sition as at the beginning of the at
tack.
The German losses are again sad
to have been on the basis OF % pei
cent of the effectives engaged, and
these include considerable proportion
cf the German reserves.
The failure of the latest great ham
mer-stroke of the Germans at Verdun
Las greatly encouraged the French
press and public and confirms still
further the general confidence felt in
the ability of the high command.
The attack is stated to have been
cne of the most determined of the
great blows delivered since the bat
tie began fifty days ago, and yet
il yielded the least results of any Of
them, although the Crown Prince
hurled two whole army corps against
the French along ten-mile front.
As Bethincourt formed a dangerous
salient, its evacuation has been eX-
pected for some time and many mill
tary observers long ago criticised its
retention.
General Petain's unerring judg-
rent in letting it go at exactly the
ight moment is now highly praised.
While of little value to the French.
it is of almost none to the Germans,
as it is located in a hollow COM
rlanded by French guns on all sides
cut of which it is practically impos-
sible for them to debouch.

Fraudulent voting is temporarily
triumphant in Imperial, and as re-
suit that town went wet yesterday by
a majority of IA.
Many of those fraudulently regis
tered failed to vote, but enough Of
them voted to throw the balance
against decency.
Ninety per cent of the bona fide
citizens of the city voted against Ii
cense, but the lawless crowd Of booze
dispensers, floaters and lewd women
gained a temporary victory.
Numerous subpoenas were served
on alleged fraudulent voters to ap-
rear before the grand jury tomorrow.
and it is believed the jury will go the
limit in protecting the county against
fraudulent elections.
1t is announced that the election
will be contested in the courts, and
the "drys" are convinced that they
will be able either to throw out
enough fraudulent votes to change
the result, or to secure the complete
annulment of the election.

Paris, April 11.-Later details OF
the great battle yesterday are highly
interesting. Abandoning the new
open formation and the lately estab-
llshed practice of night attack, the
Germans yesterday engaged two army
corps in dense masses against the
French positions northwest of Verdun
between Avocourt and Cumieres.
One-half the attacking force, fully
one corps, was sacrificed in the as
sault.
Forces numbering at least a divis-
ion and half charged the line be-
tween Avocourt and Bethincourt.
They approached within a hundred
yards of the French trenches and
seemed insensible to the fact that
hundreds of their men were falling
by the way, but, Notwithstanding
their courage and the weight of their
masses, they were stopped.
There was dead-line beyond
which they could not pass. When
the attacking columns were thinned
out by artillery and machine gun fire
so that reformation became neces-
sary, the order to retire was given.
Twice they were obliged to fill up
the gaps in their ranks, but none OF
ineir three onslaughts shook the
Trench line, which had been consd-
erably strengthened in the region of
Bethincourt by the withdrawal of
forces from the dangerously exposed
salient to commanding positions be-
hind the village.
Two fresh divisions attacked Dead
Mans hill while the assault was in
progress on the Bethincourt line,
other forces at the same time trying
to slip through the ravine neat
Cumieres.
To aid the maneuver an attack was
simultaneously made on the east
bank of the Meuse, in the region Of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The few hundred men who had
succeeded in penetrating the ravine
were left on the field after the action
proved unsuccessful.
A third attack at the same time
vas delivered on position strongly
organized by the French northeast of
Avocourt, the object seemingly being
to drive in the French line far enough
to turn hill No. 304, which lies 800
yards south and constitutes what Is
characterized as the Gibraltar in the
French line in this district.
This attack met with more sue
cess than the others, but after th(
Germans had succeeded in getting /;
footing at some points in the frs
trenches the French counter -attacke,
and the net result for the Germans
was an increase in their losses from
the French bayonets.
1t was stated at the close of the da.

HE SAVED THE DAY.

The following interesting story
comes to the Press, with Con-
gressman Kettner vouching for
its accuracy:
Friday evening, March 81, at
the corner of Ninth and E streets,
n. w., Washington, ID. c., woman
suffrage speakers at their regu-
lar semi-weekly open air meeting
were addressing particularly
hostile and antagOnistic audience.
1t is the custom at all such meet
ings for the suffrage speakers,
after the main speeches have
been made, to declare the meet
ing open and to attempt to answer
the variety of inquiries prOpOund-
ed. One man, in particular, be-
came most abusive and aggres-
sive, and just as the lady speak
er seemed ready to quit under the
force of his attack, just when
there appeared to be no ''friend
in need,' out of the mob stepped
a short, thickset man, his broad
sombrero partially covering his
rugged features. Politely remOv-
ing his hat out of Difference to
the ladies', he shouted in deep
tones which could be heard blocks
away:
Let me answer that gentleman,
ladyv'
An expression of grateful relief
passed over the lady's face, as she
waved her assent. Then followed
the most fOrceful, concise and con-
vincing speech of the whole even
ing. AS the speaker began. he
was met with jeers and street
witticisms, but these were soon to
change to cheers as he warmed to
his subject The crowd became
wildly enthusiastic and just as the
speaker finished his word picture
of how successful woman suffrage
has been in ''CalifOrny," he gath
cred up an armful of the suffrage
magazine, The Suffragist, and sold
every one of them to a sympa-
thetic audience that had but
few moments before been an an
tagonistic mob.
The speaker was Mark Rose of
Ell CentrO.
MIR. Rose was Immediately be-
sieged with requests from the
suffrage workers to appear at

take place in Washington this
week, but he declined, saying:

I'm Defense of DIR. j. L. Kelley,
Candidate for State Super
intendent OF Education
i'm Florida.

IN view of what The Jeffersonian PUBLISH
some weeks ago. the friends of Dr. Kelley
ask me to let his side of the controversy with
Mr. Sheats go to the people.
That's fair; and such request cannot be
refused
My friend, Hon George g. Matthews, of
Fort Lauderdale, writes that he served In the
Legislature of 1898 with DR.. Kelley, and con-
siders him one of the grand old men of the
State, sound on the sectarian question, and
sound on the Book trust question.
He says further, that the patriotic orders
in Florida are all for Dr. Kelley, and that
the Roman Catholics are all against him.
The Book-trust letter, written by McRee,
of Atlanta, which seemed to be intended to
aid Mr.. Sheets, was published In the Orlando
Rep0rter-Star Gas I remember), and the Re-
p0rter-Star has attacked DR.. Kelley vigorous
ly on the school-book question.
DR.. Kelley alleges that the Rep0rter-Star
is owned by two Catholics, who employ their
sisters husband to edit the little paper.
The sister is, of course a Catholic, and her
husband is near Catholic, named Joseph
Reese.
/ remember that Joseph used to be an
ardent Watson man, before I opened the bat
teries on the Papa at Rome.
Then Joseph soured on t. E. W., which is
now explained.
Joseph's bread and butter appears to have
a decided flavor of Romanism on it.
But. as I said before, it's Florida's business
to settle this matter between Mr.. Sheats and
DR.. Kelley.
