RAGING
Germans Hurl Thousands d
Men Il French Positions,
andShife Is Called Fiercest
IN History Of World

Paris. May 24.--From Dead MANS
hill eastward 70 the ruins Of ToEt
Douaumont the most savage bs&&ls
in the worlds history Is raging today.
Eighty thousand Germans were
sent crashing into the French posi-
tions on Dead Mans hill, while two
Teuton brigades rushed repeatedly
during the night at the soldiers Of tho
republic holding Douaumont. Every
assault was failure.
Fighting in the Douaumont ruins
attained its greatest Intensity at noon
yesterday. Germans covered all
French trenches from Thiaumont to
Douaumont with q steady artillery
|fire. Behind great columns Of dust
the gray German lines swept toward
the French works. French machine
guns sprayed the charging ranks, but
|still the waves Of spiked helmets
came on and swarmed over the west
lern and northwestern edges Of Douau-
mont.
Here bloody struggle began. Man
fought against man. clinging 60 steep
parapets. climbing through narrow
alleys and slashing through dense en-
tanglements of barbed wire. Bayonets
and hand grenades became useless,
so closely were the fighting troopers
wedged together. Showed forward
by the press OF comrades at their
backs. the Germans battled with fists
and stabbed with knives.
When one such assault was defeat
ed by the French and its survivors
elected from the works, another was
started Throughout the day the
Germans attacked repeatedly. There
was no change when night came. In
spite OF this terrific hammering,
French troops retained all positions
taken on Monday. The loss at this
point in the first two days OF the des-
perate fighting is estimated at 10000
killed.
The Germans since Sunday, recited
the communique. have been attack
ling the northwestern front of Yer
dun with sixty thousand men.
Throughout last night the battle was
waged furiously. Both banks Of the
Meuse we're assaulted, but French
troops stubbornly resisted. infiicting
heavy losses on the enemy.
Hand-to-hand fighting preceded
German capture Of Cumieres village.
IOn the Meuse east bank Germans,
after extensive artillery preparations.
launched repeated charges against
the Haudremont-D -Douaumont front,
losing fearfully.
German fire blotted out French
trenches. but the defenders stuck to
the debris and battled the advancing
Teutons with bayonet. dubbed rife
and knife.
East OF Fort Douaumont, despite a
deadly fire from machine guns, few
German detachments streamed
Through the French bullets and reach
ed their objective positions. West Of
the fort all charges were halted, The
Germans used gas west OF the Ma
Ivarin farm. but failed to progress.

greater changes with longer inter-
walls of time, depending upon the we'll
known rotation of the sun upon its
axis and the periodic recurrence of
the sunspot maxima and minima.
These and certain well known phe
nomena are represented to be the ba-
sis of the so-called discovery.
During the past several years the
form of letters, circulars, diagrams,
and blue prints, full specifications
concerning all essential details of this
alleged new system Of forecasting.
The so-called discovery is fully known
to the weather bureau and has receiv-
ed fair and impartial study and ex-
animation by its scientific staff More
over, other scientists of international
reputation now connected with the
strongest institutions in the world en-
gagged in astronomical research and
conducting Investigations in solar and
terrestrial physics have also passed
upon these new theories. These au-
thorities are in accord that the de-
auctions and conclusions drawn from
the solar conditions on which the new
system is based are unwarranted.
Solar phenomena of the kind describ-
ed do not have any direct influence
upon the weather at any particular
time and place, and therefore cannot
be made Che basis of weather fore
casting.
Spacious references to the moon, to
the planets, and to the spottedness OF
the sun and it's shafts of radiation
alleged to dominate terrestrial weather
are but picturesque frameworks upon
which to display weather forecasts for

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
divorced from my husband eight years
and | got married again | thought
loved the second one, but I found out
in a short time that l didn't. My first
husband married woman a good
many years older than himself. l
went to see him a year ago and asked
him if he cared for the woman he mar
ried and he said he cared only for the
mother of his child He said that |
should not worry because things would
be all right some day. Our daughter
is now a young lady and her father is
still living with his second wife. he
asked me to divorce my second hus-
band and said he would do the same.
| did so, but he has failed to. | love
him better than anyone in the world
and my life has been a wreck ever
since we parted. l thought il l mar
ried the second time I would forget
him. But every night dreamed about
him and in the day would think and
grieve about the dream. | have tried
everything to keep from thinking Of
him, but nothing has helped me. Can
you tell me of any way to win his
love back again?
WORRIED MOTHER.
You no longer have right to your
first husbands love- You gave that
up, when you left him. When we
wreck our lives with the mistakes we
make, the very best thing we can do
is face things bravely and make the
best of life as it is. Your first husband
belongs to another woman now and so
+. you can gain nothing by loving him
and thinking about him. Give up the
past entirely and live in the present.
If you do not, the good things in life
which are in store for you will slip
| by without your noticing them and
you will only half live. Whether your
| life is to be thing of happiness or
misery is up to you, little woman.
Dear Mrs Thompson: % I have
been keeping company with a young
man for two years and he seems to
like me quite well. At least he pre-
tends that he does not care for other
girls. But he never brings me sweets
! or flowers and does not spend much
money on me. He takes me to the
movies, but l think him stingy sort

IN WARNING AGAINST
FALSE FORECASTING

United States Department Of Agri
culture, Weather Bureau, Washing
ton, d. c., March 24-Editor The
Argus: Throughout it's history the
weather bureau has been called upon
from time to time to caution the gen.
eral public against the too credulOus
belief in alleged new systems for
forecasting the weather for weeks or
months in advance, or in schemes for
the artificial production of rain, the
prevention of hail, and other pro-
posals to control or modify atmOs-
pheriC phenomena or to forecast them
at long time in advance. Pretensions
of this character meet with a certain
credence because there are a number
of people who still cling to the an
cient belief in the influence of the
moon on the growth and development
Of crops, and to the idea that the
etary and astrological combinations.
AS a rule The general public is only
partly familiar with modern scien-
tific facts and seems ever ready to
accept confidently at face value al
most any announcement Of alleged
new discoveries, especially when their
exploitation is clothed in skillful al
lusions to items of the latest scien-
tific information and is accompanied
by clever representations of the ben
efits that are to result
The latest Misrepresentation of
this character now being presented
to the people Of the country in the
columns of the daily press is an al
legged new system of l0ng-range
weather forecasting said to be based
on the riffs and spottedness Of the
sun and its shaft of solar radiation.
When the disk of the sun is minute
ly examined with powerful telescopes
or when photographed with the aid
Of the modern spectroheliograph the
surface presents characteristic
