HEAVY LOSSES DUE
PARTLY TO BLUNDER

London. April 16.--Ffeld Marshal
Sir John French, commander of the
British expeditionary force in France
and Belgium, has made a report on
the big battle OF Neuve Chapelle con-
frming rumors that the British losses
were very heavy and that some of
them were due to q British blunder
OF firing upon their own men.
General French said considerable
delay occurred after the capture of
Neuve Chapelle, the infantry being
greatly disorganized by the violent
nature OF the attack and their pas
sage through the German trenches.
Telephone lines. cut by the German
fire, made communication between
the front and rear of the British po-
sitions difficult.
General French observes that in
wal today between civilized nations
heavy casualties are unavoidable.
The power of defense conferred by
modern weapons Is the main cause of
the long duration of present day bat
ties, he says.
The field marshal reports the Brit
ish losses In the three days fighting
at Neuve Chapelle as follows: Kill
ed. 100 officers, 2.337 men; wounded.
$50 officers, alta other ranks; miss.
ing. 20 officers. 1,72S men. Total cas-
u~alties, 1881.

TERRIERS LONG VIGIL.
Guarded Basket For Twenty-fou
Hours Before Yielding.

St Louis. - Ignoring all blandish-
ments, a Skye terrier guarded an en-
pity basket for t~wenty-four hours at
Taylor and Adams streets, Kirkwood.
until finally a boy made friends with
the dog and coaxed 1t to his home, to
which he also took the basket.
Persons living in the neighborhood
first observed the dog at its vigil the
previous afternoon. 1t refused to let
anybody touch the basket and could
not be lured away by tempting offers
OF food.
Mrs. j. j. wilkins carried food and
water to the dog and gave 1t a sack
to lie upon. King Amber, fourteen
year-old son of Arthur Amber. made
overtures to the terrier for a long time
before he won its confidence sufficient
ly for 1t to permit him to take the bas-
ket.
Who owns the dog and the basket
could not be ascertained, and young
Amber said he hoped the owner would
not turn up.

FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them with a Veil; Re-
move Them with the Othine
Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and CIV
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by druggists under guar
antee to refund the money If it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the. first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

Rev. T. J. Parsons, pastor of the
Quincy Street Baptist church Monday

He spoke of the conversion of Saul,
saying: While Saul was on the way
to Damascus he gave himself to
Christ, asking Lord what will you
have me do?' Everything i'm his life
was changed, his religion was
changed. there was a revolution in his
life Saul was the first great mission
airy to Europe. While on his way
across the sea he was shipwrecked
taken prisoner and executed near
Rome All this was done for the sake
of his faith. Since then he has
changed the religion of America and
Europe He gave to us the greatest
declaration of the doctrines of Chris
tianity and character of Jesus Christ
Through the influence of Saul we
have thousands of missionary men
such as Moody. William Sunday. Jerry
MacCauley. men who have conse-
Grated their lives TO the study and
teachings of Jesus Christ

by Mr.. Parsons if they were willing to
lead a different and better life.

question as follows:
The waistline of a costume is one

Gently m, very erratic line has gone

struggle between two periods of fash

under discussion-the tendency to re-
vive the very high WASTED line taken
from the Empire period and the other
from the 1880 period. The first ap-
peals to the slim young figure suited
to the air of careless dressing, and the
other to the more dignited dresser.
