ARISTIDE BRAND.

Aristide BRAND, former premier of
France and minister of justice in the
Viviani war cabinet of the republic,
will be Sc years old tomorrow, having
been born at Nantes in March IS,
1852. He began his political career
as a socialist. and was elected to the
Chamber of Deputies. In the former
Clemenceau cabinet he was minister
of justice and public worship. In
1909 he became l,-emier and as head
of the French government acquired
a worldwide reputation for states
manship. AS the leader in the move
ment for the separation of church
and state he offended the Catholics,
but he handled the difficult question
with such tact that he has long ago
been forgiven. NJ. BRAND made sew
eral visits to the front line trenches
and has been under fire.
Before the war NJ. BRAND was the
leader of a new political faction in
France, composed of conservative
republicans, in opposition to the rad
ica1 government and the socialism of
Jaures. When the war broke out NJ.
BRAND Immediately buried the po-
Iitica1 Ratchet and Joined in the gov
eminent which now represents all
French political parties and factions.
BRAND comes from a family of hum
BILE position in life. He is no longer
an avowed socialist, although he still
holds to many of the principles OF
that party. His firm stand in the
great railway strike of 1910 brought
down upon him the disapproval and
-denunciation of his former socialist
comrades He is one of the ablest
speakers in France. He has twice
held the post of premier first in 1909
and again at the beginning of Presi-
dent Poincare's administration.

INTERNATIONAL
EGG CONTEST

As was predicted in the last report
in this column, the hens in the lay
ing contest at Storrs are now laying
more than 1000 egs a week In the
twentieth week they produced Ally
or a yield of 5S.9 per cent Every
pen~that made a bid for special men
ton was obliged to share the henors
wits some other pen. Two Massachu-
sets pens, namely; John c. Phillips
Barred Rocks from Wenham and
sChas. Il. Lanes Rhode Island Reds
from .Southboro tied for first place
with a yield Of SIS eggs each. Rich
ard Aliens Barred Rocks from Pitts
field, Mass, and A P. Robinson
Ieghorns from Calverton, N. Y, tied
for second place with So egs each.
Ingleside Farms Barred Rocks from
.Paleuzlle, N. Y, Richard Aliens Reds
from Pittsfield, Mass, and George
Phillips Ieghorns from Seymour,
Conn, all tied for third place with So
egs each. "A pen of Barred Rocks
and a pen of White Wyandottes both
from New York state, a New Hamp-
shire pen of Buff Wyandottes and
one of the pens of English Leghorns
all tied with so eggs each.
During the season of high egg
yields it is expected by poultrymen
that there will, of course be more OF
soft shelled eggs, more inverted owl
ducts. more eggs with blood spots, and
other accidents, so to speak of this
sort. There is apparently no remedy
for blood spots. The only thing thai
can be done to protect the housewife
is Gambling either by the producer, the
groceryman, or the egg man before
the eggs are finally delivered to the
consumer. In general about 2 pei
cent. of newly laid eggs will contain
blood spots. In other words if the
eggs are not tested the housewife neet
not be surprised at getting on the
average one egg out of each four doz
en- that contain a drop or two of blood
The explanation is simply this; the en-
velope which encloses the yolk Will
it is attached to the ovary sometime
splits a little prematurely, in which
case there is a tiny hemorrhage, jus
a drop orrtwo of blood that goes aloni
with the yolk and is enclosed in tn
shell.

OUT MANY ASPIRANTS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The Georgia po-
litical Situation took a new and in
teresting turn Saturday, when con-
frmation by Governor Hugh Dorsey
of reports that he may not offer for
reelection furnished a choice topic
for discussion in political circles.
The governor said he would issue
a statement within a week announc-
ing whether he would seek another
term. He said the duties of the office
require so much Of his time that it
is almost impossible for him to spend
any time with his family.
Financial Loss.
"The office also involves a financial
sacrifice" he said. eff l follow my
present inclination l will retire and
go back to my law practice. | have
consulted with a number of my
friends, who appreciate the fact that
the expense of being governor is
| greater than the salary of the Office
and they agree with me-"
! The governor left the unmistak.
able impression that he does not in.
tend offering again for the Office he
now holds.

