THE BATTLE OF VERDUN,

IRRESISTIBLE FURY OF THS FRENCH.

FARI, March 16th,

1:45 French officers say it is most difficult to restrain the mea, who are anxious to attack, but there have been opportunities when the French infantry charged with irresistible fury. Such was the caso in the fight for Corbeaux wood, where the Ger man advance threatened to cut off the French holding Oio Hill,

The action began at noon on Wednesday. The French, advancing in the opon, were most elever in taking cover, and they lost insignificantly, despite the Gorman uhell ing. But there was desperate close-quar tor fighting inside the wood, the French being absolutely frenzied,

However that may be. in the South, it is clear that north of the Twoed the Order is insuficient to bring home the national duty of temperance in the present great crisis," said Lord d'Aber. non at the Liquor Control Board Confer- Tence at Glasgow,

He compared the convictions for drunk- enness for the four weeks ended December 10th with the figures for the four weeks. before the Order came into force. These showed the following decreases.

in England the average decrease per town had been nearly 50 por cent.; im Scotland it was only 6 per coit. What was the reason of that comparative failure I had been reported by men in authority that the treating prohibition had been evaded or deliberately broken. Some of the licence holders were observing it, but it would appear that many were not.

In four of the most drunken towns in England the weekly convictions were now at the rate of 1.12 per 10,000 of the popu Intion; in four leading twas in Scotland the rate was 3.2-nearly three times as great Whether drunkenness was normal er not in the Glasgow district, it was clear that it was excessive and was a great bar to efficiency. It might be said that the police standard in Scotland was different.. That was true-it was less severe, and that made the comparison less favourable for Scotland.

A NEW HUNT FOR GOLD.

Urgent appeals are now appearing to the Press for the sacrifice for the Father

land of all "uld-fashioned" jewellery and ornaments. The inspired articles contain Jepials of all rumours to the effect that the official returns of good in the Imporis! Bank are untrustworthy, and explain the new appeals with the argument that the war may last a long time, and that a great deal of gold will be wanted after the conclusion of peace. The appeals say!—

There must be in every family old golden ornaments, which, some of them injured and broken, some of them antiquated and useloss, represent dead values. Rings, brooches, chains, tobacco-bores, necklaces, bracelets, tle-pina, spoons, cups, candle sticks He about in drawers and cupboards,

and in most casce possing only the value of
