GERMANS SUFFER
 HEAVY LOSSES
Old Story is RetOld in Silesian Fighting-SituatiOn at Beu- then is Reported to be Grave Huns Numbered 5000.

Oppeln, June 2.-French soldiers, forming the garrison of Beuthen, city in Southeastern Silesia near the Polish frontier, have been attacked by forces organized by the German in- habitants of the town. Reports state the Germans in the fighting numbered 5000 The French used tanks in charging the Germans and are said to have gained the upper hand. There have been many German casualties, it is reported, but the French have not suffered losses.
 The situation in Beuthen is cofnpli- cated by the presence of Polish in surgent forces around the city. The Poles began to fight with Germans in the outskirts of the town on Sunday, and when the French were attacked the Poles rushed to their assistance. Reports from Beuthen are not entire ly clear, but it would appear that the French commander refused the prof fered aid, as it is said the French are holding the Poles from enetring the town.
 The attack by the Germans on the French is said to have been we'll planned Telegraph and telephone wires between the French headquar- ters and the barracks were cut, sen- tries driven back and the headquar- ters detachment surrounded. Tanks were rushed to the scene and the Ger mans, who were armed with pistols, attempted to capture the machines, but were repulsed and driven into ad- jacent buildings, from the windows of which hot fire was opened. The tanks charged on the buildings, fir ing volleys through the doors and windows.
 The situation at Beuthen is report ed hy neutral refugees reaching here to be grave. The German population of the city is declared to be desper- ate. Food supplies are running short and there has been much footing dur ing recent nights.
 All wire communication between Beuthen and Kattowitz, further south has been interrupted since Monday. Refugees arriving here say that the French at Kattowitz have killed number of Poles who attempted to loot two motor lorries loaded with food, and it is declared there were some French casualties.
 Germans and Poles have been en- gagged in battle near Gross-Streh- litz, just east of the Oder River and south of Oppeln.
 The Germans have attacked the Poles and have forced the insurgents to withdraw from strong positions.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY,

Well-marked eyebrows and eye
lashes serve to emphasize eye beauty.
Eyebrows which are unusually pale
in color can be improved by the use
of cocoa butter or vaseline.
A great deal of the beauty of the
eyes is impaired by neglecting them.
It Is bad to strain them over small
print, even in a good light, or to sit
for a long time at fine needlework.
The hands should not be hastily
dabbled in water of varying tempera-
ture. imperfectly rinsed and hurriedly
dried upon harsh, unabsorbent towel.
Such course is sure to produce rough
and chapped hands.
In the first part of serious illness
little attention is paid to the sur
roundings, and when the patient begins
to recover. when he reaches the earlier
stages Of his cenvalescence, his where
abouts receive his first attention. He
may be assisted or retarded in his re-
covery by the situation, color anG

GASOLINE ON TRoLLEYs.

Perhaps in view of the fact that it
has never occasoned trouble before it is
not SO surprising that there does not ex-
ist a rule of the Connecticut company
prohibiting the carrying of gasoline on
electric cars, yet now that tragedy has
.- occurred in which such inf1ammable ma
terial has played a conspicuous and hor-
rible part the time would appear to be
ripe to see that proper safeguards in this
p respect should be instituted in the fu-
ture.
According to Manager Potter no rule of
the company was violated in carrying the
gasoline. Inasmuch as such a thing was
to be done it was the safest place to
transport it on the front platform. But
for the combination of circumstances
2 which resulted in bringing the cars to-
gether the can of troublemaking fluid
would doubtless have been carried to its
destination without incident, but il is that
one case out of a hundred possibly where
the public needs protection quite~as much

- sives

only disclosed what appears to be q

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
HISTORY
FIRST NAVAL ENTERPRISE

