LONDON, Feb. 29.-With the lessen-
ing of the activity of the contending forces to north of Verdun the French in the Woevre region, east of Verdun, are using their artillery to break up the German preparations for further advances towards the fortress. At ,various points the ilre_of the French guns has prevented the Germans from launching ofienslves. In the Vosges mountains there has been great artil- lery activity by the French near Senones and Ban-de-Sapt, while neur Seppois the Germans have been driven out of trenches they had previously taken. ln Champagne German forti- fied works in the region of Hill 193 have been battered by French guns, and the crater of a mine exploded by the Germans has been occupied by the French.
Tho Germans added scvcral addi-
tional points to their train in the iight- ing about Vcrdun. having been enabled
’to construct trenches on the slopes
north of Cote du Poivre and to cap- ture armourod works north'-tvest of Douamout. They have taken the ruins of Manhoulles and Champion, thirteen miles south-cast oi' Vcrduui ln this drive to the east of Verduu the atl- vance of the Germans has extended over a front of virtually twelve miles fi'tih1 Dieppe to Champion. _
Berlin reports that thus far they
have taken prisoner 228 ofllccrs, 16,575 men, a large number of guns, mnclltnc guns uud much war material. There has been considerable artillery»uctlvity~ and lights in tho air between bui- talions of German and British aviators along tho Britisll front in Frande and Belgium.

PETROGRAD, Feb. 29.-The official
report tonight declares Russian troops in thc vicinity of Garhunovku and north oi’ the Pouiewesch railway. have driven back Gcnnan troops. On thc Black Seo altussiun destroyer dis- peiscd at convoy proceeding along ut short road. The exact number of Turkish prisoners tukcn in Erzcrutn is now known to be 14.988 officers and ntcn. Thousands of other Turkish soldiers have pcrlshcd from lighting or front cold. and as n result of that victory tho Turkisli forces opposing us are practically disposed of with the exception of a few wandering units of little or no effectiveness.
ln the Dvinsk region in Russia, the
Russians have driven the Germans back and advanced their line. and put down undcr heavy flrc auattompt at a _counter-attack.
in a lengthy statement her ropiy to
an oflicial communication issued from Constantinople the Russian General Stal! describes the powerful- -defences which guarded. Erzerum. and declares that the force of the blow dealt by thc Russians may bc estimated by tho fact that some of the Turkish army corps of three divisions each now number only a few thousand men, all the re- mainder having either perished or been taken prisoners. Details arc lacking concerning the disaster to the French auxiliary cruiser, Provence. which has been lost in tho Mediterranean, while tha French ministry of marine esti- mates the number of survivors at 870 no estimate is made of the casualties.

N_o_ Amendment
slilon to Tax Pr
(From our Own Correspondent.) 0-’l`TA\VA. Feb. 29.-The Budget
debate terminated early this morning after occupying the better part of two weeks. The Opposition abandoned any idea of crystalizlng their desire for an increased tax instead of the business tax proposed by the Govern- ment. No amendment was moved and the Finance Minister's motion that the House go into Committee of Ways and Means was adopted without a vote. ' An, important contribution to thc debate was made by Hon. Arthur Meighen, Solicitor-General, who dealt particularly with the question of nickel exports. Mr Meighen made thc definite statement that not at pound of Canadian nickel went to Germany after thc outbreak of war. Mr Mcigh- en replied to Liberal charges, particu- larly that of J. G. Turrif oi’ Assinaboia. that tho Government iinvofslled to coilsvrvc Canadian nickel for the Allicts and had stood in with thc lluns. The Solicitor-General explained tho steps which the Government had taken, with the full approval ot` thc lmpcrial authorities. Mr Graham Bell. Comptroller of Finance of the Depart-
mcnttofullialllwnys. had been given uv- c
ticket Company. b-ir Mcighen follow- d Holi. Frank Oliver, whose spcr\.clt$

cleared up thc nickel situation and had presented to the l-louse facts in refu tation of sundry other Opposition 1statements. Mr E. M. Macdonald oi Picton took the floor and, delivered an angry speech, in the course of which he showed a curiously intense hostility to the proposed business tax. Mr Macdonald`s assertions were such as to evoke frequettt corrections from the Finance Minister. The Picton member condemned the tax as class legislation, as conflscatory and as likely to react upon labour. He charged that war revenues raised last year had been spent ln wasteful ad- ministration and predicted that this your would seo more of the same thing. lic saw a large variety ot' dangers arising from the new tax. tin: paralysis of thc mining industry being one of them. `
Other speakers were Sir Herbert
toon, Mr W. l‘. MacLean and Mr Ethier. Sir Herbert Amos announded that the Patriotic Fund would now find it necessary to go to the Government for aid this year.
