VAUX IS CAPTURED
IN NIGHT FIGHT
=. = GERMANS
Loss of the Village is Vigorously
Denied BY Paris
BUT FIERCE FIGHTING GOES ON
Artillery onslaushts Of Germans Re-
pulsed With Heavy
Losses.

London, March 9.-Shifting their
main attack back to the east of the
Meuse, the German forces before Yer
dun have been delivering violent as.
saults on the French front east and
southeast of Douaumont, their chief
objective being VauX and Fort de
Vaux, which lies little more than
half a mile to the southwark OF the
village.
Both Vaux and the fort were cap.
tured by two Posen reserve regiments
in GLORIOUS night attack" Berlin
reports, stating that the victorious
troops were led By General Won Guret.
sky-Cornitz, Commander of the Ninth
Reserve Division of the infantry, and
that they took numerous adjoining
fortified positions"
Loss of the village is fatty denied
by the official bulletins issued in
Paris, which indicate, however, that
the fighting there has been of very
desperate character. The afternoon
report says that after an intense artii
lery fire the Germans made several
powerful onslaughts, but were com
pletely repulsed some detachments
who entered Vaux being driven out by
counterattack. The night report en-
phasizes the check to the Germans at
this point. Furious onslaughts. prob
ably made today, were repulsed with
heavy losses, it is said.
Berlin, March s, (via London,)
March 9-The attack ON the village
of Forges. on the west bank of the
Meuse, which resulted in its capture
by the Germans, was made necessary
by the fact that the French position
oyer-lapped those of the Germans by
several kilometers to the north. From
the ridges of the Cote de role the
French heavy artillery was able to
take the Germans from the flank and
rear
The statements that German losses
at Verdun were relatively light seem to
find corroboration in an official list of
the casualties of the Twenty-fourth
Regiment of Brandenburgers, who
were in the thick Of the fighting from
the beginning and stormed Fort Dou-
aumont. The total casualties in the
list are 202, of whom fifty are dead
Reports circulating in Neurippin, the
home garrison of the regiment are
that the total losses in the storming
of the fort were only eighteen killed
and wounded.

MANY BELIEVE IN CHARMS
Soldiers Of the Kaiser's Army Put
Their Faith in All Kinds of
Peculiar Amulets.

The soldiers of the kaiser are very
superstitious, from the men in the
ranks clear up to the crown prince.
Wilhelms eldest son carries a horse
shoe with him on all his auto trips,
and the crown prince spends most Of
the day in his auto. The horseshoe
lie attached to one Of the doors Of the
car and when being photographed in
his auto, the prince always insists on
the photographer taking" the side of
the car with the horseshoe,
The soldiers OF WOerttemberg pin
their faith upon little bag containing
the dry pollen Of flowers, which, they
believe, has the power of warding off
the bullets.
The Saxons sew into the lining OF
their waistcoats the wings of a bat,
and think themselves to be invincible.
The Bavarians hold on tenaciously
to a still more bizarre custom. Be-
fore going into battle each soldier
finds a birch tree, cuts his skin, and
let's a few drops of blood fall upon the
tree. This ceremony, they assert, as
sures recovery, no matter what the
nature of the wound, when the leaves
begin to grow again.

BROUGHT BACK OTHER DAYS
Biscuit Revived Sad Memories in the
Breast Of Hobo Who Received
"iiandout."

Congressman Henry A. Cooper Of
Wisconsin largely smiled the other day
when the conversation in the lobby of
a hotel turned to fond memories. He
said he was reminded of the sad emo
tions of a poor old hobo.
One afternoon the hobo in question
rambled up the garden walk of a sub
urban home and obsequiously asked
for bread Some homemade biscuit
were given him and a few minutes
later he was shaking with sobs.

Price of a Fur Coat.

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, the suf-
fragist, said at a dinner in Philadel'
phia:
I'D rather see a woman wrapped
up in politics than wrapped up in
dress. It's less expensive, too.
They talk a lot about these ants,
these home bodies; but l was visit
ing such a woman once. II was
about this time of the year, and the
little daughter of the house began to
read from one of her school books.

