days of the season and considerable
quantity of snow fell. The storm was
especially severe in the outlying coun-

an extent that most of the country

than they have been at any previous
time this winter.

Miss Helen Gardner
The greatest Motion Picture
ever made

Miss Helen Gardner is a glorious poem

art of Bernhardt. Miss Gardeners rythmic
beauty and dramatic instincts, her intel
lectuality, culture and delicacy, have
combined in her work to vivify and emo
bic the character of Royal Egypt" even
as Bernhardt might have done at the age
of twenty-six. Her costumes are truly
gorgeous, representing not merely money,
but exquisite taste, thought and culture.

man quick-firers had been concealed.
On the ridge behind were placed Ger
man long-range guns. which were do
ing great damage to the French. 1t
was here that three regiments OF
Turkos asked to be allowed to charge
the height on which was the artillery.
Nothing was known of the quick-fr-
ers in the bushes in the middle of the
field. The three regiments started.
When they were within easy range
the German quick-hrers opened upon
them. Only about half a regiment sue
ceeded in getting forward and taking
the machine guns. Reserves were
then brought up and another charge
resulted in the capture of the Ger
man guns on the hills after tremen-
dous hand to hand encounters.
London.-To enable the British cler-
gy to recognize made in Germany
hymns, a list OF them has been pre-
pared by the Guardian. a church news
paper, which has opened its columns
to a discussion of the propriety of
using these hymns in the English serv-
ice.
II German hymns were banned. the
English hymnal would be deprived OF
some of its oldest and most popular
numbers. Luther's famous version OF
the 46th psalm. "a Sure Stronghold
our God is He" would be perhaps the
most regretted of all excisions. Other
familiar numbers OF German origin
are. "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing;
Sun of My Soul, my Savior Dear;
Christ Whose Glory Fills the Skies;
As With Gladness Men OF Old;
Christ the Lord is Risen Again"
I'VE Plough the Fields and Scatter"
Hail to the Lords Amounted" "Oh
Happy Land OF Pilgrims" and Com
NIT Thou All Thy Ways"
Lutheran hymns are popular not
only in the Wesleyan Methodist
church which is allied to Lutheran
ism, but also in the Church of Eng
land. which regards itself as a part
of the ancient Catholic church and
not a part of the reformation.
Since the Wagner night excites as
much enthusiasm as ever in the
Queens hall concerts, II is not beliey-
ed that the agitation against German
hymns will find a strong following

FOREIGN GOSSIP

Esternay, France-Parties OF Ger
man soldiers separated from the main
bodies of troops during the German
retreat from the Marine are still hiding
in the woods in this vicinity. The
French armies passed on and there are
too few soldiers left in this part OF
France TO hunt down the German
stragglers. They live upon the coun-
try but otherwise commit no depreda-
tons.
Along the whole countryside peas
ants who have returned point out bur
iaI places OF those who fell in the
fierce fighting in this neighborhood
and for so miles to the east. The
dead were bruised by 500 Paris fire
men, assisted by 500 civilian Iaborers
II is said that the tally kept by the
firemen shows that 10000 dead were
buried. about 10000 of them French.
The greatest slaughter was in the
marshes near Sezanne. Fifteen thou
sand dead are buried in long trenches
a; the bottom of a wooded hill.
French and Germans are buried sep
arately. On the long mounds above
the French trenches have been set up
rude wooden crosses; a few wild flow
ers have been scattered on the mounds
and sometimes large stones have been
placed at either end. Caps OF French
soldiers, showing the name of the regi-
ment. have been placed on the crosses
or the stones. The trenches in which
the Germans are buried are unmark-
ed. The son of General Won Moltke
is buried near Esternay.
Champion, about two miles south
east of Coulommiers. is the farthest
place south reached by the Germans
on their march for the investment of
Paris. The village did not have more
than % houses. All were burned.
Twelve inhabitants have returned and
among other repairs have patched up
the schoolhouse. Six children are be-
ing taught there.
Strewn over the plain near Fere-
are small piles Of empty
cartridge shells. pieces of broken RI
hes. artillery carriages, fragments OF
uniforms and various other wreckage
from the fighting. In an open space
about two miles long by a mile wide

ENGINEER SAVES

Bids by Readvertising the
Bridge Painting Job.
RANGE FROM $500 o $500
Davenport Men Offer to Do Work
cheapIy but Are Only $50 Lower
Than Local Contractor.

That the city saved 5000 by readver-
Using for bids for the painting of the
Rock river bridges was shown this
morning when the offers of a number
OF tri-city contractors were opened at
the ONCE of Mayor Schriver today.
The lowest bid. tina: of Arthur S.
Stegman and Milford Gray, Daven-
port, was $3.50. while the lowest bid
fer painting in the first case was $3.50.
IL will be recalled that two weeks
ago. when the commission opened the
Bids and took the matter up for
vote. it decided that the prices asked
were too high. City Engineer Wallace
Treichler stated before the commits
sion that the job should be done for
$50 span and the Davenport men now
offer 20 do il for SIS.
The bids this morning ranged in
price from $500 TO $3.50, a difference
of $3.50. The commission seemed to
favor the bid of the Davenport men
and IL is presumed that it will accept
their offer. The bids must remain
open As hours before the contract is
let.
The Davenport men explained that
they offered the work so low because

hire no assistants. They stated in this
way they would stand no chance of
employees being hurt and could offer
II lower. They also asked for the in
spection daily OF the spans as they
progressed SO that they would not have
to move the scaffolding more than
once.
Following are the bids:
Arthur S. Stegman and Milford

The J. McGrath company also OFFER
ed a bid for spraying of s222.97, but
the council has since learned that this
is not the best way 10 have the paint

The pain: is being furnished by the
Illinois Oil company in consideration
of the council giving the local con-
