GERMAN LOSS AT
ANTWERP IS HEAVY

Paris.-The Germans lost 10000
men in the capture of Antwerp, &C
cording to Paul Eric, special CORE
spondent Of the Journal, who writes:
The heroic Belgian defense of forts
Waelhem, Wavre and Lierre, forming
the outer ring, cost the Germans very
dear. General Won Beseler threw com
pact masses of troops into the inter
walls, where the Belgians poured a
whitening infantry fire on the assail-
ants.
South of the third line of defensea
German bodies are now piled in heaps.
This happened at the beginning of the
assault. South of Fort Bornheim the
Belgians inferred 5000 German
corpses.
When Won Beseler managed to
cross the Nethe and install 1615-inch
guns on the north banks, shells fell
in Antwerp like hailstones. Most of
the remaining population then retired
to cellars with food, placing MAJ
tresses and sacks filled with earth
against the doors anG window graf
ings.
Al soon as Antwerp was occupied
the Germans began to fortify it. II
given a little time they will, with the
help of their heavy artillery, make 1t
practically impregnable."

by's head when about a year old be-
gan to break out with small watery
pimples causing her head to itch. She
would scratch her head till the blood
came causing the top of her head to
be in almost a solid eruption. The
pimples at first were nearly as large
as a pea and in patches which would
inflame n tester and when they
would come ocsn would leave a kind
of wet scales there for a few days.
Then when it dried up it would leave
scales on her head that caused her
hair to fall out just in great lunches.
"One day l happened to see Cuti-
cura Soap and also Cuticura Oint-
ment advertised in a paper and l
ordered a sample of each. They seemed
to help her head so much that l pur-
chased a cake Of Cuticura Soap and a
box of Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks time her head was sound and
well. Her hair had stopped falling

South America.

The people of South America are
people Of great and brilliant possibili-
ties. The leading man, perhaps, in the
last Hague conference was a Brazil
ian. Among the common people there
are immense possibilities of Indevel-
oped character and service" so de-
clares a religious leader.
Where in the world will you find
d more patriotic %people?" he contin-
ues.
Where in the world Will you find
a people who have bee as willing as
the South American people have been
for 100 years to die for great ideas
and for great causes and for great per-
sonai Royalties?
They lie at our door today-these
forty million people, awaiting at our
hand the help that is to make of them
great and powerful nations, and to
enable them to discharge their duty of
service to the world"

Ostend.-I was right up on the firing
line near Lokeren when tine Beleians
were ordered to retreat from the
trenches and was carried along in the
frantic rush for shelter beyond the
range of German shells. In~fantrymen,
jaded, heavily weighted by accouter-
ments, stumbled across the fields, sweat
pouring from their faces, and sank, eX-
hausted, to lie for a few moments and
then scramble to their feet and stag
ger forward again as shells continued
bursting around them.
They fought bravely and we'll. The
trenches were not vacated anywhere
till the rain of Ge>'+an shells meant
sheer massacre if the defenders re-
manned. .r
In the retreat Of the field army
which had been defending Antwerp,
along the one road still kept open to
the west, were many soldiers who had
been fighting continually - days,
snatching hurried sleep on tn bare
earth or pavement. Hundreds col
lapsed on the march and had to be
left behind at various points, to fol-
low on after treatment and rest. The
Germans have not yet reached Ostend.
Horse meat has been substituted tsr
beef at most of the hotels and restau-
rants. Otherwise there is no lack of
food at normal prices.
Every day, spies are arrested in and
near Ostend. One man was seized
after chalking in a corner of the vii
lage railway station some figures the
interpreters supposed indicated the
strength Of the allies in the neighbor-
hood. He was dressed as a simple
peasant and showed evidence of be-
ing a man of superior education, which,
with the discriminating memoranda and
the chalk marks at the station, sealed
his doom.
A German officer was arrested in the
main street Of Ostend yesterday wear
ing a Belgian officers uniform. He
was nearly tor to pieces by the huge
crowd before he got to the police sta
ton.
The only route out Of Antwerp af-
ter the bombardment began Wednes-
day was the River Scheldt. The peo-
pie would o stay in the cellars of
the houses, as advised by the author

MENTAL ACTIVITY AND AGE
That Attitude Of the Mind Has Much
to Do With Length Of Life 10
Well Known.

