That the kaiser's dream of world
empire was shattered by the crown
princes failure at Verdun. is the opin-
ion now held by military experts. BY
a crushing blow at the center of the
French line the Germans hoped to
open a way into central France and
to Paris. The failure Of this plan has
been known to the world for many
months; but the fact that this failure
definitely ended Germany's age-long
dream is not SO generally known.
The fcrocious lunge of the kaiser's
troops at Paris ended on September
10, 1914 with their defeat at the
Marine. They had crossed Belgium
into France expressly to avoid con-
tact with the great French fortresscs
Of Nerdun, Toul, Epinal. Vesoul, and
Belfort on the French German bor-
der Baffled in their first drive and
finding themselves faced by a firmly
intrenched enomy. they began a Sc
ries of movements to try to turn the
anks of the allied armies. The last
Of 1914 witnessed furious attempts
by the Germans to turn the northern
end of the battle line in Flanders and
take Paris from the north. They
failed.
Finding the lines in the north un-
breakablc, the Germans turned their
attention upon the central part. OPP
posite the fortress of Metz, perhaps
the strongest place in the world, lies
NCrdun, the northernmost of the
French fortified towns. On September
II. 1914 the had broken the French
line between Nerdun and Toul. and
had occupied the town of ST. Mihiel
From this base they hoped to sur
round and force the French out of
Verdun. This done, they could take
all the other fortified places in the
rear up to the Swiss border, could
have approached Paris south of the
place of their defeat at the Marine, and
could have rendered untenable the
whole system of trench defenses IF
the French and British by attack ing
them in the rear. 1t would be costly
stroke, for General Petain in com
nand of Nerdun, had built a system
of trenches and mobile batteries about
Nerdun which were believed impreg-
nable. on February %, 1916, the
Germans, led by the crown prince, at
tackled.
After l. days of preliminary fight
ing, during the last of which the fir
ing of the cannon was as rapid as
the rolling Of snare drum, the Ger
mans closed in, From March until
the middle of July there was inces-
SAINT fighting. Two of the defending
forts, Douaumont and VauX, were
taken and retaken, the men fought and
died by the hundreds of thousands
but the French lines held and Verdun
did not fall. BY May it was known &c

RELIGIOUS Spirit
INCREASED SINCE
BEGINNING OF WAR
Remarkable Increase in the
Sale of Bibles Taken as
Evidence of Greater In
terest.

Washington, Sept. 15.-America's re-
lgious spirit has deepcned and in
creased since we went to war with
Germany
A canvass of Bible publishers rep
resentatives in Washington today
proved that since war was declared
the demand for Bibles has been aug
mented so enormously that Bible
printers despair of keeping up with
their orders.
Statistics show that there already
exist orders enough to supply every
one of the approximately two million
American soldiers and sailors now
abroad and about TO go abroad, with a
pocket edition of the new testament.
Singularly enough, the Bible is about
the only commodity that hasn't shot
skyward in price as Il result of in
creased market demands on account of
the war.
Pocket editions with khaki covers
are most in demand. They sell now,
as before the war. at 20 cents each.
Leather bound pocket editions sell for
the old price Of 10 cents.
Labor is scarce, some of our best
pressmen have gone to war, material
is higher and it is the vacation season."
said the representative of Il New York
publishing house here today, but we
are producing the books and keeping
the price within reason.
BIBLES WELL MADE.
Every set OF plates and every avail
able press in the country is being over
worked. Publishers are running their
presses is hours n day. and even then
we are way behind in our orders. Care
! Is taken, however, to see that every
Bible is well made for the boys SO it
viii stand hard usage.
| ut Is the biggest rush, for Bibles we
! have ever known"
The civilian population is turning to
the Bible too. There is an unprece-
dented demand for large, complete edi-
tons of the old and new testaments.
Pocket testament leagues have been
formed throughout the country. They
are seeking contributions of $3.50 from
every 100000 Of the population to pay
for the distribution of pocket edition
Bibles TO the men going to France
The American Bible society and the
Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania and other Bible societies are con-
centrating on the work of getting these
little Bibles to the men who want
them, and they all seem to want them
