FRENCH WANT TO REBUILD

The British have driven back the

When spring comes peasants will

BELIEVE GERMAN LOSSES ARE
GREATER THAN ALLIES.

As the British kept up the oren-
sive their exposure necessarily was
greater. Yet from all information the
correspondent can gain, both from
British officers OF all grades who have
been IN the fighting and from Ger
man prisoners. tho German losses
were not less than 25 and possibly 30
per cent. higher than the British dur
inu tho month OF September, when
tho British gained most ground.
This contradiction OF the previously
accepted idea OF a higher rate OF cas-
ualties for the side on the offensive,
which Is usually considered as neces-
sariiy not less than two TO one, Is due
according to the British officers, to
the superior power OF British shell
fire. the numbers OF British aero
planes. the increased skill OF the Brit
ish soldiers and the use OF the
Tanks" The British stan did not
place much reliance on these new
contrivances. which aroused such
world wide interest. but regarded
them as an experiment which might
fail altogether. They are only one OF
the inventions aiding the offensiNt
against modern fortitications which
will be used next spring, when tn,
British are fully prepared. Calcula
tions as to the value OF the Tank3 ar,

Eddie is only %, unless one credits
the rumor that he slept through three
of his birthdays and so lost them to

his fond parents-ah! could they
have but foreseen how cruel fate
would be to him named him Ed

Nature chiseled Eddie's face that
it might appeal to the mOthering in

aggressive; his lips are full and
tremuloUs; his eyes are blue-gray
fluff out of a warm sky.
He appeared in the court of do

lady, she who so cruelty lUred him
into marriage when he was but an
unsophisticated travelling salesman
eight years ago, rOoming in Milwau-

"She was the first woman l saw in
Milwaukee" said Eddie, the tremOlo

Vampire, a woman more deadly in
that she is what is termed a brilliant
woman who has been on the payroll
of a university, lecturer on SANTA

LITTLE EDDIE
"She had been divorced only three
days when we were wed, said Eddie,
accusingly, and one could fancy how
he must have shook his finger at her
when she had him enraged. Later
we were remarked" and he smirked
like a Lothario for was it not proof
Of the designing nature Of the wOm-
an, when, not content with marrying
him once, she married him twice
that it might be binding?

said Eddie, swelling his CHESTNUT
later the cruel Vampire testified that
$500 of her salary went into Eddfe's
hOuse-'and she sold it and followed
me to Brooklyn, N. Y, and we had
14-rOOm boarding house there and
it was full of boarders, -Eddie's
voice almost bTOke-'I didn't get any
Of the money she got from the board

Asst States Atty Quirke, who was
lined up on the Vampires side. tried
to show Eddie where he got his Iiv-

voices, and one said Eddie was turn

said Il object" and so no account

paid the money that the Vampire got
from the bOarders.
Then Eddie got out his little pitch
bucket and brush, but Judge New
conner wouldn't let him get by with
the highly amusing story he told in
the taTTing process. Then he adj
mitted in reply to the stern questions
of his protecting counsel that the

The Factory Peril.

For a noncombatant to get within
the firing line of the bloody European
war is considered an impossibility.
There is a reason-it is dangerous
place: ones life would be in jeopardy.
Here in New York, are more than l.
600 900 persons, working every day, in
places almost as dangerous as the fir
ing line of Europe. They go and come
with no thought Of danger, merely be-
cause they have thus far escaped death
and injury. Yet tragedy might be
enacted at any moment. Some time
ago the cloak, suit and skirt industries
of New York engaged DR.. George M.
Price to inspect the fire hazards of the
many buildings devoted to these manu-
featuring interests. Doctor Price has
made his report, in which he says that,
out of 928 buildings, 80 were found to
be perfectly safe. 1t might require d
mathematician to figure out how much
better chance one of the employees of
these structures has Of escaping death
than he would have on the firing line.

FEEDING SKIM MILK TO HENS
Interesting Test Made With Four Pens
of PuIIets at the Purdue Ex-
pertinent Station.

In a test made at Purdue where
four pens of puliets were kept well
fed up on grain and one was given
meat scrap in addition, one had fish
scrap, one drank skim milk and one
had none of these animal foods-the
latter were kept at a loss; didn't lay
eggs enough to pay for their keep.
The profit in the meat-scrap pen
was $1.55 per pullet; the 1sh-scrap
pen, $1.56; in the skim-milk pen, $1.62
In the meat-scrap pen the pullets
averaged 135 eggs per year, in the
fish-scrap pen 12S eggs, in the skim
milk pen 1854 eggs, in the pen where
TO meat food was given 32.5 eggs.
Skim milk made the difference be-
tween 195 and 80 eggs. Hardly pays
to waste skim milk at these figures.
