they were of humble birth. stupid in the old Jewish and oriental beliefs where women occupied lowly posi- ton.
 At first the apostles spoke of chas titv as Christ had, but later they laid down the most minute rules, by which women were to live even telling them how to dress.
 Paul. a crusty old bachelor didn't think well of marriage at all, much less of second ones. He said, Wives are to be in subjection to their hus- band. Also woman is the weaker yes sel; she is to be silent in church; if she desires to learn anything, let her ask her husband at home.'
 Coming down through the middle ages when the priests created public opinion we read that they discussed whether women had souls and was made in the image of God. St. Augus- tine makes his deduction thus: The apostles commanded that man should not veil his head, because he is the image of God, but woman must veil hers. according to the apostles; there fore, woman is not the image of God"
 Christianity personified opposition to the beastly materialism of the Romans
 and rebelled against the oppression and
 disdain of the masses.
 In the mire of the Roman empire
 the seeds of these doctrines were plant ed in fertile soil, woman hoping for liberation from her position gladly em- braced the new faith and until this day no great movement has taken place In all the world in which woman has not figured a heroine and martyr. Those of us who believe Christianity | Is the greatest achievement of civili- zation should not forget that to woman 1t owed many of its victories. Her ea- gerness to convert played an impor- ! tant part in the Roman empire and among the barbarian people.

Peace Strength 100000.

The peace strength of the Bavarian
sian army is 100000 men--in other
words, the Prussian losses to date are
given as nearly three times the en-
tire peace strength of the Prussian
army.
TIL peace strength of the Bavarian
army is three army corps, 10000
men, that of the Saxon army $4,000
men and of the Wuerttemberg army
10000 men. Assuming that the war
strength of these Kingdoms bears
similar ratio to the peace strength to
the ratio prevailing in Prussia and
that the losses in these armies in
proportion to their strength are SINH
lar to those of the Prussian army
the figures would indicate that the
losses of these three armies to date
are roughly 10000 men, which, add
ed to the 1,3SS,000 men lost by
Prussia, gives total German loss OF
2,180,000 men.
The total war strength of the Ger
man field army before the present war
began was estimated at 1,s5o,000 men,
behind which was an estimated
strength of 100000 men, wholly
or partially trained, to supply the
waste of war, making a total paper
strength of S,S5o,o00 men, not in
Guiding the garrison units or the
Landstrum. tI.
Two Thirds Wiped Out.
1t would appear therefore that an
equivalent of two-thirds of the entire
paper strength of the trained Ger
man army already has been wiped
out The total losses estimated, how
ever, must be reduced by the con-
siderable number of wounded who
have recovered and returned to the
front. '.-

FRENCH CAPTURE
SUGAR REFINERY
One Of Most BlOodiest Battles Of
War Fought Near Souchez

Paris, June 5, 11:5S a. nl.--The cap
ture by the French of the sugar re-
f1nery near Souchez, Is described in
a report given out today by he Of
fetal EYE witness at the front. This
is what it says:
Violent attacks on the part of the
French from both the west and the
south were met by a fire of the Ger
man batteries and machine guns To-
Gated on the north side of the re-
finery. The Germans resisted for
some time, but finally, der.oralized by
the artillery fire of the French, with
drew.
German Losses Heavy.
The basement of the factory was
FOUND to be filled with German dead.
while the French losses were slight.
Furious at having lost rositlon
which would serve as base for count
er attacks at Ablain, virtually ali Of
which is in the possession of the
French, the Germans made a desper-
ate effort to regain II. Amid de-
stroycd walls and great holes in the
ground made by large shells, the Ger
mans began their attack at midnight
In this rapid and confused engage
ment the French were Obliged to
withdraw, but a watchfuI French
major prepared rapidly for a counter
attack. The French company which
had momentarily yielded later pushed
forward, aided by reinforcements and !
an intense artillery fire under which |
the Germans feared their retreat !
would be cut off,
Officer Displays Heroism.
When the French counter attack
had attained the refinery itself 1t was
found that the Germans already had
Withdrawn, and the position was
promptly organized by the French.
During this work non-commissioned
officer remained for eight hours at his
post directing his men, and this in
spite of the fact that he had a splinter
from shell in his thigh.
In period of three weeks nearly
7, 900 Germans have been buried and
more than 5000 have been taken pri-
soners' by the same French regi-
ment." ..-...
