FIELDS ARE cHoKED WITH
BODIES OF SLAIN SOLDIERS
By LuclEN ARTHUR JONES.


Dunkirk-I am writing this dis
patch to the sound of heavy rife firing
in the streets of this town. A German
Taube just now was flying above us
and receiving its customary salute OF
bullets. 1t finally disappeared in the
direction of Ostend without doing or
receiving any damage.
This is the second aerial call the
Germans have paid Dunkirk today.
About nine o'clock this morning a
Taube lowered over the town for
considerable period. The aviator paid
dearly for his temerity, for his ma
chine was badly damaged by shot and
he was forced to descend outside the
town, only to find himself and the ma
chine Immediately captured.
The Taube has been led In triumph
through the streets Of the town.
Naval Guns RepuIse Germans.
1t now appears certain that the Ger
mans have been shelled out of their
positions at Ostend. Small parties,
however we're reported to be in the
town itself this morning.
The bombardment by the British
and French naval guns of the Ger
man right wing resulted in clearing the
coast from Newport to Ostend of the
enemy for distance Of several miles.
In the interior the Germans are re-
ported to be demoralized and the re-
ply of their artillery for once is sadly

Splendid work has been done here
by the British Red Cross detachment,
which formerly was at Client in
charge of DR.. Hector Munroe.
German Dead Cover Field.
A member of the staff has told me
that the fields in the neighborhood OF
Furness and Dixmude we're choked
with German dead. So desperate has
the fighting been that the Germans
left in hurry without a thought of
burying their dead or assisting their
wounded.
While he was in Dixmude German
shell struck the house in which were
resting 27 Belgians and not one OF
them escaped death.

Portugal Involved in War.
1t is reported that Germans have in,
vaded Angola, one of Portugals Afri-
can possessions. This invasion was
not unexpected, for Portugal had de-
clared her intention of helping the
allies, and, in view of the possibility
OF a German attack on her colonies,
had sent re-enforcements to her gar
rlsons. Portugal, if the report of the
German invasion is true, is the ninth
nation to be drawn into the general
European war

FOES HIDDEN IN TRENCHES
FIGHT DAY AND NIGHT
By KARL Il. Won wIEeAND.

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondence
st. Mihiel, France.-Fighting day
and night from deep trenches whose
wonderfully effective entanglements
of barbed wire, steel sharp-pointed
rods and sharp-pointed stakes almost
touch the thousands of men compris-
ing the German left and the French
opposing wing seldom see each other.
Probably never before has there
been staged a battle so theatrically
set as is the present. The line of
battle runs wave-shaped for miles
through dense forests, over and around
high hills and across deep valleys
traversed with fast-running streams
of water.
The French stubbornly contest every
attempt of the Germans to advance.
Lines of trenches are extended
foot at a time. The thousands on
each side dig themselves in like field
moles. They cover their every move
ment Even the guns are hidden and
their location cannot be ascertained
by the opposing forces, as their
smokeless powder leaves no trace.
Visible to Aviators.
And In the open country the
trenches are so constructed as to be
Invisible to an aviator unless he flies
very low. When he does fly low he
seldom returns to report. But there
are always volunteers on both sides to
attempt it They go out and most of
them are killed. A few are captured
alive and they are treated with the
consideration their daring demands.
The Germans have occupied st.
Mihiel and are holding 1t and the ter
ritory adjoining, although they are
still subjected to a heavy artillery

cerned way. They express no curl
osity. Familiarity with danger has
in this case bred feeling Of utter
contempt for it.
Now Seek verdun Forts.
The reports that the Germans were
making an assault in force on Toul
and Nancy are erroneous. For the
present their chief objective is the
smaller line of forts along the Mouse
line from Toul to Verdun. These are
Troyon, Genecourt, Les Paroches,
Camp de Romans, Lonville, Giron-
Vile and ury-sous-les-Cotes. The
first to fall was st. Mihiel, and sew
eral Of the others are reported in diff
f1culties. In addition, the lombard
ment of Verdun continues, and some
of the outer works have already been
reduced.
Aviator Escapes Death.
While passing through vervinay
witnessed daring piece of work by
a French aviator. Under cover of a
fog he had swooped down on the
German trenches and had located a
number Of them before he was dis
covered. Although the German artil-
lery fairly rained shrapnel around his
fleeing plane he mounted almost
straight up and finally escaped to his
own lines.
/ was able to spend on entire day
in the German trenches which have
been constructed to prevent the
French armies with headquarters at
Toul and Nancy attempting f1anking
attack In one of the trenches the sol
diers had organized singing society.
The whole scene was wonderfully pic
turesque. A thick fog hid the French
trenches 800 yards away. The ghost
like figures of the greenish gray-clad
figures in the trenches were strangely
silhouetted in the mist. Occasionally
the thunder of the guns would punctu-
ate the choruses. The singing was
remarkable, as many of the soldiers
had trained voices. Some stood at at
tention. Others had their hands tight
ly clasped in the attitude of prayer.
They sang, TITS the Day of the Lord
and "My vaterland; Beloved Water
land" chiefly.

Wolf Packs Attack Soldiers.

