The Committee on Public Informa-

revelations in the Reichstag main

LEGATIONS of the Daimler Motor
Works. 1t was shown that the Daim-

cent. profit per annum, the COM
pany's sworn statement placing the
profits at 1 per cent, and while the
company was earning 4OO,OOO,QQO
marks monthly in excess of it's peace
time profits it had threatened to re-
duce output unless higher prices
were paid. The Berliner Tageblatt
(LiberaD, said:

HOPE CREST IS REACHED
WASHINGTON MILITARY OFF,
GALS FEEL ENCOURAGED.
Weekly Review of War-Enemy Meet
ing With Stubborn Resistance in
Efforts to Widen Salient.

Washington, April 15.-Hope that
the force of the German stroke to-
ward the channel ports has largely
spent itself grew here today as the
British lines stood fast under re-
peated shocks. The days advices in
dicated again that Field Marshal
Haig's men were obeying to the letter
his call for unyielding resistance.
The weekly review published by
the War Department, although it car
ried operations only up to last Satur-
day, showed that the war college
opinion saw then indications that the
German wave was reaching its crest.
In Allied diplomatic and military
circles the same impression prevailed
today, strengthened by more recent
reports from the front.
Fierce Fighting.
Dispatches indicate that the fierc-
est fighting is on the northern line of
the new salient driven into the Brit
ish front north of Arras. The strug-
gle for possession of Neuve Eglise
and towns in that region looks to
observers here like an effort by the
enemy to force a way behind Ypres
and cause the abandonment of that
place and withdrawal of a large
section Of the British line.
The Germans were in possession of
Neuve Eglise by last accounts, but
they had previously captured it only
to be driven out again. The situa-
tion has not stabilized on this particu-
lar front further than to show that
the enemy is meeting with stubborn
resistance in his effort to widen his
fighting front to the north.
Every hour gained by the British
in holding this ground means in
creased probability that they will
hold it permanently. Time allows
the assemblage of supporting forces
in sufficient strength to meet any
shock. Or should withdrawal
and realignment on better positions
be judged desirable, time will give
opportunity for the preparation of
those positions.
It is possible that the plans of Gen.
Foch, commander-in of Allied
and American armies in France,
hinge upon developments in this mar
row sector of the broad battle front.
Such moves as he may be contemplat-
ing may well depend, it is said, upon
the stabilization of the Allied left
flank.
There is no question but that many
officers here view the situation as
serious. Even if the present thrust
toward Bethume is checked, they be-
lieve a third assault at some other
portion of the British front is to be
expected.
There have been many reports indi-
eating that the Austro-Hungarian
forces were preparing for drive
against the Italians. When it will be
started cannot be foretold, but some
observers think that in case of
definite check to the German move
ment, the Austrians would launch
their effort.
In that case, the scene of operations
on the west front might shift far to
the south to the area where American
troops are on the front. The railway
junction through which French or
British forces sent to Italy naturally
woud pass lies behind that sector. 1t
is believed possible that the Germans
might throw their weight in that di-
rection in an effort to prevent any
support reaching Italy.

WHAT LIFE INSURANCE RECORDS

"F1N' LIT = lNOohNNSE NGSOnbo
YELL.
The Life Extension institute, of
which Prof. Irving Fisher Of Yale Is
chairman. and ex-President William
Howard Taft Is president Of the board
Of directors, published report Of the
actuaries of 43 American life insur-
ance companies covering period Of
25 years from 1885, showing the in
creased mortality Of moderate users OF
alcoholic liquors. These records were
kept without any reference to the pro-
hibition issue, and reveal that.
1. Very moderate users Of liquor
increased their death rate by IS per
cent over the normal rate.
2. Moderate users Of liquor with an
occasional excess, increased their
death rate by 30 per cent over the
normal rate.
3. Those who drank more than two
glasses Of beer or more than one glass
of whisky per day and yet were con-
sidered acceptable standard risks for
insurance, increased their deatn rate
by sc per cent above the normal rate.
These three classes Of insured mod
crate drinkers increased their mortal
ity by an average of 81 1-3 per cent.
The death rate recorded by these
companies includes only men suffi-
ciently temperate to secure a life in
surance policy. IF we add the thou
sands of heavy drinkers who cannot
get life insurance the death rate from
liquor will he largely increased.
The comparisons in this report are
with the average mortality of all in
sured men, including the users Of
liquors. If IT had been made with the
total abStainers the difference In NOR
tality would have been even greater.

THE LUMP IN HIS SIDE.

A wOrhingman, almost ruined by
drink, was indnced TO sign the pledge
for year. When the year was out,
he went and renewed II for life. He
had just received his wages, and had
the money in bag in his inside pocket,
when he met the saloonkeeper ut
whose place he used to drink.
"Well, old fellow" said the saloon
keeper, chow do you do?'
"Pretty WELL" the workingman an
swered, "only I've got a hard lump
here on my side"
"Oh!" said the other, "it's cold water
does that; If you'd drink some good
liquor, it would soon take the lump
away"
"But," said the man, 81 have just
renewed the pledge for life, and I
can't do It,"
'Then, mind what ] say" said the
saloonkeeper, "that lump will 60 on in
creasing. and very lil,Sly before an
other year you'll havS another on the
other side"
81 hope So" said the workingman,
taking out his money bag and shaking
1t. Its cold cash."

THE BUSINESS VIEW.

The time is not far distant when
n prohibition zone will surround mills
and factories, even as schools and
churches are now protected, within
which no liquor will be sold. II is big
business that Is now talking, not mere
ly preachers and reformers. Large
financial interests are at stake. Com
petition is so close that the very ex-
istence of factories in the race for
trade and maintenance is threatened
unless the field be clear one with no
mill discounted by lower standards Of
efficiency than another. No business
will tolerate the drink habit today.
Trust companies presided over by
boozers are tabooed by the investor.
Time was when the brilliant alcoholic
could hold his place in almost any
job or profession. That time is past.
Industry and education have come to
realize that dependability is better
than brilliancy itself and that bril-
liancy is more common with men Of
clear heads than with those whose
brains are muddled with alcohol.-Yar-
mouth Times.

The Kultur of Germans is shown
in the following passage in Life Of
Pastcur,' dealing with an incident
during the Franco-PrussiaD war:
"Regnault had left his laboratory
tools in his room at the Sevres por-
celain manufactory of which he was
manager. A rruSsian, evidently an
expert, had been there. Nothing
seemed changed in that abode of sci
enCe and yet everything was de-
Stroycd. The glass tubes of barom-
cterS were broken; scales and other
instruments had been carefully
knocked out of shape with Il hammer.
In a corner was heap of ashes, the
registers notes, manuscripts, all Reg
