TERRIFIC LOSSES
French Claim Three Weeks
Campaign In Champagne Re-
gion Has Cost German
Amy $4,000 Men.

Chalons Sur Marine, France, March
3O.-Eleven thousand German dead
have been taken from the trenches Won
by the French during the 20 days Of
fighting in the Champagne country ! h
German losses are estimated at SO. 900.
The German wastage. they say, has
been two to one compared with the
French losses, because the Germans
would try to regain lost ground by
counter attacks repeated again and
again with obstinate courage. 1t was
in these ounter assaults, supported by
relatively inadequate artillery and
what the French officers assert was in
adequate morale, against the allied
troops that so many German soldiers
have fallen. The graves in which they
are buried by fifties and by hundreds
are thick upon a narrow front of some
Is miles.
For nearly a month now, the French
Officers declare, the superiority of their
artillery of both large and small caliber
and n certain Irresistible spirit have day
by day gained ground, sometimes a few
hundred yards of trenches: on other
days a mile of frontage and from 300
to 500 yards deep.
The Germans are bringing up new
contingents steadily. They nave had in
action on this section of the fighting
lines during March five army corps, or
about 200 .000 men. Yet on the evening
of every day. the French officers assert,

Icentury. The east divided from tho
west; n all who. after the example OF
the Asiatics, kept Easter day on tho
18th, whether that day was Sunday or
g We're style "Quartodecimense by
those who adopted the Recommendation.
AT the commencement Of theFourth
century matters had gone to such =
length that h Emperor Constantine
thought II his duty to take steps to
7 the controversy, and to insure uni
formtty OF practice. For this purpose
ne g canon passed In b great
ecumenical council at Nice, AID. 325,
That everywhere the great feast OF
Easter should be observed upon one
y same day, and hat not tho
day OF the Jewish Passover; but, 81
had been generally observed, upon the
Sunday following"
And. to prevent all future disputes n
to time, the following rules were laid
down: That March 81 shall be 40
counted the vernal equinox. That the
full moon happening upon or next after
the 21st OF March shall be taken for the
full moon Of Nissan. That the Lords
day next following that full moon be
Easter day. But II the full moon hap
pen upon q Sunday. Easter day shall
be the Sunday after.
As the Egyptians at that time ex-
celled n astronomy, the bishop OF
Alexandria was appointed to give no.
tice OF Easter day to the pope and
~patriarchs. But 1t soon became evil
dent that this arrangement could not
endure. It was too inconvenient and
liable to Interruptions. Tho fathers Of
p next age began, therefore, to adopt
the golden numbers OF the Metonic
cycle. and to place them In the caller
dar against those days In each month
On which the new o should fall
during that req OF the cycle. The
Metonic cycle was a period Of 10 years.
1t had been observed by Melton, an
Athen1an philosopher, that the moon
returns to have its changes on the
same month and day Of the month in
the solar year.. after q lapse Of 10 years,
ana SO, as 1t Were, to run a cycle. He
published his discovery at the Olym-
pic games. B. G. 433, and the cycl has
ever since borne his name. The church
hoped, by this cycle, to be able always
TO know the moons age and as tho
vernal equinox was now fixed to
March 81. to define Easter forever.
Blu though the new moon really
happened on h same day Of the year.
after a space Of 10 years as It did be-
fore. 1t fell an hour earlier ON that
will be seen, created q serious error
that had to be reckoned with.
A cycle was then framed at Rome
FOR "a years, and generally received by
the western church, for 1t wal then
thought that In this space OF time the
moons changes would return, no only
to the Same day of the month but OF
the week as well.
During the time that Easter was
kept according to this cycle Britain
was separated from the Roman en-
pire. and the British churches for q
time after the separation continued to
keep Easter according to this table OF
"a years. British and Irish churches
adopted the A~lexandrian rule, accord
Ing to which the Easter festival could
not begin before March 5. About 100
years later the English churches con
formed to the Roman rule. The Ro-
man system now prevails the world
over. and Easter is celebrated the same
day everywhere.