The first maritime exporting expedi-
ton ever undertaken by the United
States Government set sail on August
IS. 1888, with the intrepid Capt. Charles
Wilkes in command. The prime object
of the expedition was to promote the
great interest of commerce and navi-
CATION, as well as ito extend the
bounds of science and promote the
acquisition of knowledge"
y This expedition of exploration &C.
cupied four. years, the distance cover
ed vas ninety thousand miles, nearly
two thousand of which was along the
coat of a great Antarctic continent
never before seen by civilized man.
The enterprise received its official
programme from the Hon James K.
Paulding, Secretary of the Navy,
under President Van Buren,. The
leading members of the scientific corps
accompanying the expedition were
Mr.. Hale, philologist; Mr.. Pickering
and Mr.. Peale, naturalists; Mr..
Couthuoy, conchologist; Mr.. Dana
mineralogist; Mr.. Rich, botanist; Mr.,
Drayton and Mr.. Agate, draughtsmen,
and Mr.. Breckenridge, horticulturist
The vessels composing the squadron
were the sloop of war Nincenes, the
flagship, the sroop of war Peacock, the
brig. Porpoise, the storeship Relief, and
two tenders. The expedition started
from Norfolk, and the first course was

towards Madeira. The next port
reached was Rio Janeiro, from which
the whole squadron sailed to Terra del
Euego.
On its cruise to the south the
squadron experienced the usual recep-
ton at Cape Horn-rough and stormy
weather. Arriving at Valparaiso the
explorers established an observatory
The Cordilleras were explored by a
special Scientific corps.
From Callao the squadron passed
through the Paumotu group at Tahiti,
visiting islands not before known. Ar
irving at Tahiti the explorers lost no
time in commencing operations. An
observatory, furnished with both as
| Economical ana magnetic. instruments,
was at once established and parties
sent out for the survey of the princi-
pal harbors and the intervening chan
nels.
A thorough examination was next
made of the Samoan Islands, with
Tutuila as the base. Following their
work here they proceeded to New
| South Wales, and leaving Sidney the
last of December, 1S39,St the vessels pro-
ceeded separately TO the southwark.
when all reached the icy barrier, and
/ three of them were rewarded with the
sight of the hitherto unknown Antarc-
tic continents discovery which was
subsequently confirmed b. both
French and English authorities. This
was the most interesting and most
valuable of the discoveries.
Proceeding to New Zealand the ex-
petition went from thence TO the Fiji
Islands, exploring the same very
thoroughly. This group they found
consisted of one hundred and fifty
four islands, all covered with luxuriou!
foliage to their very SUBMITS, giving
them a pleasing and picturesque as
pect.
1t was to the cruelty Of the natives
of this group that Lieut.. Underwood
and Midshipman Henry, two of thu
most promising Of the officers OF tn
expedition, fell mortal victims while OF
shore to obtain provisions. For thes
|; murders prompt vengeance was in
fiicted by Capt. Wilkes.
The expedition next visited tn
Hawaiian Islands, and in the cours
of the scientific operations members o
the party assembled to the summit o
Mauna-Loa and there performed tn
difficult and important feat of meas
uring the pendulum.
The other places visited by the ex
petition were the northwest coast o
America, and the Columbia and Sacra
, mento rivers. They then explored por
tions of California, and leaving Sal
: Francisco in the month of November
d 1871, they went on a cruise to Manila
t Sooloo, Borneo, Singapore and III
S Cape of Good Hope, returning home b
t the way of st. Helena, in June, 1874.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
storrs College Has Been Q Real Help.