Rome.-A dispatch from Cettinje
says: "a close watch at night is nee
essary at the military camps, not only
because Of the fear of the enemy, but
on account of the dread Of wolves,
which, when the first snow covered
the mountain tops, began to descend
and wander in rapacious bands at
lacking the living If they cannot find
dead"

Antwerp.-Antwerp gradually is re-
turning to normal conditions About
10000 of the city's $4,000 inhabi-
Germans occupied it, have returned
to their homes.
Some bakeries, meat shops and
grocery stores are opening in the
poorer section of the city, and a few
old women with dog carts are offer
ing apples and vegetables in the once
busy markets. The German flag flies
from the tower of the cathedral Of
Notre Dame. but Belgian priests are
reading mass as usual
The streets virtually are deserted
except for the gray German automo-
biles which dash along at mad speed
carrying officers clad in smoke gray
uniforms.
No War Tax Levied.
No tribute has been levied on the
city as yet, except that the Germans
have demanded supplies for their
army. General Won Huehne is gov
ernor general of the military govern
ment. Maj. Gen. Won Bodenhausen,
commander of the fortress of Ant
werp, will be installed shortly as
civil governor.
General Won Huehne has given as
surance that Belgians will not be
forced to dig intrenchments or do
other work for the Germans If they
return to the Belgian cities. Every
consideration is being shown the Bel
gians by the invaders, but this kind
ness makes the Belgians suspicious,
as they believe, they say, that a trap
Is being laid.
Thousands of Natives Return.
Over twelve thousand Belgiaps re-
turned to Antwerp, and probably half
that number from Holland All of
the Holland border towns are filed
with frantic Belgians, who move about
anxiously seeking relatives and are
afraid to return to their native land.
The country about Antwerp is desc
late.
It is estimated that about three
hundred buildings were destroyed in
Antwerp by bombs, most of these
structures being residences The Hotel
de PEurope and the Taverne Royale
on La Place Verte were among 20
large buildings destroyed by fire
caused by bombs.
La Mier and other leading business
streets are untouched, but all the
large business houses are still closed,
despite the efforts of the Germans to
restore normal conditions.
Argentine Consul Killed.
About sixty persons were killed dur
ing the bombardment of the city.
Theophile Lemaire, Argentine con-
sui at Antwerp, was the most promi-
nent victim. He was killed in the
cellar of his home by a bomb which
came through the roof and floors and
struck him.
Consul Diederich and the American
vice. consul, Harry Sherman, both mar
rowly escaped death during the bonn
bardment They lived on the south
side of the city, where the Smelling
occurred The operators of Zeppelin
dirigible balloon dropped bomb with
in 200 feet of Mr. Sherman's home,
and the house adjoining Mr.. Dieder-
ich's residence was completely
wrecked by a bomb.

attacks were successfully repulsed,
the German-Austrian forces were OBJ
lged to retreat before new Russian
advances from Warsaw, Ivangorod.

WEIGHT OF A BODY.
How II Decreases as II Goes Above or
Below the Earth's Surface,

How II Decreases as II Goes Above or
Below the Earth's Surface.
Everybody weighs more at the SUI
ace of the earth than it can at any
other point. Its weight diminishes as
1t is removed above the surface or be-
low it. AS 1t rises from the surface
Its weight decreases In inverse ratio to
the squares of the distances from the
center of the earth. AS it descends
below the surface its weight decreases
directly as the distance from the cen
ter of the earth.
Thus body weighing 100 pounds at
the surface Of the earth, which is ap-
proximately 1000 miles from the cen
ter would weigh only twenty-five
pounds at point 1000 miles high. At
twice the distance it has one-quarter
the weight.
If We drop the same body half the
distance to the center of the earth or
to a point approximately 1000 miles
below the surface 1t will weigh fifty
pounds.
The reason for this is that at 1000
miles from the center the body is on
the surface of sphere of 1000 miles
radius.
What causes weight is the mass of
matter combined with distance from
the center. A globe of 1000 miles
radius contains one-elghth as much
matter as globe of 1900 miles ra.
dius, the size of the earth; therefore
only One-eighth as much matter at
tracts the body, which, If mass were
the only factor, would at 1000 miles
from the center weigh one-eighth as
much as at the surface of the earth
But it is also only half as far from
the center as it was at the surface and,
If distance were the only factor, would
weigh four times as much as on the
surface. Four times one eighth is one
half; therefore It weighs half what it
would at the surface.
Now, suppose we drop this body to
the very center of the earth and see
what 1t would weigh. All the matter
Of the earth is now outside 1t and can
exercise no attraction whatever upon
1t; therefore it weighs nothing at ALL
New York World.

Jesus appeared as a resented Messiah,
o"""0ef' who must be smit-
ten in order to give the Water Of Life
to humanity; that the serpent lifted up
in the wilderness typifed Messiah's
crucifixion; and that the passover lamb
typifled Jesus, "the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the
world" No wonder their hearts burn
ed within theml
"They Knew Him--He Vanished"
When the travellers arrived In EN-
maus, something in their guests man
ner Of asking the blessing at supper
reminded them of Jesus. Their eyes
of understanding began 70 omen. Then,
having fulfilled the purpose of His ma
teriallzatlon, Jesus vanished-clothes
and all.
Unable to sleep, the disciples return
ed to Jerusalem, and there learned that
Jesus had manifested Himself to Pc
ter Then they told their experiences;
and faith, hope and Joy began to grow
in all their hearts.
During the forty days following our
Lords resurrection, He only twice ap-
peared in form similar to that which
they had seen, bearing the marks Of
crucifixion. On both occasions He ap-
peared and vanished while the doors
were shut.
