PARIS, Augu. 24.-Two German al

Somme, preceded by intense artillery
fire were completely repulsed BY the
French in last nights fighting. it was
officially announced today.
The first attack, by German gren-
ade parties was repulsed by machine
gun and infantry fire. The Germans
retired while their artillery prepared
the way for a second attempt south
east OF Soyecourt. French gunners
laid q steady barrage fire across the
intervening ground and prevented the
Germans from leaving their trenches.
In the Champagne region the
French repulsed several surprise at

LONDON, Aug. 24.-The ancient
Greek city Of Seres. forty-three miles
northeast Of Salonika, is under attack
by a strong Bulgarian force, accord
ing to Athens dispatches today.
The Greek garrison is cooperating
with French forces In defending the
city. French artillery Is replying
vigorously to heavy Bulgarian bonn
bardment while the Greeks under
Colonel Christophoulous are throwing
up entrenchments. The Seres garri-
son Is being reinforced by small
Greek detachments who retired upon
the city after spirited fighting with
numerically superior Bulgarian forces.
On practically every other sector OF
the Balkan front the Bulgarian offen-
sive has been brought to standstill.
The Serbs have yielded but little
ground on the left wing since their
first retirement Anglo-French forces
are consolidating and improving their
positions in the Doiran region on tha
center.
The Bulgarian drive southwark
against Seres. a city of $4,000 inhabi-

critical situation at Athens. IL Seres
falls, the Bulgars will have practically

ness killed his friend lphitus. And
the three years which he spent as the
slave of Omphale were punctuated by
larger and better deeds than those OF
Samson in like situation-bursting
the new cords with which the men OF
Judah had bound him and the green
withes and new ropes with which
Delilah shackled him. The record
that Samson Judged Israel in the days
of the Philstines twenty years" leads
the ordinary reader to think of him as
a sage judicial parsonage, whereas 1t
means only that he was the political
and military leader of his people dur
ing that period, lifted to a magisterial
position by his strength and proves in
war. His achievements are muscular,
not mental.
Rabbinical legends have magnified
his stature and power in precisely the
same manner as the imagination of the
poet of the Lay of the Nibelung
magnified the stature and strength Of
Siegfried. His shoulders, says the
legend. we're sixty ellis broad; although
he was lame in both feet, when the
Spirit Of God came on him he could
step from Zorah to Eshtaol; the hairs
of his head arose and clashed against
one another so that they could be
heard for a like distance; he was so
strong that he could uplift two noun
tains and rub them together like two
clods of earth. Herakles tore asunder
the mountain which, divided, now
forms the Straits Of Gibraltar and
Gates of Hercules.
The parallel which is frequently
drawn between Samson and Herakles
cannot be pursued far with advantage

Young lion on the road 10 Timnath,
whittier he was going to take his
Philistine wife; Herakles, while still
a youthful herdsman, slew the Thes-
pian lion and afterward strangled the
Nemean lion with his hands. Samson

them to the top OF hill before Heb

to the machinery Of the Greek drama.
A word about the NEUROLOGICAL inter-
probation of the characters which have
been placed in parallel: 1t may be
helpful to an understanding of the
Hellenic mind to conceive Herakles as
a marvellously strong man, hrst
glorified into a national hero
and finally deifed. So, too, the
theory that Herakles sinking down
upon his couch of fire is but
a symbol of the declining sun can be
entertained without marring the grand
eur of the hero or belittling Natures
phenomenon; but it would obscure our
understanding OF the Hebrew intellect
and profane the Hebrew religion to
conceive Samson as anything but the
man that the Bible says he was; while
to make of him, as lgnaz Golziher sug-
gests, symbol of the setting sun
whose curly locks (cri7les Phoebt) are
sheared by Delilah-Night, would bring
contumely upon one of the most beau
tiful and impressive Of Natures spec
tacles. Before the days of compare
tive mythology scholars were not
troubled by such interpretations. Jose

