Rising Curve Of Human Energy.

AS matter Of health, it win be much
better to begin the day earlier and end
it earlier. Humanity has a definite
cycle of physiological changes that take
place during the twenly-four hours. In
the early morning. temperature, pulse
and respiration are lowest, bat begin
TO rise. They reach a maximum in the
early evening hours, between four and
six. and then begin TO descend again.
1t is on the rising curve Of human
energy that the days work ought to
be done. Rest should be as far as pos
sible during the hours when the cycle
Of energy is on the descent. The pro-
posed scheme for daylight saving
would bring US back 10 be more in ac-
cord with the human physiological
cycle in the twenty-four hours than is
true at present.

LONDON, April 5.-Offensive
operations on a large scale were re-
sumed by the Germans late yester-
day afternoon, the kaiser's forces
striking at the British positions south
of the Somme, where the German
line is nearest Amiens. General
Haig reported to the war office this
morning that the British forces had
been pressed back short distance,
to the east of Amiens, where the
Germans hurled many divisions
against the defending lines between
the Somme and Luce rivers. Fight
ing of the most violent sort is re-
ported, the Germans pushing forward
without regard for losses, which have
been exceedingly heavy, hardly COM
pensating for the gains made.
For the most part, the report OF
General Haig says, the enemy troops
were hurled back and the British
lines are now holding firmly in their
positions east of Where's and Bree-
tonneux.

KATALLA WHARF
WRECKED BY ICE

The big wharf being constructed
at Controller Bay, Katalla, by the
Alaska Anthracite Coal company,
was carried away recently by a
heavy run of ice setting out with
the tide from Boring river. This
wharf was a large structure over
three miles in length, with it's APP
proaches. This will materially de-
lay the work of placing the coal
from that place on the market as
it will be necessary to use lighters
until another wharf can be con-
structed.
George w. Nelson, contractor for
the construction of the road from
Controller Bay to the coal claim, re-
ported last fall that everything was
ready to market the coal, with the
exception of the approach to the
wharf. The wharf was constructed
on piling and stood in the waters
of the bay three miles from shore.
The work of building the approach
to the wharf was under way when
winter weather set in.
Clark Davis, president Of the Alas
ka Anthracite Coal company is at
present in the States, and is said to
be making arrangements for the
construction of another dock with
proper safeguards to minimize the
danger of its going out second
time.

GOVERNORS URGE
ACTION TO STOP
HUN IN AMERICA
Want Measures Taken to Stamp Out
Disloyalty Throughout United
States.
WASHINGTON. D. c., April s.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
At a conference held in this city
today between the state governors
and members of the national council
of defense, it was urged that drastic
measures be taken by the United
States to stamp out disloyalty and
to curb the German language and
the activities of the German press
in this country. 1t was also urged
that a stop be put to further preach
ing in German and the teaching of
the German language in elementary
schools. .
Secretary Daniels, who presided,
asked the governors to formulate
resolutions in support of the bill
drafted by the attorney general and
designed to reach spies, traitors and
disloyal persons. When full Ameri-
canization has been accomplished,
said Daniels, mot only will every
American be modified for war, but
they will put the fear Of God in
the hearts of those who live among
them and fatten upon. the United
States and are not Americans.

French Forces Make Important
Gains As Germans Rush lard
In Direction OF British Positions

the German casualties will far ex-
coed those of the French and British.
The afternoon communique says:
1--WE have driven the Germans back
in the neighborhood of Moreuil and
have captured several important
positions to the south. We advanced
to the west of Castel and forced
the Germans back from Arricourt
wood. Gains of considerable i'm
portance have also been made at
other points in that sector"
The Germans are still fighting
desperately to advance their posi-
lions in the direction of Amiens and
to separate the Anglo-French armies,
but it is believed that they are Sc
curely held. The enemy has failed
to widen his salient and on both
wings of the battlefront, the Allied
troops have repulsed all of the Ger
man assaults. Wherever gains have
been made by the Germans, they
have been slight and not such as to
seriously endanger the Allied line.

ported from the Scarpe valley and

MANY MEN IN ATTACK

LONDON, April 5.-Advices re-
ceived from the mainland this morn
ing state that the Germans massed
eleven divisions in the Mondidier
sector, for their drive on Amiens.
These eleven divisions were used on
a nine-mile front between Grivesnes
and the Amiens-Roye road. This
highway crosses the battlefront at
point ten miles east and south of
Amiens.
The assaults against the British
and French positions have followed
in quick succession since the COM
mencement of the drive and the
slaughter of the attacking forces
have been tremendous, greater, it is
stated, than in any engagement dur
ing the past three weeks. 49,.
A French communicate, issued this
morning, says that the Germans, in
their night operations, captured the
towns of Mailly, Raineval and Nor
risel, forcing the French troops back
several hundred yards, in the center
of the battlefront. The French,
however, still hold the heights in the
neighborhood of Moreuil and have
made some progress in the Grives-
mes sector. The town of Moreuil
also has been retained by the French.
PARIS, April 5.-The war office
reports late this afternoon that
French and British operations during
the day have greatly improved the
situation. The French are now hold
ing their lines below Amiens, the
3 attacking Germans having been de-
feated in what is described as their
most violent attack of the present
offensive operations, launched for
the apparent purpose of splitting
the French and British forces.
The Germans suddenly changed
their attack today to the north Of
Somme, where they engaged the
British along a seventeen-mile front.
They were unable to advance, how
ever; except at one point near the
river, and the reports indicate that
the Allied line, as a whole is still
intact.
The war office statement says that
the German attack on the French
positions southeast Of Amiens, with
10000 troops, has been wholly.
frustrated. The losses on both sides
have been heavy, but it is believed

to be explained as follows: The
roasted lamb4bone is reminiscent of
the Passover sacrifice; the "matzoh'
or unleavened bread recalls the haste
with which the Israelites left Egypt,
with no time to prepare the bread
for the journey; the "maror" or bit
ter herb reminds of the bitterness
of the slaves life in Egypt. There
are also at the festive board
roasted egg which is substitute for
the ancient sacrifice, salt water, sug
gestive of the tears shed by the slave
ancestors of the Israelltes, and cha
roseth," a mixture of almonds and
apples, not unlike in appearance to
the mortar which the slaves used in
making bricks.
The whole ceremony is an ex-
PLANTATION of these symbols, a re-
counting Of IsraePs stay in Egypt
and of his marvellous deliverance, OF
Gods watch over his chosen people
throughout their history. Praises
are sung to the Almighty and prayer
offered that freedom may always be
Israel's lot as we'll as that of the
remainder of mankind.
