Dead Germans'in great numbers are scat.
tered everywhere over the battlefield. AS an
example, 400 enemy dead were observed this
morning on one small piece of ground over
which the battle had swept.
DISASTROUS FOR GERMANS.
With all this fierce fighting and notwith-
standing the fact that the British at many
places have fought over open ground against
an enemy protected in "pot holes" and strong
points of other kinds, the British losses every
where seem to have been extraordinarily light
This probably is due to the confusion the Ger.
mans find reigning behind their lines as they
are fighting losing battle which for them
hourly grows more disastrous.
Crown Prince Rupprecht today had
strengthened his line at many places, but this
instead of stopping the British, simply meant
that the Germans suffered bigger losses.
During the night and this morning the front
upon which the battle was being fought yester-
day was widened appreciably both to the north
and the south, while the ground in the middle
between Albert and Beaucourt-Sur-Ancre,
which heretofore had been fairly quiet, sud-
denly was drawn into the whirl.

ter? Everyone knows what weight is. Mass is technical term less well un- derstood, but we may think of it as closely related to weight and pro- portionate to it. Now, one of the most startling conclusions of the goth cen- tury is that an electrical charge, placed upon a body, increases it's mass and consequently both its mass and weight This suggests the possibility that in its ultimate elements, matter is of an elec- trical nature. If this becomes an estab- lished fact, consequence of it would be that Newton's law of gravitation would require a slight modification Einstein's doctrine of relativity as- sets that the force of gravitation be- tween two bodies depends for one thing on whether they are at rest or in mo- tion. Newton's statement of the law of gravitation asserts that whether two bodies are at rest or in motion in no way affects the force of gravitation between them. Among other things, the eclipse will possibly furnish an op- portunity of testing whether the state ment of Newton's law of gravitation must be modified as indicated by Fin stein.

STIRRING DAYS
 NUT FORGOTTEN

Patriotism is no newly awakened sentiment in the heart of W. K. Scarborough, who is the man who in troduced the American flag in the state of Texas after the civil war.
 In his abstract office on North First avenue, Scarborough has the flag made by his daughter in 1889 to fly in Texas after the fall of Fort Sumter.
 The 1S-year- old daughter of the patriot is dead, but she lived to Sec stars ana Stripes which she loved respected in the southern home of her adoption. The flag used in the first Fourth of July celebration in the Texas town where she lived is the greatest keepsake that MT. Scarbor- ough has of the little girl who made 1t and of the colony which he helped establish. There are AZ stars in thu flag which hangs over his desk in his downtown office, where yesterday he discussed the days of long ago.
 MT. Scarborough recalled that when the Fort Worth & Denver railroad was completed in 1888, General Dodge, the railroad superintendent, interested group of Iowans in developing Texas. MT. Scarborough and his fam fly belonged to the Iowa colony that established the town of Iowa Park in Wichita county.
 AS the Fourth of July approached, 1 decided that we must hold a cele- bratlon and discovered that there was not flag to be had in the entire county. The Fourth had not been celebrated since the war and I was determined that it should be ob- served" declared MT. Scarborough. He told of the offer of his daughter and of the hours passed in sewing to- gether the red and white stripes and Iixlng the white stars on the square oit of blue.
 Word came to me from a corporal of the Louisiana Tigers th4t the flas was not to fly. and even my little | girl asked me to be careful. Father. there will be trouble" she said in w-Tning.
 l T sent him word that I would put daylight through him if he attempted to touch the flag, and at daylight on the Fourth I fired the salute. I was prepared for trouble, but it did not materialize. Major Mosby of the Confederate army, who for four and a half years fought against the flag carried it in our parade and cowboys for miles around came to town for the celebration.
 Later we moved to Plainview and | history repeated itself. It was in 1891 and again the flag made by my daughter was the first to be raised in Texas town since the war.

THE UNbEL|EvER
 T0 OPEN TODAY

"The Unbeliever," which begins at the Columbia today, is picture which carries a powerful patriotic lesson. In it's production and showing over the country it has had the cooperation of the Marine corps. The very heart of the allied cause is presented vividly and realistically on the screen. It makes an appeal to the fighting and noble instincts of the young American that carries him irresistibly to the re- cruiting office.
 Lieutenant Fachman, in charge Of the local recruiting office for the Ma rine corps, has aided in every possible way, to create interest in the picture, He stated that the government recog4 nized it's value to the extent of plac- ing at the disposal of the producers | members of the Marine corps and needed settings at the cantonment in | Quantico, Va.
 Lieutenant Eastman further stated that he was with the picture in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The re- ception in these cities was one of hearty appreciation and endorsement and Marine recruiting was stimulated to a marked degree.
 "The Unbelieyer,' deals with young man of the idle class whose views of life are somewhat warped by the | influence of too much money, family and society. In this role he is not |, very admirable character but he re- tains sufficient idealism, to appreciate the justice of the allied cause and
 when the war breaks out offers his
 services to them.
 l In the trenches in Belgium he
 comes to the realities of life. Through
 suffering, calls on his courage and
 views of the ravages of the Hun he
 finds himself, a regenerated man. l A Belgian girl of gentle birth fig
 ures, and all the scenes are brought
 before the audience with the thrill ot
 actuality.
