Berlin.-More than $4,000 prisoners
have been captured by the Germans
since the Verdun offensive began, Feb
ruary q, it was semi-officially stated.
It is estimated by German military
critics that the French have lost near
ly 10000 men in killed and wounded.
On the west bank of the Meuse the
Germans have captured about 10
square miles of French positions, in
addition to the much larger area taken
on the east bank Of the river.
"NibbIing" Way Into Verdun.
Methodically, but with the certainty
of a well-regulated machine, the Ger
mans are smashing their way forward
on both sides of the Meuse, and to
borrow the expression. of an enemy
general, they are "nibbling" their way
into Verdun.
Fresh troops are continually being
sent to the front to relieve the vet
Grams who have played their part In
previous storm assaults.

Germans Use Liquid Fire.

Paris.-Attacking Dead Mans Hill
with liquid fire, the Germans captured
small fragments of French trenches In
furious fighting, but at every other
point in the fighting were repulsed.
The Germans debauched from Crows
wood, the War Office stated, but were
quickly caught under hot artillery and
infantry fire and routed.
The captured trench portions were
on the ridge east of Dead Mans Hill.
In bloody fight on the east bank o.
the Meuse, the Germans were checked
with heavy losses when they at
tempted to recapture trenches taken
by the French south Of DouaumOnt.
Liquid fire was also brought into play
in this attack, but the German ranks
were torn by French artillery.

A few hours ago when I was doing nv
mile on the avenue I almost got run down
and Mam'selle gave me an awful scolding
for being so absent t-minded. It was a true
word. 1 was just that-absent-minded-
because my mind was off chasing that
other half. And then 1 came back and
there l was on the avenue with people
staring at me more than they ever have
before. I suppose 1t was because was
out of breath with chasing in my mind.
Good-by, Alan. GLEN.
Alan sat in the circle of light from
the hanging lamp and stared into the
darkness. From the river came the
sound of sucking mud, then a heavy
tread. A monster hippo bIundered
through the bushes in search of food.

Deputy Pure Seed
Man. Here

M. L. Root, deputy state seed
inspector for northern Idaho, was
in the city yesterday and dropped
in for pleasant chat. He stated
that considerable interest is being
shown in his work in the north
ern part of the state and that
three organizations of seed grow
ers have already been organized,
one at Belmont, uniting with the
Athol people in north Kootena
county, one in Bonner county and
a third at Kamiah. Mr.. Root
hopes to organize another asso-
citation at Winchester and states
that he is paying more attention
at present to the logged-off Sec
tons of the state for the reason
that farms are not so large there
and the residents are more liable
to take to the growing of seeds
for the reason that they can real
ize large returns from a few
acres while the large farmers
will not bother with seed culture
at this time.
Mr.. Root advises the planting
of home grown seeds whenever
possible, not only to help the in

dustry in this country but because
much inferior foreign grown seed
has been placed on the market.
AS a slight idea of what the home
growing of seeds might mean to
this country, Mr.. Root states that
sixty millions of pounds of garden
seeds, thirty million pounds of
clover seed and twenty million
pounds of alfalfa seed are inn
ported into the United States an
nually from Europe and that at
present it is impossible to secure
sugar beet seed, which has been
purchased from Germany in the
past.
Mr.. Root said the farmers of
the grain sections must also come
to a realization in the near future
of the great Importance of supe-
rior seed, both in grains and po-
tatoes, and stated that there is
always a big demand for seed
potatoes at fancy prices but the
difficulty is to secure any that
will grade up to requirements.
1t is possible Mr.. Root may be
secured for lecture here some
time next fall or winter.
