THE FRENCH BELIEVE
VERDUN IS SAFE
*
CLAIM IS MADE THAT THE
GERMANS HAVE
GIVEN UP.
Verdun, the bone of contentior
over which so much blood was shec
and so much ammunition was wast
ed, according to late dispatches
is still Bafe and shows no ill
effect of "the terrific attacks by the
Germans. The French claim thal
Verdun tactics must succeed anc
are confident that the Germans have
about given up the job of captur
ing it. A writer for the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate in a review
of what was accomplished by the
Germans says that during the first
week of their attack upon Verdun,
a considerable gain was made by
the assailants. Four weeks latex
the further gain was slight in com
parison. Within the first week
nearly all of the low ground to the
north and northeast of the plateau
on which Verdun stands had been
occupied by the Germans. They
had penetrated to Douaumont and
to Vaux, the village of the first
named and its fort passing into
their hands, and their assault had
reached the village of Vaux. There
followed a series of attacks in the
Woevre country, mostly marsh, to
the southeast of the Verdun plateau.
Again the advance was checked at
the foot of the hill.' Transferring
the attack west of the Meuse, the
Germans gained along the river
bank, but were checked by a long
ridge, the southern extremity of
which, known as the Dead Man, is
south of'Bethincourt. That part of
the ridge which lies nearest the
German lines was taken, but the
southern extremity is still in
French hands. Except along the
river little was accomplished. The
Teutons then attacked in the direct
ion of Avocourt, still farther west
ward, and gained ground there, cre
ated a sailent to the north of Dead
Man hill at Malancourt. Concentrat
ing their fire on three sides the
Germans on Friday morning took
Malancourt. At the 'present time
the assault is beyg pressed on
Vaux as well as at Malancourt. If
Dead Man hill can be captured and
a foothold simultaneously be gain
ed on the Verdun plateau at Vaux,
the French defenders of the north
ern Meuse entrance to the hill will
be subjected to a frontal and a
flank fire at the same time, and the
position will be maintained with
difficulty. The French are confident
that the Germans cannot advance
farther and that if such an ad
vance were made, an unbroken front
would still remain. The Germans
are equally confident of gaining this
point and declare that if Verdun
is won the whole French line from
Reims to the borders of Lorraine
at Nancy must fall back.
ANOTHER SCOOP.
The Dream theatre has just clos
ed contracts which will bring to
Ketchikan some of the greatest com
edies ever put on the screen. Any
one that has ever made a trip to
Seattle has seen the great 2-reel
special Keystone comedies that are
run at the Liberty theatre only.
These same comedies will soon ap
pear on the screen at the Dream.
The people here are already familiar
with the single reel Keystone com
mies that make the Sunday nights
so popular, so when the 2-reel spec
ials arrive they will see the great
sst comedians of the day, Mable
Vormand, Fatty Arbuckle, Raymond
Hichcock, and last but not least Sid
Chaplin, who is fast following in
:he footsteps of his brother Charles.
Along with this will come the Mu
:ual masterpieces, the features that
»re next to Paramount. They are
»ll in four, five -and six reels, and
consist of such great pictures as
‘Dope,” "Damaged Goods,” "Inspir
»tion,” "The Net,” "The Thorough
»red,” etc. “Damaged Goods” ran
for two weeks at the Seattle Clem
mer which proves it's quality. Watch
for the first special Keystone com
edy and the first Mutual master
piece at the Dream, the home of the
big features. (adv.)

: MORALE OF FRENCH
ARMY WONDERFDI
COL. -REPINGTON PRAI&ES THI
NOBLE^WOMEN OF THAT
COUNTRY.
LONDON, April 10.—“Mon corpi
a la terre.
“Mon ame a Dieu.
“Mon coeur a France.”
(My body to the ground. Mj
soul to God and my heart f<
France.)
These three lines were found
by Col. Repington, the military ex
pert of the London Times, and th<
writer of this article; scribled or
the wooden casing of a bomb prooi
in a first line trench in France
within pistol shot of the enemy.
They were just the penciled
thoughts of a poilu, (common sol
dier) but how rare! How pathetic!
How beautiful!
Of all the truly wonderful things
in this wonderful war most assur
edly the morale of the French
army is the most wonderful of all.
Think of it. Twenty months of de
vastating war; one French woman
out of every three in mourning;
many of the fair departments and
the best of the French black
country in the hands of the
enemy; no end of the war discern
ible by the wit of man; regiments
renewed from top to bottom, not
once but many times; the na
tional life suspended; the savings
of half a century thrown into the
melting pot, and yet here, in close
and deadly conflict with a numer
ous and still formidable enemy,
that inestimable, that most pre
cious of treasures, morale of the
army, wholly untarnished.
Rather, with each call upon the
generous race, the morale rises. To
the ever-rising demands France re
plies with ever-rising spirit. She
has been great before, but never
surely, so great as now.
“Rather than accept slavery at
German hands,” said General de
Castelnau to the writer, “the
French race will die upon the bat
tlefield.” And so in very truth it
will.
In the mighty fires of war this
grand old race has lost all sense of
self and selfishness. It is abso
lutely united; it is determined.
If lightness was ever its bane,
there is something to be said for
the lightness which causes spirits
to rise superior to all misfortunes
and look fate gayly in the face. In
the face of death there is a smile
of confidence for the stranger who
passes by and a cheery word; and
an unmistakable sense of superior
ity to the enemy.
The poilu knew before any one
else that the Bosche was beaten.
He knew it by instinct—by instinct
and by practice of war for more
than 2,000 years.
The exemplary fortitude of the
women of France, the mothers and
wives; their signal patience and
silence in great sorrow arid never
ceasing anxiety has been the foun
dation of a great revival. If dec
orations have the charm which
some attribute to them, surely the
cross with the blood-stained laurel
wreath has been deserved by every
mother and wife of .France whose
son or husband died in the fight
ing, and that cross, with the dead
poilu’s casque, would remain for
ages to come the most cherished
heirloom of the family. He died,
they will say, in the great cam
paign which was fought to pre
serve the honor of France and the
liberties of Europe from German
savagery.
