his sense Of sight Evidently this would be the
most convincing way If DR. Hutchinson could
feel very sure no one knew he was trying the
experiment or was playing joke on him.
No one can prove TO another the nearness OF
the supposed departed. No individual can give
conclusive proof OF this TO a fellow being. And
here is DR.. Hutchinsons statement of the same
fact: I'VE are absolutely incapable OF realizing
how utterly alone in the universe each one OF
US human beings is" Then naturally each one
Of US must prove the truth of these assertions
to our own satisfaction
The soul of the supposed departed is a
mighty important factor in the advancement OF
the human race. The father who has left his
body behind in the restful graveyard has much
that he wishes TO do wants to do for his
family that he has neglected to do while in the
body. There is absolutely nothing now that he
has ever done. pertaining to mistakes, that
doesn't rise up before him; the things he
might have done stand out like whipcords on
a mortals brow. These regrets urge him on
TO try TO do for his family with the disem-
bodied spirit what he neglected to do when
he had all the bodily hindrances.
How can we believe for a moment that the
soul can leave the body without lowering about
the loved ones he has left on the earth plane7

this question: How can there be when the
proofs must come from individual investigation
only? How could a spirit make kself felt or
known to DR.. Woods Hutchinson?
There is only one answer. and that IS: Let
DR.. Hutchinson open his mind to conviction. or
to what he now thinks the impossible For in
stance he could isolate himself for a time, say
little while every day and he should go out in
the open field, where he would be positive no
unruly wind rustled the trees and bushes. Very
likely it would be best, in this instance If he
lected tall. barren rock and mind you, it must
or should be in the daytime under a cloudless
sky and a sparkling sun. (This would be abso-
lutely necessary in order to convince DR.. Woods
Hutchinson) Then he should think, with all the
love and tenderness in his heart, of a dear one
that has passed beyond his immediate vision.
If once isn't enough he might continue this ex-
pertinent for some time, then notice the result,
which, l think, will be through the senses in
some form For instance, if the loved
passed away from tuberculosis there will be
this same feeling consuming his being or if by
accident through fire, the terrible burning sensa-
ton; or through drowning, the stranging SEN
sation AID on. But it must be of a loved one
he is thinking. II may take long time, but the
desired results will surely appear if the right
method is strictly pursued. Then If he is brave
enough he might behold his loved one through

Do We Get Messages from the Dead? B,

and felt. The common order of things proves
this for itself. How could humanity have
advanced. alone and unaided. and have accom-
piished what our great mortals have in, say, the
last fifty years, if there had not been always,
from the time man stood upright and attempted
to think for himself, many spirit minds striving
for the betterment of mortality?
Great honor is due the mortals who have &C
complished much. Evidently the great trou-
BILE from the dismembered spirits point of view
Is the shortage Of the mortals who are able TO
receive these impressions and who will likewise

LONDON, June 11.-From the Bal
tic To southeastern Galicfa the RUS
slams have poured fresh masses of
troops behind their battered lines and
have begun a vigorous counter often
siVe against the Austrians and Ger
mans They have already met with
some success in the Baltic provinces,
the German official statement receiv-
ed here admitting that the Teuton
force on the Dubissa. threatened by
an encircling mavement, had TO be
withdrawn. Towards Shawl, from the
southeast and on the Niemen, how
ever. the Germans report progress. al
though the Russians are making
vigorous defense More than 5000
prisoners have ben taken by the Ger
mans in the fighting il is reported.
The most optimistic news reaching
here. however, is that OF the Russian
offensive in Gahcia. which is reported
TO be making considerable strides.
South and east of Lemberg the Rus
SLAMS are said 10 be advancing and il
is apparent according 10 London mil
itary experts. that new phase Of the
Galician campaign has been entered
into. Heavy attacks also are being
directed by the cars forces against
the army OF Gen. Linsingen which
crossed the Dneister near Zurawna.
In the extreme southeastern GaliCia,
however the Russians are retreating
before an Austrian army operating
from north of CZernOwitz. Ii is the
opinion here. however. that this force
has the intention OF making its main
defense on the DneiSter where the
Russians have positions of great nat
ural strength and which have been
fortified until they are veritable
strOnghOlds
1t is believed here that if the Rus
SLAMS can throw back the German
army which crossed the Dneister at
Zurawna they viii be in "A position 10
save Lemberg and nat forth a vigor-
Gus offensive. which will regain much
OF their lost ground. Whether the
Russian artillery is sufficiently well
supplied and OF sufficient power for
such a campaign at this time, how
ever, is viewed with some doubt.

Dense Fog Has For Time Being
Brought EuII to Front-SeV-

BY French at Melville.

LONDON, June H. While the
Germans report minor successes and
the repulse OF several French attacks,
the midnight communique received
here from Paris states that a dense fog
has for the time being brought a lull
IN the fighting north Of Arras.
But the real feature Of the French
statement Thursday night is the story
II tells OF the battle for Neuville-St
Vast. and Of what the victors found
there after they had, battling from
house TO house and from roof TO roof
taken the village.
The Germans. behind the shutters
OF the houses and In small field fort
which they had established ia the viii
lage, defended the place with great
stubborHness. the report states. When
the French gained a foothold in the
village they Immediately started their
advance from house TO house and
through the narrow streets This kind
Of fighting is the most difficult any
army has TO face. Group after group
of houses were stOrmed, the Ger
mans suffering terribly in the close
fighting. Finally. their ranks thinned
and unable 20 defend further the posi-
tions they had held for weeks, the
remnants OF the Teuton force retired.
Then the French turned to an inven-
tory of the booty left in the town.
Find Machine Guns.
They found az" gun and several
machine guns. Then, in the houses,
the cellars and the tunnels dug from
cellar 10 cellar, they found the dead.
More than / 900 bodies were scattered
IN the shell-tOrn village homes. and
many were discovered in the tunnels
and galleries, where, wounded, they
had crept away to die.
On the heights Of the Meuse. Paris
reports a violent artillery battle re-
suited in the triumph of the French.
The German batteries were all sllenced
by the accurate fire of the heavy
French cannon.
Berlin Friday reported that the
fighting around Souchez and Neuville-
st. Vast still continues violently
Northwest of Souchez a French attack
was repulsed. but in the region of the
sugar refinery the attacking forces
gained slight successes. An attempt
to advance north Of Melville broke
down under the German fire.

Teuton attacks in the region Of Sou

have held ali the ground gained, de-
spite violent French counter attacks

held their new trenches.

ing around Hebuterne.
Paris reports the capture of some
machine guns. but Berlin states tina

that the French still hold sections OF
