BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, 8taff Correspondent The International News Service. PARIS, March 15.

British warships lying off the Belgian coast have been directing a hot fire against the German positions, near Ostend. It is reported that Lille has been bombarded by British artillery. Rhelma and Soussons have been under German Are again. British forces lying near La Bassee continue to exert tremendous pressure against the Germans. Counter-attacks delivered by the Germans in great force have been repulsed and the invaders have lost heavily.
Private advices state that General Joffre, commander in chief of ' ' the French : army, ' had a " narrow escape from - death 'while watching 1 experiments with' a new explosive. An officer standing beside General Joffre was killed and the French commander sustained painful injuries to his' right arm. r ' CZAR ON WESTERN FRONT. " PETROGRAD,' March 15.

PINS ON CHART SHOW SECTIONS RECEIVING HELP Charity Map Refutes Theory . That White Plague Stalks on Heels of Poverty, Says Melpolder. ... A map of Richmond, black with pins showing the location of cases helped by the Central . Charity bureau and affiliated organizations and the visiting nurse, has been completed. The work was done Saturday by Miss Easterllng and Miss Clark, Earl
ham students. It became so difficult and bo painful to their, hands, that Secretary Melpolder brought In
thimbles to push the pins in the board. The map is similar to the tubercu
losis map recently completed and pub
lished. Each case is represented by a small blacK-headed pin. By the use of the pins in locating cases, the
relation of each case to the other
can be seen. Compares Two Maps.
Secretary Melpolder declared that
the map is a ttrong argument against the belief that tuberculosis follows
poverty.
"By comparing the two maps, I find that the tuberculosis neighborhoods are those built up of old brick houses,"
Mr. Melpolder said. "It is therefore housing conditions that tuberculosis can be traced by. The poverty stricken who have lived in frame houses,
even though old and of cheap con
struction, get better ventilation and usually the houses are not in as much danger of. being infected by germs. "Another thing the map shows is the fact that charity aid is given in groups. In the good neighborhood,
the map shows a single pin at intervals but in other neighborhoods the pins run In groups of two to six or more. This shows that when one of the cases is started, it is communicatee to a neighbor who finally succumbs to the temptation to ask for charity. In the better neighborhoods, the people are self conscious and do not communicate the fact that they received charity to otherB." The cases cover every part of the city. No street is entirely free from casea except In the extreme western part of the city where new streets are opened and not yet settled. There are 030 pins on the map. This does not include forty-three homeless men who were helped by the bureau or its affiliated organizations.
HITS NATURAL GAS ON MAGAW LAND
While diKKinr a well on the farm
of Wilson Magaw, about two miles
south or the city, workmen struck a strong flow of natural gas at a dents
of 183 feet. The pressure of the flow
or gas from the well was so strong that a large brace of timbers had to be constructed to cut It off. An expert gas well man from Centervllle was called to the farm, and estimated that the flow of gas had a pressure of 200 pounds. Explosive caps were prepared this afternoon, and these will be shot Into the well in the hope of opening a large pocket of gas.

TOWN LOSES PLEA
TO DE-HEAR TRIAL
Judge Fox Tests Wire Used
to Blockade Streets of H&erstown. A motion of attorneys for the town of Hagerstown for a new trial In the suit brought by Catherine Morton, was lost in circuit court today and the town's attorneys Immediately took steps (o bring the salt to appellate court In overruling the motion. Judge Fox was not inclined to accept the evidence brought out by the town's witnesses. Mrs. Morton was struck across the face by a wire while riding in an automobile, and it is unreasonable to believe the woman would have struck the obstruction had the town marked it properly, the judge said. The judge said nine juries out of ten would award the plaintiff damages and most of them would hold for more than $200, the amount given Mrs. Morton. He advised the attorneys to pay the damages as a transcript would cost the town $150 before the case could be brought to the higher court. In order to decide on the mation for a new trial. Judge Fox said, he ordered various grades of wire and found that a No. 9 galvenized iron wire is more difficult to see than the witnesses for the town indicated. His
examination of the wire was part of the influence which caused the decision against the retrial.
LAY OUT DRIVES.
