Yesterday olghty shells Tell In the
'.own, adding one more to the fresh
graves jn thc cemetery and increasing
the devastation. The villagers have
distinguished a new note lc the formi
dable concert playing all about them.
It is the voice of the big French guns
that have commenced pounding thc
southern forts of thc fortified camp
>f Metz. They know where they are ,
but no one mentions the name o? tue
ipot for o'lery Inhabitant of Pont-a- ;

"Each one in his turn." said a non- ,
omtnissloncd officer, dining off a half |
demolished table In a characteristic (
old provincial auberge across the \
bridge in the suburb of Saint Michel.
"Now they arc going to get theirs- j
ind how they aro going to get it, ;
though!"
"Tit for tat," ho added, to the land- |
lady coming in from the kitchen to '
serve him. Through the door she j
opened the kitchen was seen to bu \
open to thc sky. "lt doesn't matter
a bit when the weather's good," said ]
tho landlady. "In fact that old
range scorns to work better than
over In the open air. but when lt raino
lt kicks like sixty."
Thc kitchen In question had boen
visited by a 12-inch shell and all that
wa? left of it was the range and chim
ney. The partitions separating the
dining room and bar were riddled by
fragments. Tho bar Its?lf had had Ita
back broken and the tpblcs and chairs
were in various stages Of demolition.
"What a fright you muH have had."
said the sergeant.
"YeB." replied the simple Old lady.
"I was afraid the range was busted."
Such is the spirit of these frontier
folks who have been bombarded for
nine months and have witnessed some
of the momentous developments of the
.jlgantJc duel between the principal
opostng fortresses ot Metz and Ver
dun. Metz delivered the first blow.
Verdun ls now countering.
The berman armies Invading France
were unable to use their forces to thc
best advantage ov,?r BO short a front
is the boundary between Frauce and
Germany. That is one of tho rearms
.-riven by military experts for the vio
lation of the neutrality of belgium
by Germany. This strategical move
ment enabled them to pivot on Metz
ind Wheel around through Belgium
Into France over a vast front.
The GermsL left resting on Mets,
was at once engaged with the French
center resting on Verdun. The crown
prince's army, coming into France .by
way of Long wy, attacked Verdun on
two sides. It succeeded In demolish
ing Troyon. an Interval fort between
Verdun and Toul. but the only fort
around Verdun they, were ablo to at
tack was Douamont. and the French
claim not a shell struck home.
This bombardment was effected from
a sort of neutral zone to the north
which neither side has occupied-con
sisting of two small plateaus called
"LOB Jumelles de Ornes." The Gor
maos constructed a railroad behind
these plateaus, brought up guns by.
train. Bred a few shots, then drew
the guna end to Ulla'desultory attack
and since then the pressure on Ver
dun has gradually turned upon Metz.
Student? of the military operations
declare that the French have been
within, long range of the Sommy and
Wagne. forts for several weeks and
could have attacked them with heavy
artillery at the time they began bom
bard Inf the railroad linee at Aroa
ville, ilie entire-distance between
Verdun and Meta la only 127' miles.
It ia supposed that they were walt

The fortress of Metz, like that of
Verdun, ls aurronded by heights af
fording admirable protection and
coramindlnr long distances of ap
proaching gtound. In the time of Ute
Fi?ucu pOMVMion of Alsace-Lorraine
it was snpposed to be Ute strongest
fortified place on the frontier. Thc
Germans began to strengthen it im
mediately after 1871. The work waa
finished in 1890: Another transfor
mation, during which ? number of
new forts were hallt, began In 1800
and waa not yet completed at the out
break of the war.

REMARKABLE GASE
CF GOOD FORTUNE
WAN'S INSURANCE POLICY
EXPIRED FEW HOURS AF
TER HE WAS KILLED
VICTIM CYCLONE
His Policy Had Lapsed and Ca?h
Value of Same Had Been
Exhausted.
One of the most extraordinary ex
unplrs of fortune, good luck, or what
UT one might desire to call lt. with
eference to life Insurance that has
r*\^r been known in this part of the
odntry came lo light in tho recent cy
looe which swept several counties in
the eastern mut of the State, killing
l?verai persons and injuring others.
A man was killed when a stoue
lui liding was blown upon him by the
cyclone. He left a wife and several
children. AU the insurance he had
was a policy of $1.000 on one cowinnny
and a policy for $l.uoo in tho Mutual
Benefit Mic Insurance, which has of
fices of the general agent in this
slty. Tue policy for the large:
amount of Insurance expired but a few I
hours after the mari was killed. AB a
matter of fact, the policy had lapsed
because of non-payment of a premium
and because the cash value of the
tame had been exhausted by loans on
the same. It wau in force, howevor,
at the time of the party's death be
I :aUBe of tiie comnany'8 rules with re
ference to the payment of dividends.
In a letter to agents throughout the
State, Mr. M. M. Mat I ison, general
agent, recites the facts of this re
markable case, as follows:
Under dato of tho 8th Inst., our Mr.
E. O. Horton of Manning wrote aa
follows:
"In rc policy No. 573.905-D. B.
Davis.-I regret to report that as
surer was killed yesterday afternoon
at 4 o'clock In Btone building which
was destroyed In tho terrific, cyclone.
I note thnt assured's policy wan ox
tended until' May 7th, 1915, the exact
date of his death. Hesse advise
status of policy."
I'pon Investigation we found that n
policy for $1,000 was issued on the life
of Mr. Davis in 1911; f>at it lapsed
because of non-pnynient of premium
due October 1st, 19?4; that tho cash
value of thc policy hod been exhausted
nj? ?nan:', on same, but was In force at
time of party's death, because of our
rules in rcferoncc to tho payment of
dividends.
I'nder Mutual Benefit policios, divi
dends after thc first aro not condition
ed upon payment of premiums; so
when this policy lapsed tho company
automatically applied the dividends.
$14,104 regular, and $2.93 special, a
total of $17.57, as a credit os thc loan,
which as you can understand revived
or restored an equal amount nf the
cash value, which value was sufficient
to extend the policy for 218 days, or
through May 7. 1915. Tiie extended
insurance period therefore ext I red
Friday night. May 7. a few hours af
ter Mr. Davis was killcdl. Mr. Hor
ton has beeu Instructed tc make up
proofs of IOBB, and Just as quickly
SB possible wo will make settlement
with the beneficiary. Mrs. Sue Davis,
wife of th? deceased.
I wish to cali your attention to the
following points:
First-If our dividends were condi
tioned upon payment of, premiums
there would bave been no extended .ln
aurance.
Second-If we bad sent Mr. Davis
check for his dividends, instead of ap
plying them as a credit on his loan
and thereby giving him automatic ex
tended insurance, be would have had
no protneiion under this policy after
the expiration of the thirty days of
grace.
Third--But for our 1314 special
dividend the extended Insurance would
have expired before time of party's
death.
Fourth-If after applying the divi
dends of $17.57 as a credit on thc
loan, the company had applied even
dollars, in other words, $17.00, aa
most companies would have done, to
the extension cf thc insurance, this
policy would not have been In force
on last Friday afternoon.
Fifth-It is unnecessary to say that
If this had been a non-rartlclo?>.ttng
policy there would have been no ex
tension whatever and no protection
after the expiration of thc usual thirty
days of grac.
This is one of the most striking
cases wc have ever experienced In
our wholo career; it illustrates in no
uncertain way the quality cf Mutual
Benefit insurance; and will be of un
told benefit to you in your efforts to
convince the Insuring public that the
Mutual Benefit is absolutely In a class
to Itself.
