Secretary Hodges Cheered.

After five minutes or more of cheer Hodges. He took the floor at 9:15 and was to have finished at II o'clock, under an agreement by which each candidate was to have 15-minute eXtenion of time. Interruptions by those in the audience, whom MT. Hod- Ges declared were university students, caused the time to be extended fre- quently by MT. Mitchell, however, anc it was 11:5O when MT. Hodges ended. As he took the platform the band struck up Dixie. An ovation which lasted several minutes followed.
 MT. Hodges began by outlining his platform for half an hour. Then he opened his attack on Dr. Brough, whom he termed his imaginary op- ponent" and an "interloper." He ap- ologized for the condition of his voice which was husky.
 T want to open my talk with my platform he said. "It is vital part of any candidates message to the people. Dr. Brough practically ignored his platform,
 The speeches of both Dr. Brough and MT. Hodges followed very much the same lines as made elsewhere in their regular speeches and in their printed matter. No new charges were produced by either, and the conspic- ious feature was the amount of noise made by the supporters of both, who vied with each other in that respect.

 AT VERD(jN
German Repulse Efforts of French to Regain Lost Positions.
 Make No Further Gains.

Ltndon, March 12.-Reports froI1 the French and German War Offices concerning today's operations reveal 10 ilnportant changes in the relative positions of the opposing forces i'll the leeion cf Verdun. The French admit tI.- capture by the Germans of small trench adjoining the Etain read north or Fix. The German statement makes no mention of any special advance, bu; deals mostly with the failure of the French by counter-attacks to re- gain positions taken by the Germans in the past few years. The French statement says that the Germans have made no attempt to gain the heights above Fort Vaux since Friday The Germans took the fort on that day, hue subsequently, admitted the French had regained a footing there. Sat urday the French were again forced out of that position but remain in possession of the strong position on the plateau above.
 The German statement says that since the present drive began, TWO weeks ago, they have captured 26,472 unwounded French officers and men and 1S9 guns of which Al were heavy pieces of ordnance and 232 machine guns.

EXCITING SCENES
 AT JOINT DEBATE
Eacl, Had Difficulty in Concluding His Remarks with Great Dis.
 order Prevailing.

Little Rock, March 14.-Pandemon- ium reigned in the City auditorium last night when at 11:45 Secretary of State Erie w. Hodges finished his part of the joint debate and Dr. c. H. Brcugh, his opponent for the Demo- cratis nomination for governor, arose to begin his rejoinder. There were 2,50O persons in the hall. The de- bate was the first and probably the last joint debate in the present guber- material race.
 Dr, Brough spoke for an hour, be- ginning at o'clock. MT. Hodges fol- lowed. He was to have talked an hour and half Because of inter- ruptions in the form of hoots, howls, limitations of dogs, roosters and cats, it required two hours and 30 minutes to complete his address .Dr. Brough was unable to make a short rejoinder because of the cheers from his sup porters and the efforts of Hodges sup porters to drown out anything he might say When Dr. Brough con- cluded his friends swarmed to the platform and on it, and several hoist ed him upon their shoulders
 AssaiIs Hodges Record
 In openisg the debate Dr. Brough assailed Mr. Hodges record as secre- tary of state, denied charges that the secretary had made against him and in conclusion briefly outlined his plat form. Shouts of approval or disap- proval few times interrupted the speech, but on the whole the audience was orderly.
 "I am glad have at last forced MT. HodGss to join me in debate" was one of the doctors opening statements "He sidestepped me at Van Buren and Mulberry as gracefully as Governor Hays sidestepped the Hot Springs rac- ing bill. You all know about that fam ous Governor Hays hesitation.

DUSE AND D'ANNUNZIO
RECONCILED AT LAST
Famous Actress Hurries to Bed
side of Wounded Poet, Her
Former Admirer

PARIS, April IA reconciliation has
taken place between Gabrielle d'Annun2io,
the famous Italian poet, and Eleanora
Duse. the noted actress, after an estrange-
ment lasting two decades
When the great actress learned that
her former admircr was in danger of los
ing his sight, as a result Of an injury while
scouting in an aeroplane, She rushed TO
Rome and remained at his bedside until
the crisis was past
Under the stimulus of that reunion, and
of the patriotic fire that burns in the
hearts of both those great artists, their
friends have witnessed an upspringing of
deep tenderness between them. 1t differs
from the passion of earlier days, when
their love and their quarrels were the
talk of Europe In Duse's new demeanor
toward the poet the onlookers perceive
signs of the deep-lying spirit Of maternity,
which none have known better than she
how to portray. And dAnuunzio, now a
bald little man Of middle age, seems to
lean upon her affection with something of
the dependence that is an essential part
of hlial love.
It was not so In the days preceding his
novel, THE Flame" In which he played
the part of a viviscCtor to her heart, merCi-
lessly exposing the inmost workings OF a
love affair between passionate woman
past her youth and a poet many years
her Junior.
About n year before the war broke out
d'Annunzio announced to the world that
he had exhausted all the possibilities of
life. and that in two years, unless he
should discover some new sensation, he
would kill himself.

MUNITION PLANTS LURE BOY
WORKERS.; DISLIKE OLD JOBS
Want Ads for Messengers Bring Few Replies - War
Work at So Day for Unskilled
the Cause

A hoy wanted" advertisement brought
four applicants to the office of the Postal
Telegraph Company in n whole day. A
year ago there would have been 20 or DO
youths-perhaps even 75-only too eager
to don the blue of a messenger and speed
about as the Mercurles of the metropolis.
But a year ago munition making wasn't
the frenzied industry that It has now be-
come in this country. A year ago un-
skilled labor wasn't being paid 50 day
as now. A year ago the advertising col
umns weren't crowded with the numerous
announcements of jobs for boys. And a
year ago the child labor law hadn't gone
into effect.
One Saturday not so long ago youth
who was glad to make 81 or S5 week
carrying messages to and from tele-
graph office in West Philadelphia jour-
neyed a few miles to the south of the
city to Eddystone There he found great
industrial establishments, in which the
whirring machinery was never silent, day
or night. He learned that fabulous sums
were being poured into the Golfers of these
great establishments through the manu-
facture Of instruments of death, and that
sums almost as fabulous in comparison
were finding their way into the pockets OF
the workers who made these instruments
of death.
He came back to the city. told his
boss he was through, told his colleagues
OF the new gold fields he had discovered
told his mother that she would not have
TO take in sewing any more and packed
his trunk. =
Soon other messengers were resigning,
kissing fond mothers and packing trunks.
The news had spread and the youthful
adventurers were off for the gold fields.
Now the gold fever has become general
and hundreds of boys have deserted the
city and the pursuits of peace.
To complicate the situation for the en-
ployers and especially for the telegraph
companies the child-labor law went into
effect. Their whole system of messenger
service had to be rearranged. Boys under
16 had to be sent to school eight hours
a week. Boys under 81 couldn't work at
night r, A. Black, local manager of the
Western Union Company. said that the
cost of messenger service has doubled
since January /.
An inestimable number of boys have
gone to Wilmington and the other places
where the du Pont powder company has
it's plants, and to Eddystone, where are
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the
Remington Arms Company plants.
Eighteen dollars a week is not bad pay
for boy.
All this has caused the wages of mes
senger boys to ascend rapidly. Many of
the boys now earn SO or $40 a week