stOrrs College Has Been Real Help.
Mr.. Editor: A news item in yesterdays
Bulletin referring to the fact that some
one found dust on books dealing with
agriculture at Storrs college moves me to
add bit to the prevalent discussion OF
the doings Of our agricultural college.
By way of introduction. let me say
that am a plain farmer who does farm
ing on a small scale, graduate Of Shelf
field Scientific school Of Yale university.
/ have never attended Storrs-have
never even seen the piace-yet Storrs col
leeg has been a real help to me in my
business Of producing food. 1t has not
been necessary for me to go to the college
the college has cente to me. Following
are some Of the ways:
Our farm bureau, which Is partly sup
ported and largely guided in its work by
the college, helps me out by means Of
demonstrations in good methods Of farm
ing, by timely hints and helps at all
times, by its report Of market prices and
by the opportunity for consultation with
the county agent at all times.
The experts Of the college have been
called on by me for information regard
ing fertilizers and fruit and have proved
of help to me
Just recently the extension service OF
the college held four-day extension
| school in this town. which was attended
| by many of my fellow townspeople, to the
great benefit of all. There were classes
| in dairying, fruit growing. poultry and
many branches of 5nme economics. II
was a great inspiration and help to me tC
listen to and to talk with these men whs
are experts in their lines.
So I say, that while there may be dus
on the books at Storrs library, believe
me, there is no dust on the men anC
women of the college who have so oftel
been Of help to me and to my family.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

To remove stains from linen wet the
part stained and law on it some salt of
wormwood; then. rub without diluting
it,
Folding or wringing silk when
wet must be carefully avoided, since
creases made in wet silk never disap-
pear; and in like manner, hot suds
must not be used washing silk, as it
will in most cases remove the color.
A good recipe for cleaning silk, is
to CRATE five white potatoesi in clear
cold water. If the silk is thin, slice
the potatoes instead of grating. Wash
them well before grating or slicing.
Let the prepared water stand for "a
hours before using. Then strain the
liquid. Dip the silk in without rump-
ling it; spread it on the table, wipe
both sides with a clean towel, and iron
on the wrong side.
Wash thoroughly in hot suds and
wiring out the water with the hands
Rinse in blue water and squeeze again
Always use hands. Next wiring through

OUR DYE INDEPENDENCE.

According to ". A. Klipstein, chem
list and dye manufacturer this country
has gone ahead Of Germany in the dye
business. For that matter he believes
that We lead the world in this Industrial
effort and that we no longer need to fear
Germany as a rival in the manufacture
of dyestuffs
This declaration is interesting, eoming
as it does from a dye manufacturer, and
shows to what an extent the United
States has Responded to the situation it
Iced Whel the importation of such ma
terial was shut off by the war. It was
necessary for capital to fill in the gap
and it has done so with excellent results.
Naturally there Is a demand and need
that all necessary steps should be taken
to see that this business is permitted to
continue. We have overcome our depend
ence on Germany md we should be eager
to continue our independence in this di-
rection.
Even though this country can produce
superior product to Germany, as this
chemist believes, and in fact lead the
world in the manufacture of dyes. it is
not probable that we can do so and meet
the low cost of production which prevails
in Germany.
! 1t is within a short time that we have
been. informed that England was over

sent there from Germany meaning thai
German goods were being made to heod

is to keen production costs at the loves

TEE RUpaET sYaTFM.

Time is growing exceedingly short for
the enactment of business at the present
session Of congress. There are necessar-
lily some matters which should be given
the preference and they doubtless viii be
but there are matters which headed the
list of things to do" at this session, put
forh just previous to reconvening, which
have not as yet received attention. And
as the fourth Of March approaches the
chances that they will grow smaller.
Among this number is the budget bill
Possibly no serious harm would folieW if
it were allowed to 90 over into the spe-
cial session to be called in April, In view
Of the years that have failed to produce
any favorable results. In fact It might
be put aside without harm 10 insure sane
enactment of things which must be done
at this session, If there were not danger
of such progress as has been made being
upset.
New attention to this danger is empha-
sized by the chairman of the national
budget committee chairman who warns
against an attempt which he believes will
be made this week net only to delay the
bill but to knock the effort in the head

I 1t had been hoped that all thought 'oi
any such return to the old plan had beer
ended, that the wasteful and unbusiness

and that the present appropriation com

efficient budget system. From the claim
which have been made by members O.
