Make Rampant Of Dead Men,

Paris.-In one of the hottest corners
of the vast battlefield of the Marine
the Germans were hard pressed by
the French, and driven from their
trenches. To check the victorious ad-

a rampant of dead and wounded. This
wall, six feet high, the Turcos had to
scale before they dislodged the enemy
with their bayonets. In this corner of
the fighting 1000 German dead were
found.

ASHAMED or AN INFIRMITY
Sailors, Particularly Amateur Ones,
Seem to Look on Seasickness
as a Crime.

Here must deal with distressing
subject, which it would be pleasanter
to ignore, but which my training in
realism will not allow me to ignore,
writes Arnold Bennett in the Century
Magazine.
A certain shameful crime is often
committed on yachts, merchantmen
and even men-of-war 1t is notorious
that Nelson committed this crime again
and again, and that other admirals have
copied his iniquity. Sailors, and par
ticularly amateur sailors, would soon
er be accused of any wickedness rath-
er than this. Charge them with cheat
ing at cards, running innocent women,
defrauding the government. and they
will not blanch; but charge them with
this offense, and they will blush, they
will recriminate, and they will lie dis
gracefully against all evidence; they
cannot sit still under the mere sus-
picion of it.
/ have known a yachtsman, an ex-
pert, a member of an exceedingly
crack club, suddenly shift his course
shoreward in circumstances not de-
void of danger.
What are you about?" was the az
frighted question. He replied:
I'm going to beach her. II don't,
I shall be sick, and, won't be sick
aboard this yacht"
Such is the astounding influence OF
convention, which has transformed
into crime a misfortune over which
the victim has no control whatever.

GERMANS FALL BACK:
LOSSES RUNNING HIGH
RIGHT WING OF KAIsER's ARMY,
BATTERED BY 3HEAVY FIGHT
ING, is CONTINUING ITS RE-
TRoGRADE MOVEMENT.

Londcn, Sept 9-The correspond
ent of the Chronicle at the front in
France telegraphs as follows:
''The tables are turned The right
wing Of the German army, which was
considerably battered by the heavy
fighting of the last two days, is con
tinuing its retrograde moyemen- 1t
is falling back with the British army
fast on its flask.
Everything points TO the move
ment being definite retirement
rather than a temporary retreat The
greater part of the German force
holding Amiens withdrew Tuesday
morning and the German wounded
were rushed to Arras. When | left the
neighborhood of Amiens at noon a
small French force was waiting in
the vicinity to reoccupy Amiens as
soon as the last German soldiers had
Withdrawn, which was expected on
Tuesday night.
The allies left wing is giving the
retiring enemy no respite, the British
cavalry being especially active. The
allies are making every effort to de-
tach the harried German right wing
from the main body and annihilate
it
In an effort to prevent this the
German commander seems to be di-
recting the rearward march upon
Cambria and Tournai, evidently with
the intention of attempting to repass
the Belgian border east of Lille.
Each instant the rearward pro-
gress of the Germans is gaining mo.

We will use all our strength to put
it on sure foundation of equal rights
for the Jews.
Do not be deluded by the fatter-

ready you have heard too often. Did
not the czar make the same promises
IL 1905? How did he keep his word :?
Think of the awful Punishment of
the great masses Of Jews; think f