At Work Despite War.

The International Institute of Agri-
culture is one of the most remarkable
examples extant of cooperative effort
among the nations in humanitarian
and scientific work. Since the present
war began its activities have proceed
ed almost as in times of peace, though
it is to be feared that the entrance Of
italy into the conflict will prove a for
mijable handicap, as the institute has
its Headquarters in Rome. AS if to
emphasize its superiority to the pres
ent political situation, the institute
has published a pamphlet, dated Rome,
1915, giving an interesting history and
description of this great international
enterprise, and making no allusion to
the war.

VISIONS SEEN BY SOLDIERS
Men at the Front Firmly Convinced
They Have Been Witnesses Of
Supernatural Things.

In periods Of great national stress,
when the responsibilities facing a
people call for an effort superhuman,
the mind is more prone than in times
less tense to place dependence upon
divine aid and to believe that super
natural powers are exerting their
might.
This tendency is embodied in lit
tie column entitled The Bowmen and
other Legends of the War;" written
by Arthur Machen.
The potent character Of these tales
Of latter-day miracles is well exempli-
fed by the fact that the story of The
Bowmen," with It's allusion TO the APP
pearance of supernatural host, has
been accepted Widely in England as
fact.
Upon its publication in serial form,
there came to the author scattered
inquiries from editors of occult jour
nails as to the foundation of the story.
When the author denied that his COM
position had any basis in fact, to his
amazement, some of his correspond
ents maintained that he must be mis-
taken. In provincial papers hot con-
troversy was waged regarding the
exact nature of the appearance.
Bishop Weldon, Dean Hensley, Hen
son, Bishop Taylor Smith (the chap
lain-GeneraD, and many other clergy
have occupied themselves with the
matter. Doctor Horton preached about
the ANGELS" at Manchester; Sir Jo-
seph Compton Rickett president Of
the National Federation of Free
Church Councils), stated that the SOL
diers at the front had seen visions and
dreamed dreams, and had given testi-
mony of powers and principalities
fighting for them or against them.

FIyino War Horse.

A correspondent of the Milan Cor
riere della Sera" reports the following
story:
IAN Italian lieutenant recently rode
through one of the villages on the
Isonzo front. He dismounted before
the temporary quarters Of the com
mander of his regiment and tied his
horse to a tree. When he entered the
house he heard the humming poise OF
a large Austrian shell and a moment
later a terrible explosion followed
The shell had struck a small building
on the opposite side of che street. Ar
immense cloud of smoke and dust rose
and when it disappeared the horse OF
the officer was gone.
"The air pressure caused by the eX-
plosion had lifted the animal from
the ground and thrown it on the fiat
roof of a nearby house, where 1t was
found almost unhurt 1t was no easy
Job to get the horse to the street
again. as this could only be accom-
plished with the aid of large crane

SLIDING SCALE FOR MOBILES
Duration Of Titles In the Land Of Con.
fueius Is TO Be Definitely Fixed
by Statute.

The question as to the exact status
Of China, whether It is a republic, EN-.
pire, kingdom OF what, is a compli-
Gated one-but perhaps the president
will resolve our doubts before many
years are past by being proclaimed
emperor. For the present one does
not know what to think on reading of
the remarkable sliding scale peerage
system that is to be submitted to the
next parliament for approval. This
limits the duration Of titles in any one
family as follows:
Dukedom; inherited for FIVE genera
lions successfully invested with
princehood, marquisate, earldom, Wis
county and baronetcy
Princehood; inherited for four gem
erations successfully invested with
marquisate, earlddm, viscounty and
baronetcy.
Marquisate; inherited for three gem
erations successfully invested with
earldom, viscounty and baronetcy.
Earldom; inherited for two genera
lions successfully invested with Wis
county and baronetcy.
Viscounty; inherited by one lineal
descendant invested with baronetcy.
Baronetcy; not hereditary.
The foresight in this remarkable
roster is the fact that the presidents
