aISC the Allies 4lueSg nc AdLIs4 what the cost in lives amounts to.
 Paris, Feb. 29-That this city is the objective of the mighty often siYe iuaugurated by the Germans on the western front is believed true. It is known that the Ger man crown prince has been rein forced by several of the finest yet erau German corps. There is no eff tort to be spared to capture Toul Belmont or Yerdun.
 At the beginning of the battle a week ago the French war office es- timated that 2SO,OOO Germans were under the immediate command of the Crown Prince and engaged in the attack. Though thousands have been sacrificed every hour during the severe fighting, which has continued necessarily except for two days when a heavy snowfall checked operations, his army is larger now than when the battle began, endorsements of nearly half a million having been brought up.
 The war office estimates that the French have lost nearly 100000 men in the weeks fighting and the German loss has been much heavier

Makers Of moving pictures, convened at Chi
cago, express much indignation that any effort
should be made by the authorities to curb their
activities. One speaker Indignantly calls atten-
ton to the fact that in the art galleries hang
many pictures that are not approved Of by the
prudsh. This is true, but the fact should not be
pleaded in extenuaton Of offenses elsewhere com
mitted against decency in the name Of art It is
unfortunately true that the Topographic or mere
tricious play, in drama or film, draws most lib
orally from the public, because people, variously
moved by curiosity or lbidinous instinct will
press to see such scenes. To prohibit these 10

Mans Contest with Time.

Where 1t began none can say. for no records
go back far enough to tell Of the first race man
won. 1t is quite likely his first burst of real speed
was engendered by deyhto escape from some
antediluvian monster. The faculty thus developed
led him to trials with his fellows, and from this to
the setting up and knocking over of records was
quite an easy step. Equally as natural and as
easy was the impulse to test his various methods
Of artificial locomoton for speed qualities, that
he might defy time and annihilate distance. This
ambition has for the time found its elimination in
the racing automobile, a rare combination Of
power and facility made possible by the inventive
genius Of the enlightened man Of this day. Omaha
has had some rare exhibitions Of this ability to
telescope time and distance till they seem as one,
the last few days providing some thrills as we'll
as some records Faster than III miles an hour
was the speed engendered by one of the skilled
and daring drivers on the track while new FIVE
mile and twenty hve-mile records were estab-
lished. Foolhardy these are, perhaps, and of a
quality that makes the sober-minded citizen gasp,
but these ventures are the continuation Of that
FIRST race, when man fed for safety and in all hu-
man probability will go on until he realizes his
ambition and some lusty athlete does "the hun
bred in nothing fiat" s.'.,s.-'

Reading, and Real Wisdom.

OF John H. Clarke, nominated BY President
Wilson to succeed Judge Hughes on the bench Of
the supreme court Of the United States It is writ
ten; He is q bachelor, and has devoted most
Of the leisure hours Of his life to reading" This
is an earnest that he has mind well stored with
useful knowledge, as we'll as complete grasp Of
the more elegant things that are set down in print
these days Reading maketh full man." now
as ever, and no man who Is not widely and deeply
read may lay claim to that scope Of understand
ing, profundity Of knowledge and soundness Of
judgment essential to determining the right. But
is this sure precursor Of wisdomi knowledge
comes, but wisdom fingers" says the poet, "and
he bears laden breast, full OF sad experience"
Knowledge may be gained through reading; it
consists Of learning and often takes the form Of
an unwieidy and sometimes uncorreated mass OF
information. Wisdom is not gained by studious
application alone, 1t comes through experience
gained by daily association with the world The
sage must know not only the books in his library,
but the ways of man as we'll, He must read the
book that is not printed on a press, and under
stand it. too, or he has not attained to real wis
dom. The judge may be learned in the law full
OF wise saws and ancient precedents,' but he must
also have the human quality that can not be ac-
CURED in the study, or he will lack something. For
the law is coming to partake Of humanity, and
will more and more be tinctured BY the favor
OF mans relations to man, and less of abstract
theory, until Sweet reasonableness is established
in all its gentle sway. II is not enough to have
spent leisure hours in reading, for "the proper
study of mankind is man."
