BUZzARDS AND OTHER
CARTON BIRDS FEED ON DEAD
CROWS WOODS APT NAME FOR
SECTION BEFORE WHICH 2OO,-
600 SLAIN COVER GROUND.

They call the place lie Bots des
Corbeaux. which in English is Crows
Woods, the place where the terrific
slaughter has been going on about
Verdun these past four weeks.
For four weeks now the fight
has been raging. If there has been
a sacrifice of human life that equals
it let history bring it forward. Crows
Woods are we'll named. Not only
crows but buzzards and all other
carrion birds would hover over that
place and gorge themselves did the
firing cease long enough, for the dead
are piled up in dense masses and over
their bodies, such is German discip-
line, officers have been leading their
regiments in columns of four as reg
ularly as if on the parade ground at
home.
London dispatches say that when
the attack on Verdun was planned
the crown prince and his generals
were prepared to lose 100000 men.
It is calculated on the allied side that
this loss has been reached nearly in
the attack after attack which has
been hurled at the French fortress.
On the other hand, Germany an
nounces 43O officers and 26,042 men
of the French taken prisoners. The
twentieth month of the war has seen
the bloodiest fighting Of it all. The
French themselves are the first to say
the Germans have fought brayely.
When the story of the action be-
fore Verdun is told it will reveal
heroism beyond parallel. Time after
time German columns have debouch-
ed from their trenches and rushed to
the attack four deep, only to be NOW
ed down. When the smoke OF the
French shells had cleared away MOTH
ing could be seen but the piled up
bodies of the dead.

New Invention Reported.
Gone are Cor very soon will be-
the days when Friend Husband may
reply blithely: "Oh, about twelve
O'Clock" to his sound-sleeping wife s
morning query: What time did
you get home last night, Ebenezer?"
Likewise vanished (of vanishing)

yodelling three, and then cuckooed
eight more times himself and made
his helpmeet believe it was only II.
New Time Lock.
A St. Paul, Mimi, genius has push
ed all that old stuff into the discard.
He has perfected an invention which
will make it absolutely necessary for
the head of the house to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the absolute variety as to what
time he opened the door and entered
(although the invention, fortunately,
doesn't report upon his condition).
This new continuance is described
as lock through which runs a mar
row strip of tape, kept moving by
ciockwork. There is also set of
type figures recording the hours and
minutes, operated by the same chro-
nometer system. When the key is
turned in the lock-snap! Down go
the types upon the tape and the fatal
hour is indellibly registered.
Morning Inspection.
Madame, in the morning, may slip
out to the door flor, of course, she
hasn't told Ebenezer of the patent
lock-, give a flash at the tape and
then gently inquire what time he
gained the dOmicile.
'Eleven-forty, says he casually.

exclaims, and he, poor blunderer,
knows in his heart that she's got him
right, and wonders how in the name
of witchcraft she found out, for she
certainly was sound asleep when he
stocking-footed his way into the
room.
According to reports from st. Paul
there's already big demand for the
recording lock. It's inventor may
make a big fortune out of it. But IFS
sure thing that he'll be forever
hated by all fellowmen of owing pro

ADMIRAL cARDALE TO
RETIRE FROM SERVICE
IN GREECE
(By Associated Press.)

