offer of peace by negotiation. Now. almost imm ediately following the Pope's peace proposals, the supposed ly decimated French armies are upon the offensive on the same field.
 Petain's drive was preceded by a week of most violent bonn bardment during which the Germans frequently expressed anxiety as to the French concentration of artillery In the final twenty-four hours before daybreak the "seventy -fives," naval guns and huge howitzers combined in a storm of cannonade which eliminated in drumfire.
 In a dispatch from Bar-le-Duc the Paris Temps" thus describes the battle:
 The last phase of the artillery preparation for the French attack in the Verdun region ended at 4:4O o'clock this morning. Our troops as- saulted between Avocourt Wood and Bezonvaux By 6 o'clock our first objective had been attained and Ger man prisoners were going to the rear.
 Inferno of Artillery.
 ''No adjectivea can give an idea of the internal action of the artillery,
 
 Dead Man Hill and Talou Ridge were ploughed up completely by our fire The enemy was obliged to abandon his first line, but our atta cking columns with undiminished spirit. passed from trench to trench, reducing all living com batants to submission.
 "Our aviators signalled our ad- vance. It was tragic and overwhelm- ing"
 Throughout the attack French f1iers fulfilled the function of mount ed infantry, sweeping low over the trenches, spraying the enemy with machine gun bullets, bombing his re- serves and meeting the hostile count CT thrusts with bursts of gunfire. Ger man aviators also entered the battle reckleSSly, and eleven of them went down in air fights, two more being brought down in flames by special guns.
 The intrepid French foot soldiers executed the attack with their usual dash, and Paris officially pronounces their spirit "beyond all praise" As soon as they had won their objectives they settled down to receive the in- evitable counter attacks which came imm ediately, the Germans smashing with special vigor against Avocourt Wood, Dead Man Hill and Hill BOA but without accomplishing anything. The hostile reactions were not so vic lent on the right bank of the river and the French were able to make further progress in the BOis de F'usse and the Bois de Chaune.

DOPE TENDS ANGEL
 IS ARRESTED AGAIN
Police Raid Office Of Dr. Gardner,
 Caught Last Week

New York, Aug. 21.-For the sec- ond time in the past four days, United States internal revenue agents, under the lead of Richard Yancey, Jr. raided the offices of Dr. Edward F.. Gardner at No. 245 West F'ifty-first street last night and arrested the physician on the charge of violating the Federal Anti-Narcot1c law.
 United States Marshal Mccarthy and Assistant United States Attorney Stanton took part in the raid. While Dr. Gardner, who had been at large in $1O,OOO bail since last Saturday, was being taken to the West Forty seventh street police station the raid CTS camped on the prisoners prem ises and questioned the dope fends' who kept filing in, most of them ac- tors, gamblers, chorus girls chauf- feurs and professional men. The scenes of the previous raid, Friday, were re-enacted, some of the addicts weeping and begging for their dope, others storming and cursing as if they were demented. Several as- serted Dr. Gardner was curing them of the drug habit and ought not to be interfered with Some of the pa tients came in autom obiles.
 Marshal Mccarthy "frisked' all the male callers in search of registration cards. A score of young men de- clared they had left their cards at home. The raiders took the names and addresses given by 100 or more persons.
 David Kaplan, an east side drug gist, who had been out on bail for week on a charge of unlawful mor- phine selling, was re-arrested yester- day on a similar charge and was held by Commissioner Hitchcock.
 Dr. Howard James. arrested last week, accused of dispensing narcotic drugs, collapsed yesterday in Belle vue hospital. The doctors said his condition was due to being deprived of morphine.

