The liquor legislation program hangs
fire; the matter of compulsory Bible
reading In schools is a serious bone of
contention; the taxation measure Is up
in the air by inaninity and jealousy:
the run-of-mine repeal has been placed
ON the calendar to be slipped across
when nobody is looking; even the ap.
preparation bill which is the only thing
for which there is need, has not an.
preached form. The situation is lust
what might be expected of an admin.

BRITISH OFFICERS MISTAKE
Responsible For Heavy Losses Sus.
tained at Neuve Chapelle,

tained at Neuve Chapelle.
London. April 15.-Oficial confirma
tion OF the report that the heavy cas-
ualties suffered by the British at
Neuve Cnapelle March 10 were due to
mistake committed by one OF the
British commanders was obtained
when long dispatch from Field Mar
shal Sir John French reviewing the
fighting at that point was given out
by the war office. The British COM
mander specifically states that CON
siderable delay occurred after the
capture of Neuve Chapelle. The in
fantry was disorganized by the violent
nature of the attack" Further in the
dispatch he says: II am of the opin-
ion that this delay would not have oc-
Cured mad the clearly expressed or
der Of the commander of the first
army been more carefully observed"
The fact that British artillery fire
was to some extent the cause of the
heavy British losses at Neuve Chapelle
is now being limited at in the news
papers. These accounts say that the
artillery was directed to fire at GER
tain points, but owing to deranged
field, telephone service and to fog, the
fire was not raised when the British
troops took the first German lines.
General French reports the British
losses totaling 1881 in the three
days fighting ct Mcuve Chapelle as
follows: Killed, 1870 officers, 1887
men; wounded, 359 officers. STA
other ranks; missing, % officers, 1,72S

CAMELS IN WAR.
Tsmerlane Made a Curious Use ot
 Them at Delhi

Tamerlane Made a Curious Use of
 Them at Delhi.
 The camel has for centuries figured In the warfare of the east. History contains no more interesting example of the use of camels than that devised by the cOuQueror Tamerlane. This warrior, born in the summer of 1886, son of a humble Asiatic chicftain, rose by the sharpness of wit and strength of arm to be master of twenty-seven kingdoms extending from what is now the region of Moscow clear through India Tamerlane was terrible fig ure and a mighty warrior In those days men fought with brute force rath- CT than with engines of war. The sword was the chief weapon of offenSe.
 After a mighty struggle Tamerlane made himself potentate over the i'm mediate nations of Asia and gave to the city of Samarkaud a brilliant place in history.
