 JOIN GERMANY IN CONFLICT
BLOOD LUST DRIVES MAD

NEW YORK, May 25-That the most tragic scene in the history of the world proceeding in the fighting around Verd is now made evident by the reports com ing from all sources It is impossible to publish all those accounts in detail but it is made clear that Germans and Frenchmen are launching themselves at each other in
 manner which suggests that they consider their bodies as only small item in the bloody program Verdun is now far and away the greatest of all the battles fought since the dawn of time so far as history relates Every
 man who pentrated the forts at Douaumont has been kill ed and every man who is now trying to penetrate them IS dying The soldiers are using hand searchhghts III the dark tunnels where they struggling to the death m the gloom as the demons might struggle in the internal regions iWth one hand the troops hold the searchlghS while with the other they slash with knives or throw bombs. By the explosions it is known hundreds ot Frenchmen have been buried alive These underground caverns stretch for miles and miles. To penetrate them the Germans had to pay fghtful blood sacrifice and are still paving it as they rage underneath the surface 1t IS known as positive fact that the lust Of blood has become so awful on both sides that of men have been dV en insane and madman often meets madman m the dark ness both armed with daggers or bombs The world stands aghas today may be truly said The herceneSS and the rage which enabled the Germans to force their way into the awful labyrinth has been evidently imparted to the French who dying also by thousands but dyng even while cawing at the invaders like tigers when the weapons fall from their hands The appalling nature of the buchey may be judged by the fact that the surgeons are compelled to aputate arms and legs without the aid of anesthetc the supply being inadequate to go around
 t is even reported that the wounded continuing the struggle with knives even while they lie on the ground One French captain reports that at one spot he found 8 700 dead bodies heaped in line which only 700 yards long, more than F bodies for every yard.

Fine Crowd at Game
 Sunday Afternoon
Game Itself Was Interesting Until
 the Horrible Eighth.

The Campbell ConquerOrs beat the Haasch Hasbcens yesterday by 16 to D. At least that is the way some of the Campbells put it and as no one has offered suggestion of any other kind and as the result was as it is already the names must go until the Haasches can wipe out the stain. The score was tied twice during the game but in the eighth something awful happened and Campbell's boys romped home eleven different times. Manthey and Matt Ryan distinguished them selves with home runs. The eighth inning was so long that Jack Finne- gan was put out twice. His brother Tom, by the way, nabbed him in an- other inning. The two new men did not show at their best but on the whole the game was worth looking at, especially as the day was bright and warm. The batteries for Campbell were Nickerson and Holman, and for Haasch they were Manthey and Fin negan.

SAY WAR DEPOPULATING GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
 DESPITE THE DENIALS

1 Special to Gateway by United Pressj
 AMSTERDAM, May 25.-The war is depopulating German and Austrian cities, according to travellers arriving here from the territories of the central powers. They attribute the alleged illumination in the number of residents in such centers as Berlin and Vienna partly to casualties at the front and partly to the increased death rate incidental to the hardships the civil population has suffered. Statements that the public health is better in the war stricken countries than before hostilities broke out are declared ridiculous.
 From reliable and impartial sources, it is estimated that Berlin has lost SOO,OOO inhabitants, Hamburg 33O,OOO, Breslau 100000, Dresden, Leipzig and Munich nearly 83 per cent of their populations, Vienna 100000 and Trieste, Lemberg, Prague, Buda- pest and Gratz respectively 80, 60, 50, 40 and 35 per cent.
 It is conceded that these losses will be made up in part when the troops return home at the end of the war but large part of them are believed cer- tain to be permanent.

STABBING AFFRAY
 REPORTED NAKNEK

VALDEZ. The marshaps office was in recepit of telegram Wednes- day afternoon from Deputy Marshal Fursman, at Naknek on Bristol bay, stating that in a fight between two Mexican cannery hands one of them was stabbed by the other, receiving serious wounds, but will probably re- cover.
 The assault occurred on board the cannery ship zelma on April 23, while the vessel was on the way to Nallnek. On the arrival of the vessel at that place the Mexican committing the assault was taken into custody, and on the preliminary hearing before the United States commissioner was bound over to the grand jury. The victim was placed under treatment, and although his wounds are serious, it is expected he will recover.
 It is expected that the case will come up before the floating court which will visit Naknek some time in July or August.-Ex.

 DANCER IN MEXICAN MOVES

COLUMBUS, May 25-New orders are known now to have been sent by Funston to Pershing re- gardng new positions to be taken by the troops of the American expedition in Mexico. The orders are supposed to be due to the uneasy feeling that clash with the Car ranza forces may occur any time as strong reinforce ments are constantly joining the Mexican army which IS close to the Americans It is even thought that the with drawa of the Americans has been delayed because of the idea that the strengthening of the Mexican forces might have induced the withdrawal and given it the sembance of retreat

NO LACK OF HONEST BOYS
Los Angeles Lad Held Up as a Won
der is One of Many That the
Land May Claim.

A Los Angeles (Cal) paper prints
the account of the return to the owner
of a five-dollar piece paid by accident
to a newsboy. 1t seems to regard the
incident as remarkable, and one phase
of it was, but the paper overlooked this.
There are many honest boys. The in
stincts of youth are predatory only in
a miscellaneous fashion. In a real test
the average boy would come out with
colors flying. The industrious lad
who would steal is an exception. No
normal boy accustomed to dealing in
pennies could see an accidental gold
coin in his days collection without
the immediate impulse to place 1t in
the hands of the owner.
The remarkable phase Of the incl
dent was that the owner, upon receiv-
ing his coin. rewarded the boy with so
cents. Doubtless the newsie felt more
jubilation in possession of this hon
est piece of silver than in the larger
piece that could have been retained
only by a process virtually pilfering.
Ordinarily the person who loves mon
ey and RECEIVERS 1t is remarkably
sunny III lht ludhltI Vi AtMalus N
nickel handed over in exchange for u
fat purse rescued from the street is
about the rule. Sometimes there is
no prefer, but a look of dark suspi-
cion.
II would be wise to have a statutory
regulation OF the whole matter. A re-
ward of ten per cent would not be out
OF reason. II poor person happens
upon a vagrart roll of money, 1t is but
natural that he become conscious OF
temptation. He has reason to think
the owner will pay little or nothing,
and be more apt to display toward him
a sort of resentment than gratitude.
II he knew that under the law he was
entitled to a fair commission, the
temptation would vanish, the finder be
satisfied. and the owner restrained
from assuming the too frequent role of
miser.
