\ NEW YEARS PRAYER. 1915.
CBy Earl Curzon of Kedleston.)
pray that every passing hour
Your hearts may bruise and beat.
pray that every step you take
May scorch and scar your feet;
1 pray that beauty never more
May charm your eyes, your ears.
That you may march, through day
and night.
Beneath a heaven Of tears,
Blind - the humbllest flowers that in
The hedgerow corners bloom,
Deaf to whatever sound or cry
May wake in you the memory
OF dear ones left at home.
I pray your guns may be engulfed
Beneath the loam-Our loan!
/ pray the streams-Our streams-may
leap
In floods above their banks and sweep
Your trampling hosts to doom!
I pray the spectres of our slain
May haunt you in your tents
Vigil or sleep. whiche'er you seek
Naught smelling but the bloody reek
OF our Holy Innocents
pray the ruins of our homes
May crush you like a worm,
Your brains beneath the torment reel
Doubt from your hearts their fury
steal,
Fear drive you like brute beasts that
squeal
And fly before the storm!
I pray thai you may live to writhe
Meath every pang we've known;
Then haply may Almighty God
snare the supreme\ avenging rod,
The eternal anger of His nod,
And say the miles that you have trod
Shall of themselves atone!

In deciding that hydroaeroplanes arc not
vessels OF war, Secretary Bryan argues: The fact
that hydroaeroplane is fitted with apparatus to
rise from and alight upon the sea does not in my
opinion give it the character OF a vessel any more
than the wheels attached to an aeroplane, fitting
it to rise and alight upon the land, give the latter
the character of land vehicle" There is no dis
putting the Secretary's logic; it j. worthy OF the

SAGE TEA TURNS
 GRAY HAIR DARK
Its Grandmother's recipe to bring color, Iustre and thickness to hair
 when faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggy, just an appli- cation or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's appearance hundred fold.
 Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color thick ness and lustre of your hair and re- move dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's' Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so natur- ally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abundant.

FRENCH STATEMENT
 TELLS DIRECTORIES
At Various Points Along the Vast Bat
 tie Front.

Paris, March 15, via London. March Is, 12.55 a. m.-The following official communication was issued by the French war office tonight:
 "The day has been marked by nu- merous actions favorable for us
 In the region of IOmbaertZyde our artillery very effectively bombarded the enenlys' works. The Germans at tempted to fecapture a small fort which we took from them during the night of March 11-12- They were re- pulsed, leaving about 50 dead on the ground. Our losses were insignificant
 "To the south of Ypres the British army which a German attack yester- day had compelled to fall back beyond St. Eloi recaptured that village and almost all of the neighboring trenches.
 ITO the north of Arras a very bril- liant attack by our infantry enabled us to capture by a single effort three lines of trenches on the spur of Notre Dame de Lorette and to reach the edge of the plateau. We captured 100 prisoners including several officers and some non-commissi0ned officers, de- stroying two machine guns, and blew up an an ammunition store.
 Further to the south, in the region of Ecurie and Roclincourt, near the road from Lille, we blew up several German trenches and prevented the enemy from reconstructing them. '1n the region of Albert, near Car noy, the Germans exploded a mine be- heath one of our trenches and occu- pied the excavation. We drove them from it. They once more installed themselves, but a fresh counter-a attack enabled us to recover the position. We have held our ground there ever since and have succeeded in putting in or der once more all our defensive organ ization.
 Tn the valley of the Aisne, near Vassens, north of Nouvron, two Ger man companies were caught by our fire and suffered very heavy losses. Tn Champagne we made fresh progress. We gained ground in the woods to the northeast of Souain and l to the northwest of Perthes. We re- pulsed two counter attacks in front ot bridge No. 196, northeast of Le Mesnil and extended our position in that sec tion. We took prisoners and captured | a trench mortar.
 'In the Argonne region there has | been very great activity since yester- 1 day. In the region of Bagatelle two | counter-attacks by tn eenemy were re. l occupied the site and established our. l selves there.
 1 Between Four De Paris and Bolantt the enemy attempted two counterat- tacks, which failed, like three other! previously made.
 | At Vauquers our infantry delivered an attack which made it master of the western part of the village. We took numerous prisoners. At Bois Le Pre- 1 tre. northwest of Pont- -Mousson, the | Germans blew up with a mine four o, OUT advance trenches, which were com. pletely destroyed. They gained a foot l ing there after the explosion, but wt
 recaptured the first two trenches ant half of the third.
 Between Boislepretre and Pont- t-a | Mousson, at Dieupt Height, the enemy made an attack which was repulsed.'

oLENTEN SERVICE.
Father Louis Spoke at St. Patrick's Church Upon Keeping the Sabbath Holy.