 ''The call of the hour is sacrifice: let it begin with that self-restraint which makes the lower passions slaves and Reason master. Let the soldier be persuaded that virtue IS the blood of heroes. sin is the virus of towards. There are dangers to the youth of our country more to be dreded than the shrieking shrap- mel; worse than the most malignant disease of the body is the Wound1ng of the soul. Foolhardiness is folly, not bravery. Seeing the point from which the attack is liable to come and taking precautions accordingly, IS good military tactics. Removed from the influence of home and far from the restraints of friendly counsel there will be great danger to the morals of the soldier. It will lurk in the vicinity of camps and skulk Tn the rear of the trenches. strong drink and the wiles of corrupt women may rob him of honor and his coun- try of a loyal defender.
 Honor, pride, self-confidence go down easily before persistent attacks of sensuality; the noblest aspirations of the soul are needed to save the SOL dier from himself. The constant sense of the presence of God and the am- bition of an enternal reward are his only defense. Faith will animate and elevate manliness, religion will 1n- tensify and consecrate patriotism, the youth of clean mind and fervent soul will bring honor to the cause he was sent to defend; in time of danger there will be no flinching; not brutal instinct but patriotism nerves his arm; no fears no danger in whom the fear of God is uppermost.
 America calls her loyal sons to service. As in days past she will un- doubtedly be cheered by the ready and hearty response of the bravest and the best. Some of her defendera will fall on the field of honor; many will returned hardened with toil chastened by suffering, perhaps with limbs mutilated in the cruel strife. but intact, let us hope, in those vir- tues which go to make up verile manhood and an unconquerable na- tion."

In the civil war a certain patriotic young man quietly enlisted when the call for volunteers came in '61. He was so anxious to serve that he thought of nothing but the army. He let domestic and civil affairs take care of themselves for his post was on the field of honor. In the hurry and scur- ry of the first days of the war the record of his enlistment was lost. His friends at home also enlisted and dur ing the war his father joined his mother in the cemetery on the-hill
 And people amid their own troubles and cares forgot the young man who had enlisted early in the war The war ended and the young patriot came home. There was a great welcome in

progress in his home town for the returning heroes. But somehow no one remembered the young patriot for there was no record of his enlistment The patriot was a virtual outcast for none knew him after four long years. Completely discouraged, he left his home town to seek some solitude and forget his misfortunes. To the day Of his death he was given none of the credit he deserved.

COLONIAL EXPRESS BUMPED.
Eleven Passengers Injured Through
 Negligence of Motorman.

New York, Aug. 21.-Eleven pas sengers on the Colonial Express, operated by the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford and Pennsylvania railroads, were injured yesterday when an electric locomotive ran into the train with great force after the steam locomotive ran into the train with great force after the steam loco- motive had been detached in the Sun nyside yards, near Long Island City, so that the coaches could be brought into the Pennsylvania station through the East River tunnels. It was the first accident on the New York Con- meeting railroad since the hump back bridge across Hell Gate was put into operation in April, so that trains running between Washington and Boston might be brought into the Pennsylvania station on Manhattan. Island, and an investigation was or dered at once.
 After the train of ten coaches had crossed the bridge at o'clock it was left standing in the Sunnyside yards so that an electric locomo otive might pick it up and pull it through the tubes to the station. After wait of a few minutes the electric locomotive approached at high speed. Apparent ly misunderstanding the signals given him or misjudging the speed of his motor, J. J. Graham, the motorman failed to slow up enough to avoid crash with the train. The electric locomotive struck with such force that the platforms and vestibules of the three forward cars were so badly damages that new coaches had to be put into the train. Electric light globes and glass fixtures in all the coaches were broken, and 100 pas sengers were thrown from their seats.

THE YOUNG MEN OF AMERICA.'

An interview with the Right Rev.
 erend John J. Milan, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Hartford of the Roman Catholic church.
 The Right Reverend John J. Milan, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Hart ford of the Roman Catholic church states that "All authority is from God, submission to lawful superiors is obedience to His Will" and that the fate of the country rests upon : the loyalty of it's citizens, the Com | mander-in-Chief summons the nation 1 to war" This Is one of the series of ''Made-in-Co War Inter- views," secured by the Connecticut State Council of Defense. Bishop Mi lan's call to manhood, morality, coun- try and faith at this hour is thus eX- pressed:
 'The call of the hour to the young men of America comes from the highest authority. AS all authority is from God submission to lawful su- periors is obedience to His will. The chief magistrate of the republic is such by the choice of the people but so marked is the distinction between the man and the office, it would seem that in times of great crises his party affiliation, his personality, his very name should be forgotten; he is The President. The hour is fraught with grave possibilities, the die is cast, the fate of the country rests upon the loyalty of its citizens, the Commander in-Chief summons the nation to war;
 "The young and the vigorous nat cf ,111 hn ho R~cf fo 1,o to the summons and bravely, eagerly and with determination hasten to present a sturdy front to the foe. We may put the words of his illustrious predecessor of twenty years ago in the mouth of the president We love peace but when we go to war we send to the field the best and bravest of the country. The best are those whom the love of God compels to keep his law. Edmund Burke has said, I never knew man that was
