FRENCH 0UTLAsT GERMANS.
Scientist Says They Have Greater
Resistance to Fatigue.

BORDEAUX, October 1.-THE pow
ers Of resistance Of fatigue Of the
French soldiers is per cent greater
than that of the German soldiers. de-
clares DR.. Philip Tissie, an eminent
physician, who made observations OF
151 French and 256 German wounded
in the Pau hospital.
The observations were made with Pa
chon's oscillometer, which shows the
effect of fatigue on the blood circula-
ton,
According to DR.. Tissie the immense
efforts which are demanded of the Ger
mans greatly reduce their recuperatlve
power. Their blood. he says, is poi
soned by fatigue to such an extent
that when. they died their bodies i'm

clared to be gaining ground at Berry

Souain, on the east side of the Cathedral
city, while at least one portion of the
German army under the Duke of Wuert-

Marine.
Again, further to the east the French
occupy Apremont, in the forest of the
Argonne. well to the northwest of Ver-
