Except for the front in France
where the British and French are op-
posing the Germans, there have been
only the usual outpost engagements
and bombardments.
Around Arras and near GinChy, the
British troops have carried out sue
Cessful raids against German posi-
ttons, according to London. In the
vicinity of Arras, the British struck
at two places and inflicted many cas-
ualties on the Germans, took forty
two prisoners and captured Il machine
gun. Prisoners also were taken near
Ginchy. Near BOuchavesnes, the Ger.
mans endeavored to wrest from the
British the positions captured Sunday,
but met with repulsc.

There has been considerable aerial
activity along the line in France. Lon
don reports that Sunday six hostile
machines were brought down, two
within the British lines. and that eight
ether were forced to descend damaged.
II is admitted, however, that the Cert
mans forced Gown two British ma
chimes and that five others failed to
return to their base. French airmen
and an anti-aircraft guns accounted
for three German airplancs Monday.
The weather on the Russian front
has again turned bitterly cold, imped-
ing operations there. Scouting par
ties continue active in Rumania, and
at various points artillery duelS are
in progress. There has been no change
in the situation in the AustrO-Italian
and Macedonian theaters. The re-
pulse of a small Turkish attack near
Kalkiit, IN Turkish Armenia, is re-
ported by Petrograd.

CONFER WITH WILSON

Washington March 5.--The Japan
ese ambassador, Aimaro Sato, has an
engagement to see President Wilson
tomorrow afternoon and although
neither the embassy nor the White
House has disclosed the reason for the
conference, it is thought probable
some formal assurance may be pre-
scented that Japan has no intention of
accepting the German suggestion for
a German -McXiCan-Jap alliance
to make war on the United States.
The ambassador already has made :
public denial that his government took
any hand in the move.

"Death Never Comes Too Soon, If

1t was Nathan Hale who said. u
regret that l have but one life to lose
for my countryH And it is Horace
that makes one of his heroes say: 1T
is sweet and glorious to die for ones
country" There have been many and
striking Illustrations of this in our
country's history. 1t is said that the
untimely fate Of Col. Owen Roberts,
who fell at Stone, was cause of uni
versal regret He was an infiexible
patriot, an excellent disciplinarian,
and enthusiast in pursuit of military
fame. His son, who was in the ac-
ton. hearing of his misfortune,
fastened to him. The expiring vet
eran perceiving in his countenance the
liveliest sorrow, addressed him with
great composure: 81 rejoice, my boy,
once again to see and to embrace you.
Receive this sword, which has never
been furnished by dishonOr, and let it
not be inactive while the liberty of
our country is endangered. Take my
last adieu, accept my blessings, and re-
turn to your duty"

and the Alliance and the Pallas he
was swooped down upon by the fiotil-
la under Captain Pearson which was
conveying a merchant feet. Jones
prepared to meet the enemy as best
he could. The British guns had long
range and Paul Jones determined to
fight close. He brought his ships up
to the enemy until the muzzles of his
guns came in contact with the enemy
ships. Then ensued one of the most
frenzied conflicts in the history of
naval battles, continuing from seven
to ten in the evening. Paul Jones'
position was desperate in the extreme.
His ship was so shattered that only
three guns remained effective, and he
then assailed the enemy with hand
grenadeS which falling into the
Scraps soon set her on fire. At
length her magazine blew up killing
all near it. Pearson commanded his
officers who wanted to surrender to
board the Richard which was also
now ablaze in several places. But
Jones and his men received them so
warmly that they retreated. Parsons
crew was killed, his guns unmounted
and his ship on fire and there was moth
ing else TO 90 but surrender.
