the great idea which the prophets OF
Israel announced will become real
some day when men will cease to
hate and begin to do justice.
1t is customary to remove all leav-
en- ont Of the household in prepara-
tion for the feast. Leaven is the
symbol Of the sordid, and refers to
those who are unemancipated from
the commonplace things. During
feast. only. matzoth and not bread,
are eaten. The distinctive spirit OF
the geast finds expression even in
the specific food.

account Of the oppression which the
ancient Israelites- endured. and In
more recent times in the midst OF the
unkind nations. The Haggndah also
includes special group OF psalms

medieval poems.
The Passover is the, most ancient
Of the Jewish holidays and perhaps
the most ancient of all holidays in
the history or religion. and no holi-
day is so near TO the truth Of human
life as 1t Is.
The favorite book for reading dur
ing the Passover week is the "Song
Of Songs" It is the most classical
song OF love in canonized literature
and Is read on this festival because,
according to the traditional view, It
bespeaks the love between God and
Israel.

MANY FRENCH CAPTURED
IN FIGHTING AT VERDUN
tsy ASSOCIATED passs,

BERLIN. April 11.-Since Feb
ruary 81, the Germans have cap
tured more than $4,000 French in the
fighting around Verdun, it was an
nounced Monday.
"West of the Meuse, about twenty
five square kilometers of ground has
been occupied" the announcement
says.
German newspapers point out
that the French now say that Beth
incourt was evacuated in accordance
with plans previously made. Never
theless it has been ascertained that
an order; was issued stating:
!" This Importance place must be
held in all circumstances
"The fact that more than 700
wounded French prisoners were
taken and that the French losses in
killed or wounded were far greater.
is proof that the French plan Of evac-
uation could not be carried out as
intended"

PARIS. April 11-on the west
bank of the Meuse the Germans
made an attack Monday night on
Dead Mans hill, advancing from
Corbeaux wood. They obtained a
footing In few small elements of
trenches. the war Office announced
Tuesday, but otherwise were repuls-
ed.
East of the Meuse the Germans at
tackled trenches south Of Douaumont
village. but were beaten back with
considerable losses. There was yio-
lent bombardment Of Douaumont
and Vaux.
The crown princes supreme effort
for the capture OF Verdun as the mil
itary observers characterize the op-
erations. which began on Sunday to
the west of the Meuse, is spending
itself against the stout and intelli-
gent defense OF the French.
The observers point out that when
the assailant realizes that he has
failed to attain his objective he in
variably delivers an extended assault
with great violence before lapsing
into normal trench warfare. Such
was the German attack during the
battle Of Ypres on November 10. five
days before the battle ended, and the
first French battle in Champagne on
March 1s, 1915, also closed with a
violent assault. In these operations
the assailants hope to surprise the
defenders by an unexpected effort
and wrest from him by taking him
unawares the reward Of their own
sacrifices. General Petain. the
French commander at yerdun. was
not caught mapping but foresaw the
possibility of such move and
Strengthened and strengthened his
line in anticipation Of 1t.
The battle continued but with a
perceptible dwindling Of its violence.
The French commanders plan is to
engage the least possible number Of
men SO as to retain the maximum
number of formation for the Interior
operations which are to be entered
upon at moment which he will con-
slider opportune and which will prob
ably be decided upon by him when
he considers that the Germans have
wasted all the men they are willing
to sacrifice.
Since The beginning of the battle
the Germans have employed thirty
two divisions, 1t is asserted, and 1t Is
impossible for them long to continue
their efforts on the present scale. A
radical change is looked for shortly.

SHOT MEANT LIFE OR DEATH
Salvation Of Arctic Exploring Party
Depended on Accurate Aim Of
One Man.

After they had existed on the bar
rem ice-bound Wrangel island for si1
months, the dozen survivors Of the i'll
fated Karluk Of Vilhjalmur Stefans-
sons arctic expedition, were rescued.
A small amount Of seal oil and few
fox carcasses were all that remained
of their food supply, writes Mr.. Burt
M. Mcconnell in Harper's Magazine.
Munro had only twelve cartridges left
with which to sustain himself and his
companions.
ION one OCCASION" said Munro,
after our food supply had become ex-
hausted and we were wondering. where
the next meal was coming from, saw
seal out on the Ice. I crept to
within hundred yards OF him be-
fore had to stop to steady my nerves.
My heart beat so loudly that thought
the seal must surely hear it.
while I was resting the thought
came to me, If you miss him. you will
starve'-for seals were very scarce,
and we had seen DO other game in
seven days.
Il crept to an advantageous posi-
ton, set the hair trigger of my rife,
and took deliberate aim. l think I
held the gun sights on the head of
that seal for at least two minutes, but
my hand was too unsteady to make
my aim certain. l lay down on the
ice to regain my composure, but the
thought that If / waited too long the
seal might disappear would not allow
me to rest.
Il aimed again, but my nervousness
again frustrated my aim. I kept say
ing to myself through clenched teeth,
I'll get you!' and calling the seal all
sorts Of names. l was a cave man
for few moments. When had be-
come calmer, l fred. The seal gave
one shudder and lay still.
Il saw and killed only just one seal
after that: so the rescue party came
in the nick of time

1.-THE worst trouble about life pre-

few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many o
man would drown in trying to get q
life preseryer over his head. The av

water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put it over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.

Of the side nearest you and press upon

Artificial lndioo,

Artificial indigo owes much of its
commercial success to an accident. AL
though synthetic indigo was first pro-
duced in 1870, it did not become Sc
rious rival to the natural article IN
til a thermometer was accidentally
broken and the contents Of the bulb
ran into the heated mixture of naph-
thalene that was all too slowly being
converted into phtbalic acid. the basis
Of artificial indigo 1t was then OBJ
served that the conversion became
much more rapid. and from that day
the use of mercury has played a bic
part in making artificial indigo com
nercial success. The accident occur
red after years of patient research
and it is now the boast of chemists
that they are able to produce on II
commercial basis a compound exactly
the same" as natural indigo.-London
