DAY LOST FOR GERMANY
Sir Edward Morris Says Verdun Was

Bottom. W. r.

Paris, July 27--Sir Edward Morris,
premier of Newfoundland, in an inter-
view today with representative of the
Havas News agency, declared that the
Germans were beginning to realizze
the war is practically finished.
Premier Morris has just returned
from the section of the Somme front
where the Newfoundland detachment
is stationed. He said:
1.-The war is virtually finished and
Germans were beginning to realize
it. The battle of Verdun, the greatest
in history is a victory for France. 1t
is the finest of all her glorious ex-
ploits and gives a new impulse to the
whole nation.
German prisoners with whom I
talked, some of them officers wearing
the Iron Cross, told me that the en-
peror and his staff seem to fear that
Germany has lost the game. The col
lapse of Germany is only a question
of time. When that day arrives we
must see that the victory is not lost by
diplomatic negotiations"

boy became fast friends. But Leila
was as Indifferent to him as to the
other men.
Perhaps jim would never have
found the opportunity he craved of
becoming her friend, but for an acct

railroad embankment in search Of
birds eggs. His mother was with
him, but seated little distance be-
hind the rise. Jim, watching them
impatiently from the other side,
knew that the afternoon train was
due.
Becoming uneasy, he hurried
across the valley. He was just on
the opposite ridge when he heard the
train in the distance. The sound,
which burst forth suddenly as the
train came out of the tunnel, startled
the boy, perched on a ledge. He lost
his footing and fell 20 feet; to lie I'M
conscious across the metals. At the
same time the mother rose, discoV-
cred him and screamed.
Jim plunged down the steep EN-
bGnkment, seized the boy snatched
him from the metals and covered
with him against the cliff, while the
train went sweeping by, so near that
the draft almost blew him from
where he had planted himself. After
ward the boy opened his eyes.
The distracted mother kneeIed be-
