man divisions were engaged In the
fighting on the front of attack and
that the greatest concentration Of ar
tillery in the worlds history was oper-
ating, gave the British public an idea
Of tho tremendous struggle on the west
front But nothing In the dispatches

claim which reached London late to-
night Of the capture Of 10000 prisoners

WHO WAS GOING TO BE BOSS
Ships officer Quickly Settled Arau-
ment Arising Between Naval
Ensign and Army Captain.

A lively incident brought to the
bridge by naval reserve men aboard
our ship illustrates ''the eternal tri-
angle" at sea that has as various
manifestations as the more generally
known "sex" triangle of literature
and home life, Nelson Collins writes
in the Century Magazine.
A rather self-conscious American
army captain in the course Of smok-
ing-room discussions had declared
he meant to take command of any
lifeboat he entered in the event of
the ship sinking. He was something
brother if he would submit to the
orders of any blamed ensign in the
naval reserve. An ensign reminded
him that he was at sea and that
sailor rules the waves. The captain
still insisted that army captains
never, never should be slaves to navy
ensigns. They carried their heated
discussion of it out to the deck, and
ran into a ships officer headed leis-
urely aft. He listened while they
submitted the point to him.
"Of course you gentlemen remem-
Der that you are on a merchant
ship" the officer summed the matter
up finally, "and that passengers"-
he looked with quiet keenness at both
the ensign and the army captain,
though the'keenness dwelt longest on
the captains flushed face-"that pas
sengers await orders before entering
a boat, and have only one duty after
they are in it, to sit and keep per-
fectly quiet. The ships officer, the
ships quartermaster, or the ships
able-bodied sailor who may be in
charge of the boat will look after it,
gentlemen. What's all the argument
about?"

to a rush to the recruiting offices.
1t is regarded as essential that men
greatly needed at home should be
prevented from rushing into the army
under a mistaken idea that they are
certain to be drafted anyhow and
prefer to join the service voluntarily.
1t was quite evident that plans for
applying the new draft age imita-
tons to the older men include a very
careful classification of each individ-
ual to determine his position at home
and probably a far more liberal con-
struction of industrial exemption
rules than has heretofore been the
case.

EARTH HAD MANY "lCE AGES"
Scientists Claim to Have Proved That
Glacial Periods Have Been Com
mon in Its History.

One often hears of ''the glacial
period" or "the ice age" of the earth,
but, strictly speaking, this express
sion is not correct. 1t is now estab-
lished beyond all reasonable doubt
that this planet has experienced not
one but a great many glacial periods,
says Popular Science Monthly.
Evidence has been found which
proves that the latest or Pleistocene
glacial epoch had several important
subdivisions and that all of the pres
ent continents have experienced gla-
cial epochs at different ages. Great
ice sheets were formed at different
periods back to the Proterozoic age;
that is, the age of the oldest known
sedimentary rocks, a great many mil
lion years ago. One of the most re-
cent discoveries of old glacial depos-
its was made by Prof. w. W. At
wood of the United States geological
survey near Ridgway, in southwest
ern Colorado. These deposits were
found beneath tertiary lavas of the
San Juan mountains and resting up
on Upper Cretaceous beds. They
have, it is believed, been formed in
early Eocene times.
