The first official German account| of a battle on the western front has been published. It is an admission of failure in the first battle of Ypres in the fall of 1914 and also a glorious tribute to the remnant of the old British "contemphible little army." The defeat of the Prussian Guard in attempt to take Calais is attri- buted to masses of machine guns, the superiority of artillery and wonder- ful "strong points." We know what the Germans describe as masses of machine guns was really only rifle fire, that the British artillery was trivial and short of ammunition, especially high explosive shells, and the strong points were hastily thrown together and block houses built on the experience gained in South Africa. The Germans admit the bat- tle ended Germany's hopes of winning 'a speedy war, indeed of winning: t the ate war at all.' It has Yon: known that by sheer *| good shooting and obstinate refusal to' accept defeat an extraordinary victory 'was "gained: by 'the remnants of the old.army against the best troops the | German emperor could put his hands on, it has Been known that British determination outstayed the "Teuton will to victory and that the Prussian Guard recoiled, beaten, when another impulse would probab- ly have carried it through the thin line of muddied khaki. But the im- mensity of the effort and the full hopes of the enemy's leaders could _| only be guessed at or inferred. Now they have been disclosed in an au- thoritative and well-written military narrative, with orders of battle and by good sketch maps in which the dis- positions even of regiments "are some- times shown. Ed Germans Sought Calais. The story is graphically unfolded. There is first the appearance of Von Beseler's corps of three divisions covering the advance of four perfect- ly fresh reserve corps. Two, corps were the Twenty-second, Twenty- third, Twenty-sixth and Twenty- seventh, on a front from the River Lys to the sea. The whole forms the new Fourth Army under Duke Albert of Wurtemberg. His directions 'as summarized are "to close with the enemy, who is apdarently still en- gaged in concentrating and reorgan- izing his forces{ and beat him and 'gain Calais as the final objective of the 1914 campaign."

Army are to attack with increased energy on this day." These attacks led to the 10ss of Dixmude and further portions of Massines, Ridge, often overlooked be- when a decisive attack was made east of Ypres it broke down. The writer rather fails in his des- cription of Von Linsingen's attacks. Perhaps he does so an artistic sense, for like the jan Guard attack, the story begins brilliantly, gradually peters out, and ends tame- ly. Failure is, however, conclusively admitted, "No break through of the enemy's line had been accomplished. His num- erical superiority and more especially] our offensive. We had not succeeded in making a decisive break through and the dream of ending the cam-| paign in the west in our favor in 1914 had to be consigned to its grave." ; Strong Points Beat Guards. An interesting fact is given which that the line of small strong points, houses by Sir Douglas Haig's engin- eer, as there was no time to do more, marked the highwater mark of the guard attack. The Fourth Guards Brigade, it is said, stumbled on 'new fo A with strong wire entangle- with strong points. single file.

It is claimed that the Indian children were taught to place flowers in their hair, as well as twigs, leaves, .and other bits of foliage, and that they were able to move along the ground in such a stealthy manner that they were not' discernible to the rest of the tribe: Before a young buck could become | qualified as a warrior he had to make group of, General Fabeck is to main- i [hs approach to 0 ihe.

A man's reason for giving or refus- ing his vote are often subtle, as candi dates are"likely to discover. Take the authentic case, at a former elettion of an English county squire who solicited the support of a notor!- ous poacher whom_ he had once sent to prison. The man rerused. 'But that little poaching affair was years ago," urged the magistrate candidate; "let bygones be bygones." "It isn't because you sent me to jail," replied the man, "but the reason for which you did it. You said it was a rabbit I shot, and it was a hare. The man who don't know the difference between a rabbit and a hare isn't fit to sit in Parliament."

CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You me say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the sore- ness instantly, and soon the en corn, root and all, dries up and can lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was Introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that, while freezone is sticky, it dties in a moment, and sim- ply shrivels: up the corn without in- flaming or even Irritating the surround- tissue or skin.
