RIVERS OF BLOOD
bitches Flowed Red on Vaux
Battlefield.
Most Desperate Struggle of
Verdun Conquest.
MEN FOUR DEEP MOVED Down
but Dead Bodies After
Terrific Charge.
PruSSianS Advanced Five Times
Into Curtain Fire.

Paris. March 13.-The German
losses in the fighting around Fort
Vaux last Friday and Saturday sur
pass all previous records in this war,
according to officers who have re-
turned from Verdun. Time and time
again and with extra ordinary courage,
the Germans in columns four deep
rushed from their trenches only to
melt away under the fire of the
French rs. $50 and 210 millimetre
guns which rained shells with deadly
accuracy into the marching com
panies. When the smoke and dust
cleared nothing was to be seen but
heaps of bodies.
The spur on which the fort is sit
uated is almost perpendicular in
places. The German lines were forced
to halt but many Bavarians climbed
up on one another's shoulder and
struggled up the slope, clinging to
angles of rock and grasping tufts of
grass Again and again these human
pyramids collapsed into shapeless gray
masses. In the places where the incline
was easier and the attacks therefore
more concentrated the bitches below
ran red with blood. At the lowest esti-
mate the attackers lost two-thirds of
their effectives.
French Outnumbered, to 4.
The fighting also was desperate
when the remnants of the fifteenth
and. eighteenth army corps attacked
the village of Vaux on Friday. Dawn
was just breaking and over the coun-
try hung a heavy white mist, making
everything invisible beyond hum
dred yards This enabled the Ger
mans to get within rushing distance of
the French trenches, but although
they outnumbered the French six to
one it took six distinct assaults before
Germans won the shelter of a small
group of houses beyond the church of
Vaux. They then organized an as
sault on the church and the French
being unable to bring up reinforce
ments on account of the German
curtain of fire, withdrew their ad-
vanced elements which were in dan
ger of being surrounded. Five times
the north Prussian regiments rushed
to attack the church but every time
they gained the shelter of the road
houses they were beaten back by the
fire of machine guns and shrapnel of
French So millimetre mountain guns.
| In the meantime in the rear a cur
tain of fire was kept up by the French
| 75's and 210's so that it was impos-
sible for munitions and achievements
to be brought up for their benefit
and the fight died down on Friday
night from sheer exhaustion.

 GALLOWAY GLEANINGS.

The notes of the Galloway gleaner have been few and far between of late, but under the dark clouds and heavy rains we could find nothing to glean. Everything has at last frightened up and the whole country side busy with farm work. Not a man or a mule is idle. It looks a little as if spring will be on us soon and there is general re- joicing.
 Our planters will diversity exten- sively this season. They all seem full ly alive to every improvement. Just now the tractor engine is attracting much attention and it will not be long until many of the farmers will own them
 All the schools of the different dis tricts are doing well. The Galloway school had a patriotic recital Tuesday in honor of George Washington. We are sorry indeed MT. Small will give up his interest in The Pulaskian. He is ever alive to the welfare of people and communities. We wish him suc- cess in his present enterprise We welcome, however, our new editors, and feel assured they will keep up the good work already begun on The Pulaskian.
