Want City to Give 81 900 for Music
l. c. Norwood appeared before the city
council and asked that body to appro-
pirate $1,000 for music at the forth
coming centennial celebration 1t was
moved that the matter be referred to
the finance committee and that the
money, if appropriate be taken out of
the incidental fund This latter clause
brought Alderman GOsch to his feet
and a spirited session followed Mr.
GosCh referred TO the recent action of
the council in declaring there was no
money in this fund with which to send
number OF firemen to the Seagrave
factory to be instructed in the care of
ire trucks, or to send the police chief
to the Newark convention. Without
any money in this fund for these pur-
poses, it is hard to understand how

Miss Juanita Hansen, who plays the
heroine's part in 1.-THE Secret of the
Submarine" is trying to qualify as the
leading feminine daredevil Of the
screen. While taking a scene recently,
she was required to hang on grape
vine directly over a menacing quag-
mire. Without murmur OF complaint
she hung gEimly to her perilous posi-
ton. until suddenly the vine snapped,
precipitating its helpless burden into
the quicksands. A lasso flung about
the struggling girls shoulders saved
her in time from death.
At another time, Miss Hansen re-
manned within two minutes of certain
death in a water-logged submarine.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

The early part Of February IN al
ways filled with some very charming
parties and hearts are made glad
with the little love gifts and mes
sages. However, there Is very little
known Of the good old saint whose
memory Is 30 wrapped up with
Cupid's messages, heart throbs and
love verses and IL takes a good deal
Of digging back into the annals of
the past to ascertain why he was
chosen TO be the patron saint OF the
capricioug god OF Love.
History tells as that Valentine
lived IN the third century, and that
he was a bishop Of Rome. He was
prosecuted for his faith, and died a
martyr. English literature Of the
Elizabethian period contains q num-
Der Of verses written for Valentines
day, showing how In that time Feb
ruary II was regarded as a special
season of love-maling even among the
birds, as the following lines Of Dray-
toms show:
Muse, bid the morn awake,
Sad winter now declines,
Each bird does choose a mate,
: The day st. Valentines.
~FOr that good bishops sake
Get up, and let us see
What beauty It shall be
That fortune as assigns
In this world, now 30 lacking In
sentiment, It Is well that the spirit of
Valentines day, with fits renewal of
love vows among those already mar
ried, its pledges of undying affection
between betrothed lovers and the ex-
change Of love tokens among near
and dear friends, is being revived.
The children OF this generation need
all the poetry and sentiment that can
be put into their lives, 1t Is certain
that st. Valentine would feel q sense
Of gratitude to have been chosen to
preside over and guide the footsteps
Of HIS special messenger, Cupid, as
he fits hither and yon bearing the
healing balm OF love for all who are
pierced with the sharp darts from his
CULVER.

COMP ARATIVE Y
. CALM AT VERDUN
French Capture Portions of
German Trench on
Hill Slope
MAY ABANDON SIEGE
Usual Bombardments and Infantry
Attacks Reported in Austro-Italian
War Zone

Paris, May 11.-French troops re-
pulsed with bayonets and grenades
an attack delivered by the Germans
early this morning west Of the Caux
pond, northeast of Verdun.
On the west bank of the Meuse,
only artillery activity occurred dur
ing last night, the war Office report
ed, the Germans failing to return the
attack.
French artillery throughout last
night displayed unusual activity in
the Champagne region, concentrating
it's fire on German positions south
east of Tahure. About 10 yards of
German trenches were destroyed.
Four French war planes lombard
ed the railway stations at Demvillers
and Etain last night, setting fire to
q railway depot.
Though German artillery continu-
es active on the west bank. of the
Meuse, evidently in preparation for
renewed attacks, the impression is
again growing in the French capital
that the Germans are preparing to
abandon the attack on Verdun. In
this connection the statement spread
broadcast by the German semi-officiai
news agency yesterday with refer
ence to the number of troops involv-
ed was cited.
French officers ridiculed the state
ment that 100000 French troops are
engaged at Verdun. They say the Ger
man government undoubtedly caused
such a statement to be published to
prove to the German people that the
German crown prince was confronted
with tremendous obstacles at Yer
dun, thus explaining the failure OF
his attempt to take the fortress.
