Mrs. Mapr was the daughter of a country bone-setter near Seven Dials, England, and died in 1737. She ac- quired wonderful skill in bone-setting and her fame spread throughout Eng land. She married a servant, who left her after a week of welded life, ta- king her money with him. Mrs. Mapp then went to Epson, where she de- voted herself to her profession" People came to her from far and near. Once week she used to drive to town in a coach and four, and re- turn bearing away the crutches Of her patients as trophies. Her ca reer of prosperity was, however, a short one, for, while she was at the height of her cSreer in 1796. for some mysterious reason her powers gave out and she died the following year in great poverty.

NORMANDY TO
Be GREAT CENTER

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
French Front. March 80. - Nor
mandy is believed 10 be destined to
become one of the great centers OF
French industrial activity as soon as
hostilities have ceased. One metal
lurgical company, working under the
auspices Of the French government
already has taken the matter in hand,
and is constructing q large series OF
blast furnaces to turn into steel the
immense layers OF iron ore found In
Lower Normandy,
Just before the war the whole
region with its mineral wealth was
In danger of falling into the hands or
the Germans, as Thyssen, one Of the
German steel kings, had acquired the
Soumont mine. about fifteen miles
from Caen, with the intention OF
working IL in connection with blast
furnaces he proposed to construct in
the vicinity of that city. His idea
was to furnish coal from his West
phalian mines. and to obtain iron ore
for the German blast-furnaces along
the Rhine.
Thyssen was unable to obtain a
concession for. the construction OF a
railroad from the mine to the port or
Caen except on the condition OF unit
ing his interests to those Of a French
company. This condition was ac-
cepted and a company was formed
which at the end Of 1912 started inn
portant works on the right bank OF
the River Orne.
Ten million dollars had been ex-
pended when the work was interrupt
ed by the war and the part belonging
to Thyssen sequestered. The French
government thereupon. in view Of the
great demand for cast iron and steel
for the purposes of the army, decided
to step in and hasten the construc-
ton OF the works. The two great
national armament works, Creusot
and Saint Chamond. interested them
selves in the project and established
a new company. which now has
works covering more than 1,lOO acres
near Caen.
Al railroad has been laid connecting
the works with the 5oumont ore
mines is miles distant. From these
mines. 1t Is expected. iron ore VIII ne
obtainable for an indefinite period,
while coal will be brought from Eng
land for the present and later from
the northern departments Of France
and from Belgium BY canal. sink
ings are also in progress for the dis
covery Of the prolongation OF the
English coal-layers.
The works are now employed on
munitions for the French army, but
as soon as the war has terminated
they are to be utilized to turn the
district into a gigantic steel works
and transform the province into an
industrial center.

RESIGNATION 0F
COUNT CZERNIN
is The RESULT
OF PEACE LETTER
tBy Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, April Is. - Count
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister, according to a dis
patch from Vienna, has resigned.
Emperor Charles accepted the res
ignation and entrusted Count
Czernin with the conduct OF. foreign
affairs until his successor is APP
pointed.
The recent publication by the
French government Of the futile
peace appeal put out by Emperor
Charles, OF Austria Hungary; in
March, 1917, and the efforts Of the
emperor and the Austro- Hungarian
foreign Office to explain this letter to
the satisfaction of Germany and the
German emperor, probably were the
most potent influences in bringing
about the resignation Of Count
Czernin.
Since he was appointed foreign
minister on December 20, 1915, Count
Czernin has been apparently very
active in attempting to bring about
peace.
In the peace offensive" of the
present year Count Czernin in the
Austrian reichsrath on January 25
suggested an exchange OF views be-
tween Austria Hungary and the
United States. But there always
was some thought that his pacifst
maneuvers were inspired by Berlin in

SUMMARY OF WAR

All around the sweeping semi

The Germans displayed their ap-
probation Of this by attacking no
less than seven times. One assault
was carried out by troops in five
waves. This was the only attack
that bent the British line in the
slightest and the position here was
speedily restored.
The Germans have been foiisd in
their efforts TO push in further in the
BailIsuI region and this important
town is still In British hands.
Far 20 the southwest on the Lys