Athens, Greece, June Sit is an
nounced that Rear Admiral Hubert
S. Cardale, the acting head of the
British Naval Mission in Greece and
at present the ranking officer of the
Royal Hellenic navy on active serv-
ice, will soon relinquish his post and
leave Greece. He has been one of
the most prominent figures in Athens
during the war, for in his dual ca
pacity as Britisher and an admiral
of the Greek navy, he has been fac
tor in quieting many of the internal
dissensions in this country, which,
ever since the war started, has been
the scene Of continual pulling and
hauling of warning interests.
One day Admiral Cardale has been
called upon to pronounce for the
Kings party" and again, on the
next day, to speak for the Venizel-
lists. the adherents of the popular
statesman who desired to see Greece
take arms against the central pow
ers. The admiral appears to have
been a favorite Of both King Con-
stantine and Venizelos. His relations
with the royal family are of long
standing, beginning with his service
under the personal command of the
then Crown Prince Constantine in
the first Balkin war. Recently the
King acted as godfather to the Ad-
miral's son, naming the infant Con.
stantine.
On the outbreak of the European
war In 1914 Admiral Cardale, secur-
ing leave from the Greek govern
ment, took the squad of British naval
gunners in Serbia in hand, organized
the British, French and Russian
heavy artillery defenses of Belgrade,
successfully mined the Danube and
the Sava, sunk a few Austrian mont
tors, wore the uniform of a Serbian
colonel Of engineers for six months,
received the order and star of the
white eagle of Serbia from the hands
OF King Peter himself, and the Kara
george medal for personal bravery.

ESCAPE OF RUSSIAN
PRISONERS INCREASED
RECENTLY
(By Associated Press

The Hague, Netherlands, June 8.
There has been a striking increase
in the number of escaped Russian
prisoners Of war to reach Dutch ter
ritory in the last few weeks, arriv-
ais being reported almost daily. The
fugitives seldom come alone, usually
arriving in parties varying from two
or three to dozen. The increase is
apparently due to the greater facili-
ties offered for escape by tn Grrman
policy Of utilizing the labor OF so
many thousands of such men in Bel
GUM and elsewhere. The number Of
escapes into Holland in the last few
months may be put at several hun
dreds, many Of the men hailing from

CONGRESSMAN DRANE

CONGRESSMAN DRANE
From the Evening kilograms
viewpoint there are many bright
spots in the results of Tuesdays pri-
mary; but it has special satisfaction
in the nomination for Congressman
from this district of H. ]. Drane.
This satisfaction is not, as many
times is the cast in political victories,
based on antagonism to the defeated
candidate. On the contrary, We have
always had profound respect for Mr..
Sparkman, and have regarded him as
an able and useful man.. We have
never printed one line in connection
with this campaig that could be con-
strued as discourteous to Mr.. Spark
man, or rejecting in any way upon
his work or character. We believe
that he has done a splendid work in
Congress, and that he has reflected
credit upon this district and upon
this State.
But Mr. Sparkman has served in
Congress over score of years; he
is getting to the time of life when
rest from the arduous duties of long
public service, it would seem, would
be gratefully welcomed; he has en-
joyed all the emoluments and glory
in connection with the position a
man could expect; and he may well
be satisfied to rest upon his laurels,
and let other hands take up the work
which he lies down with honor This
is only the natural way of life; it is
also in accordance with the princi-
pies and customs of Democracy
In Mr.. Drane the First district
will have representative worthy to
succeed Mr. Sparkman, and able to
fill his place in Congress To state
this is in itself to give high praise
Mr.. Drane measures up to Congress
sional size and requirements He Is
a scholarly man, but practical one
also He has made a reasonable sue
cess in business life, but he is close
enough to the masses to be in sym
patty with their needs and to cause
him to direct his efforts in behalf Cd
their interests. He is old enough for
ripe experience, yet not SO old as to
affect his energies, or prevent him
from giving the maximum of sery-
ice-. He is we'll balanced man; one
who will strive to give equal and i'm
partial justice to all classes and con-
ditions OF men, alike unapproachable
by corrupting Influences, and free
from the rabid radicansm that de-
stroys the public usefulness of Sc
many men,.
AS stated the Evening Telegram is
profoundly grateful because OF MI
Drane's success. primarily because we
know that good and able man has
been called to serve the people, but
also because of personal relations
extending over many years Probably
the FIRST time Mr.. Drane's candidacy
for Congress was ever mentioned was
in a conversation with the editor OF
this paper His first announcement
was made in these columns; and we
have esteemed it privilege and
pleasure to give him such support as
we could. We believe Mr.. Drane has
q brilliant career in Congress ahead
of him. We know that the interests
of the people of the First district are
in the hands of an honest and com
petent man..
