Show Textile Growth.

The development of the textile in
dustry in New Jersey, from the hand
loom to the most complicated lace
weaving machine and from century
old home-spuns to silks, is shown in
an exhibition arranged by the Newark
Museum Association in the Public
Library Building in Newark. Inter
ests of department store employees
has been so great hat John c.. Dana.
Director of the new museum, may take
the exhibits to New York after the
exhibition ends in Newark on March
IA.
Following the exhibition of New Jer-
sey's clay products last year. Mr..
Dana and other Directors of the
museum decided to gather all the pro-
ducts of the textile industry, because
that State led in the manufacture OF
silks, embroideries, and similar goods.
With the aid of the New Jersey Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, the Muse
UNI Association gathered exhibits of
all periods. Many textiles of Colon
ial days and the machines used in
making them were found in obscure
villages after months search. .One
was an old loom, more than $50 a
old, used by a New Jersey house wife
to make cloth for trousers long be-
fore both the American and Industrial
Revolutions.
Glasses of five persons or less are
taken through the exhibit by instruct
ors' who explain the making of rugs.
laces, and silks, and show the making
OF a velour from the rabbit to the
hat. Miss Helen C. Perry, an assis-
tant to the Director, is making an eff
fort to take all the Newark public
school pupils through the exhibit to
show them the work of the Colonial
children.
1t is hoped to make these exhibit
tions the basis of a permanent muse
UNI in Newark, and the Directors are
attempting to get an appropriation TO,
a museum building.

Naval Base in Jersey.

A submarine and torpedo boat base
and an aviation training ground are
contemplated in the plans of the
United States Government, which re-
suited in the purchase of a ten-mile
strip of land at Barnegat Inlet. The
price paid was S120, 900, and it takes
in a width 1900 feet from Sea Side
Park to North Point Beach. The prop.
erty was obtained from George W.
Dorrance of New York and the North
Point Land Company.
1t is expected the Government will
enlarge the inlet and dredge a canal
from the inlet to the Island Beach
life saving station. This passage is
to be used for torpedo boats and for
the establishment of a base for such
boats and submersibles. A school of
aviation is to be established.

TeutOns Advance on 12-MiIe Front, After Clearing Woods
by Artillery Fire--Claim 16,575 Prisoners Seized

RUSSIANS PUSH VICTORIOUS TURKISH CAMPAIGN

London.-The tide of battle around
Verdun has not apparently set in
favor of either side. While the Ger
mans claim further advances, the
French are equally emphatic in their
claim of having checked the attacks
of the masses of German infantry
sent against them.
Fort Douaumont is in ruins. Around
this position the most desperate
fighting of the battle has been going
on. Here French counter-attacks
were delivered with such crushing
force that some of the German de-
tachements were driven back, and
regiment was almost encircle.
To the west of this fort, in a hand-to
hand encounter the French have ejec-
ted the Germans from a small re-
doubt which they had captured.
The German forces at the beginning
of the Verdun operations numbered
100000. They now exceed $50, 1000.
Checked in front of Verdun, the
German forces astonished observers
by a fierce attack in the Champagne
region which gained for them about
a mile of trenches. This IS admitted
by Paris, which says the attack was a
surprise, and resulted in the taking of
a line Of first trenches and a sup
porting trench. Berlin says 1000
soners, 26 officers, 8 machine guns
and a mine-thrower we're captured
as a result of the assault.
This fresh demonstration is regard
ed in Paris as disquieting. 1t was
thought all available resources and
all attention had been concentrated
on the attempt to take Verdun. The
Champagne battle scene is 100 miles
from Paris. Verdun is, roughly, 140
miles from the capital.

Par1s.-For the time being at least
the great German offensiv, aimed at
Verdun seems to be at a s%tandstill.
D~isregarding unfavorable weather
conditions amid a heavy snowstorm,
the Germans centered their offensive
on the ridge of hills to the east Of
Champ Melville, but although large
numbers of electives were used and
the assault was unprl sedenteG in VOL
ence no further gain was made.
General Joffre, commander of the
French, arrived at Verdun to person
ally direct the defense of the fortress.
Across the battle front the Kaiser,
surrounded b. his staff officers, and
the Crown Prince are planning the
blows being struck in the greatest
German offensive since the defeat at
the Marine.
The German offensive is recognized
now as probably only the beginning
of a determined effort to take the
fortress, formerly the key to the
French front, and compares in VOL
ence and losses to the battle of the
User.
A report has been received here
that the Turks have been heavily
defeated by the Russian under Grand
Duke Nicholas near Bitlis.

GALLANT LITTLE
LOVER IS KILLED
Winner Of Contest Killed In
Moment Of Victory by
Automobile

Tacoma, Wash, May 4.-One of two
childish rivals for the admiration of a
little girl of Loveland lies dead today
as the outcome of a friendly tussle over
a bouquet of prairie flowers that the
victor was to present to the little girl,
George Ehlers, aged g. with a joyful
cry Of victory on his lips, ran out on
the highway at Loveland with the
coveted wild flowers and was struck
and instantly killed by an automobile
stage.
George and his rival of the same age
had agreed that "she' should be pre-
sented with bouquet. The two would
wrestle for the honor of presentation.
The flowers were picked and thrown
to the ground and the friendly contest
began. Companions cheered their fav-
orite. Then finally George jerked the
flowers from his rival and darted
across the highway. Cheers suddenly
changed to cries of grief as the chill
dren saw George hurled to death by
the automobile. The little girl did not
witness the combat or its fatal ending.

country TO collect the farm products
The grange has coupon books which are

ported to congress with the view of

The time taken in framing the re-

that a temporizing message would be

explanation of the delay.

deemed satisfactory. 1t was stated that
the president had not wavered in his