ron; Hcrakles upheld the heavens
while Atlas went to fetch the golden
apples of Hesperides. Moreover, the
feats Of Herakles show a higher in
tellectual quality than those of Sam
son, all of which, save one, were pre-
dominantly physical. The exception
was the trick of tying 300 foxes by
their tails, two by two, with frebrands
between and turning them loose TO
burn the corn Of the Phillstines. An
ingenious way to spread a confiagra-
ton, probably, but primitive, decidedly
primitive. Herakles was scientific
engineer of the modern school; he
yoked the flyers Alphets and Pencils
TO his service by turning their waters
through the Augean stables and cleans
ing them of the deposits Of 5000 oxen
for thirty years. Herakles had excel
lent intellectual training; Rhadaman-
thus taught him wisdom and virtue,
Linus music We know nothing about
the bringing up of Samson save that
"the child grew and the Lord blessed
him. And the Lord began to move him
at times in the camp OF Dan between
Zorah and Eshtaol." Samson made lit
tie use of his musical gifts, If he had
any. but that little he made well; Her
akles made little use of his musical
training, and that little he made i'll.
He lost his temper and killed his mu-
sic master with his Lutte; Samson, after
using an implement which only the
black slaves Of our South have treated
as a musical instrument, TO Stay thou
sand Philistines, jubilated in song:
With the jawbone OF an ass
Heaps upon heaps
With the jawbone Of an ass
Have slain thousand men!
The vast fund Of human nature laid
bare in the story of Samson is, it ap-
pears to me, quite sufficient TO explain
its popularity and account for its ORR
gin. The hero's virtues. strength, cour-
age. patriotism, are those which have
ever won the hearts of men, and they
present themselves as but the more ad-
mirable, as they are made to appear

Saint-Saens's opera has also passed
through many vicissitudes, but has sue
eumbed 10 none and is probably pos
sessed Of more vigorous life now than
il ever had. It is the recognized OPP
cratic masterpiece of the most re-
sourceful and fecund French musician
since Berlioz. Saint-Saens began the
composition of Samson ct Dalila" IN
1859. The author Of the book, Ferdi-
nand Lemaire, was cousin OF the
COMPOSER. Before the breaking out Of
the Franco Prussian War the score was
so far on the way TO completion that
It was possible to give its second act
a private trial. This was done, an IN
eident Of the occasion-which after
ward introduced one element Of pathos
in its history-being the singing Of the
part Of Samson by the painter Henri
Regnault. who soon after lost his life
in the service Of his country. A me-
mortal 10 him and the friendship which
existed between him and the composer
is the "Marche Heroique," which bears
the dead mans name on its title page
Toward the end Of 1872 the opera was
finished For two years the score rest
&c in the composers desk. Then the
second act was again brought forth
for trial, this time at the country
home Of Nine. Viardot, at Croissy, the

more natural, by pairing with that
amiable weakness, susceptibility to
woman's charms.
After all Samson is a true type OF
the tragic hero, whatever DR.. Chrys-
ander or another may say. He is i'm
PEELED by Fate into a commission oil
the follies which bring about the wreck
of his body. His marriage with the
Philistine woman in Timnath was part
of a divine plot. though unpatriotic
and seemingly impious. When his
father said unto him: as there never
a woman among the daughters of thy
brethren or among all my people that
thou goest TO take wife of the un-
crcumcised Philistines?" And Samson
said unto his father: "Get her for me;
for she pleaseth me we'll" The father
did not know that sit was of the Lord
that he sought an occasion against the
Philistines." Out of that wooing and
winning grew the first Of the encoun-
ters which eliminated in the destruc-
ton of the temple of Dagon, when the
dead which he slew at his death were
more than they which he slew in his
life" So his yielding to the pleadings
of his wife when she betrayed the
answer to his riddle and his succumb-
ing to the wheedling arts of Delilah
when he betrayed the secret of his
strength-acts incompatible with the
character of an ordinary strong and
wise man-were of the type essential
