MALE WAR BABIES.

Some months a report from big London district
indicated that contrary to the accepted tradition more
girl babies being born than boys Feminsts and
pacsts seized the figures suggesting that even
against war and refused to produce
for cannon fodder.
Now complete reports from England seem to
the old belief that nature in mysterious
does adjust the of the generation repair
the ravages of war.
Statistics for hirty-six towns in England and Wales
show "a surplus of boy babies that is unprecedented.
In the first three months Of this year. for every 1000
girl babies 1882 boys For the second three
months there 45 more boys than girls, and for
the next three months 55 more.
That extra FIVE and one-half boys for every
hundred girls 1t means the addition of about one
every twenty born normally. And if this ratio
maintained, it might actually make up, within
a years, the nations male deficit by war
fatalities.
There may be scientific explanation" for this boy
baby tradition. And yet here the figures And
what the skeptical scientists going do about

WHATTDAY \ MEAN. A JOB

VIA II DAl n MEAN n JOD+
Ia olden days it used to be,
When men asked for a place,
They really wanted work, you know,
And thought it no disgrace;
But nowadays. that's not the thing,
They want the job for sure,
Not for employment that it brings,
But as a sinecure.
1T will be an unpopular thing to
say. but We subscribe TO the senti-
ment embodied in Sen. Cummins
senate resolution that lit ought to
be made impossible for any person
or corporation TO make money out
of war" And that is all we care to
say about it, except that the reasons
are obvious.
WE enjoyed reading that part of
the presidents speech at Columbus

people whose individual lives have
been transformed by Christianity.

tingent as much entitled to sainthood

BERLIN, by wireless, April 10
The German war Office under date OF
April 10 has given out q report on the
progress Of the war which reads:
Engagement5 between the Meuse
and the Moselie continued yesterday
with nndi1nfnishe violence No en-
Eagement yet has taken place near
the towns Of Fromezey and Coussain-
vile, which the French report as hav-
Ing zeen taken by them. Between the
river Orne and the heights Of the
hIeuse the French were severely de-
feated All OF the French attacks
from the heights Of Con4bres, north OF
st. Mihiel and on the Ailly-Apremont
front, near Flirey. have been repulsed.
Near F1irey in consequence of former
heavy French losses the fighting yes
1erday was less violent. Further at
tacks on the Remenauville front and
in the forest of LePretre and the at
tempt to conquer Bezange lie Grande

ray ASSOCIATED PNEGs,

LONDON, April 1nThe French
with the capture Of Les Eparges have
obtained one Of the main objects OF
their advance to the southeastward
from Verdun. The position at Les
#Eparges dominates the plains of the
Woevre and It's occupation by the
French is announced officially.
Progress from Verdun means heav-
Ter pressure on the northern flank OF
the Germans holding st. Mihiel,
while the southern flank is threat
ened by the French advance between
Pont-au-Mousson and the Meuse. NJ
In the southern part of this field
Of operations the Germans are de-
lfvering almost continuous counter
attacks. They have made fifteen as
sau1ts on one point. It is evident
that the French are not only attempt
ing to capture st. Mihtel. which al
ways has been a dangerous point
since its wedge was driven into the
line Of the allies, but.are at the same
time seeking to aid Russia by pre-
venting the withdrawal OF German
corps to the relief of the hard-pressed
German and Austrian forces in the
Carpathians.
Rumors that Austria is aboutsto
conclude separate peace grow in
rumber and persistency every day.
These areaccompanied by evidences
that Italy is showing increasing un-
easiness over the situation.