HARVESTER BRIEF
ASKS DISSOLUTION
Government Files Reply to In

Washington, March 30.-The govern
nent's brief, in the antitrust suit to
dissolve the International Harvester
company, was filed today in the SUI
preme court. 1t is largely directed to-
ward combating the arguments adj
vanced in the company's brief filed in
support Of it's appeal, after the district
rourt for Minnesota had declared it a
combination in restraint of trade and or
dered it's dissolution.
IF the defendants arguments pre-
vail" says the government brief; 'if
the corporate combinations, however
comprehensive, do not come within the
purview of the act unless and only so
far as they demonstrably abuse their
power, the inevitable result will be the
renewal of that great rush toward con-
centration, which proceeded with ever
accelerating rapidity until checked by
the decision of this court in the North
western Securities case.

The controversy in this case, there
lore, is fundamental. The question is
shall the competitive system continue
shall competition, not combination,
be the law Of trade?'
'"The last contention that the ease
must fail because the combination has

based upon construction of the anti

attterly impracticable in execution"
The government declares that three
companies, named by the defendant as
formidable competitors which have en-
Tered the field since its organization are
practically neglible as factors in the
harvesting machine business in the
United States.

BRIEFS SUBMITTED;
WAGE VERDICT SOON
Both Sides Sum Up In Western
Railroad and Enginemen's
Controversy.

Chicago. March 30.-Briefs in the
western railroad wage case were filed
with the board of arbitration today by
James M. Sheean, attorney for the rail-
roads. and by William S. Carter, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineers. Oral argument
was begun and was expected to last
two, and possibly three days. Decision
by the board on TIE demands of the
men for higher wages and other on
cessions will be made on or before
April 20, and will affect G2.ocn Gr-
gineers, firemen and hostlers em.

Grating 40, 900 miles of track.
Mr. Sheean's brief asserted that the
men failed utterly to establish their
contention that their labors and re-
sponsiblities n their productive eff
ficiency nave increased since their
wages We're adjusted by arbitration in
1910, nor, said the brief, had they made
good their claim that their earnings,
despite "a higher rate, had been de-
creased in this period. Their conten-
tions, Mr.. Sheean said, had not been
proven by their own exhibits, and had
disproved by actual records quoted
in the railroad exhibits.

STEAMER is SUNK:
MANY LIVES LOST
British Ship FaIaba, Carrying 14O Passengers and Crew Of
l2O, Sent to Bottom BY German Submarine Survivors
Claim Those Aboard Had, No Chance.

London, March 29.-The report of
yesterday that the British steamer,
Falaba, had been sunk by a German
submarine was confirmed today. The
Falaba was sent to the bottom yester-
day off Milford Haven, an inlet on the
coast of South Wales. The loss of life
probably was heavy.
The Falaba was $50 feet long net
tonnage, Soil. She belonged to the
Elder line, was owned in Liverpool and
was engaged in the African trade.
The Falaba left Liverpool on Satur-
day for the west coast of Africa with
lao passengers and with a crew of 12e
men. Her officers state that when the
German submarine appeared it whistled
thrice as a signal for the steamer to
prepare her life boats, but that before
this could be done a torpedo struck the
ship near the engine room.
Three of the Falaba's life boats We're
swamped. Many persons aboard the
vessel were thrown into the sea. where
they struggled while the submarine

WHAT EASTER is AND
WHO OBSERVES FETE DAY

From the Mobile Register.
Easter is a festival observed in the
Christian church. from early times. in
commemoration Of the resurrection of
the Savior. 1t corresponds to the Pass
over of he Jews. which In the King
James version of the bible is called
once by the name of Easter (Acts xii,
-. The name appears several times in
earlier versions Of the bible. Easter
Is observed by the Greek. Roman Cath
olic. Anglican and Lutheran churches,
and by many among the non-liturgical
churches who do not generally re-
gard the church year. The esteem in
which it Is held is indicated by it's
ancient title, the greet day."
Easter Is the Sunday which follows
the 14th day Of the calendar moon
which falls next after the 21st day of
March. This is true, be of old style
OF dates and new. and the rule has been
used. though not universally, from a
very early day.
Easter is said to have been a spring
festival in aga times; and this is
quite likely. OF whatever sort may be

Easter is the symbol Of a new birth
