Capture and Retain Important
6erman Position.
REPULSE COUNTER ATTACKS
London War Office Gives Brief De-
tails of Another Engagement
Along Western Front.

London. April 20.-Activity prevails
again along the western battle front.
Engagements are reported along the
Meuse and the Lorraine border and in
the vicinity of Ypres, where, accord
ing to an official statement of the war
Office, an important battle has been
won by the British army.
AS the time nears for the expected
general offensive of the allies it is
believed in some circles here that the
movement already may be under way.
Others military observers maintain
that the battles of the last few days
are too isolated to admit of such an
inference.
"A successful action commencing
on the evening of the 18th eliminated
in the capture and complete occupa-
ton of an important point known as
Hill 60, which lies about two miles
south of Zillebke, to the east OF
Ypres," says the war Office statement.
This hill dominates the country to
the north and northwest.

ANTIQUITY OF MANKIND
Geikio Places 1t at Between 100000
and 100000 Years

In his work, 1.-The Antiquity of Man
In Europe, Professor James Geikie
of Edinburgh university declares his
belief that man has inhabited Europe
between 100000 and 100000 years.
All such estimates are based on geo
logical facts, such as the rate at which
sediment is deposited or at which stall
agmites grow, that are very hard to
determine with any accuracy, but no
one now G3ubts that man is far older
than men of science originally suypos,
ed him to be.
"When we reflect says Professor
Gcikie. ''on the many geographical
changes that man has witnessed-tho
submergence and re-elevation of enor-
nous tracts, tie erosion of valleys and
general lowering of the surface by de-
nudation, when we consider that he
has lived through a succession of stu
pendous climatic revoluti ms; that he
has seen widely contrasted floras and
faunas alternately occupying our CONT
nent-tundas, steppes and great for
ests succeeding each other again an B
again-we must feel convinced that the
few tbsnsand years that have elapsed
siner the downfall Of Babylonialt, AS
syrian and Egyptian empires are as
nothing compared with the long aeons
that separate the earliest times of his
tory from he apparition of paaeolith-
lc man in EuroDe.'

NJ M'CORMACK'S irish SONGS
ENCHANT BIC AUDIENCE
InTimed Laughter by a Few in the
Hall Causes Great Tenor to Stop
in Midst of Number and Pro-
vides the Only Earring Note

From banshee 3 Groom to the love
song of the swain, from the wall .of a
keener TO the lyric of colleen; from a
modern ballad to grand opera-John
McCormack, the famous Irish tenor, ran
the gamut last night in concert at the
Chestnut street hall, and delighted what
was probably the largest audience that
ever assembled at a concert in Harris
burg.
1t is putting it rather mildly to say
delighted, - for Mr. Mccormack sim
ply charmed the great assemblage with
his voice. 1t was voice such as is sell
dom heard in concert or opera in this
city, and the ancients' who listened to
nm had but one comparison to make
the Mccormack voice was reincarna-
ton of that of the famous John L..
Carncross, the silver-voiced tenor who
years ago sang himself into the hearts
of the lovers of vocal music in this
country, and whose superior has never
been heard in Harrisburg until McCor-
mack sang here last night.
The sive of the audience gave evil
dence that this city - ready to patron
lze the best that can be produced in
the musical world. The applause was
genuine, hearty and so vociferous that
the genial lrishman was willing to re-
spond to many encores.

taking the stage in response to an. en-
core started the beautiful Nevin song,
" My Rosary Some one in the au-
dience laughed and distracted the sing,
er. He stopped and, without any show
OF lll-humor, remarked that he could
not sing while their was laughter. Then
he began again, but it was evident that
he had been thrown off his vocal bal
anee, as it were, and he had barely got
ten started the second time when he
again stopped and left the stage.
The audience, to show its disapproval
OF the interruption, applauded so heart
lily that Mr.. Mccormack returned and
sang that exquisite Tom Moore ballad.
: Believe Me If All Those Endearing
\ onng Charms, so sweetly that the au-
dience was literally enchanted.
The program all through served to
bring out the beauty of the Met cCormack
voice and its wonderful training, but
best of all did the audience like his
