For six months, he was daily exposed to shells and bull lets, and is unscathed; and she, who went full of joy and animation, to pay him a visit, is dead! Each re- ceived what belongs to him.
 Our soldiers are fighting for the right. I know not whether God will grant to such insignificant people as you and I are, life to see their ulti- mate triumph, out there can be no doubt that our Russian manhood will prove itself stronger than our enemies. Our front stretches from sea to sea, facing Germany, Austria and Turkey. The work of our foes now positively reminds me of a witch story, in which monsters, slain and cut to pieces, take their heads and limbs again, and come
 back to life. But this power is of the
 evil one, and only the Cross and prayer can prevail against it. By the might of these along there will come day when truth shall triumph. My husband is a national hero now.
 His portraits are everywhere. on post cards and calendars. But feel quite detached from all this. His health and final victory-I cannot think of | anything else.
 'Tf you only knew what we see in tho hospitals. At present, in my own nursing home, there are 75 wounded, and in the hospital about 700; in the Local Board hospital there are more than 1000, and in two private hospi

 During the Christmas and New Years holidays, I organized amuse
 ments and the distribution of presents the town were gathered into groups, each of which had its own nursing home and barrack. In this way, no one was forgotten, or given less than others.

 moral force are like the tense string l of a musical instrument, drawn as tightly as possible. His letters do not comfort him: Pray not for me, but for l Russia; Be firm in the thought that we have given our lives for our coun- try Such sentences, and the acts

Outside and in front of our trench were about twenty dead French and German soldiers. I had the unpleas- ant mishap to fall over a dead French soldier the night I left the trench with our officer.

It can make no possible difference to Hartford, whether or not it is cus- tomary to enforce the laws in New Haven or Bridgeport, or Norwich, or New London, or Haddan, or else where. If laws are being violated here they should be enforced. In the opinion of this paper the only point to be established is whether or not the conditions at the jail constitute vto- lation of our sanitary laws. If they do the answer is so obvious we will not insult the intelligence of the health board by suggesting it.-Hartford Post

Shells Cause Loss of Taste and smeI

shells cause Loss or I aste ana Smell.
 One of the curious effects of shell explosion reported at the British mili- tary hospitals is the loss of the senses of taste and smell. Dr. Charles Myers states that he has met three cases of this in his own experience. The men received no flesh wounds at all, but because of their loss of senses they could not distinguish by taste between sugar, Quinine, acid and salt, which felt alike to the tongue.
 These cases appear to constitute a definite class among shell shock. ef- fects," says Dr. Myers. "The shells in question appear to have burst with considerable noise. scattering much dust, but this was "ot accompanied by the production of pdor.

Miss Jane Addams delivered a lec- ture last Friday evening in Woolsey hall on Social Work Vs. War. Miss Addams pointed out to her audience how the present war tends to destroy all the social work previously agreed upon in the international meetings She also showed how the immigrants regarded the situation. She said that these immigrants look at the Euro pean countries and compare them with the thirteen charter colonies which formed the United States, and wonder why such a confederation Is not form ed in Europe. Since the immigrants of different nationalities live together peacefully here in America, they should be able to do the same in Eu- rope. Miss Addams finished by show ing how conditions are tending toward international cooperation and mention ed as an example the situation of the International Sailors union as con- nected with the present war. After her address Miss Addams answered many questions concerning social work and the war situation.

Next Friday, March 12, will be "Bundle Day" at Yale, under the di- rection of the Yale undergraduate Red Cross committee. In view of the fact that business conditions have great ly increased the want and need of the city of New Haven, the committee has decided to cooperate with the New Haven Red Cross committee, which is conducting an energetic cam paign throughout the city for the col lection of cast off clothing, and to make a concentrated effort to gather up all garments available for the poor of the city. All clothing collected will be turned over to the authorities of the Organized Charities association and the Yale Hope Mission, in order to insure their distribution to those who are really most in need. Desu1- tory attempts at old clothes collections have been made in the past, but it is hoped that this intensified effort will make it possible for Yale to have a much larger share in alleviating an unprecedented situation of poverty in the vicinity of the university. Each entry and house in the university, as far as possible, will be canvassed on Friday for the collection of all gar ments that are available. In order that the canvassing may be carried; on most systematically, committees have been chosen from each class, there being six representatives on each committee.

A historical cane carved by Robert Yale, of Norwich, N. Y., has been presented by him to the university, and has been placed in the trophy room of the gymnasium. This unique piece of workmanship is composed Of 1000 pieces of various kinds of wood and has some 60 historical records. The main stick is of oak taken from the oldest inhabited house in the than Fairbanks at Dedham, Mass. The head of the cane Is of oak and was taken from the tree to which Putnam was bound by the Indians to be roast ed alive during the French and Indian war Putnam was rescued by French officer named Molang. Upon the cane there have been carved many mottoS and quotations together with numer- ous representations. One of these rep resentationS is of Washington.

