Resume Battle
North of ArraS

PARIS, June 29.-After a lull
Of 10 days the battle north of the
Arras was violently resumed to-
day. Reopening with heavy artil-
lery bombardment, the German
lines were shelled before the
French made their rushing attack.
The Germans were driven back
with considerable loss from An
gras to Ablain. The French are
delivering an attack about Given
chy. While the fighting is in
progress about a mile in the front,
1t is believed to foreshadow a
great French offensive movement.

Old People With Young Friends
From the New York Mail.


make new friends to keep alive. y
says~some keen philosopher in Golfers;
1.-THE ability to go right on making
friends-friends younger than we are
lis one sign of mental freshness ard
spiritual vigor. !" Good talk, and prac-
teal, too; for an old man or an old
woman can easily make friends among
the young if he or she retains young
heart. The young and middle-aged are
actually fond of meeting and talking
with old people, provided these old
people have alert and open minds. The
experience Of years and the wisdom
which ought to come with age are an
element of interest and attra ction to
the young. But if age has made aper-
son crabby and intolerant-if it is
evident that the strange and new views
of the young or middle aged shy away
from the old person and leave him to
his past, to his isolation. A merry old
lady fond of the young. can have as
many youngsters about her, to keep
her young. as she chooses; and this
town contains many old radicals who
have joyous following of young men
at their beck and call. But the old
conservative Is unfortunate. Conser-
vatism means withdrawal, and he who
withdraws cannot complain if he is left
alone.

Frohman's Last Words.
From the New York sun.

The fight of years will not efface
the stain made upon nations repu-
tation by the slaughter of the innocents,
but it will end the agony of grief and
will leave only sad memories. Among
them will be some which, men and
woman will cherish because Of their as
ISOLATION with the disclosure of the
better traits of humanity. Death is a
pitiless destroyer of shams. In the
presence of the last of terrors man can
not be poseur; he must stand forth
revealed in his completest truth.
Naked came into this world: naked
go out of it. = was spoken of the body.
but may equally be said of the soul.
Some who persisted near Old Head of
Kinsale did brave and generous deeds
One whose bodily weaknesses made
brave deeds impossible spoke great
words. We do not know what Charles
Frohman's faith was. but the words he
spoke to Rita Jolivet might have fallen
from the lips of Epictetus or Marcus
Aurelius; 'Why fear death? tits the
most beautiful adventure in hfe." Mr..
FNohman was known asareserved man,
a shy man; but in the presence of death
his spirit refused to be masked. and in
its hour of flight it's true greatness was
discovered.

WHEN THE RANGE is FOUND
Correspondent Writes Of the Effect Of
Shell Fire on the Ranks Of
the Enemy.

Crash! roar from out of the rum
BILE, puff of white smoke and rain
of lead on the very men l had been
watching! The Germans had found
the range exactly, but the distance
was too great for me to distinguish
what execution they were doing among
those stirred ranks. Then came a
long siren whistle screening through
the air from the distance. Again a
twinkling flash against the blue, again
puff OF, rich, feecy smoke, and an
other she'll had scattered death on the
men helplessly waiting below.
Fascinated, we watched those little
twinklings Of flame and puffs of white
smoke Whence came they, we won
dered, and by what weird skill were
they made to burst sQuarely over their
Intended prey? Was it the science of
man or was 1t, as we half believed, the
cajolery Of some demon gloating over
the helplessness Of his victims? Again
the azure was broken by little white
puf-again we wondered-whence?
Click click-click- click click
the murderous machine gun was start
ing its music. What an engine Of de-
struction! Nothing in the world seems
SO heinous as the swapping, clacking
rattle of the machine guns splitting
forth its rain Of bullets.-Arthur
Sweetser, in the Worlds War.

cause he said it. was always printing
a lot of things about the same people
and he said he was sick of it. Now
when something goes. wrong with the
country the government appoints a
commission to investigate end find out
what is the matter, and the first thing
the commission investigates is the man
who made the holler to see if the hol-
Ter was a reasonable boiler. So we
appointed commission consisting of
ourselves to investigate this man. We
just followed the mans career ever
since we knew him. The first thing
that happened to that man was that
he was born, but he had nothing to do
with it. However. we mentioned him,
although his parents were entitled to
the credit When he was in his early
twenties he got married. We mention
ed that, including the name of the
bride, the preacher, etc. in fact we

er's fee, which was not worth men,
tioning. We never mentioned the ia ct
that he never won any premiums 1T
the country fair, because he never ex,
hibited anything. We never mentioned
his name in the list of committees, be-
cause he never attended anything.
We never mentioned his name in the
list of donors because he never donated
as much as doughnut. We certainly
have been treating this man shame
fully, put we will agree to run a nice
obituary when the time comes.