A few years ago a young man
died OF old age" in a New York
hospital. After an autopsy the sur
in reality only twenty-three years old
he was internally eighty!
1t is the aged mind that frequently
makes the body old. Keep growing
or die" is natures motto, a motto
written all over everything in the
universe. There must be a constant
activity in the mind that would moi
age; and the body is but the express
sion of the mind.
There Is no doubt that, as a race
we shorten our lives very materially
through our false thinking, our bad
living. n our old-age convictions.
Doctor Metchnikoff Of the Pasteur IN
stitute in Paris. says that men should
live at least 100 years. Yet 1T Is
only In rare instances today that a
man reaches even the century mark
Making a business of prolonging
life and still retaining as much as
possible of it's vigor, freshness and
buoyancy ought to be a prime object,
especially after one mas passed fifty
While proper care of the body Is alb
solutely essential for the attainment
OF his object the mental influence fa1
transcends all others. The attitude
of the mind has everything to dc
with Fastening or retarding h de
generaive process incident to ones
declining years. 1t Is IN established
fact that the body follows the
thought, is shaped by the mental con
victions, emotions, moods.-Orison

DENTIST HAD WASTED TIME
Really Was No Use Waiting for Pa,
tient to Close Eye, Seeing Its
Composition.

He was a nervous man, says the
Philadelphia Record. Most men are
when they find themselves in a den
lists chair, but he was exceptionally
so. h tooth that had to come out
was quite a small affair-from the
dentists point of view. From the pa
TENTS it felt about the same size as
a house.
He decided to have gas. The den
fist, who was in a hurry to go to a
baseball game, tried to persuade him
to do without, but he was determined.
The dentist, in a fever of impa-
tience, waited for sthe victim of lose
consciousness, but the nervous man
insisted on keeping an eye open,
though he had enough gas to float an
airship.
Unable TO control himself any long
err, the irate tooth-puller exclaimed:
Let go yourself, man! Shut your
eye, you idiot"
Somewhere from the back-blocks Of
dreamland the patient murmured
sleepily:
"Can't-it's glass;"

Pierre.-The circle at the head Of
the ballot having been abolished by
law, the voters of South Dakota are
for the first time called upon to place
a cross in the square beside the name
Of every candidate for whom they wish
to vote. 1t Is not expected that much
confusion will result from the elimi-
nation of the party circle.
Under the old law the use Of the
circle was optional, being only for
those who wished to vote a straight
ticket. To make sure of casting a le-
gal ballot a large portion of the vot
ers in former elections have voted by
making a mar before the name Of
each candidate of their choice and
have let the party circle severely
alone.
1t is not believed, therefore, that
the circle will be greatly missed. al
though the man who has always voted
a straight party ticket will find that it
will take him a little longer to mark
his ballot.

at midnight a heavy b~ombardment
begins.

The bombardment of the town is con
tinued with violence. The petrol tanks
are ablaze. Berchem, a southern SUBJ
urb, is in flames, as also are many
houses in the city. The defending
troops on the southwest section are
offering violent resistance. 1t is de-
cided to evacuate the city, and the
British and Belgian forces leave dur

Antwerp.
Took Two Weeks.
1T will thus be seen that the Ger
mans took a fortnight to drive thei
wedge into the southeastern section of
the defenses," the correspondent con
tinues, land this speaks volumes for
the stubbornness of the defense. Brit
ish marines were hurried across last
Sunday and conveyed to Antwerp with
all speed. They came without over
coats or kits, but cheerfully endured
the cold and rain as we'll as the pulver-
iZing fire.
After Monday it was merely a ques-
ton of enduring the terrible fire as
long as possible. A large proportion
of the Belgian troops went westward
on Monday and Tuesday to insure an
eventual line of retreat. A large ad-
