The British steamer Aguila was

She was owned in Liverpool.
1900 Germans Lay Down Lives.
Chalons-Sur- -Marne. France. March
r29.-EIeven thousand German dead
have been taken from the trenches
won by the French during 20 days OF
lighting in the Champagne country
The German losses in killed, in pris-
oners and in wounded are estimated
by the French military authorities
at $4,000
The German wastage, they say, has
been two to one compared with the
French losses, because the Germans
would try to regain lost ground by
counter attacks, repeated again and
again, with obstinate courage. It was
in these counter assaults, supported
by relatively inadequate artillery and
what the French officers assert was
Inadequate morale, against the allied
troops that so many German soldiers
have fallen.
The graves in which they are buried
by 6fties and by hundreds are thick
upon narrow front of some Is miles.
Gain Ground Day BY Day.
For nearly a month now the French,
their officers declare, by the superior
ity of their artillery of both large
and small caliber and by certain
Irresistible spirit, have day by day
gained ground, sometimes few hun
dred yards of trenches, on other days
a mile of frontage and from 500 TO
500 yards deep.
The Germans are bringing up new
contingents steadily. They have had
in action on this segment of the fight
ing lines during March five army
corps, or about 100000 men. Yet, on
the evening of every day the French
officers assert that the French have
held somewhat more of the field than
they did the evening before.

The Age Of Girls Consent.

So far as the age of consent is con
cerned we see no reason why it should
be placed lower than IS years. A girl
is not legally OF age in other respects
until she is that old. She cannot sign
away her property rights and why
should she be capable of signing away
those rights which are so much more
precious to her? Virtue is still more
than all other things combined for a
young girl. Without it she is nothing,
hardly the dregs OF humanity, without
defense, without standing. When she
is Is years old lit is soon enough for
her to dispose Of that one priceless
thing. And as for the men who lamp.
err. with blooming girls, why should
we have any regard for them, either
in law or public opinion? Let them
suffer the consequences and the peni-
Tertiary is none too bad a place for
them. We esteem q murderer more
than ravisher.-Cedar Rapids Repub.

THE MESSAGE OF EASTER.

To many people the Easter music
and flowers and preaching bring no
particular message Their minds are
clouded by doubts about the literal
truth of the Easter story as told in the
Scriptures.
Yet when did doubts ever accomplish
anything in this world? The people
who do real things set their question
ings behind them. Columbus saw his
new world beyond the seas, even if he
could not demonstrate it by the laws
of logic. The men who in recent years
built the first air ships believed in the
possibility of flight, although the thing
could not be proved mathematically.
To do anything worth while, many
things must be taken on faith. People
go ahead on business deal with hope
and confidence, even if the thing can
(. not be proven to be sure success by
any arithmetic. Yet when it comes to
the realm of religious thinking, they
demand absolute demonstration, ex.
Guiding all possibility of error, before
they will accept statement as his
torically correct.

I Tne PEACE CONGRESS.

The women of Holland have issued
an invitation to the women of the
world to attend peace congress at
the Hague next month, at which a
wOman'sf protest will be formulated
against the present war and an at
tempt will be made to organize, mobii

sible, the sentiment of women regard
ing militarism and war.
Women. particularly will demand
the rightfo be heard in the peace con
gress atsWhich the issues OF the pres
ent war will be settled.
This Is most timely movement. for
which the women of the Netherlands,
under their great queen, will be COM
mended. Women undoubtedly are en-
titled to be heard regarding the sub.
iect of war, since they form half the
population of the world and are the
chief sufferers by war. Heretofore
they have delegated this right to be
heard but If they now demand it back
and propose to speak for themselves
they are entitled to full hearing and
their influence will be great in any de-
cision that is reached as to the future
of .militarisnl.
Not only should women be heard in
the peace congress to come. Finance
should be heard. The leading bank
ing houses of the world, which are now
international, and not merely national
agencies, should be directly represent
ed. The great commercial interests,
exporters and importers, industrial
leaders, should be heard. They should
