London, March S-The German
forces. under the crown prince. failed
last night to continue their driving at
tack on the French lines before Yer
dun. No part of the four-mile line is
free from the possibility of a massed
assault at any time, it is reported.
The Germans, thus far, at cost of
large losses of men and guns, accord
ing to French sources, obtained COM
mand of the approaches to the main
French positions beyond the west
bank of the Meuse.
Paris says the Germans set aside
100000 men to capture Verdun. Only
two-thirds of these have been en-
ployed, and it is a question as to
whether the remainder will be used TO
make sudden descent on some other
part of the line.
In the Champagne, the French have
recaptured the trenches lost to the
Germans on Monday.

memorandum explaining the Ger

merchantmen controversy, and the
cases leading up to the decision

chantmen.
Neither would divulge the con-
tents.
Germany alleges that England
has taken advantage of the con-
tention of the United States that
Americans must be safe on de-
fensiveiy armed merchantmen to
have ships act extensively against
an enemy submarine.
The German government con-
cedes that as the submarine IS
new engine OF war, international
law as present constituted makes
no provision for their Use. Ger
many is understood to have ex-
pressed willingness to operate
her submarines in accordance
with international law prior to the
war, provided Great Britain does
not violate the same law.

Chicago, March 8.-More than
30 per cent of the 100000 railway
employees of the country favor de-
nanding an eight-hour day with
time and half for overtime, when
the wage agreement expires this
month.
This was indicated today when
the union leaders met here to tabu-

question.
The leaders of the union are said
to be opposed to arbitrating the
differences, though they hope that
a strike which will tie up the 528
railroads of the country will not be
necessary.

FALLS IS FEET IN HIS
EXCITEMENT; UNINJURED
Gerald Eubanks, One of the Two
Men Sent to Hattiesburg from Pearl
River County for Safekeeping, Gov
ers His Tracks-Police Dogs Are
Called, But Trace Him Only Short
Distance-Associa Accomplices.

Gerald Eubanks, express and mail
from Pearl River county early last
month, to Hattiesburg for safekeep-
ing, made a daring and successful es-
cape from the Forrest county Jail last
night, eluded his pursuers, and today
is believed to be in hiding some place
in the county.
Eubanks picked a Yale lock in the
county Jail, went into the attic of the
structure, cut four of the heavy blan-
kets into strips, which he plated into
a rope, and swung to the ground and
to safety.
The police dogs OF Frank Fl. Nc
Kenzie were called into service, and
they traced the fleeing prisoner TO
the fertilizer factory. Here they lost
the trail.
A description of Eubanks has been
telephoned and telegraphed through
out the state. Photographs of the
man, made only yesterday, will follow
in the mails. The Hattiesburg police,
the county officers and the special
detectives employed by the various
railroads entering Hattiesburg, and
by the Southern Express Company
are joining in the hunt.
Escape Was Daring.
The escape of Eubanks was espe-
cially daring. The man became ex.
cited at the last moment, while climb
ing down the improvised rope, and
came perilously near injuring himself
when he dropped a distance of Is feet
to the cement steps on the southeast
side of the Jail. He fell on his left
side, and groaned audibly for a mo.
ment. He arose to his feet as quickly
as possible, and limpingly ran east
ward on Batson street, to the Shuttle
factory thence to the fertilizer fac.
tory. He disappeared at that point
and has not been seen since
The escape was made shortly after
o'clock. 1t was still light. and the
fleeing prisoner attracted much atten
ton. One boy riding a bicycle, fol
lowed him to the Shuttle factory. and

must. now have a great army OF
rooster soldiers. and they must
be fed on humbugs bought at a
fancy price from the capitalist
70 sters.
So the common chickens of the
country allowed themselves to be
scared half to death by their
rooster president who was being
urged on by the capitalist roost-
ers. The common chickens didn't
have sense enough to catch onto
the fact that the clamor for more
army ROSTERS fed on humbugs
came entirely from the group of
capitalist roosters who owned
Humbug Mountain.
So they supported the big
army. the real purpose of which
was to further enrich the capital
ist roosters at the expense of the
common patriotic chickens who
had to pay the bills. You certain
Iy won't deny that chickens have
bills.
Now you may laugh at my
story of these poor chickens it
you want to. They acted with
| mighty little sense, to be sure,
but we humans didn't use a bit
more sense about such things

Here's another proof that Pros
perity is going about seeking
whom it may devour.
The junk Dealers voice is heard
in the land, and the rag-man has
come after your shirt-tail.
Thunderation!
What does that mean?
When people are getting along
we'll and enjoying p1 prosperity they
don t bother to save up all the Old
scraps. They don't need to. They
have plenty o. better things, and
the old scrappy things can go into
the junk-pile.
But if the time comes after
awhile when these same people
get hard up, and their former
prosperity is only sad memory,
then you will see them hike out
to the junk pile and begin to claw
around among the things they
once threw away. They are
mighty glad now to get even the
scraps that they were above as
ing in their prosperous days.
And now, gentlemen Of the jury
what does it mean that THIS pros
perous'' country is full Of junk
Dealers to-day? Why are tht
proud and prosperous American
people smelling around among tn,
old scrap-piles like hungry beg
gar picking his dinner out Of th'
