TERRIFIC FIGHTING RESULTS
IN SANGUINARY SLAUGHTER
PARIS, April 10.—The French
evacuated Bethincourt during the
past flight. At this point they have
maintained a defensive for exactly
seven weeks with very slight loss.
The advance of the Germans to the
right and'to the left of these outer
works forced an evacuation.
The Germans furiously attacked
the new line from Avoncourt to
Cumieres,, no less than twenty as
saults in thirteen hours boing re
pulsed by the French with sanguin
ary losses.
The awful record of slaughter
that was established before Doua
mont was again repeated, the dead
piling high In the almost desperato
efforts of the Germans to breali
through.
The charges began before day
break and as soon as it was discov
ered that the French batteries haa
located the German Infantry massed
during the night for concentrated at
tack. The carnage was stupendous
but the smashing drives of the Ger
mans against the positions melteu
away before the murderous machine
gun and masked battery fire of the j
French.
The losses will appreciably ada
to the sum total now recorded iu
this fearful battle.

important salient and which ulti
mately means the French evacua
tion of tho entire front.

WILL NOT REPORT ON
ORANDEIS CASE WEEK
WASHINGTON, I). C., April 10.—
It is announced th^t the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate will de
fer action on the Brandeis appoint
ment to the Supreme Court fo1- an
other week. The case is now over a
month with the Senate with no
action taken.
The dilatory tactics of tho Senate
committee reveals the tremendous
interests which have been literally*
hull-dozing the Senate into refusing
to confirm the appointment. The
report of the committee is certain
to precipitate a debate in tho Senate
which will be historic and epoch
making.

COST OF LIVING IS NOW
SKYROCKETING ALOFT
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 10.—
The costs of living are now advanc
ing to unheard of prices for the
people, necessities, all of them, sky
rocketting in remarkable shape,
especially for the past wock.
The people of the Unitod States
are now bidding against the peopia
of Europe for food products and in
consequence prices are getting fast
beyond the reach of tho average
man.
Potatoes, flour, meat, coreals of
all kinds, butter, eggs, and all food
stuffs are simply at famine prices
and still going up.
Although some Increase in wages
is reported in places, this is inade
quate to handle the situation.
The demands for food by the Eu
ropean belligerents is insatiable,
and now there is a strong agitation

for an embargo on all food stuffs.
This is not likely, as It would result
in an attack of such a measure by
tho farmers as well as the packers
and grain brokers, the packers and
tho grain brokers making fabulous
profits. If presont conditions con
tinue the plight of the workers will
become such that serious troubles
are certain. The rapid rise during
the past week in all foodstuffs is
most remarkable, some products ad
vancing fifty per cent in the sever
days.
