 loans eyes have never left the ra- diant sword, which hangs suspended in midair. Back of the sword sud denly appears vision of St. Michael. who brings his hands down on the hilt and says: Prepare myself. Joan, for thou art to save France and the kingi''
 Then the vision fades from before Joan'S startled eyes. The voice of loans mother impatiently calling the girl reaches her as she sits fright e2ed and huddled where the vision left her. When Joan rinaily reaches her mother, Isambeau tells her that her father s late with the sheep and to go at once to the fields and help him. She scolds 'oan for her dreamy and abstracted manner and fears that her heretofore helpful daughter is losing her mind.
 Reaching her father in the woods where he is rounding up his sheen for the night, Joan explains that voices have commanded her to fight for her king and asks him fo take her to the soldiers. Misunder- standing entirely, old Jacques apgrilv refuses, and in astonishment asks if she would become a "camp follow er!" AS Joan tries to explain.

Germans Say French Fail

BERLIN, (Nia London), April It. The French forces failed with heavy casualties to break through the Ger man line along the Aisne and did not renew their attack, says the war office statement this evening. On both sides of Auberive in Champagne hard fight ing was in progress throughout Tues day, says the statement.
 The text follows:
 After failure with heavy losses of the French attempt to break through our lines, they have renewed their attacks on the Aisne
 Tn Champagne bitter fighting pro- ceeded throughout the day on both sides of Auberive. On the other fronts there is nothing to report"
 The German official statement issued todav says:
 "One of the greatest battles of the mighty war and therefore also in the history of the world is in progress on the Aisne..
 Since April preparatory fire by the artillery and mine throwers has continued uninterruptedly. This fire was something unprecedented
 Early yesterday morning the French on a front of 40 kilometers launched with the object of breaking through a deep column attack from SOupir on the Aisne to Betheny. north of Rheims.
 During the afternoon the French threw fresh forces into the fray and carried out lateral attacks against our front between the Disc and Condo Sur Aisne. The artillery fight which was continued today leveled the positions and produced wide, deep craters ren- dering an obstinate defense no longer possible
 The fighting is no longer against line but over quite deep and irregu- lar fortified zone. The battle swayed backwards and forward around the foremost positions, our object being even if war material were lost to spare the lives of our forces and inflict heavy losses upon the enemy. This was achieved, thanks to splended leadership and the heroic bravery of our troops.
 The great French attempt to break through yesterday, the object of which was far reaching, failed. The san guinary losses Of the enemy were heavy and more than 2,l00 prisoners remained in our hands,

 Farther east a spirited action en- abled us to capture the village of Au- berive and a powerfully fortified sal tent formed by the German line around that village on front of three kilo- meters. The number of prisoners talk en by us on this part of the front ex- ceeded 2,500
 About 3:30 o'clock this afternoon a strong enemy counter attack near Hurtebise farm (west of Craonne) was repulsed. Another violent attempt in the sector of Courcy, occupied by the Russian troops, likewise failed.
 According to latest reports our troops in the battle of April IS. be- tween Soissons and Rheims overthrow very important German forces. In eX- pectation of our attack the enemy had brought in 19 divisions.
 "The losses suffered by the Germans were considerable not only in the bat tie but on the preceding days. On the eve of the attack an enemy division while engaged in going to the relief of a neighboring division, lost under the violence of our artillery fire the greater part of it's effectiveness. The number of unwounded prsoners taken by us us yesterday between Soissons and Rheims has reached total of II 900.
