be tried. .H

persons were killed in the revolution,
sixty-six of whom were soldiers.
The Zeppelin LEO, one of those
which raided the British and Scottish
coasts Tuesday night, has been wreck
ed off Norway and her crew interned.
The raid caused thirty-eight casual
ties.
Reports have reached Amsterdam
that the civilian population of Metz is
evacuating the German fortress city.
The French, following their capture
of German positions northwest of
Dead Mans Hill, in the Verdun region,
continued their advance during the
night, besides consolidating the posi-
tons already taken, according to this

Universal CONSUMPTION has been de-
cided upon by the British government
1t was announced that the total OF
British land and sea forces in service
since the war started is over 5,OOO,oOO.
With the exception Of a few isolat'

captured parts of Dublin last week,
have been captured or hove hidden
their arms and resumed civilian cloth
ing. Troops are hunting down few
snipers who continue to fight. Hun
dreds of the captured insurgents are
being taken to England for trial.
BY persistent hammering at the Ger.
man lines on the north slope of Dead
Mans Hill, in the Verdun region, on
April 80 and 80, the French obtained
possession of German trenches along
a front of about three-ffths Of mile
and a depth of from 800 to 600 yards,
Paris announces. Southeast Of Fort
Douaumont, a first-line German trench,
more than 500 yards in length, was
captured by the French.

The WAR
SATURDAY.

General Towshend, commanding the
British force beleaguered by Turks at
kut-el-Amara, on the Tigris, in Meso'
potamia, since December, has surren.
lered. A British army for months has
been fighting its way up the Tigris to
the relief Of General Townshends
force, but although it has won sue
cesses and worked within to twenty
twenty miles of the distressed garri'
son the coordination Of stubborn Turk
ish resistance and food conditions has
prevented its further advance.
News from the disturbed sections OF
Ireland is still much belated. A Lon.
don newspaper reports that the riot
ers in Dublin have been driven out OF
their entrenchel position in st. Ste
phen's Green by bomb attack, sus.
tanning heavy losses" That they are
still in control Of various parts of the
city, however, seems evident, and
many casualties in street fighting are
reported. Another press despatch
says fires are raging in the city.

No Fear of Mi litarism

Note the results of our new re-
cruiting. The first month netted
fewer than 1900 soldiers. If we
had been recruiting steadily at this
rate since Andrew Jackson was
elected to the Presidency, we should
now have an army equal in number
to the present British volunteer
army, provided none of our re-
cruits had died meanwhile. AS
the oldest of them would now be
about 1902 years old, that condi-
ton is evidently inadmissible.
Does this look as if the average
American was aching to seize q
rifle and lord it over his fellows?
We compare the British armv be.
cause it is recruited most like ours.
Of course, We do not need an army
of millions in time of peace, but
comparison with any other army
on earth, in any phase and fran
any standpoint, makes our mill
tary equipment look like a high
light in farce comedy.-Boston

Obeclent Man,

The other morning one Of the regu.
lar patrons boarded the car at the
usual place, but instead Of taking a
seat he started to walk back and forth
in the car. There were plenty of seats
and the action Of the regular patron
attracted the attention of one Of his
business associates.
What's the matter, Dan? Why
don't you take a seat?" he was asked.
Serving two masters!" came back
the reply. "You see, when l started
out this morning my mother-in-law re-
minded me that it was such a fine
morning that I should walk to the Of
fee. WHEY, more considerate of my
well-being, told me to ride. / am try.
ing to obey them both so that when
I get home this evening from the of.
fee I can truthfully say that l won't
have to lie to either Of them" And
the regular patron kept on walking
back and forth.-Columbus Dispatch.

EIoWera Of the Sea.

Like the land, the sea has Its flow
ers, but the most brilliant of the ma
rine flowers bloom not upon plants but
upon animals. The living corals of
tropical seas present display of floral
beauty that in richness and Vividness
Of color and variety and grace Of form
rivals the splendor of garden of
flowers. The resemblance to blossoms
is 80 complete that some persons find
It difficult to believe that the brilliant
display contains no element of plant
life, but Is wholly animal In its or
ganization.
Among the sea animals that bloom
as If they were plants are included,
besides corals, the sea anemone and
the sea cucumber. 1t has been re-
marked that the birds and butterflies
of the upper world are replaced by
fishes of curious forms and flashing
colors which dart about among the
animal flowers.
