But the worship o, Baal ran the whole
gamut of cruelty Its priests specialized
not only in the destruction OF babies but
OF women, and this latter was accompanied
by unspeakable degradation They had
their hold upon the high and low alike,
ana scores upon scores of the naidens OF
their race went TO sacrifice.

OF Baal"
In crypt OF the Temple Of Baal at Baal-
Dck-and also in Carthage. Tyre and all
the other cities where the god was wor-
shinped-there was gigantic stone statue
OF the monster. 1t sat within pit and az
rs feet roamed lions. Regularly Baal was
given bride probably once a month.
These brides were the most beautiful of
the daughters o; the mobiles The priests
selected those they thought the god would
Ike. The unhappy victim was then taken
with elaborate ceremonies into the crypt
and placed upon Z cushion upon the lap OF
the statue. There she was left without
TODD or drink and with the lions proving
below her She could not leave the god
because the only way 10 do so would be
10 cast herself down at the beasts
But all the evidence is that after the
people had been duped b. the ceremonies
the priests themselves stole back. fei the
lions, rescued the maiden for themselves
and made her slave OF their wiles and
desires, ana after time she, TOO, was
slaughtered. It Is probable that this inner

Paris, April 25.-American soldiers wounded in the great battle which now is being waged are already arriv- ing at the rear. American wounded and sick to the number of 128 have reached hospital 25.

 Hospital 25 is one of the new insti- tutions established behind the line as it stood after the allies stopped the recent German drive iA Fcardy.
 Few of the Americans remained at the hospital very long, being taken farther to the rear.
 Sixteen girl students of Smith Col lege are working in day. and night shifts at htis point and are operating we'll arranged canteen at the rail road station for the soldiers coming through on the hospital trains.

AMERICAN LAUNCHES
 SAVED NAVAL RAIDERS
200 Members of Crew of Block Ships Were Rescued-They Dashed Through German Bar rage at Express Speed.

Dover, England, April 25.-One of the most thrilling incidents of the British naval raid on Zebrugge last Tuesday was the rescue by two American built motor launches of nearly 200 members of the crews of the two block ships sunk at the en- trance to the Bruges Canal. The feat was accomplished under a heavy fire and the actual transfer was made in less than five minutes.
 Two of the three block ships which passed inside the mole reached their objective and swung broadside across the mouth of the channel. Then, ac- cording to plans, awo motor launches dashed in from the sea through the enemy barrage at express speed and drew up alongside.
 All the time shells were falling, some striking the block ships and causing numerous casualties, but the crews upheld their traditions for cool ness.
 As the last of those who were able reached the launches two muffled ex- plosions tore great holes in the bot toms of the block ships. The vessels settled quickly. At the same moment the heavily laden launches were dash ing seaward and again they passed through a German barrage to the waiting British destroyers. One launch delivered go men to the destroyer. The clocklike precision es- sential to the success of the operation made it impossible to evacuate all the dead and wounded from the block ships, but the participants declare that the loss of personnel in this fea- ture of the enterprise was remarkably small.
 The casualties on the block ship sunk at Ostend were still lighter Twelve men from the crew of one of the Ostend block ships got off in a lifeboat and rowed II hours before be- ing rescued For two hours of that time they were under heavy enemy fire, mainly that of machine guns, but they suffered only one casualty.
