"It is reported from tlie front that the
storming of Termilen hill is considered
to have been a classical example of per
fect co-operation between the infantry
and the artillery. Therefore the Ger
man hisses were exceedingly small while
the French met with losses which were
appalling.
"The French losses were further in
creased because French troops who bad
been overrun by the German infantry
in its storm attack and who had dis
posed of t heir arms and raised their hamW
in token of surrender afterwards took up
their arms again and attacked the Ger

troops were all kilenS in combat by em

Faris, April 10. The Germans contin
ued their attacks last night in the Ver
dun region east and west of the Meuse
over a front thirteen miles long from
Hill No. 304 to Fort Douiiumont. The
war olliee announcement this afternoon
says: "In the lighting west of the river
for possession of Dead Man's Hill the
Germans were repulsed except on a front
ot 5D0 yards near Hill 29.). hast of tlie
river the German assault gained no ap
preciable results.
Bethincourt Salient Evacuated by
French.
The French evacuated the Bethincourt
salient Saturday night and the Germans
on Sunday attacked with great violence
their new line from Avocourt to Cum
icres but were repulsed with sanguinary
losses. At one point, northeast of Avo
court, the Germans succeeded in entering
the trench trenches and from this posi
tion they were immediately ejected
through a counter-attack, according to
the French official .communication issued
last night. The communication said:
"In the Argonne our artillery concen
trated its hie on the enemy s coiniminiea
lions. Our heavy batteries during these
operations shelled a sector in the neigh
borhood where important troop gather
ings and columns on the march were ob
served in the region of Montfaueon and
Xnntillois. Xear Hill 283 we exploded a
mine which crumbled the enemy strength
for a considerable length and destroyed a
small post,
"To tlie west of the Meuse a violent
battle which lasted the entire day was
engaged on the whole of the front from
Avocourt to Cumicrea and even spread
to the eastern bank of the river.
"The premature evacuation of the
Hethinemirt salient which was carried
out last night has enabled us to es
tablish a continuous line, beginning t
the Avocourt corner and running along
the first woody slopes to the west of
Hill 304, then along the southern bank
of the Forges brook to the northeast of
Haueourt, and reaching our positions a I
little to the south of the crossing of the
roads of Hctliineouit-Esnes and Bethin-court-Chattancourt.
"The whole line was violently attack
ed by the enemy, but withstood the fierc
est onslaught. .
'On the front of Le Mort Homme
Cumieres the German attack met with
a sanguinary setback. The attacking
columns which delKmched in close for
mation from the Cumieres wood were
caught under the lire of our mitraille
uses and artillery and dispersed, leaving
liehind hundreds of bodies on the ground.
''.All attempts against Le Mort Ilomuie
were also repulsed with heavy losses.
"A simultaneous offensive movement
against our positions between the Avo
court wood and the Forges brook met
with fierce resistance on the part of our
troops which everywhere repulsed the en
emy. Finally, the enemy through an at
tack against one of our works to the
northeast of Avocourt at the southern
outskirts of the wood succeeded momen
tarily in gaining a foothold in our
trenches, but were thrown out at once
through a counter stack.

London, April 10. Preparations are
well under way for the next British at

surrounded by lurks at hut-hl-Amara
Mesopotamia. This attack is to be
made, according to the British plans,
against bannavjat, on the ligris, ta.
short distance above Felahie, which was
recently won from the Turks. Improved

London, April 10. A dispatch to the
Morning I'ot from Budapest, says:
Count Tisa. the Hungarian premier.
and Baron Burian, the Austrian foreign
minister, are expected to resign. The
Tisa government is expected to fall ow
ing to the opposition of Austria-Hungary
and Turkey to the promised German plan
of establishing a customs union and eco
nomic federation between the central
powers and their allies.
"According to reports in Budapest.
lount lisza has already been summoned
to the royal palace and informed bluntly
by Kmpcror Francis Joseph that he would
be dropped unless he consented to tlie
scheme for a customs union. It is said
that Count Tisza stubbornly refused to
budge, and it is expected that when the
ministry falls he will take up the lead
ership of the opposition to any ministry
supporting the customs union project."

Washington. D. C April 10. Over
night dispatches from Funston to the
war department, made public to-day by
Secretary Baker, were summarized in tne
following statement:
The latest dispatch from Pershing,

