mountebank was going through the
country infiaming the passions of the
unreasoning ones, why possibly all of
these foregoing facts accounts in
some rational manner for his psy-
chology. He possibly thought that
he would take hand in the game
himself.
But why should he attack the
church? He probably saw what
thousands of others are seeing, that
big business and the church have al
lied interests. Was he right in his
actions? cannot say. 1t is hard to

PRINCE, TIRED OF MARRIAGE,
GOES TO REAL WAR

New York, Feb. 24-Prince Mis-
kinoff, of the olive complexion and.
chocolate colored spats and the
American heiress bride, is going far
away from the love shafts of his
beautiful foster daughter, Yvonne,
his "own little Kzi-Kizi" who sis ir-
resistible in neglgee," he announced
today.
He plans to join the cars army.
When next you hear of the hand
kissing prince he may be the hero of
a gallant charge around Mush, or of,
a fierce fight near Baronavitschi.
The princes suit for separation is
about off,, he admitted. And the
princess, who was formerly Aimee
Croker, California heiress, is ready
to call it quits, having proved to the
satisfaction Of the prince that she
was not the real mother of the baby
Wore, after all, but adopted the child.
The golden-haired Yvonne, who &C
cording to the princess was the real
cause of the arrangement, will stay
with the princess.

GERMANS ON OFFENSIVE

124 men of these regiments were

the front, when the British finally
won the town.
South of the Somme, as well as
against the British north of the river
the Germans are delivering deter.
mined counter-attacks in an effort tc
win back lost ground. The Berlin
statement today makes the claim that
Biaches, La Maisonette, Soyecourt
and Barleux are again in German
hands. This is denied by the French
War Office at Paris.
The French communifue that
strong German night attacks on a
front stretching from Biaches to La
Maisonettc were rspulscd and that
the Germans were not able to gain
possession of the former village de-
spite their utmost efforts. That the
Teutons did win a footing in Bach
es is indicated by the midnight COM
muniouc from Paris, which states
they had held in the outer sections
of the village.
he strategy Of Gen. Haig now is
being concentrated in efforts to wild
en- the four mile gap cut in the leu
ton front north of the Sommc, realiz-
ing that the driving forward of small
wedges here and there, as the Brit
ish have done in previous offensive
efforts, only gives the Germans an
opportunity to hammer in such sal
tents later on. This is the Alder
salient, and every gain made by the
British in the last several days has
had the desired effect.
The steady pressure cXertcd
against the Germans and the con-
tinued success Of the British strategy
i, reported to have so alarmed the
Teuton generals and the Emperor
himself that Field Marshal Won Hin
dcnburg, genius Of the German arms,
has been called to the western front
Tor a conference. This information
comes in dispatch from Amstcr-
dam. which adds that following the
conference, it is likely Won linden

Two Documents in House
Ask Increased Allowances
Because of Living Costs

The high cost of living figured in
two documents submitted to the House
today. Secretary Redfeld sent a petit
tion. signed by $50 employees of the
census bureau. asking for an increase
of salaries because of the advarced cost
Of the necessities of life. Mr.. Redfeld
indorsed the petition, saying that tho
increase in the cost of articles Of COM
mon consumption brought about the
necessity Of increased salaries. which
he had urged in his annual report. A
similar petition recently was submitted
by employees of the coast and geodetic
survey.
Secretary Baker submitted a recon-
mendation for an increase in the
amount of communication allowed for
er'isteS men and other patients at
army hospitals. Because of the In
c.feasei .ost of food. he proposed that
Communication for these hospital patients
and others be at rate Of 40 cents
hereafter. instead of 80 cents, except
at Fort Bayard Hospital, New Mexico,
where 1t would remain so cents, as at
present.
Another cost Of living inquiry will
be proposed in the House Monday
when Representative SABBATH of Illinois
will INTRODUCE q bill directing the De-,
partment of..Justice to investigate the
high cost of sugar.
