NECVE CHAPPELLE LOSSES.
Already 300 Officers Names On the
Casualty List.

The British public is not deceived
by the lack Of definite reports as to
the British losses in the recent fight
ing at Neuve Chappelle. Official an
nouncement that the British had TAX
en- 1900 prisoners, that the Germans
must have lost in all $4,000 men.
says an Associated Press dispatch of
Saturday, prepared the public for the
heavy loss on the British side, Ru-
mors ran that the total British loss
was in the neighborhood of 13, 900.
Already there are about 800 Of
ficers' names on the casualty lists
as the result of the battle, which are
being added to daily. Since it takes
so many men to win mile Of French
soil from the Germans, more than
the losses at Waterloo, the British
public is aware the cost will be stu
pendous before the invaders are
driven from France and Belgium.
Meanwhile recruiting advertise
ments point out that the Germans,
being at Ostend, already are nearer
London than Manchester is, and
some daily papers are preaching con-
scription. There is an urgent call
for more nurses and hospital facili-
ties. In short, London feels that
the anticipated spring campaign, in
all its grimness, has begun.
School buildings, work houses,
and asylums now are being fitted for
$4,000 wounded men, who are ex-
pected when the promised big
move comes Recent appeals for
nurses brought hundreds of replies,
but many were from women without
training.
1T is clear however" says Wis
count Knutsford, in charge of this
branch of war office activity, that
We must abandon the idea of nursing
soldiers only with trained nurses, at
least on this side. In France we
shall still require only trained nurses
as long as possible.
The war Office has also sent out
call for more doctors. Arrangements
for the transport of wounded from
the front to the London hospitals
have now been so perfected that
many wounded men are in their beds
here within forty hours.

At Cross Purposes.

A we'll dressed, portly man stood
for several moments watching a
brawny porter, who was laboriously
tugging at a large, heavy box which
seemed almost as wide as the door
way through which he was trying to
move it. Presently the kindly dis
posed onlooker approached the pers-
piring porter and said. with a pa
tronizing air:
Like to have a lift"
Bet your life," the other replied.
and for the next two minutes the
two men on opposite sides of the box
lifted. puffed and wheezed. but it did
not move an inch. Finally the we'll
dressed one Strengthened up and said
between his puffs:
Il don't believe we can get it in
there
Get it in?' shouted the other.

"A tramp was told that he could
have a hot meal if ned wheel snow

THE tramp consented to this and
set to work. But one of the street

jugler.'
How so, friend? In what way?'
asked the tramp.
Why said the street cleaner,
you ought to push a wheelbarrow,
not pull it.

Famous Feats of Archery.


In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock. Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance of
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
a field near that capital AIS yards
against the wind. The secretary Of
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions of surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present. said the sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance of modern days,
but a pillar standing on a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots ranging
up to 500 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie,
British ambassador to the Sublime
Porte. recorded that in 1898 he was
present when the sultan shot an arrow
912 yards.-Washingto Star.

New Deputy Mine inspector.

Denyer.-A. L. Thompson, formerly
mine inspector for the YictorAmeri-
can Fuel Company at Hastings, has
been appointed deputy state inspector
of coal mines by James Dalrymple,
head of the state department. Thomp-
son is the first man to be appointed
to this position. Examination for it
was held in July, 1913, and he stood
at the head of the list.
The law requires that the state be
divided into five inspection districts
by the state coal mine inspector. but
there are not sufficient funds at this
time to appoint five inspectors.
Dalrymple, therefore. has divided the
state into four districts, which will be
covered by Thompson and three in
spectors. The districts are as follows:
District No. Part Of Las Animas
county, inspected by Henry King of
Trinidad
District No Fremont, Huerfano
and the north end of Las Animas; in
spected by Frank Oberding of Wal
senburg.
District No. 3.-Boulder Weld. Routt
Jackson, jefferson and Ell Paso: in
spected by James w. Graham of La
fayette.
District No. Garfield, Pitkin.

and Rio Blanco: INSPECTED by A. f.

Industrial Board Has Dual Task.

Denver.-Colorado's new industrial
commission is said to be charged with
more important duties than have ever
fallen to the lot of any other appoint
i've body in the history of the state.
Three men are to act as an arbitration
board and to carry out the provisions
of the workmen's compensation law
passed by the last Legislature. In
most states where industrial and com
pensation laws are in effect there are
separate commissions. but In Colorado
this one board must do double duty.

"MAsoN AND DIxoN's LINE"
Popular Misapprehension as to Mean
ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line. as orig
inally laid off, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary. it ran for one-third of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware. both OF which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle bound
ary dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same. the actual Mason and
Dixon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until lin that looked-for day of
charity to all men) shall be fulfilled

that when the people of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever Mason and
Dixon's line."-Southern Woman's

Chocolate Soldiers.

The soldiers weakness for sweet
meats, to which Mr.. Bernard Shaw
called attention when he wrote THE
Chocolate Soldier" has been abund-
antly confirmed during the present
war. The quantity of sweets con-
sumed by our army in France has
been prodigious, while from Cairo
comes the news that the Australians
have absolutely eaten the place out
of chocolate. On the troopships
which brought them, too, it was the
same. Thus Capt. Bean, the official
correspondent with the force. writes:
Our canteen had five times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected and one-fifth the de-
mand for Westminster Gazette.
