GERMAN LOSSES $4,000.
Spring Offensive Cuts Big Hole
ka!ser's Armies,

kaiser's Armies.
French Front June 25.-Severe in
roads have been made on the strength
of the German troops holding the line
on the Franco British front during the
attacks delivered on them in the
months of April. May and June An
estimate made on well established av-
erages demonstrates that their losses
must approximate $4,000 men.
Before the spring operations of tIe
French and British began the German
front had been divided into two sectors
entirely independent of each other. One
faced the French between the Disc and
the Swiss frontier and was under the
command of the crown PRINCE. The
other confronted the British from the
North sea to the Disc and was COM
manded by the Bavarian crown prince
At the beginning of the Franco Brit
ish offensives the Germans had at their
disposal on the whole front stretching
from the North sea to Switzerland l4'
divisions, of which 105 were actually
in the front line and AZ In the rear
ready for employment at any point
where their help was needed
The situation on the Russian front
permitted the Germans to detach some
of their active divisions from that size
and at the same time they formed sew
eral new divisions, which they brought
to the French front, so that on June
20 the number OF their divisions facing
the French and British was 155.
The strength Of the German forces on
the Franco British front can not how
ever, be calculated exactly from the
number Of their divisions, for no FEWER
than 112 Of the 1855 have been thrown
into the battles at various times, and
twenty three Of them have been twice
engaged, thus totaling in reality 135
divisions which have been in action.
AS a general rule a. division Is not
Withdrawn from the fighting line until
It has lost one-third OF its efrectives.
A German division nowadays when az
full strength numbers approximately
5oo ,nfantrymen. Therefore the 1875
divisions which have passed thru the
fro have in all probability each lost
| 2 ZOO killed, wounded, and prisoners,
making in all 3F,50O casualties IN the
Infantry alone in less than three
months, without regard to the losses
among the artillery, engineers, ana
other service troops.
Some of the German divisions oave
| had to be withdrawn after only two
days' fighting on account Of their
losses, others after from four to si1
DAYS. and still others only after fifteen
DAYS or even a month. During quiet
| periods, such as now, division may
remain az long as six or seven weeks
in a front sector without relief.
One peculiar feature noticed on TINS
rront ia that tho German divisions
brought back from Russia have never
| been sent into the first line without go
,ng thru a fresh course Of training, az
It wa. found the troops had lost mucn
| Of their dash.

uo,x "a KIN Poison Ivy.

The cheapest and most enectlVe
method of eliminating poison IVY &C.
cording to experts Of the department OF
agriculture, is the simple one OF roofing
IN the plants and destroying them. II
the poison ivy is III iaIse feds may
be necessary to plow and cultivate tne
land. Ivy on large trees, stone Waiis
and buildings can be killed by arsenate
of soda, at the rate of two pounds TO
ron gallons of water. Two or three
applications are sufficient.
The fall Of the year Is the safest
time to handle poison ivy. because at
that time the sap and pollen are out OF
the plant. With the exercise OF due
care, the use Of overalls and gauntleted
gloves will enable most individuals to
deal with the plant without danger. A

airgun and a lasoo-these being sent
by a sport loving uncle who knew the
youths proclivities.
Shortly after breakfast Willie's
mother heard a crash in the greenhouse
at the foot of the garden and went to
investigate. On the way she passed q
few uprooted bushes and flower bed
trampled out Of recognition, and In the
greenhouse itself many loosened flower
pots. Following the trail. she found
Willie hiding behind a tree stump.
What are you doing, Willie?" she
cried in Mortified tones. -
Looking for redskins" replied the
youngster.
With grim look she took Willie by
the ear and led him indoors.
Looking for red skins!" she repeat
ed ominously. as she took up cane.
"Well, PHI give you one"
