con
victed of the murder of Mary Phagan,
the Atlanta. Ga.. factory girl, to release
on a writ of habeas corpus. Louis Mar
shall, representing Frank, took up alle
gations of mob violence at Frank's trial.
Mr. Marshall quoted from the state's brief
that "It appears that the agreement of
counsel that Frank not be present at the
reception of the verdict waa made In the
Interest of Frank and for his protection."
"For his protection against what?" de
manded Mr. Marshall. "Against the law?
Against the constitution? Against his
rights to a hearing on his trial? No.
For his protection against the conse
quences of laVlessness, of anarchy, of
mob domination. Our contention Is that
In consequence of the circumstances
which then existed, the effect of which
was recognised by tho presiding Judge,
law ceased to reign, terror ruled In Its
stead and fear sat trembling In the seat
of Justice. There was no longer a court,
no longer a trial and no longer did the
court have any more Jurisdiction over
the prisoner than If Judge Roan had been
driven from the bench by a mob. The
court had been superceded by a Judicial
lynching."
