GERMAN DEAD
CHOKE TRENCHES
Enormous Losses on Both Sides
in ST. Nihiel Battle.
FIGHTING FOR EVERY YARD
French Are Slowly Pushing Ahead
East of Verdun Against Foes Fierce
Resistance.

The French movement between the
Meuse and the Lorraine frontier IS
developing a distinct offensive, with
General Jcffre pushing his advance,
while the Germans are making fierce
counter attacks.
The French drive seems to be q
general assault on the trenches of the
Germans. The fighting is described as
the most desperate since the winter
began, and the death toll is said to
be terrible. The French official re-
port tells of the capture of German
trenches choked with bodies. The Ge'
mans are stubbornly contesting every
yard Of ground.
According to analysis of the situa-
tion by the French general staff, the
French offensive movement of the last
few days has been on three sectors.
The first is on a front fourteen miles
to the east of Verdun, the actual line
running southeast from a point near
Etain; the second on a front between
St. Mihiel and Pont-a-Mousson, where
the French are attacking from the
south, and the third is in the north
in the vicinity of Gussainville, where
the French now dominate the valley
of the Orne and are threatening the
railroad beyond the river Orne with
attack.
The French advance is thus being
pressed from three bases in three diff.
ferent directions. According to Paris
official reports French forces on fronts
many miles long have occupied new
ground measuring from several hun
ared yards to two miles deep.
German troops have again estab'
lished themselves on the west bank
of the User in West Flanders, driving
the Belgians out of Drei Grachten
The German war Office made this an
nouncement. This is the second time
the Germans have occupied Drei
Grachten in ten days, having been
driven out by Belgian artillery fire
early in the week.
Another extended list of casualties
totaling 11S names was issued by the
British war office, and it emphasizes
the fercenes sof the battle of Neuve
Chapelle, in France. last month. The
killed In this latest list number 336.
(The British casualty list, when
added to those issued in the previous
two days. shows that total of 405S
men were either killed or wounded or
missing, and to large extent these
casualties are attributed to the battle
of Neuve Chapelle, which resulted in
the capture of that French town by
the British in the second week OF
March. Out of the casualty total of
4058 for the three days given, 1881
men were killed.)

IInrl,Iu khuLes Cause Strike.

The presence of stubborn and I'M
ruly mine mules in the Nottingham
mine of the Lehigh &, Wilkes-Barre
Coal company, at Willes-Barre, Pa,
is responsible for strike of 1900 EN-.
ployes, which completely tied up op'
erations.
The company issued an order di
recting the men to enter and leave the
Ross vein through the main gangway
instead OF by outlets and cross cuts.
The miners objected to the order,
because they were forced to carry dy'
Mantle into their chambers and that
because OF stubborn and unruly mules
in the gangways their lives were en-.
dangered.
The company officials refused to re-
scind the c:ler, and the miners de-
clared a strike, all employees joining
in a sympathy strike.

Tries to Escape.
Love and romance are impossible
when man is hungry. Daniel Max,
of Philadelphia, forgetting all the ar
dent promises he had made in the
early days of bliss, seized the hand OF
his sweetheart, Gene Foreman, and
bit the diamond engagement ring he
gave her..
He was hungry, he said-not for
love, but for food. The girl glared at
him when he called at her home, 2515
South Eighth street, and asked that
she give him tie ring to pawn.
She denounced him and shook the
diamond under his nose. Then he
stole it with his teeth and ran from
the house. A crowd of men and boys
chased Max and he was captured by
Policeman Truitt. The lover showed
fight, but was beaten into submission.

Hungarian correspondent. Nothing
would suit the Russian govern

Hungary from Austria in separate

Germany is making such great efforts
to hurry troops into the Carpathians.

to Declare Him Dead.
George w. Klump, whom his rela-

courts to declare legally dead in 1914,
when his parents died (though the
courts declined to make decree),

Missing for eighteen years, he was
thought dead, as in that period no
