French Evacuate carIepont Wood.

Berlin, June 13-The French have
evacuated Carlepont wood ON the east
bank of the Disc, according to the an
nouncement by general headquarters.
and the Germans are making advances
along this important line.
The statement reads:
Army Of the German crown prince:
The hard fighting army of General Won
Hutier repulsed an expected counter
attack for the recapture of group of
hills southwest of Noyon, which was
carried out in strength by several
French divisions. The enemy was
thrown back on the whole OF the front
from Leployron to- Antheuil, with the
heaviest losses His armored cars,
which were brought into action In
great numbers, are lying shot to pieces
on the battlefield.
Between Merry and Belloy, where
the enemy's assault was shattered by
n counter attack, bitter fighting lasted
until nightfall. The west bank OF the
Oise north of the point where Natz
runs into 1t. has been cleared of the
enemy.
1.-THE number of prisoners brought In
by the army has Increased to more
than $4,000.

CAME FROM DAMAGED STOCK
Idea of Blotting Paper Was the Direct
Result of Act of Careless
Workman.

Bfotting paper, like many another
valuable discovery, was found entirely
by accident. One day in a paper mill
in Berkshire, England, careless work
man forgot to put in the sizing and it
was necessary to throw out the entire
lot as spoiled. Later the angry pro-
prietor sat down to write note and
possibly for reasons of economy used a
sheet of the condemned paper. To his
increased annoyance the ink spread all
over the paper and he was. about to
give up in disgust when the thought
struck him that it might be possible to
use the paper for absorbing ink in
place Of the sand then universally used.
After some successful experimenting
he was able to dispose of his entire
damaged stock under the name of blot
ting paper.
From that time on blOtting paper
came into general use. At first it was
always pink in color, red rags being
used. Red was fast color and diff
cult to bleach, hence the red rags were
useless in manufacturing writing pa
paper. But as the color of blOtting pa
per did not interfere with its useful
ness, red or pink was as good a color
as any other, and thus provided a
means of utilizing otherwise wasted
material.

OUTSIDE PALE OF HUMANITY
That German Spies Can Be classed
Only as Dangerous Reptiles, Is
Opinion Of One Writer.

It is not dishonorable to be a spy,
SAYS the Santa Fee New Mexican. One
Of the Americans we most revere,
whose only regret was that he had but
one life to give TO his country, was
shot as spy. The spy must be most
daring and courageous, must face ex-
traordinary perils, must have remark
able nerve and resourcefulness.
That, at least, is the conception Oh
the SPY which we had until the Ger
man spy got into the game and made
the word synonymous with all that Is
most execrable in treachery and cum
hing. dishonor and all forms of evil. A
spy has come to mean an incendiary
and murderer, an assassin OF women
and babies, poisoner of food ana
water. a dynamiter and train wrecker,
coward and human reptile.
The fate which made Capt. Nathan
Hale immortal is much too good for
he men whom America has sucked
ind who have become vipers at the
BOSOM of their adopted mother. The
sooner government valves charity ana
.eniency and drops hesitation and half
way measures the better for all con-
cerned.
The German who breathes a word OF
lisloyalty should be interned, no mat
ter who he is; the one who conspires
against the government or its work
should be promptly put to death. We
are at war. The traitor Mt home helps
'ill our boys at the front Why should
The government parley with him?

Submarine Takes 80 Tons of Copper

New York, June 13.-Crews of two
Norwegian steamships sunk by Ger
man submarines, the Vindeggen and
Henrik Lund, were brought here by IL
Danish steamship.
This brings the total of vessels sunk
in American waters to eighteen.
Eighty tons o. copper ingots, part
of the cargo of the Vindeggen, We're

steamship was sunk with bombs
The vessel was stopped by the sub
marine 200 miles east of Cape Charles.
The crew was obliged to unload the
copper into the ships small boats and

small boats were taken in tow until

The crews of the vessels, sixty sight
men. We're landed by a Danish steam
ship which picked them up at sea.
The Henrik Lund was from Norfolk
for New York. Stopped by the sub
marine, the crew was ordered into
small boats and the ship sent to the
bottom with bombs. Then the two
crews were taken in tow. When the
Danish vessel was sighted, the subma-
rine cut them adrift and submerged.
The Vindeggen was bound here from
South American port. Her copper

Turkey lakes Census.

For the first time in the history of
Turkey, says an Amsterdam dispatch,
Il complete census of the whole empire
is to be taken. A German statistician
has been appointed to superintend the
preliminary formalities. The Turkish
newspaper, Sabah. says: Eve are the
only nation in Europe, not excluding
even the Balkan states, which pos
sesses no official statistics of our popu-
lation'' The estimated population Of
Turkey before the war was roughly
21.O00.O00, of which 100000 were
Turks, 100000 Arabs, 100000 Ar
menians, 100000 Greeks, 100000
Kurds. and the remainder Druses.
Jews and the smaller tribes. The Turk
ish newspapers have recently shown
some anxiety as to the large decrease
in population lately caused by dthe war
and the prevalence of disease and have
