NEW YORK, Nov: 24. = The World has received the following war statement from ArnO DOsch- Fleurot who is now at Verdun, France:
 "The Germans can never come back at verdun. They have been vanquished by the new heavy ar tillery of the French and the fine supporting picked army of verdun, and are steadily slipping off the hills to the WCevre Plain.
 T have just been over most of the ground lost by them in the past ten days. visited the region of the outer forts Douaumont, Thiau- mont and Vaux, as one of four lucky American cOrresron1ents giv- en the extradordinary privileges by the French Government. We went at night, as by day it was impossi- ble.
 We were under steady shell fire for twelve hours, and can stop just long enough, before relating the greatest adventure of an~ of our lives, to s"7 that neither the Germans nor any other army can advance again toward Verdun over the wrecked country
 We passed along the front line of the French army facing north from Thiamont and DOuaumont, seeing the steadily advancing line of French rapid-fre guns, backed by concentrated artillery fire, loos- sning the Crown Princes hold on the foothills to the north. The temper of the French army at Yer lun makes it evident that they never will be content until the Ger mans are pushed out on the water plain of the Woevre.'

METAL ASH BARREL IS BEST

Hot ashes in wooden barrel are al

sooner or later. The use of an empty

til the weekly visit of the ashman
may seem an economy. but In the long
run 1t is costly mistake. In many
places the fire regulations prohibit this
sort OF thing. but there are still in
stances where city and town authori.
ties permit 1t.
1t is also unwise to use a wooden
barrel for ordinary rubbish, for spark

Funny Man Of japan.

such series as tho 'Katzen1ammer Kids

is only slight evidence of that ele-
ment which to the American mind
makes large proportion of European
work risque and vulgar. The humor
is childlike, possibly even more so
than our own. but 1t has the browning
virtue IF having cleanliness without
being sterile or insipid.

contrary, they have remained thor.

Another point of Importance in

OF dough made from these highly

such, but the experiments conducted
BY the authors prove that in baking
