$1,000 Soldiers Occupy Battle
Front in Lorraine
Sector
WASHINGTON, March 7.

Uncle Sans soldiers are now in
charge Of more than eight miles Of
trenches on the battlefront in France.
although in an air line their frontage is
only about four and half miles. This
frontage is liable to extension at any
time to the regular trench allotment for
an army corps.
Irregularity of the trench lines IS
responsible for their eight miles of
length. They are laid out so that flank
ing fire may be obtained along every
part OF the front. Strong points con-
tanning machine guns jut out for this
purpose. The trenches also follow
clcscly any protective slope Of the coun-
try and wander up and down hill.
The American sector in understood to
he divisional frontage, which means
that at least three divisions of Ameri-
can troops are there to give the neces-
sary support in depth for the front lines.
This fact has aroused speculation
here as to who will he elcr'ed by Cen
cral Pershing to command the frst
corps of his army. Major General Hurt
er Biggett is known 10 nave acteu IN
that capacity, but rs yet the eexpedt-
tIonary commander has not made any
recommendation
II is possible that the French system
will be followed in the American army

France to select any one OF tho division

II the French practice Is adopted
therefore. the grade of lieutenant gem

It was stated here that the Rainbow
Division is on tn" firing line in France
in action against the Germans, although
it's exact location is not indicated and

dispatches.
How long the Rainbow div!e!on has
been fighting Is not known here, but II
has been on the front for some little
time. 1t was the second National Guard
division to go overseas, following the

ROMANCE IN RUsKIN's LIFE
Divergent Religious Views for Long
Time Separated Him From the
Woman He Loved.

In 1865 Ruskin declared his love for
Rosie La Touche and told her parents
Of his hope to make her his wife. says
J. Howard Whitehouse In Scribner's.
There was great difference Of years
between them. Ruskin was f0rty-sev-
en- ; Rosie was In her eighteenth year.
There was some natural hesitation on
the part Of the parents, and 1t was ar
ranged that the matter should.be post
poned for three years.
But when the period OF probation
was ended new difficulties arose.
There was hesitation not only on the
part Of the parents, but also by Rosie.
Miss In Touche was Of deeply re-
llgious nature, but her views were or
thodox and she did not share the wider
views on spiritual questions in which
Ruslsin increasingly believed.
Her love for him had never wav-
cred since the days Of her childhood; !;
but she doubted II, holding the views
she did, she could marry him. Both
she and Ruskln suffered the deepest
distress.
For a little time there was es-
arrangement, and there Is moving en-
try in RuskIn's diary In the year 1870:
Last Friday about twelve o'clock at
noon my mistress passed me ana
would not speak," In the following
year there was reconciliation.
The end Of Ruskln's dream came In
1875. Miss La Touches health never
strong, began to fail, and she died In
May of that year.
