HEAVY LOSSES
BY THE GERMANS
At FORT vAUX
NUMEER OF KILLED AND WOUND
ED SAID TO BE THE HEAVIEST
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
GREAT CONFLICT.

PARIS, March 13.-The German
losses around Fort Vaux last Friday
and Saturday surpass all previous
records in this war, according to Off
GERS who have returned from Yer
dun. Time and again and with ex-
traordinary courage the Germans in
columns four deep rushed from their
trenches only to melt away under the
fire Of the French guns, which rained
shells with deadly accuracy into the
marching companies. When the smoke
Icleared nothing was to be seen but
heaps of bodies.
The spur on which the fort is sit
uated is almost perpendicular in
places. The German lines were
forced to halt, but many Bavarian re-
servists climbed up on one another's
shoulders and struggled up the slope,
clinging to angles Of rocks and grasp
ing tufts of grass. Again and again
these human pyramids collapsed into
shapeless gray masses. In places
where the incline was easier and the
attacks, therefore, more concentrated,
the bitches below ran red with blood,
AT tie lowest estimate the attackers
lost two-hirds Of heir effectives.
The fighting also was desperate in
the extreme when regiments from the
Fifteenth and Eighteenth German
army corps attacked the village OF
VauX on Friday. Dawn was just
breaking and over the country hung a
heavy white mist, making everything
invisible beyond hundred yards.

within rushing distance Of the French

numbered the defenders six to one, II
took four distinct assaults before the

STOOD TOO NEAR FIRE AT

Little Myrtle Eunice Ogden, two
years of age, died Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock at the residence of her aunt,
Mrs. Joseph Evans, Ala Albany street
as the result of burns she received at
her home on Blythe island Saturday
night.
1t seems that the little girl and her
grandmother were in the room togeth-
er shortly after supper. When the
grandmother stepped out Of the room
for a few minutes the little girl stood
too close to the fire In some way her
clothing ignited and before assistance
arrived she was terribly burned. Her
grandmother rushed in as soon as pos
sible and endeayored to extinguish the
fire, but she did not succeed until the
little girl had been fatally burned.
AS soon as possible a boat was Sc
cured and the child was brought here
for treatment, but 1t was at once dis
covered that her burns were fatal aud
no hope was held for her recovery.
The funeral occurred yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, the interment
being In Palmetto cemetery. The
mother of the little girl died in this
city only few weeks ago.

CLERKS WANT
EARLY CLOSING
THIS SUMMER
MERCHANTS ARE ASKED TO
CLOSE AT 6 O'CLOCK DU-
RING THE WEEK AND AT 10
ON SATURDAY NIGHTS.

\ movement has been started by the
retail clerks of the city, who are re-
ceiving the assistance of other local or
ganizations. for shorter hours during
the summer months, not only during
the weekdays. but also on Saturdays,
and it is understood that the matter
will be taken up and discussed at "a
meeting of the Retail Merchants and
Business Mems association to be held
tomorrow afternoon.
AS is well known, local merchants
during the summer months close their
places of business at 6:30 o'clock,
while on Saturday nights there is no
clerks are asking this year is that the
merchants close just half an hour ear
lier, 6 o'clock, instead of $50 and on
Saturday night they are asking that all
stores close at 10 o'clock They point
out that by this hour the shopping is
practically over.
AS to the closing during the week
at 6 o'clock the clerks claim that this
is the hour of closing in practically
all other cities; they further claim
that they believe the shopping people
of the city will endorse the plan and
will cooperate with the merchants in
educating the people to do their shop
ping half an hour earlier. 1t is point.
ed out that if ii is known by the shop.
pers that all of the stores are TO close
promptly at 6 o'clock that they will
consequently do their shopping earlier
in the afternoon.
Such a move has been started in
Brunswick in the past, and while some
of the merchants have favored it, still
they have not been unanimous in max
ing the change, and consequently the
new hours have never been iaugurat-
ed. The clerks. however, are hoping
that their requests will be granted
this summer and they will be permit
ted to leave their work a half hour ear
lier in the afternoon.
