DR.. Nascher, who has given a great

of the proposed work.

fession.' he said. Mind you, I say
comparatively. There have been singu-
larly few books written in the Eng
lish language on the subject. including
one Of my own. published recently,
but the subject itself is Of far greater
Importance than Is generally realized.
1T IL certainly true that the per-
centage of deaths occurring after
the age Of 40 years Is much larger
than II vas formerly. though that
statement Is not so alarming as II
might he considered to be II 1t were
taken by itself, and 10 years is by
no means an arbitrary dividing line
between youth and old age.
The primary reason for the change
In the percentage of mortality tables
Is the Improvement that has been
made In the death rate among chill
dren. II was formerly reckoned that
one-half OF the children horn into the
world died before they reached the age
Of s years, whereas 1t is now figured
that only about one-quarter OF them
die in their first Ave years. When
the death rate s figured according to
a percentage rate of course the fig

TWeIye-Year-OId Girl Takes
Own Life in KaW.
Feared Outcome of Love Note
to a Little Boy Friend.

Rather than have her mother know
that she had written a note to a boy
sweetheart, it is said, little Violet
Woods, the II year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Woods, 1877 En-
NETT street, plunged from the top of
Sardou bridge into the Kaw river Fri
day evening and was drowned. The
girl was discovered near the middle
of the river just below the bridge. She
was taken to the home of Kilmaurs
King in North Topeka, where firemen
with the city pulmoter for two hours
made an unsuccessful effort to revive
her.
The body of the girl was discovered
in the river by Hal Wolfe, Adrian
Dyner and Roscoe Neiman, three East
side boys.
About a week ago, according to
companions of the little girl at State
Street school, Violet wrote a note to a
boy sweetheart and laid it on his desk.
Another girl found it before the boy
and took it to the teacher. The teach
err threatened to show the note to the
little girls mother.
P1aymates of the little girl say that
she threatened to drown herself if
the teacher carried out the threat.
There was nothing out of the ordi-
nary about the note.

bered and forced to give way, covered
themselves with glory and admittedly
saved the day, preventing the onrush-
ing Germans from penetrating the
main Anglo-French-Bel line They
lost heavily but their work is praised
in the warmest terms.
When the Germans charged the al
lied position along the line from
Steenstaate to Longemarck, the Cana
dams were forced to fall back in order
to avoid complete humiliation. Out
numbered and subjected to lombard
ment by the enormous German guns
that threw explosives and shells filled
with the most deadly gases, the Cana
dams fell back on their main sup
port, abandoning four of their cannon.
Reforming under the fire, they de-
veloped a surprisingly strong counter
attack, recapturing the cannon and
taking many German prisoners. in
Guiding a colonel. The Canadians then
withdrew step by step fighting every
inch of the way. They took with them
their cannon and supplies, finally
making a stand at an agreed on point
until their support reached them.
Fighting Continues.
The fighting along the line from the
User to the junction of the canal and
river continues with undated ferocity.
The Germans are bringing up heavy
reinforcementS and are plainly en-
deavoring to once again hack a way
through to the sea. The ground over
which the fighting is progressing is
low and it is almost impossible for the
troops to take cover. In consequence,
the losses on both sides are admit
tedly the heaviest since the initial
fighting of last August. General
French has sent reinforcements to the
Canadians and every effort is being
made to check the German offensive.
Many of the German troops who are
now engaged are Prussians of the first
line who have been withdrawn from
General Won Hindenbergs army on
the eastern Russian front They are
we'll supplied with artillery, including
heavy field guns and the great Aus
trian automobile guns. 1t is reported
that many members of the kaiser'S
personal staff are at the front along
this new battle line, which is held to
indicate the Importance the Germans
are attaching to the fighting.

range of predictions today. Colonel
Roosevelts examination is far from

be renewed Monday. He will then be
examined on redirect examination by
his own counsel and then finished off
with recrosS examination.
While the Roosevelt forces were
ju bilant today over results Of the first

ton was equally confident.
1t was reported today that Barnes
has a big surprise in store for the
colonel.
THE higher they go the farther
they fall and the harder they hit
was the view of Barnes attorney to-
day. 1t was pointed out that the
Barnes side has not yet shown it's hand
or introduced any testimony in his ia
vor except deductions to be drawn
from Roosevelt's hostile statements.
The Barnes plan is to discredit the