New Haven, March 11.-At a conference of the United German societies of the American col leges, known as the Deutscher Verein, held in Cambridge last Saturday, Ray mond T. J. Higgins. Yale 1917, of Nor wich, presented one of the six papers delivered in behalf of the German in terests in the European struggle. The paper, entitled, American Neutrality in the Present War, served as an ex- position of the fact that though America, as a nation, was keeping strict neutrality, the American people were exhibiting considerable partial ity by the vast exportations of sup plies and munitions of war. Statistics and reports of various German ambas- sadors and envoys were presented to confirm Mr. Higgins in his assertions. The United societies while in Cam bridge were the guests of the Har- yard members. The conference next month will be held in New Haven. At Cambridge Satu1 day representa- tives were present from Columbia, Princeton, Wesleyan, Dartmouth. Yale and Harvard. The Deutscher Verein has found an enthusiastic member in MT. Higgins, who was last month elected to the secretaryship of the Yale branch of the society.

great conveys of supplies and ammu-
nition- The army of Franchet d'Es-
percy, in spite of the fatigue of five
days fighting after Il days reereat,
forced its advance and reached the
line of Chateau-Thierry-2
taking cannon, 1900 prisoners and
a convoy of so baggage wagons. The
losses of Won Beulow's army on this
front were nearly equal to Won
Kluck's.
Foch's 7th army, marching on Ep-
ernay and Chalons-sur-Marne took
prisoners and booty and supported the
army of General Langle de Cary by
attacking in flank. the forces of the
Duke of Wuerttemberg. Langle de
Cary entered Vitry-le-Francois, which
was full of wounded, and progressed
toward Sermaize. The struggle be-
tween the crown prince and Sarrail
was still undecided. At Thriaucourt
Sarrail captured ammunition and on
the other side of the Meuse the Ger
mans completed the destruction Of the
forts of Troyon and attacked Sar-
rails rear, but were repulsed. They
tried to cross the Meuse lower down
toward Saint -Mihiel, but the French
3-in guns destroyed each bridge as
soon as thrown across.
The 11th, the army of the Duke of
Wuerttemberg vigorously attacked
in the center, gave way and retreated
in disorder, while the armies of Won
Kluck, Won Beulow and Won Hausen
took up positions on the line of the
Aisne.
This was practically the termina-
tion of the battle, though the army of
the crown prince held its ground un-
til the 18th when it began to retire
slowly.
The best estimates of the forces
engaged placed the Germans at l.
275,OOO and the Allies at 1,125,OO0.
The French are said to have lost
10000 killed. The Germans left
O,OOO dead, while 25O,OO0 wounded OF

retreat all along the line.
General Foch, at dawn, declared 10
his troops: "The situation is excell-
ent. l order again a vigorous often
sive."
The retreat of part of Won Beulow's
forces before Franchet d'Esperey
broke the German line and facilitat-
ed the efforts of Foch's army on his
right. The key to the heights of Sc
zanne, the Chateau of Mondement,
where the Prince Eitel Friedrich of
Won Kluck's staff had conferred and
dined with Won Beulow, was the CEN
ter of attack. The artillery drove out
the staff, after which the Moroccan
rifiemen penetrated the park of the
chateau-were driven out, attacked
again and were repulsed. A third as
sault succeeded and in the park lay
5000 dead Germans, including two
generals. Whole battalons of French
troops were annihilated there.
Fere Champenoise and Sommesous,
after Sezanne, fell into the hands of
FOch's army. Sommesous, counter-at-
tackled by the Prussian Guard, re-
manned in their hands only. the time
necessary for the French forces to
reform. Two regiments of the 18th
corps charged and drove out the 4th
regiment of Grenadiers of the Queen
Augusta and the 4th regiment of
Grenadiers of the Emperor Fran
els.
A vital development of the days
fighting was the discovery, by avia-
tors, of a gap between the armies of
Won Buelow and Won Hausen's armies,
the effect of Won Beulow's retreat,
leaving Won Hausen's right flank ex-
posed. By an audacious and oppor-
tune maneuver, General Foch mass
ed his right in this gap under cover
of night, before Won Hausen's flank,
and threw his adversary back upon
the marshes of Saint-Gond in disor-
der. The German losses there were
heavy.
The army of Langle de Cary was
very heavily engaged around Vitry-
le-Francois, where the forces of the
Duke of Wuerttemberg counter-at-
tackled fiercely. The artillery fire
crossed here over the town of Vitry-

flames. At Pargny and at Maurupt.
