NOT A"TRENCH" OF BAYONETS
True. Story of Famous incident at
verdun, Which French Bravery
Has Made immortal.

The scaffolding has now been taken
down from the monument over the IA
nous Trench Of the Bayonets" at
verdun which President Millerand has
inaugurated. But the term trench"
is a misnomer. The true story is
this:
EIfty-seven survivors of two Breton
battal;ons were holding the line there,
not IN a trench, brit In series Of
shellholes, nearly regularly spaced and
aligned. The men were so packed that
when any were wounded they were un-
able to fall down, while for security
they held their rifles, with fixed bay
onets. in the air.
Durins the whole OF June IL, II and
13, 1915, terrible artillery duel ragged
FOUND them. Caught between the
French and German barage fires, one
by one the men died, while the burst
ing shells buried them under waves Of
torn-up ground. When the scene could
be visited all that remained was a
line of bayonets protruding from the
ground.-Continental Edition OF the

More Widows Than Widowers.

According to the United States CEN
sus of 1920, there are in this country
at this time 3,170.000 widows and only
1.471.3 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are. on the average,
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
er than the husband, and then, too,
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
women.-Bankers' Life Bulletin.
