faculties, although at times he was
slightly delirious. His mind, accord
ing to those who remained constant
ly with him, was constantly occupied
with affairs of the Senate, with which
he had been dealing up to late hour
the night before he was stricken.
| The Senator also indicated great
interest in the great battle raging on
the western European front, and eN-
pressed the fervent hope that the Al
lied armies would be successful in
their efforts to block the great as
sault The last letter he wrote his
son contained a check for $50, with
which he asked him to purchase war
saving certificates and divide them
equally among four of his grandchil-
dren. He previously had purchased
Liberty Bonds for the two other
grandchildren.
There was a steady stream of call
ers at the Stone residence all of Sum
day. Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall and many members of the Sen
ate and House were among those who
came to offer sympathy to the family
and. to tender their aid. AT the
White Honse it was said President
Wilson, who had expressed great re-
gret when he learned Of Senator
Stones illness, was shocked when in
formed of his death.
Speaker and Mrs. Clark remained
at the Stone residence until late Sun
day night. X
Senator Stones death is the sew
enth that has occurred among mem
bers of the Senate since the war con-
gress began. Six of them were Dent
ocrats. The others were: Senator
Hughes of New Jersey, Newlands of
Nevada, Brady of Idaho, Broussard
OF Louisiana. Hastings of Wisconsin
and Lane Of Oregon.
The political complexion of the
Senate will not be affected by Sena-
tor Stones death, as it is generally
expected that Governor Gardner will
appoint a Democrat to succeed him
until the general congressional elec
tion next November. While reluc-
tant to speculate upon whom the
Governor might select, Missourians
in Washington were inclined to think
that the place would be offered either
to Speaker Champ Clark or David r.
Francis American ambassador to
Russia.

London, April Io.-Germany
mighty effort on the battlefield OF
Flanders has won new successes
According TO the latest reports, the
important strategic towns of Bailleul,
Wulverghem and Wytschaete are in
German hands, and. more important
still, the Teutons have carried large
part of Messines ridge by storm.
Probably there has been no more
bitter struggle during the war than
that waged along the battle line
through the towns OF Bailleul. Neuve
\lglise, Wulverghem and Wytschaete
Ncuve E,glisc was taken Monday, but
Bailleul held out until fresh masses OF
German troops were hurled into the
fray and charged repeatedly on the
tired defenders. The same story
might be told of Wulverghem and
Wytschaete while the battle ior
Messines ridge must have been fright
ful in its intensity.
The Germans have not attempted
to advance their wedge further into
the British lines, for no new attacks
on Merville and further west have
been reported. They have devoted
their sole attention to the work of
widening out the salient and striking
at Messines ridge and the railroad
running about six miles north OF
Bailleul. Messines ridge is the key
to the \pres sector. and its posses
sion will give the Germans com
mandng position in starting a new
drive
The successes of the Germans in
the last day have an important bear
ing on the campaign on the northern
battle front. Ii they are continued
there must be British retirement
from \prcs and possibly for some
distance further, north. while the cut-
ting of the railroad passing through
lIazebrouck would be still more ser
ious lor the British
SO important are the points won
by the Germans that the British must
be expected to collnter-attack at once
in an effort to sweep the invaders
back into the lowands once more.
All accounts of thc battle along this
line speak of the small British forces
which attempted to withstand the at
tacks by heavy legion> OF Teutons
which were brought up fresh Tor the
