Stories of the War
Growing One Soldiers Leg Onto
 Another,

One of the most remarkable surgical operations on record is now being per formed at the Grand PaIais, the mas sive building usually used for the an nuaI Saloon but now transformed into 8 vast hospital. Here two soldiers lie side by side, bound together like Siam csc twins, while Q large portion of the leg of one of them is being slowly transferred into the leg of the other enc. Noted surgeons are gathered about, watching the slow development which they regard as marvellous both from the surgical standpoint as well as from the sentimental, in which one soldier is calmly giving day by day part of his body to a fellow soldier.
 The two men lie on their backs on a large operating table in one of the halls of the hospital. They lie in op- posite directions, the head of one near the feet of the other, like the figures on playing cards. They are among the most seriously wounded of the younger class of soldiers. one 26 and other 23 years old. The younger, Rous-

You seem nervous" commented the man from Woodlawn, as his friend boarded the train at Hyde Park.
 ''Nervous!" echoed the man from Hyde Park The startled deer has nothing on men. Let me tell you! l am hunted man! Something told me it was a fatal mistake when I consented to move into that apart ment with the large sun parlOr last month-but Imogene got around me. Do you know what that woman has up he rslevee now to make me mis- erabie? She's got jungle fever, l tell her, but she pays mot the slightest at tentiOn to mel I thought that when she attained, that sun, parIor she would be content to work off her emotions; with a few harmless palms and ferns and some sensible geraniums, but she says her sun parlor is going to be different from the ordinary stereo- typed one. She is going to have a menagerie!
 "What!" calculated the Woodlawn man, laying aside his newspaper with Q jerk.
 Yes, my poorsfriend," said the gen tleman from Hyde Park in a chOked voice. Thank you for your unex- pressed sympathy; Chattering siml- ans are going to leap gayly from bough to bough of our rubber plant and the wild swan will make her nest upon the W1uQOW SllIt AL least, II you ever were so unfortunate as to be obliged to hear Imogene talk. that's what you'd think!
 I found her sitting in the exact middle of the sun parlor with the rapt, abstracted look in her eyes which l have learned to fear

Now, Herny, you see there will be plenty of room over there for a cage to keep a pair of maTmOset monkeys in-nOt that I'd shut the poor things up much I'd try to give them natural liberty to make them happy!"
 Right there I shouted for my life! InOgene," l asked hOarsely, am l Ot understand that a pair of monkeys are to have the right of way in this flat, with no ball and chain tied to their ankles?

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Disgruntled progressives still hold
 out hope in this state they can aid in
 holding a second national convention
 to nominate a candidate for president
 Whether or net they can remains to
 be seen. Dissatisfied prOgresSives, by
 the way, can find soIace in doing the
 same as disgruntled democrats and
 republicans used to do in years back,
 and that was to vote the prohibition
 ticket to get even with what was orig
 inally their party organization.-NIid
 dletOWn Press.
 That war or near-war is costly, even
 when hardly @ shot is fired, is proven
 by the fact that the United States
 military movement against Mexico has
 already cost the neat little sum of
 $125, ,000,0 ,000, with the expenses steadily
 mounting every day. This fact alone
 shows that the real crisis in the inter
 national situation is far from being
 over, for the more protection of the
 American border at the cost which is now entailed is not a condition that a nation even with the wealth of the United States is going to put up with efnitely.-AnsOnia Sentinel.
 With the right men and the right policies the forces of this country can go to the most distant parts of the earth and prove to the natives there that their friend is the United States and, furthermore, while equally treat ed, that the United States can and will do much to help them to live more peaceabIy and more happily. Un- skilled men can't do this work To get the right men is the problem of the 1 hour, the motive of all preparedness movements.

 According to the reports gathered by 1 Tuskegee institute, there have been 25 lynchings in the United States dur | ing the first six months of 1916, or at the rate of nearly one a week. Geor- l gia, as usual, has the black honor of heading the list of individual states, thus maintaining with perfect con sistency it's supremacy in lynching, child labor and illiteracy. Suppose l that Mexico instead of being a weak and comparatively tiny nation, were large and powerful. Wonder if the 1 Mexican jingoes would now be talking about the necessity of taking posses sion of the United States to restore order" which we cannot maintain, as shown by our record of lynchings - l Bridgeport Telegram.

GERMANS PLAN FOR
NEW VERDUN DRIVE
SMASHED BY FRENCH
TedtonS Prepare for Attack on
important Strategic Point
West of MeuSe, but French
Prevent Its Execution


WASHINGTON. April 13.-The attack
on Verdun has subsidized for the moment,
after several days of severe fighting.
There were no engagements of impor-
lance in that region last night, the off,
cial French statement of this afternoon
says. Preparations were made by the
Germans for an attack on iiill No. 3O4,
an important strategic point commanding
large section of the territory west of
the Mouse, but the Paris communica-
ton says the French prevented execu-
ton.
The principal German effort since the
general Verdun offensive was begun Sun
day has been the attempt to force a
Passage between Dead Mans hill and
Cumieres, for the purpose of enveloping
the hill. Some French trenches were
carried but the main positions were held,
and Paris regards the operations of tn,
week as having resulted decidedly n
their advantage. Following the evacua-
ton of the Bethincourt salient the Ger
mans were compelled to make frontal
attacks except at Dead Mans hill where
they attempted to advance through the
lavines.
Elsewhere on the western front and
on the Russian and italian battle lines.
no operations of importance are record
ed. The Russian attacks have not seri-
ously shaken the Germans lines and al
though spirited fighting is still in prog
ress, the offensive movement apparently
is subsIdpg.
The Russian sailing vessel Imperator,
on voyage from Gulport, Miss, for
Marseilles, has been torpedoed in the
Mediterranean. Nine of the crew, some
OF the wounded, have been landed at
Barcelona.
