GERMANS EVERYWHERE REFUSED
 ON BROKEN HINDENBERG LINE

British Headquarters in France, May 4EThe Germans made desperate counter attacks throughout the entire British yesterday, but were every where repulsed.
 The latest reports from the battle front show that the Hindenburg line was pierced both northwest and south east of Bullecourt for long distances TEe Germans bitterly defended these strong points and attempted several times to retake them, but once the British were in the deep trenches they held on. The men fought so steadily that there was no time for food.

Soldiers and Workmen Par ticipate in Demonstration Outside Palace at Petro-' grad-Banners Inscribed "Down With Mulikoff"I Are Displayed.
Press of the Capital De-
 clares that United Gov ernment is Responsible for Statement of Views of Foreign Minister-Wor men and Soldiers to Meet.

Petrograd, May Detach- ments of soldiers have gathered in front of the palace, which is used as the headquarters of the Z provisional government, carry, ing red flags with inscriptions i demanding the resignation of Foreign Minister Milukoff.
 After extended conferences between the executive committee of the work ! ingmen's and soldiers delegates and the council of the provisional govern ment the executive committee decided that no reason was apparent for de- manding the resignation of the gov-i ernment. The soldiers engaged in the i demonstrations were persuaded byi the committee to return to their bar racks.
 The resignation of M. Milukof was demanded by thousands of soldiers and workmen who marched the streets yesterday afternoon and last evening bearing banners inscribed Down with Milukoff'' Discomfort has been smouldering for some time on account of the belief that the minister was not fully in sympathy with the viewpoint of the Workmen and soldiers. The present outbreak which began yesterday, was a, direct result of the announcement made by the foreign office to the Allied nations to the effect that Russia would not slacken her effort in the common struggle against the Central powers and would observe strictly her en- gagements with her allies. The workmen and soldiers declare that IA . y.-
 fore this communication was sent.
 All yesterday afternoon crowds gathered in groups in the public squares, listening to the exhortations of impromptu orators. Workmen on leaving the factories in the evening paraded the streets carving red flags
 At meeting of the council of sol-
 diers and workmen's delegates the formation of a coalition cabinet was favored. Later the executive com-
 mittee of the council attended 8 nneet-i Ing of the council of the provisional
 government
 There were also demonstrations, last
 evening in favor of the government.
 M Rodzianko, president of the duma,
 exhorted the people to continue the war until the attainment of victory worthy of the Russian people. London, May IA Retrograd dis- patch says that the Novate Zhizn. the organ of the social democrats, and other extreme Russo newspapers, ser vereIy criticise Foreign Secretary Mi- 'lukoff's note to the Allies asserting

THE VALUE OF LIFE.

The old Jewish singer cried out,
81 shall not die, but shall live and
tell of the works of God" TO tell
Of the works Of God, to tell OF
them in admiration, reverence and
awe, was the prime purpose OF his
life. It gave life meaning and val
ue.
Praising the works of God, con-
templating and admiring the divine
aspect of life and the world, and
shaping ones ideals and directing
ones strivings accordingly
not that constitute life's real value?
The mere animal life of man is
purposeless. But to harmonic his
life and his aspirations with the d.
vine plan and the divine law OF the
world, in so far as it is given him to
understand this plan and to d1scov-
er this law, is to give life its SUI
preme value.

SEES DOOM OF GOLDEN LOCKS
Statlstleian Predicts Extinction of
Fair-Haired Women, as Species,
Within Next Two Centuries.

It is gravely announced that the
bright glory of blond hair, locks of
pale spun gold, such as the LOrelei
cOmbed with her golden comb, are
doomed to disappear entirely. A sta
tistician has figured the whole matter
out, and he issues a solemn warning
that in two pitiful centuries the poets
(who will still be poets nevertheless)
must cease to sing of blessed damosels
with hair like ripe corn, except, of
course, retrOspectively, or paying tri-
butte knowingly to a triumph of the
chemists art.
The reason for the diminution Of the
number of fair women, the final ex-
tinction of the species, is given By the
statistician with the solemnity proper.
ly belonging to his profession and
province, says the New York Evening
Post. 1t is that blonds have been OBJ
served to be less inclined to marriage
than their darker sisters. They are
thus cOndemning themselves to the
fate which must little by little over
lake them and rob the world of some
thing the world would not willingly be
bereft Of.
For the benefit of those who are
admirers Of white horses it may be
added that red hair does not count as
blond. 1t is sui generis, and has stay
ing qualities as notable as that of the
brunette type.

BEETLE is ~GRAvE DIGGER"
Insects Which Are "Undertakers" Of
Animal World Scent Dead Bodies
at a Great Distance.

When an animal dies in a garden or
In the woods and decomposition be-
gins, carrion bugs come from far and
near. A dead bird, mouse or harm
less snake wantonly killed by some
wanderer provides banquet for hun
dreds of insects. Among these the
"grave dlggers" are found, embracing
43 species, ~ Of which are found In
Europe, the rest in America.
You can identify these beetles, says
Popular Science, by the two jagged
yellOwish red or reddish transverse
bands upon their black wing covers.
Their scientific names (Necrophorus)
means no more than curriers' of the
dead" AS undertakers, the insects
have legs especially adapted for dig
ging.
A grave-digger beetle has a most ex-
traordinary sense of smell. He can
detect the peculiar odor of decomposl-
ton long distance away and flies to
the dead thing as straight as an ar
row. His remarkably keen nose is
situated In his club like feelers.
AS a rule several grave diggers are
found near dead body. They crawl
under 1t and scratch the supporting
earth away, so that the body soon lies
in a hollow. Gradually the body is
lowered until it sinks below the sur
face. Then it is covered with earth.
The female lays her eggs around the
inferred form, thus insuring for the
newly hatched larvae plentiful food
supply.

his grlevance-this time more reason
ably, retracting u little. But under
her continued silence he grew weak

her apparent calm was broken. Then,

him to go away, if he had any mercy

her.

The Value of Biography.

1t is not only commanded by an
cient practice to celebrate the memory
of great and worthy men, as the best
thanks which posterity can pay them,
but all the examples of virtue are Of
more vigor when they are thus con-
tracted into individuals. AS the sun
beams, united in burning glass to a
point, have greater force than when
they are darted from plain supertcies,
so the virtues and actions of man
drawn together in a single story,
strike upon our minds stronger and
more lively impression than the scat
tered relations Of many men, and many
actions; and by the same means that
they give us pleasure, they afford us
profit, too and as the reader
is more concerned at one mans for
tune than those of many, so the writer,
likewise, is more capable Of making
perfect work if he cOnfine himself to
this narrower compass.-Dryden.

Joke on Mother.

Returning home one afternoon, little
Richards mother found him apparent
ly in great pain. Careful questioning
failed to disclose the cause of the
lads suffering. Previous experience
told the mother that Richard probably
was in need of that oil so unpopular
with children, and she proceeded to
administer a generous portion despite
the crying resistance of Richard. A
few minutes later the boy appeared,
apparently in great glee.
1--WE got a joke on mOther-Ive got
a joke on mother" he cried.
Members of the family were curious,
of course.
Mother thought 1 was sick and
gave me oil, but l got the tOothache,"
he exclaimed between laughs.
Richards earlier reticence was due
to dread of the dentists chair.-ln-
