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.

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.

mcnttofullialllwnys. had been given uv-

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.
