and sprayed an opening in the breastworks
with machine-gun fire. the bullets splash

The five Congressman, who frankly ad-
mitted after they had emerged unharmed
from the Boche fire that it was just plain
luck that saved them. were Representatives
Dill, Johnson, Miller, Timberlake and Hicks.
With Representatives Goodwin. Bale,
Taylor, stephens and Carter these five
were being shown trenches south of Dix

remainder of tho party at cne point and
slipped into lines baro thirty yards from
the Germans. Enemy watchfulness cen
tered from a gap in the breastworks of the
lines here-breastworks being made neces-
sary at this point because of the floods.
When the Americans got to this point
they were greeted with perfect fury of
machine-gun fire. The bullets spat Wickedly
all about their heads. Then German bat

FRENCH SCULPTOR,
RODlN, Is DEAD
Became Foremost in His
Craft After Fifty Years
of Ridicule
LIFE A BITTER STRUGGLE

PARIS. Nov. II.
Auguste Rodin. Frances great sculptor.
died early today.
The seventy-seven-year-old sculptor had
been Ill for only brief time OF congestion
of tho lungs. He was married for a second
time only a few months ago.
Auguste Rodn was born In Paris In 1s4o.
For fifty years he struggled against abuse.
rdiculc and poverty before he was finally
recognized as tho foremost sculptor of the
age.
When he arrived at the age OF seventy
seven he was still plying his art, but under
very different circumstances from those he
was experiencing when he was first rec
ognlzed.
In the pavilion of the eighteenth century
Hotel Biron. which stands near the famous
Hotel des lnvaldes. the French Government
installed him In all the splendor that was
possible Surrounded by his pupils. he
daily gave instruction on modelling and
stone sculpture. He was known as the
grand old man of France and beloved
by all.
His early life was spent In tho studios
about Paris. where as a boy he struggled
TO learn the art of sculpture. He began to
attract some attention, but did not sue
ceed in gaining any particular distinction.
He left for Brussels, where he became the
pupil of tho great Belgian sculptor. Van
Rasbourg.
Returning TO Paris, he continued the
struggle for recognition, but failed until
1880 when his John the Baptist" turned
the tide of public opinion in his favor.
From that time on he began TO be much
sought after. Ho was quick workman
and often did his pieces In "a few hours.
This brought him to the attention Of the
French Government, which decorated hin,
and purchased his age Of Bronze" for the
Luxembourg.
Upon the death Of whistler. Rodin was
made president of the International Society
of Painters, Sculptor and Gravers
Rodin married when he was twenty
three years old. and his wife was respon-
sible for his success as she cheered him on
and acted as his model when lie was toe
poor to afford one. Upon her death Inc
paid high tribute TO her and referred tc
her as my comrade."
Some of his best known works In this
country Is the collection owned by Thomas

HEART OF CITY FACES
SERIOUS WATER FAMINE
Investigation Discloses Need of
Modern System-Private
Pumps in Operation

The heart OF the city is facing a serious
water shortage, according to an investIga-
tion made by the Chestnut Street Business
Mems Association.
Unless Immediate steps are taken by
municipal authorities to install a modern
supply system in the territory bounded by
Market, Broad. Pine and Sixth streets. a
loss OF thousands of dollars and great in
convenience may result.
Announcement was made that more than
los stores have been forced TO operate
private pumps In order to keep up their
necessary water supply. Lack of funds ,s
given as the excuse of the Water Bureau.
According TO the investigators II would
take at least two years from the time OF
the start of actual construction on new
system TO bring the plant up TO the desired
degree for fuure requirements.
