A Ton Per Man

A Ton Per Man
 From Tit-Bits.
 , For every man killed in battle one ton of cannon balls is required Although this was an old theory in the days of the flint locks and muzzle leaders, 1t is known fact today General Rohne of the Ger man army has proved this to be true by a careful study of statistics on the Bat tie of Kiauchau. which preceded the siege of Port Arthur during the Russo Japanese war. tE4
 In this battle the Russians killed were 1475 officers and men. The Japanese loss numbered 4204 officers and men. The Japanese discharged 40.150 cannot shots and 1000 900 rifle cartridges, while the Rus. sian forces fired 736.0 .000 cartridges and 77sO' cannot shots.
 Eighteen per cent of the losses were caused by artillery and S2 per cent by small arms According to General Rohne, it took 105 cannot balls or PA cartridges to kill each Japanese. and 1ol cannon shots or 333o rife cartridges to kill each Russian. The cannon balls used by the Japanese had an average weight of H2 pounds 6 ounces. and the rife cartridges discharged by them weighed 162 grains. Therefore it appears that about 200 pounds of steel and lead in the form of cannon balls, or : pounds in the form of cartridges. was required to kill each Itus- alan lost in that battle.

of heartache, supplies the theme of Mar garet Delands compelling and cheerfully lifelike story. ''rhe Hands of Esau. Un- der the attractive surface interest of the
 tale, with it's youthful ioyousness. it's warm domesticity. it's intimate pleasan- tries. one feels the tension of situa- tion in which the weight of a hair may turn the scales for misery or joy. One gets a glimpse of pitfalls for the happy and of the ironies fate may have in store for the well-intentioned.
 There was nothing against Tom Vail nothing that one wouldn't be ashamed to let influence ones opinion. It is true that he had left his first position after scrimmage with his employers son and that he didn't tell this to his second em- ployer. But that was only natural Tom was a hard worker, and, besides MT. Nor gan, the architect into whose office he had come as a draftsman, liked him Der sorally. So did every one else-including MT. Morgan's daughter, Nina. Nina, in fact, was hopelessly in love before her father suspected anything Wher he did find out, there were family councils, O. which the upshot was that Nina's uncle, the judge, called on Toms mother and learned the truth-Tom's father had died in prison, having been sentenced for particularly villainous embezzlement. But the boy knew nothing of this disgrace. Of course. Nina had to be told. but she simply said that. just to show her faith, she wouldn't tell Tom until after they were married Then, by the merest ac- cidcnt, Tom learned the secret his mother had kept from him all his life, and the shoe was on the other foot.
 One can't help liking Tom tremendous ly and feeling ready to pardon him a slight slip, for in a few pages he has be- come a very real person, a well-liked acquaintance. But the fault of not telling Nina would be fundamental Subtly and unerringly the author shows the work ing of Vails mind and heart. and leads up to a conclusion one can't help agree ing with. The story Is warm with a healthy glow of young life; it carries as much appreciation of happiness-thet kind
 that makes the blood flow swiftly and the nerves tingle-as 1t does understanding of the stern laws on which happiness de- bends.

most of the German lines, II was said
redemptions were promptly made by

CHEERFUL
UNDER FIRE At L|EGE
Sculptor Tells How Soldiers in
Trenches Picked Off Ene-
mics as They Advanced.

BRUSSELS. Aug. Il CBy Mail to New
York).-A Belgian sculptor. who an
swered the call to the colors, today told
how he and several companions mar
rowly escaped death in a barn during
recent fighting about Liege. He said
the Belgian troops in the trenches were
In the best of spirits throughout the
fighting, and would pick out their
enemies as the Germans approached and
divide them among themselves.
THE tall Goliath is mine" one man
would cry out. "Ill take the sausage to
his right" another would reply. and
they seldom missed.
The sculptor said that after hours Of
fighting one of his companions, an
artist, was wounded in the shoulder.
81 helped him to a barn near by the
sculptor declared. Some tired soldiers
and a farmer were there. and my com
panion was resting on the stair when
the Germans forced their way TO tho
barn.
bullets whizzed about and the barn
was set on fire by the enemy. We knew
that to leave the barn meant death In
a hail Of lead and TO remain meant be-
ing burned alive. One of them shouted
that he would surrender. Another said
he would blow his brains out rather
than become a prisoner.
THE farmer was the only one who
kept q cool head. He saw a narrow
chink in the wall and began widening
IL. We helped him and all managed to
squeeze through. The Germans were
not on this side OF the barn. and we
crept toward a wood near by, where we
were safe"

DESPITE REVERSES
Embassy Here, in Statement,
Declares Allies, Now En-

The French army stiIl holds Altkirch
and Muelhausen; the allies following a
defeat by the Germans have estab-
lished themselves at q point west Of
the pAce where the great battle was
fought, and France and England are
not in the least disheartened by the
reverses, 1t was officially stated at the
French embassy today. Official dis
patches from Paris to the embassy
brought this information
The allies originally assumed an Of
fensive position, II was stated, and this
failed. A line of retreat was found
necessary, and entrenchments to the
west of their original position were set
up. On the dispatches to the embassy
the names Of all generals and cities
are left out)

that France believed Germany has

that the allies have not yet been forced
out of Belgium, and that there Wouio

One reason the allies were not VIC

Rium, the embassy said. was because
France and England never thought any
nation would violate the neutrality OF
Belgium. Nothing was considered more
sacred. 1t was said, but Germany threw
IL to the wind.
Some time ago, when France feared
Germany might disregard this neutral

France began to fortify cities and
towns along the Belgian border. So far
the work has progressed extensively
