GERMAN ATTACK 0N
 WEST BANK BEATEN
Paris Reports Success for French Arms in Verdun
 Assault.

Paris, April 12, 11.5O D. m.-The
 German general attack on the left bank of the Mouse which began on
 Sunday is regarded as having been
 beaten, and the Germans have re-
 verted to the previous relatively
 small alternate strokes against the
 French positions on both sides of the
 river and to artillery operations. When
 the remaining French projections
 along Forges Brook had been straight
 ened out the Germans were able to
 engage the principal line to the west of the river, from Avocourt by Hill No. BOA and Dead Mans Hill to Cu- mleres. Only frontal attacks under difficult conditions were possible. ex- cept at Dead Mans Hill, where the Germans were able to attack through the ravines. They tried to force a. passage between Dead Mans Hill and Cumieres and to work around the south of the hill in order to envelop 1t. After two days of hard fighting this maneuver failed and with it is believed to have collapsed the main idea of that particular German at tack. The small gain which the Ger mans made northeast of the hill is not regarded as of a nature to modify the situation.
 Military observers point out that General Petain once more has suc- ceeded with a minimum of wastage. In beating off with heavy loss the ad- versary's attack, thereby increasing the morale of the army and enhancing his own reputation.

Carlisle, Pa, March "a. - In re-
membrance of the fact that he was
the earliest pastor of the denomina-
ton in Carlisle, members of the con-
gregation of the Grace United Breth-
rem Church to-day sent to the Rev.
DR.. u. A. Colestock, at the United
Brethren Home at Quincy, a bouquet
of ninety-two carnations and q set
of resolutions. DR.. Colestock will
celebrate his 92nd birthday to-mor-
row.
The aged minister is one of the best
known and esteemed men in the
church. He was a minister for ~
years and in all that time never missed
q single session of any annual con-
ference of which he was member.
He was presiding elder of this district
for 12 years.
DR.. Colestock was the first United
Brethren preacher TO enter Carlisle,
coming here in 1S47. He organized
a class of 40 converts. A number OF
years ago he gave his large residence
at Mechanicsburg to the church to be
used as an old peoples home and thus
became the founder of the first home
of it's kind in the history of the de-
nomination. About one year ago this
institution was united with the
orphanage at Quincy and both are now
under the same board of managers.
