 The morale of the mon is wonder full. They are willing to attempt any thing and are talking with pride of the heavy losses they inflicted upon the Germans in their attack this morning. while all the early reports indicated that the afternoon attack had been even more costly to the enemy.
 This latter attack was undertaken largely because of the splendid show ing the marines made in the morning. coupled with the discovery that the morale of the Germans in the Op- posite position was low, which made the going easier for the fiery soldiers of the marine corps. The advance was carried out by the same men who at tackled in the morning and who had had no rest. They asked nothing, however, but plenty of ammunition and hardly ate the food that was brought up to them, so absorbed were they in the task of chasing the en- emy as far as possible

MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
Leipziq Tavern in Which Poet Located
Scene in Faust" Was Well.
Known Gathering Place.

Auerbach's cellar was tavern at
Leipzig which disappeared in 1912. 1t
owed its chief fame to Goethe. who in
this place located the scene in Faust"
wherein Mephistopheles, standing up
on a wine cask, takes his fight into
space with Doctor Faust, to the stupe-
faction of the guests drinking at the
tables. The old building to which the
cellar belonged was built by Doctor
Stromer d'Auerbach at about 1929, the
worthy doctor there storing the wine
intended for his own use. Later, as
the wine was good. he conceived the
idea of selling it. In this way was es-
tablished the tavern to which his
name has been attached ever since.
From the earliest years of the seven
teenth century legend has placed in
this cellar the famous adventure Of
Faust and Mephistopheles. Goethe,
studying at Leipzig university from
1868 to 176S, frequented that cellar al
most nightly and there talked with
his friends of art, literature and pol
itics. and thus he heard Of that le-
gend which he turned to such excellent
account, at the same time so very
greatly enriching the literature of his
country.
