Hans Anderson was thrown
from a wagon and dragged for
almost a city block along the
pavement. When Hans was picked
up, it was found that his neck had
been broken, and for a long time
his life was despaired of. Finally
when the veftebrae of the neck
knitted together, it left his head in
a STOPPING position and the neck
perfectly rigid-and for 40 years
it has remained this way, but he
has come through with CHEEKY
disposition and an earnest desire
to do something worth while.
In 1886 Hans Anderson began
to make toys in his room in the
county hospital, and after many
failures he finally made them So
well that he has continued ever
since.
Think of a man well advanced
in years, after sustaining serious
injuries, becoming toymaker,
and such an expert one that with

Under Cover Of Night And
Straighten Line Before
Verdun.
OFFENSIVE DIES DOWN
German Attack Northwest Of
Verdun Results in Heavy
TeutOn Losses.

London, April 10.-The Bethin-
court salient, which for weeks had
projected like a wedge into the Ger
man lines northwest of Verdun, has
been evacuated by the French.
The evacuation was carried out I'M
der cover of darkness and without
interference with the French through
the move, have been enabled to
straighten out their line which now
runs from the corner of the Avocourt
wood to the south of the crossing of
the Bethincourt-Esnes and Bethin-
court-ChattancOurt roads.
Violent attacks delivered by the
Germans against the new positions
found the French lines unwavering
and all of them were repulsed, except
between the Avocourt wood and the
FORCES brook, where the Germans
succeeded in entering the Freuch
trenches, but were almost immediate
ly driven out.
Northeast of Verdun and around
Pepper hill and on the Douaumont-
Vaux sector, the Germans heavily
bombarded French positions, but
were unable to launch any Infantry
attack in the face of the fire of the
French guns. The capture of the $50
meters of German trenches southwest
OF DouaumOnt is reported by Paris.
On the rest of the lines in France
and Belgium artillery duels alone
have been in progress.
T h e offensive of the Russians
against the Germans in northwest
Russia has simmered down TO d. nuaI
commandments and bombing attacks
by the German and Russian aviators.
Artillery actions in the Lake Narcoz
region continue and an infantry attack
by the Germans here was repulsed by
the Russian fire.
Considerable fighting between the
Turks and the Russians has taken

been active.
