RepulSe of German Attacks
Inspires Confidence.
DEAD LYING IN HEAPS
Flower of Teutonic Army Is Hurled
Against French Left in Frantic Ef
fort TO Break Through the Line and
Clear the Way for Another Advance
on Paris.

Paris. March Public confidence
is greatly strengthened by the news
of the continued repulse of the Ger
man attacks near Verdun In mill
tary and political circles intense sat
isfaction is expressed regarding the
situation and the opinion begins to
prevail that the great efforts of the
Germans will be more easily disposed
of them expected at first.
Having failed to make any impress
sion on the Douaumont position and
on Vaux, to it's right, the German gen
eral staff determined to smash the
French left on the Vacherauville
Wood-Cote du Poivre position. With
out regard to the cost the best troops
were hurled forward, but with no
more success than elsewhere. Pom
eranians and what was left of the
Brandenburgers dashed themselves
valnly against the French, who stood
rs immovable as a rock wall.
At Vaux the Germans finally fell
back, leaving dead In heaps. The
French infantry, supported by their
formidable artillery, showed them
selves able to resist every onslaught.
On the left bank of the Meuse artil-
lery on both sides Numbered. The
French infantry in that section had
little to do. but IL remains there ready
for any e~ventuality, although the mill
tary experts believe 1t is extremely
doubtful that the Germans will at
tempt to storm the Mont-Homme key
position, for to do so they must deploy
over a plain a mile wide, under cross
fire from the heights around.

Fifteen vessels are said to have

The Moewe has achieved one of the
most spectacular feats of the war by

Wilhelmshaven is on the North sea,

The Moewe had to pass through these
waters before ii could reach port In

that of yesterday. Trade opened
slow and first offers showed weak

veloped later and close was strong to
loo higher. Supply at hand was of
liberal volume and included a show

Business proceeded on a strong
basis in the stocker and feeder de

both steers and she stuff met a ready
sale and there were cases where sales
were rated as much as a dime higher
than on the previous day.
Quick action was obtainable on
hogs this morning and with a keen

news fayorably, sellers were able to
secure rates that were sharply higher.
Advance for the day figured right at

THREE WARSHIPS

Going on Reserve.
OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS
Officers Assert Their Value as Real

ties VIII Use Them as Training

Ships.
Philadelphia, March THE battle
ships Alabama, Ohio and Georgia are
to be stricken from the navy roster
as real fighting units, and probably
for the naval reserve. The assertion
was made by several officers of the
Philadelphia navy yard.
One of the officers asserted that the
battleships, despite their excellent
condition, are obsolete, and serve no
purpose other than to retard the prog
ress and impair the efficiency OF first
line ships"
The Alabama, flagship of the re-
serve fleet, and the Ohio, are at the
Philadelphia navy yard. The Georgia
is on it's way to the local yard to join
the reserve fleet.
The Alabama was laid down twenty
years ago and is a 12,00O-ton ship.
The Ohio and Georgia, built a few
years later, are virtually the same
size and carry similar ornaments.
"A battleship," said the officer,
must perform the duties of a battle
ship. Neither one of the old ships
would be able to stand up against the
newer ships. For instance. a ship like
the Pennsylvania could sink the three
battleships in less than a half hour
and sustain no damage, because the
new craft could keep out of the range
of the old battleships. They have
had their day and while they appear
formidable on paper and swell the
number of battleships they would be
of little service in an engagement with
any of the first class naval powers"

URIC ACID AND GOVT.

We all know that the body gets its
nOUrishment from the blood. Now the
normal chemical reaction of blood Is
alkaline. When, therefore. the tissues
are constantly bathed in blood which is
acid instead OF alkaline, something Is
bound to 90 wrong. and the amount Of
mischief set up depends upon the amount
OF aCidity Of the blood and the ability
OF a given constitution to ward of or
get rid OF the excess of acid, for nor
mally there is a certain amount of uric
acid in the body. There must be, as It is
the end product OF all heterogeneous food
and is eliminated from the body through
the kidneys.
It IS only when there is an excess, an
accumulation. Of uric acid in the tissues
that its presence is manifested in one or
another painful manner. The thickening
OF joints and the little nodular swellings
sometimes seen on the fingers OF rheu-
matte or equity subjects are due to a
deposition Of Urates in these situations.
GOut and equity conditions. while sup
posedly more prevalent in England than
here. are really not so, the term rheu-
matte being more com monty used in our
country for the same affections. In fact,
rheumatism is a mUch-abUsed word with
Us, as has been heretofore remarked.
We apply 1t unfortunately to painful
situations from any and every cause.

products in the blood one does not have

There seems to be a great difference
of opinion among the members of the
various mothers clubs I visit about the
wisdom or the peed of reading poetry to
children. Many of our practical fathers
and mothers have an idea that it is a
kind of a weakness to enjoy poetry, and
discourage a love for II as much as
they can in their children. One of our
mothers wrote me quite recently:
Dear Aunt Chatty: l wish you would
give us one of your good talks on read
Ing poetry to children. I have always
thought children should be taught the
practical things and not allowed to read
poetry because II has a tendency to make
them soft. Lately my boy has a new
teacher and she is always reading poetry
to them in school. Now she Is making
them learn Longfellow's Hiawatha' by
heart. My husband wants to forbid the
boy learning 1t even II he has to take
him out of school, but when l talked
with the teacher about II she said she
thinks children need TO learn poetry; that
II teaches them to be good and great
and noble better than they can learn in
any other way. So / am writing to you
to tell US what you think about ii, as
you have helped us before in so many
other ways

by those who have made a study of the
development of mankind that the life
of the child is a repetition OF the develop

The teacher who is having her pupils

of "Hiawatha" is doing something for
those boys and girls for which they and
their parents should be thankful all the

she is making them familiar with the
romantic story Of the mysterious race or
races that peopled our country before
the white man set foot upon its shores,
a story that they must know If they
would truly understand the historical de-
velopment of this great land of ours. And
she is giving them a love for that his
tory in the most fascina ting fashion in
which they could imbibe it. Two counts,
you see. Besides all this, the unusual
meter and rhythm of this epic poem ap-
peal in peculiar measure to the child
mind. l love the poem myself and
have often read II to young children and
then read TO them some Of Fields child
verse and some OF Stevenson's, and /
have nearly always found that they pre-
ferred "Hiawatha" and asked that I

a child's interest in poem or story, you
know.

A MCNG the hundreds of re-

that interested me for many reasons.
1t was an attractive little circular and
it asked me to help build a hotel for

to my mind the many articles l have

the subject.
