WORLDS GREATEST BATTLE.

Four months have now passed since
the beginning of the battle of Verdun.
1t will be recalled that, during that
time, hardly day has passed without
clashes of contending troops at some
points along the lines, while, on most
of the days, there have been engage
ments in great force, employing al
ways artillery and more frequently
infantry than has been the rule in
this war. Perhaps it is not too much
to say that Verdun overshadows any
half dozen other battles of this war,
including even those at the Marne
and at Hanneburg, not only in the
number. but in the variety of the
forces engaged. In the beginning of
the assault the Germans hurled great
masses of infantry, including the
crack troops of their army. advancing
under cover of great artillery fire,
against the French. The French, the
strongest arm of whose military ser
vice is artillery, were able to repel
these attacks and inflict frightful
losses ON their enemy When the
Germans succeeded in CARRYING DO
sition, the French, returning to the
attack, were forced to the use of in
fantry in making it. The German
attack by infantry in mass in the be-
ginning, followed by a series of in
fantry attacks and counter attacks on
trenches and heights by both armies,
has given the infantry more to do at
Eerdun than anywhere else along the
total length of all battle lines.
AS a result, the casualties at ver-
dun, in battle continuing over a per
iod of weeks, have far exceeded those
of any other field Figures now offer
ed can, in the nature of the case, be
little more than estimates. Judged by
the duration, extent and violence of
the fighting, there is danger of the re-
suits being underestimated. Verdun
is certain to hold rank as the greatest
battlefield in the history of the world,
in the history of all wars. 1t cannot
be called a seige, since, while there
are French forts at Verdun, the Ger

A iurv in Portland reeently found

A jury in Portland recently found
a mother guilty of contributing to the
delinquency of her l5-year-old daugh-
ter, in that she permitted her to fire.
Quent public dance halls at night aud
associate with men of doubtful char
acter. 1t is said to be the first case
ever tried in Oregon where an at
tempt was made to fix the responsible
ity on a parent for child's downfall.
That the decision is an important one
is obvious, inasmuch as it will affect
the status of all parents with regard
to their responsibility before the law
for their children's actions. 1t is be-
lieved that the result or this case will
be far-reaching in that it will lessen
the percentage of cases customarily
ending in the juvenile court as the re-
suit of the delinquency of parents.

The third annual Farmers Union
Picnic will be held in Heppner this
year, the 18th of this month of June,
being on Saturday. Although the de-
tails of the program for that day are
being looked after by members of the

the people of Heppner to act as host

which will be hard to approach; but

Farmers Union Picnic the best yet.

ing farmers royal good time when
