Renewing an Old Square.

Cover the surface of the square thor
cughly with blue chalk; then rub off
the surplus. This will leave the divi-
sion marks clear and distinct in a
bright blue. and they will remain in
this condition much longer than would
be expected. Another and more
permanent method is to paint the
square with red lead and allow it to
dry for five or six hours; then dampen
a soft cloth in kerosene and wipe off
the surface coat. The paint will ad-
here in the marks and figures, thus
making them plainly visible.

guaranteed rainproof. although smoke
may be blown through it at the very

OF men. AT one place, Pctrograd

London, March 2S OO.20 D. m.l 49,
The battles for the Carpathian passes
continue with extreme violence, this
being the only region where. for the
moment fighting on a large scale is
taking place
In the west the commanders are
waiting COR better conditions before
making any effort on large scale. al
though the French here and there are
attempting 10 capture positions which
would give them an advantage when
the general offensive is decided upon.
Their more recent efforts have been
directed against the heights Of the

dun. In which both they and the Ger-
mans claim to have made gains. The
object OF these operations IL TO COM