Communicated


General Sherman is reported to have
said that "War is He'll" But war is
not hell. If it is impossible for the
heart Of man to conceive the glories Of
heaven, the desirable, how utterly i'm
possible is it to conceive the other
place whose existence we strive to
forget !? From the depths Of hell there
is no recovery. but from war there is
sure recovery. 1t is an awful disease
and during its continuance the patient
suffers the torments of the damned.
With tense attitude and strained exer-
tion thesrelatives, the world wide kin,
attend its every symptom Fear of the
result grips their hearts and pinches
their bodies, till they are almost q
duplicate of the sufferer-hut recovery
is certain.
The present war in Europe is as bad
as bad can be, Typhoid, small pox,
diptheria. scarlet fever, rolled into one
could be no worse, but some day the
patient will open his wild eyes and ask
"Where am I?''
Prophets galore are locating that
day and none of them agree, True
and sure prophesy is however within
the realm of belief and dependence.
but to insure this credence it must
emanate from men of large brain and
ainOular norannnlitv
Of such were the prophets of Judea.
OF such also was Tolstoi, and in this
category, Bismark finds place.
To these last two, the trend of his
tory for the last few decades presaged
the results they predicted as surely as
the mathematical problem that two
and two are four.
Both made remarkable prophesies
regarding these times. Tolstoi two
ears before his death predicted the
Balkan war, and the monstrous confia-
grafton that is now consuming Europe,
giving the dates correctly He predic-
ted the end of present ruling dynasties
and closed his prophesy by saying that
peace would not settle down upon Eu-
rope untiFthe year 1925,
Bismark forty years ago predicted
that the government of the United
States would last but fifty years. That
brings its demise also in the year 1925.
The malady out of which the present
European delirium is the natural Sc
quence is misapplied government re-
sulting from impure politics. Militar-
ism is only a phase Of politics. lis
baneful influence in government ever
tends to disastrous national finality as
has been fully demonstrated 9 many
times IN history, and particularly in the
fall of Rome, 1t was patent to Tolstoi
that the German Military policy would
lead to her undoing.
We have slight attack of diseased
politics of which we are so unconscious
that not the least effort is being made
to check it. Thoughtless disregard Of
personal political duty, utter reckless
ness in the disbursement of the public
funds and a feverish desire to tinker
perfectly soundeconstitutions, national,
state and municipal are the most
dangerous symptoms. Bismark noting
these, our inefiency. our extravaganza
and our childish disrespect of the fun
damentai principles of our government,
made his prediction. 1t would do NO
harm to take it as warning at least.

Hunting on Lower Colorado.

To the hunter of game, both large
and small, the Colorado will appear
most notable as being the gateway to
what is undoubtedly the best easily
reached shooting ground in North
America, the delta country about the
head of the Gulf of California in Mex
leo. Here, besides a wealth of bird
life that isSequaled by few regions in
the world, are to be found wild pig or
javelin. deer, mountain lion, jaguar,
wildcat, coyote, antelope and noun
tain sheep. The delta country, with
its hunting. is generally the objective
Of the Colorado voyageur in any case,
and for one whose time is limited the
most expeditions plan will be to outfit
at Yuma and float down the river to
the end of the gulf from that point.
With plenty Of time at ones disposal,
it will be worth while to make the
Needles the point of embarkation, as
the stretch between there and Yuma
offers a rare combination Of fine
scenery with safe going that is eQualed
by few streams In America. Outing.

St. Hilda's Hall, Charles
Town.

The Editor of the Church News in a
recent visit to Charles Town, was great
ly delighted with the prospects fo- St.
Hilda's, our church school fer girls,
which will be opened next fall,
As has been stated before in the
'C.lurch News, Miss Duyal, of Stuart
Hall, Staunton, Va, has bought the
large building formerly known as
Powhatan College and is fitting it up
as Diocesan school for young ladies
under the auspices Of the Bishops of
West Virginia The building is very
large, with about ninety bedrooms,
twenty music rooms, large auditorium,
parlors, reception rooms, recitation
rooms etc.
1t has been thoroughly over hauled
and is being put in perfect order.
A new roof of asphalt shingles will
replace the present one, and the en-
tire building. except the gables and
tower, will be succeed and the wood
work painted.
New and approved wiring for electric
lighting has been done, the plumbing
overhauled and made entirely sanitary,
and new bathrooms put in, also the hot
water heating system put in perfect
order.
The porches. 300 feet long and Is to
20 feet broad, when the weather is
suitable will be used for outdoor reci-
tatioDs. The spacious grounds are be-
ing enlarged and beautified and a hand
some curbing and granolithic walk put
across the front of the premises.
Many of the Stuart Hall faculty
will accompany Miss Duval to Charles
Town and her new work, among them
Mr.. Hyatt her professor of music, who
has already rented the Mcdonald house
on Samuel street and with his family
will occupy it in June.
Miss Duval expects to keep up the
high standard of scholarships which
she has obtained, Her pupils enter
Bryn Mawr without examination.
We cannot recommend st. Hilda's
too highly to the parents of young
girls. The climate of Charles Towr
is delightful. and the charming towr
affords a peculiarly desirable>environ.
/ ment for the school. Since it is with
in two hours of Washington, arrange
ments will be made for occasional visits

Memorial Day.

South winds whisper with love,
Harvesting bees on the wing,
Earth in transport of joy
Dancing to welcome the spring.,
Yet where the soft shadows fall,
Sweet with the incense of May.
Silently, safely they sleep
Under the lilies the gray.
Murmuring ripple of brooks,
Birds all a-trill with delight,
Meadow and orchard and lawn
Dew bedecked, fair, flower bright
Only they peacefully sleep
Meath the green branches a-sway,
Under the blossoms of love,
Under the lilies the gray.
Though all the earth is awake,
Teeming with life and aglow,
Only with blossoms to-day,
Love for our brave we can show.
So with hearts pure as the f1ow'rs,
Pausing a moment to pray,
Let us remember who sleep
Under the lilies-the gray.
s. through the ages to come
Keeping thoughts nobler within,
Other lives purer will grow
That such as these have once been.
Hearts and the world will grow youn
Sweet with the incense of May,
Though hallowed dust they may slice.
Under the lilies the gray.