At the evening service at St. Pat rick's service on Sunday, the con- sregation was the largest of the pres ent Lenteu season and the sermon was by Father Louis, a Passionist mis- missionary, from Boston, whose theme was from the text, Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
 He reminded his hearers that the whole life of a Catholic man is in 1uenced very strongly by the way in which he keeps the Sabbath so that the duty of keeping the Sabbath holy is of vital importance in the Chris tain life. Frcm the beginning a day has been set apart by God for men to thank Him fors some particular blessing and the objects of the Sab bath are three-fcld, viz; for a day of rest for man, thus indicating Gods thoughtfullness and love; for the worship of God; and that we might have time and opportunity to attend to the wants of our souls.
 Father Louis dwelt with particular emphasis upon the negative precept to do no unnecessary serVile work on Sunday and the positive precent to attend the services in Gods house on that day. This is the great thing to do and nothing short of a moral or physical impossibility would excuse non attendance at church. This act of obedience will surely bring its blessing with it.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ITCHING
 AND BURNING

Seattle, Wash. Jan. 26, 1915:-"My face and body were a solid mass of little sores which itched and burned me so badly that I almost went crazy. They started in the form of little pimples which opened and formed sores. I could not sleep at night and at work if I became overheated it would itch something terrible. I used all kinds of soaps, salves and pre- scriptions that did me no good. had this skin trouble for a year or more before I used Resinol. As soon as started using Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap the itching and burning stopped at once and in five weeks my face and body were as clear and soft as could be. I used only two jars of Resinol Ointment and three cakes of Resinol Soap.
 "A friend of mine had a bad case of skin trouble. His face was broken out so badly he was ashamed to go out on the street. I told him to use Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and in four weeks he was all well and one could not tell he ever had a pimple or sore on his face" (Signed) August E.

ing to investigate the premises and all the surroundings.
 It was learned that the store was closed on Sunday night about 10 o'clock by the clerk, Henry $. R:Eg- land. The cash register was left open with $4 or $5 in it and the rest of the money. which was probably about $2O0, was put in the safe. The last deposit in the bank was made on Sat urday morning about 10 o'clock and the management was obeying orders in putting the money in the safe, as it is against the rules to take any Of it with them. The small change left in the cash register was taken by the burglars, except for some few pieces of coin of different denominations.
 ladder secured from the roof of the Boston store building and a piece of timber that was found on one of the roofs that the burglars had to traverse played an important part in the work of the burglars, and it was the ladder by which they descended into the cigar store after taking several panes of glass out of ths skylight. The roof where the skylight is is one story above the ground, and having gained this they could use the timber to get up on the roof above the Boston store office, which is a story higher. From that roof by the use of the timber again they would be able to. reach the roof of the Williams building, where
 
 the ladder they were able to carry out the rest of their plans by getting down through the skylight into the cigar store.
 Once in the store, they found the safe under the counter at the side of the store and rolled it to the back behind a partition. To do so it was necessary to take up the wooden walk behind the counter, which they carefully replaced so as not to attract attention If anyone should look into the front door.
 This burglary brought out the in- formation Monday that short time ago three men were discovered one night in the store of the Falls con- pany on Yantic street, making an ef- fort to break open the safe. Daniel Falvey, the night watchman, reported to the manager that he discovered the three men at work and at the same time heard steps on the floor above While he was on his way upstairs the three men on the first floor made theil escape. No damage was done and nothing was taken, neither did the mer leave any marks to show how they go in or how they escaped.
 Spectacular robberies reported il other cities, many of them of large size than Norwich, seem to be havinl | their counterpart here, the local op orators showing fully as much darin, and ingenuity as if they were expert operating in metropolitan centers.
