On the right bank of the river in the
sector of Thiaumont and Douaumon,
the battle has been continued with fe-
rocity. The enemy during the night in
CT used the number of their attacks in
massed formation and they suffered
enormous losses They were success
full. however. in occupying a trench
which had been taken by US to the
north of the Thiaumont farm. Every
where else we held our positions
Inside of Fort Douaumont we have
continued to force back the enemy and
In spite of spirited resistance the
Germans today hold only the northeas,
corner of the fort.

cessful The night passed in relative
calm on the remainder of the front"

Unable to Hold Gains.

The battle around Hill 304 was espe-
cially severe. In attacking French po-
sitions on the vest side of the hill the
Germans used liquid gas, the official
statement says. and penetrated one of
the French trenches. but were dislodged
1t once. On the east side of the hill the
Germans attacked after intense artil-
lery preparation, but were not permit
ted to reach the French lines.
The principal fighting east of the
Meuse was in the sector between Thiau-
mont and Douaumont. The Germans
attacked in mass formation and are
said to have suffered enormous losses.
They succeeded in reoccupying one of
the trenches north of Thiaumont farm.
which had been captured by the French.

Thinks $41, 100000 Small Amount

Mr.. Mckee said that Sal, ,0OO,0 over
period of twenty years did not ap-
near to be a very large contribution
in view of the benefits the government
would derive from getting young
blood in place of old in the depart
mentS.
Mr.. Mckee cited the success of the
straight pension systems adopted by
the Pennsylvania railroad and the In
ternational Harvester Company.
The large number of designations by
government employees in recent years,
Mr. Mckee said. indicated clearly that
the government was not doing it's full
share of justice to these employees
They resigned. he said. to take better
Jobs outside the government. He told
the committee that several hundyed
thousand had resigned from 1908 to
1915.
THAT is largely due to politics." said
Senator Smoot, "and I can tell you one
thing, II we republicans win this COM
ing election there are going to be a
lot more such designations"
Senator Blair Lee of Maryland, a
member of the committee. said he did
not incline to the contributory plan.
since 1t appeared not to have worked
well In the past elsewhere.

Official French Report.

The text of the statement follows:
'1n the region of Verdun the battle con-
tinued with extreme violence all last
night on both banks of the River Meuse.
On the left bank of the stream furious
counter attacks delivered by the enemy
against all our positions at Hill 304 re-
suited in complete failure. West of the
hill the enemy employed in large measure
machines to throw flaming liquids This
permitted them to penetrate one of our
trenches. but a brilliant counter move
ment on the part of our troops compelled
them Immediately to evacuate all the po-
sitions gained
East of the hill, IN spite of an intense
preparatory artillery fire. the attack of
the enemy was broken by our fire and
they could not reach our lines

son of poor parents in western
state They toiled on that little farm
year after year to keep their boy in
college. The freshman, sophomore
and junior years passed by and he
came to the last year of his course.
The parents looked forward TO the
time when he would graduate and
they toiled harder and saved a little
10 pay their expenses TO the college
town TO see him receive his diploma.
They thought about il by day. they
talked about it by evening and they
almost dreamed about il by night.
They had intimated their desire in
some of their letters to their boy. One
evening the father brought a letter
from the village postofilce and after
the chores were done and the dishes
were washed. they sat down in the
kitchen TO read that precious epistle.
II read something like this; Dear
parents-Several times lately you
have intimated that you were think
ing of coming here TO commencement.
! hardly think it would be advisable.
Your plain clothes and manner would
hardly be in keeping with this college
town. You need the money more for
other things. II will not be long un-
til I will see you. Until then I re-
main, your Son" The letter dropped
from those nerveless hands. After
all those years of hardship and
sacrifice. the son was ashamed of his
parents Bitter were the tears that
were shed in that kitchen that even

why sentence should not now be pro-
nounced upon the prisoner at the
barr The aged mother trembling,
stepped forward and extending her
hands, exclaimed, "Oh, judge, do not
sentence him, it will break my heart!"
But the Judge had to perform his
sworn duty and he pronounced
sentence upon the prisoner. With one
shrek, the mother fell to the floor
and died. The doctors. at the post
mortem, said she had died of heart
failure. but many Will believe that
the mother had spoken the truth
when she said she would die of a
broken heart.
Let us add word upon the fifth
commandment, Honor thy father and
mother" Young America is laying
the old folks on the shelf in these
days. There is not the spirit or ven
GRAFTON and respect for gray hairs
that there ought to be, yea that there
used tc be. The warden of Sing Sing
pcnitenitiary said recently, in an
address. "A great majority OF the
criminals OF the prison traced the
beginning of their downfall TO their
disregard of parental authority.
Disobedience to parents" said he "is
the highway to the penitentiary."
Young folks, take good care of the
old folks. You will not have them
with you long. In later years, moth
ing will give you more real satisfac-
tion than the remembrance Of the
kindness and the helpfulness you
manifested, in your youth, to your
parents. Nothing will cause you more
bitter remorse and regrets, than to
look back upon unkind and evil words
and actions that brought grief and
heartaches to a loving father and
mother. You may be sure that retri-
button will follow your wrong-doing.

who were unwilling to have the aged

the things that you do not want them

the father "Oh, / was Just think

own child would have treated him in
similar manner. For as you SOW,

Let me stop to ask you parents, Are
you living such life that you are
worthy Of the respect OF your chill

TO honor their parents as il is for
water to run down hill. II you have

The only son Of widowed mother.
When his graduation time grew near,
he sent for his mother. he met her
at the station. he gave her the very
best accommodations his limited
means could afford. On commence
menrday, when the orations had been
given and the music had ended. the
president stepped forward and said.
IL will now read the name Of the
one who is 20 receive the gold medal
for the highest scholarship for the
entire four years course" To the
surprise OF this young man his name
was read. The president asked him
to come 10 the front and receive the
medal. Then there came a most
thrilling scene. Taking the medal
from the hand OF the president, he
stepped down from the platform and
made his way to a rear seat where
set little woman clad I'm widows
garb. STOPPING down he pinned the
gold medal on the breast of his
mother Then standing IN the aisle
he said. "Mr. President faculty and
friends. II has been said to-day that
this medal belongs ia me. But II
have done anything worthy OF especial
credit. next TO the love of God il has
been due TO the inspiration ! have
received from this mother OF mine. ."
Thank God, for such young man
as that. A young person that honors
and obeys the earthly parents is not
very far from hOnOrinn and Oboying
