FRENCH STATEMENT.
PARIS. May Z:

PARIS. May Z:
terday at the close of day at Baga-
telle, in the Argonne. 1t resulted IN
a complete failure.
On the remainder Of the front. partic-
ularly to the north of Ypres and In
the region of Vauquois, there have
been violent artillery engagements.
The German general staff persists IN
giving false details concerning their
offensive engagement. During the
last fifteen days the enemy has SUI
fered complete checks and severe
losses.
The German attack April % by two
army corps using asphyxiating gas
bombs had as it's object the piercing
of the Ypres front. The greater por-
tion of the prisoners captured from
us were overcome by fumes: We
suffered no check. The rapidity OF
our counter attacks prevented the
enemy from attaining the left bank
of the User canal and from estap-
fishing strong position on the right
bank
In these combats we inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy. Our actual
front was established only two kilo-
meters tabout mile and quarter
behind the original front our men
are now provided with means to pro-
tect them against similar attacks
with asphyXia ting bombs.
Being unable to pierce our lines anu
compel us to give up possession OF
Ypres, the Germans used a marine
gun, firing distance Of thlrty-e1ght
kilometers tabout twenty-three and
one-half miles,. on Dunktrk ms
gun, which ceased firing after Two
days. did damage of no military I'M
portance.
April o3 the Germans endeavored to
retake Les Eparges with three dlvi-
sions. Heavy fighting occurred IN
the neighborhood of St Remy ana
Calonne and on Les Eparges heights,
but the Germans were repulsed by
counter attacks. The number OF
losses was shown by great heaps OF
bodies. 1t may be said that the
three divisions were decimated.
Important progress has been MADE pS
the allies in the Bots lie Pretre. the
Bois daily and the Bois de Mont
mare April % the Germans at
tackled and captured the summit OF
Hartmans sWeilerkopf. but their sue
cess was brief. We retook the sum
nit the following day. forcing the
enemy a distance of 200 meters be-
yond the crest We also made prog
ress in the region of Schnepfen-
Riethkopf, where guns of the enemy
We're captured.
To sum up: During the last fifteen days
the enemy has attempted heavy Of
fensive. which we speedily broke
down. The total of the German loss
es in the heights of the Meuse, In
the Woevre and the Nosges has been
more than $4,000 At no part have
they broken through our lines. They
have taken no important position
from us. They have allowed half a
dozen of their finest regiments to be
decjnated

The English Pub.

An American Observer" in the London Morning
Post.
For all practical purposes. as far as
the public is concerned. an English
public house is as truly three. and
sometimes even four. different resorts.
as though that number of different es-
Establishments were lined up along the
street, one next to the other. each un-
der a different ownership and each un-
der a separate license. This is most
formidable fact, which seems to have
largely escaped the attention which it
deserves, as well from the public au-
thorities as from social students and
reformers. The real truth is that il we
fact. on the average, practically three
distinct drinking places with an en-
tirely different clientele in each, we
find that the number of places for the
exceeds that given by the usual statis-
tics. and the proportion of such num-
ber to population is very much more
unfavorable to these islands. as COM
pared with other countries, than is
generally understood. The direct corol-
larry from the above is that were the
partitions or screens separating the
different classes of bars" in the pub
lie houses knocked away-if the law
required all service for consumption on
the premises to be made in one open,
undivided room, the number of drink
ing resorts would be reduced automat-
ically to very great extent. The
British nation is. politically, among the
most democratic: in personal habits it
is possibly the least so. Here, caste is
king as perhaps nowhere else among
the white races. and few public houses
could hold their present clientele were
their customers compelled to mingle to-
gether as are those resorting to SINH
lar esta blishments in other countries.
Such a change would force the licensed
vender Of intoxicants to choose what
character he prefers to give to his
premises, and what class of trade he
would endeavor to purvey to. and his
clientele would be confined almost ex-
clusively to one social class.

A Threat to King Cotton :!
From the Chicago Journal.

The fiber of the silk cotton" tree Of
the tropical East Indies has been brought
into notice by the war. 1t is claimed that
cloth woven of this fiber Is much lighter
and stronger than fabrics made Of ordi-
nary cotton, and that it is waterproof as
well There are reports. likewise. that
the tree is quite easy to cultivate. II just
half of these stories are true. America will
have to look sharp to maintain her pres
ent supremacy in supplying the worlds
chief clothing material Even il the
stories are only 10 per cent true, they
should serve as a stimulus and warning
la warning against idle optimism and a
stimulus to research.
As a really important clothing material
cotton is not quite as old as the America n
republic. 1t superseded older fabrics

mainly because Of its cheapness: 1t may
be forced to yield its present dominant
position by any competing substance
which has decided advantages in either
cost or quality, and which can be pro-
duced in large enough quantities to salts
fy the tremendous modern demand. 1t
would seem the part of wisdom for our
vast cotton industry to do a little research
work in this line. If the throne of King
Cotton is firm. knowledge of that fact
would be a cheering and vastly important
piece Of information If the king is likely
to yield to successor every effort should
be made to see that the new fiber mon
arch Is domciled in America

The affidavit further states that Mr..

fore his death, changed his beneficiary
from his wife. with whom he was not
living, to his children by his first mar
