“In the battle of Charleroi,

in May, r»l7, the cnsii.dty percent

*‘There are sei oral reasons foi
this. First, wv have a greater
amount of war material. We have
more guns than we did at the be-
ginning. Our gas and liquid fire
s stronger than that ot the enemy.
Wv can now hurl more hand and
rifle grenades at the Germans than
er before. In other words, we
are now able to out-Geruian the
Germans.
“Nearly 1,900,000 shells a day
were fired by the Anglo-French
guns in the recent otfensive in
Flanders.
“Furthermore, our officers have
made progress in tactics. We have
not fought for three y ears without
learning something. The I- tench
plan, you know, is that of gaining
ground at the lowest price in man
power.
•'Finally the enlisted men arc
better able to take cate "f them-

appreciable effect in lowering the

F. J. ("honey & Co., Toledo, O.
Waurika, Okla.—Attacked by
seven leopards during the parade
here Saturday morning, Miss Mar-
tha Florence, animal trainer with
a circus, was almost torn to pieces.
She was taken to the home of a lo-
cal physician, where it was an
noiineed there was slight chance of
her recovery.
The most vicious of the leopards
attacked Miss Florence about
three weeks ago. but she escaped
that time without a scratch.
It was while the parade was go
ing through the streets of W’auri-
ka Saturday morning that the
leopard attacked her again. There
were seven of the brutes in the
caged wagon, the other six immed-
iately joining in the attack. Men
rusheil to the girl’s assistance
from every direction. The six fol-
lowers were beaten back with
prongs ami elephant hooks, but
it was not until the leader
twisted until it broke that
released his hold on the girl s
body.
As the lifeless leopard dropped
to the bottom of the cage bis com-
rades turned on him, and Miss
Florence was dragged from the
cage. It was discovered that only
the corset she was wearing had
saved her life, in case she recovers.
Iler hips, legs, arms, right breast
face and back were torn almost
into shreds, hut all vital organs
were saved by the corset.
Immediately behind the cage of
leopards rode Miss Mabel Stark,
in n den of lions. The smell of
blood just in front of them set the
lions wild and they attacked their
keeper, but she was extricated
without serious injury. .