prominent Georgians were being

GERMAN ADVANCE
IS LOOSING SPEED
ARMY EXPERTS SAY SITUATION
is STILL SERIOUS, HOWEVER.
AMERICANS GOING. TO FRONT.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Members
of the senate military committee at
their weekly conference today with
war department officials were told
by General March, acting chief Of
staff, that opinion here is that the
Germans have reached their present
bjective-the Marne-and that they
probably will dig in and prepare for
a later drive, perhaps on Paris.
With the Germans within fOrty-five
miles of Paris the situation, the SEN
ators were told, is serious. Military
experts here. they were advised, are
a unit in realizing the dangers con-
fronting the allies.
The senators were told that the
rapidity Of the Germans advance
was unexpected by virtually all allied
military experts. The territory dur
ing the last few days had been re-
garded as easily defended and a com
paratively small force had been left
to hold it.
Success of the enemy was ascribeG
by the war council largely to improv-
ed use of gas shells.
Present enemy successes and pros
pective renewal of the offensive, the
senators were informed, emphasizes
the necessity for urgent transporta-
ton of American forces abroad. The
schedule for shipment of men in May
was exceeded, the senators were told.
More than 100000 Americans were
sent. In June it is planned to send
even larger numbers with larger per-
centages of combatant troops.

SUMMARY OF EUROPEAN CA
BLES FROM BATTLEFRONTs

With their left wing touching the
Marine and their right line linking up
with the Picardy battle front at NOy-
on, the Germans in their new often
sive are hammering the allied line
westward apparently with the hope
of crushing in the scissors salient
and opening up the way to Paris by
way of the Marine and the Disc They
are reported to be using well on to-
ward three-quarters of a million men
in this effort.
They have advanced 20 miles since
the present offensive was begun.
The French have been impetuously
counter attacking and at some points
the enemy not only has failed to ad-
vance, but has been forced to give
ground.
This was notably the case imme-
diately to the south of Scissors,
where the enemy was thrown back
upon the Crise river, which turns in
almost north and south line through
the town.
Allies Hold 70 Rheims.
Rheims is still in allied hands and
in general there seems to have been
little change along the easCerly side
Of the new German salient.
Quiet prevails on the British front
except for artillery fire, which was
most notable east Of Amiens and in
the Albert region to the north.
London newspapers reflect anxiety
In the British capital over the mill
tary situation in the west, as develop.
ed by the new offensive. Stress is
laid on the assistance the American
forces are expected to give in restOr-
ing allied preponderance in numbers
and confidence in the final outcome
Is expressed.
Paris comment is, as has been the
case all along, more optimistic, the
military critics, while viewing the sit
uatlon as serious, regarding the indi-
cations as more reassuring.
American. Troops Reach Positions.
American troops are reaching use
full positions in the battle areas,
These troops display the most ardent
desire to share in the present great
battle with their European comrades.
Under fire that prevented bringing
up rations, owing to the lack of
trenches; subsisting on hard tack and
raw bacon; fighting day and night
that is how the Americans held Can
tigny for three days. The village has
now been in the Americans posses
sion several days and conditions are
rapidly improving.
For the first few days as fast as
the boys dug trenches they were
blown up by the Boche artillery
Then came repeated counter attacks
Communication trenches were dug
but were blown up. Rations and am.
munition began to run low. Machine
guns and rifles captured from this
Huns were used

In the meantime three platoon:

rear and carried up ammunition or

attacks or by artillery fire.

Clear, PeaChy Skin
Awaits Anyone Who
Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break
fast helps US look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry,
bright, alert-a good, clear skin and
natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. Ii
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands of
slckly, notwithstanding men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy
compleXions; instead of the multi
tudes of nerve wrecks" "rundowns,
brain Tags" and pessimists we
should see virile optimistic throng
OF rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass OF real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetenine and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
1ousneSS, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but trife, but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark
able change in both health and appear
| ance, awaiting those who practice in
ternal sanitation. We must remem-
! Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to con-
taminate the blood while the pores ia
the thirty feet of bowels do.
