HALF A MILLION MEN FIGHT
LIKE "MADMEN IN A VOLCANO"

Paris, May 26.-Since Saturday the
Verdun deadlock has changed to the
most terrific pitched battle in history.
Fully half a million men are engaged
altogether, without a respite from
slaughter. While regiments melt in a
few minutes, but others take their
place, only to perish in the same way.
ut is a battle of madmen in the
midst if a volcano eruption" is the
description given by a staff captain
who left the fortress on a special mis-
sion yesterday afternoon. He contin-
ued:
Between Saturday morning and
noon Tuesday we reckoned the Ger
mans used up 100000 men on the west
Mouse front alone. That is the price
they paid for the recapture of bur re-
cent gains and the seizure of our out
lying positions. The valley separat-
ing LIE Mort Homme from Hill 287 is
choked with bodies. A full brigade
was moved down in a quarter hours
holocaust by OuE machine guns. LIE
Mort Homme itself passed from u
possession but the crescent Bourrus
position to the south prevents the
enemy from utilizing it.
"The e there is appalling, but
is dwarfed in comparison with fight
ing around Douaumont. West of the
Mouse, at least, one dies in the open
air, but at Douaumont is the horror of
darkness, where the men fight in tun-
nels; screaming with the lust of butch
cry, deafened by shells and grenades,
stifled by smoke.
even the wounded refuse to aban-
don the struggle. AS though possess
ed by devils they fight on until they
fall ~senseless from loss of blood. A
surgeon in a front line post told me
that in a redoubt at the south part of
the fort of 200 French dead fully half
had more than two wounds. Those he
was able to treat seemed utterly in
sane. They kept shouting war cries
and their eyes blazed, and. strangest
of all, they appeared Indifferent to
pain. At one moment a~nesthetics ran
out, owing to the impossibility OF
bringing forward fresh supplies
through the bombardment. Arms,
even legs we're amputated without a
groan, and even afterwards the men
seemed not to have felt the shock.
They asked for a cigarette or inquired
how the battle was going.
Our losses in retaking the fort
were less heavy than was expected,
as the enemy was .demoralized by the
cannonade-by far the most furious
/ have ever seen from French guns
and also wa taken by surprise. But
the subsequent ac On took a terrible
toll. Cover was all blown to pieces.
Every German rush vas preceded by
two Or three hours of hellstorm, and
then wave after wave of attack in
numbers that seemed unceasing..
Again and again the defenders. ranks
were renewed.
Never have attacks been pushed
home SO continuously. The fight for
Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg was no
play, nor for HOufomont at
Waterloo, but here men have been
flung 5000 at a time at brief intervals

SOCIETY LEADER LOSES PLACE.
New York Preacher Sees no Place in
American Life for Woman if
Only Social Influence.

New York, May 2S.-The Woman's
Club has doomed the society leader"
in thio country, according to Rev. DR..
Percy Stickney Grant, rector if the
Church of the Ascension, this city,
who spoke here today at a vesper ser
vice attended by more than 1000 dele
gates and alternates to the Thirteenth
Biennial Convention of the Federation
il Women's Clubs.
SIN the face Of your great organiza-
tion," Doctor Grant said 81 see no
place left in American life for the
society leader or the woman of only
social influence. Your leadership is
of the brain and heart, united for hu-
name and patriotic purposes.
"In her new place. woman has two
things to do: She must face the prob
lens of home-clesning and of house
enlargement.
"~Preventable disease, war, a high
death rate. all these r your enemies.

destructive human material. but defec-
tive and destructive IDEAS"

One of the things that Washington
Is noticing about Mrs. Wilson Is the
fact that she, the owner OF a jewelry
business that has been established for
a century, wears almost no 1ewelry
herself. One really handsome n
ment seems to be about all she cares
for even on state, occasions, and most
frequently she wears none. People
observed, with a grin OF rather nall
cious delight, that the president went
to st. Margaret's with Mrs. Wilson
one Sunday. 1t was the first time, and
downed the rumor that he was too
good q Presbyterian to go inside an
Episcopal church.-Washington Let

than Wholesale denunciation OF the
medical profession. It is no more
true that there are reputable physi-

disease than that there are standard
remedies which do as good a work;
often where the work of the good
physician cannot reach. A good ex-

rainfall here of one inch and four.

came In belts again. and some OF the

any rain at all, this was the first
good rain Keokuk has had since
June 20. when the instruments re
corded fall OF 1855 inches.
The storm last night was accomp.
anied by a heavy wind which drove
the rain in sheets along the street
and which broke down big trees in
ali parts OF the city and laid low some
~ the flowers and shrubs planted in
exposed regions. But even with the
wind the rain did lot OF good and
will insure some good garden truck
again and will help out the corn and
other crops.
Began In Afternoon.
It was shortly after 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon when the. artillery
began in the skies. There were a
few scattered peals of thunder but
the skies grew darker and inside OF
an hour there were many threaten
ing looking clouds in all directions.
People generally thought the weather
was just bluffing and didn't worry
much about the rain which the clouds
held until with few scattered drops
Of rain as q preliminary. the clouds
opened up and commenced to soak
the earth.
This was just before IS o'clock and
from then on for half hour or more
the rain fell. 1t came in sheets and
was blown through the streets in
walls of spray. The thirsty eartn
drank it in as fast as possible but it
came In such volumes that the gut
tiers along the streets were running
like mill races. The wind accomp-
anying the storm bowled over big
trees in all parts of the city and
smaller branches were whipped of
OF nearly every tree.
There were intervals OF thunder
and flashes OF lightning during the
evening but no more rain. The air
was cooled and this morning the
atmosphere was really chilly. The
low temperature last night was II