according to General Pershing's report to
General Funston yesterday. the offer
was made to the aviators who landed in
Chihuahua last week.
General Pershing's report did not pass
over the telegraph lines, however, but
was transmitted via aeroplane and wire
less routes to Columbus. The report was
sent from some part of the field of oper
ations, the locality bf which was with'
held here.
The drivers of the aeroplanes that vis.
ited Chihuahua sail! they had been treat'
ed courteously bv General Guitercz, the
commanding officer at Chihuahua, after
it was demonstrated that they had come
on a tnendiy mission, aitiiougn. ueiore
that fact was determined by the alarmed
public a few stones had been thrown at
them and a shot or two fired. No one
was injured.
General Pershing said some supplies
had been purchased at Chihuahua and
that there appeared no disposition on the
part of those with stores to withhold
their goods, but that the limited amount
of supplies at Chihuahua at present made
it almost impossible to get provisions.
MORE TROOPS FOR EL PASO.
Two Infantry Battalions Were Sent from
Fort Bliss.
El Paso, Tex., April 10. Local olfl
ciaJs in F.l l'aso made representations
yesterday to the military authorities and
two infantry battalions were sent from
Fort Bliss last night to act as reserves
to the patrols who are on guard every
night in the principal streets here. The
police officials said they fear trouble with
Mexicans in Juarez.
Tlie one real basis for any opprehen
sion here that is discoverable is the fact
that a number of Villistas and other
representatives of the anti-American fac
tion in Mexico are spreading the wildest
reports among'the peons and soldiers m
Juarez in the hope ot causing an out
break. Juarez is seethinc with the weird
est stories of the hostile intentions ot
the Americans and rumors of great vic
tories over the I'nited States soldi! rs
won by Villa. The Carranza officials
are doing their best to suppress these
stories.
That the alarmists are not receivin:
much credence among the American ret
ogees here is evidenced by the fact that
number of fne latter have already re
turned to Mexico and others are prepar
ing to do so.

Few, very few, have been spiritual lead
ers like unto Moses and Joshua in abil
ity, in character, in obedience to God and
in the splendid results achieved. The
lesson, however, that we wish to draw
to-day is that there is a similarity in
this respect, that churches change their
pastors at times and we believe it is
often for the best good of all concerned.
Xo one man sees all accomplished that
he desires to see in any church that he
works and prays for; no one man can
satisfy all the people. Even a Moses
failed to do that with all, for there were
those who ever continued to criticise and
to murmur. If a pastor is what he ought
to be he is glad to see some Joshua suc
ceed him who may lead on the people to
a Canaan of success. Hut to do this
there is need not only for a chosen Josh
ua, but the people must be united in
their work under him. they must have
faith in their leader and be ready to fol
low him; and, most important of all,
they mnst be willing to obey ( Jod. Many

whose presence, if you will but do His

the plains of Midian. God spoke to him
in the burning buh; it was so with
Moses, when he stood liefore Pharaoh
and God honored his work in miraculous
ways; it was so when the soul of Mosea
went up from Pisgah's summit to meet
his God; it was so, too. when Joshua
came to take the leadership; so it has
ever been if those who profess the name
of Christ will, for the love of Him and in
His name, do His holy will. His presence
goes with them and that to bless. It
h.is Wen so in the past and so it ever
will lie in this church, with its record of
over 120 years of service, with a noble
line of ministers and so manv godly men
and women in the pew. If all will strive
to do their part, a still greater future
awaits you.
My prayer for vii and vour new

hacking her throat, left hand and wrist
and left knee with a potato paring knife.
According to Police Surgeon Loins K.
Cassels, who was called to the Wahl
strom home, the suicide was one of the
most pitiable in Worcester in a long
time.
Relatives of the woman are alleged tj
have told the police that she had been .
brooding for some time over gossip aboub
herself which she is said to have over
heard in her place of employment. She
was melancholy early yesterday, and
while members were in another part of
the house she slipped into the bathroom
and put an end to her life.

Hitch with Polishers
Resumption.
Quincy, Mass.. April. 10. The hopes of
the general public that the differences
between the granite manufacturers and
the several branches of workmen had
been settled by the manufacturers agree
ing before the state board of arbitration
for a five-year bill, were dashed to tlo
ground, when it was given out that the)
committees from the manufacturers and
polishers' union, who had been in session
during Friday afternoon, had failed to
agree and at adjournment were dead
locked. The general public had been led to be
lieve that everything bad been settled
with the exception of a few minor mat
ters between the manufacturers and pol
ishers. Apparently, however, things hud
not been settled.
The two committees, which met Friday
afternoon, struck a snag on section 4.
This provides that every journeyman
was to receive an increase in wages, ac
cording to the increa: in minimum rate.
I'nder the old bill of prices the mini
mum wage for the polishers was $SM.t
per day. It was said, however, thnt fully
40 per cent of the polishers were receiv
ing from 50 to 7.1 cents per day ocr and
above the minimum wage. The new
minimum wage calls for $4 per day,
which lias been agreed upon between tha
manufacturers and polishers.
The trouble arose, however, over, the
polishers demanding that they should re
ceive the same relative increase in daily
wage under the new- bill as tinder the old
bill. In brief this meant that if th
minimum wage was $4 fully 40 per cent
would tie entitled to receive a daily wage
of from $4.50 to $4.7."i per day.
This the manufacturers objected to.
They submitted the following clause t
cover this point.
"A workman once having accepted pay,
his rate will be established and can only
he chanced by mutual consent between
the employer and employe. The rate in
no case to he below the established mini
mum rate." v
