What the War Moves Mean

ager of the United Press.

German battle fronts 10 their point
OF contact where the southern side
Of the square meets the western. This
is the angle formed by the oise and
Aisne rivers. II is here that the al
lies report they are meeting with the
most determined resistance and can
not make headway.
Success naturally follows from the
new German alignment. II the Ger
mans are pierced at the angle OF the
two battle fronts, both lines Will be
broken. The army whose front ex-
tends northward would be separated
from the battle front running to the
east and both might be thrown back
in rout. It is possible Won kiuek's
present duty, 10 chiefly to hold TINS
anole at all costs, leaving the dtree-
tion Of the new northern battle line to
Won eoehm.
The problem now before the allies
in more difficult one than II was
when the battle Of the Aisne began.
TO pierce battle front az skt''fuiy
entrenched az the Germans are, re-
ouires far greater power than to turn
flank. n the German right wing has
been merged into an extended line
running to Belgium, direct assau''
must be made by the allies, unless

THE ANGELUs.

In the year 1862 st. Bonaventure,
at that time General of the Fran
ciscans, commanded his friars, at the
general chapter of his order in
Pisa, TO promulgate the following
devotion among the people; That at
the sound OF the evening bell, which
In Rome and throughout Italy Is
rung half an hour after sunset. they
should recite three Ave Marias In
honor Of the mystery of the incaTna-
ton. The same was afterward
ordered also for morning and noon.
This was the origin Of the Angelus
which now peals forth from every
church and convent tower. From
the great Cathedral, over the din OF
the city streets, from the little viii
lage chapel. over the quiet fields and
lanes. those sweet bells sound like
celestial voices. filling the air with
the music Of the angels message. and
the soul with thoughts and aspira-
tions that like angel wings lift Il
heayenward.

of so remarkable a prophecy. He
has even fixed the exact time and
place in Rome when the saint re-
ceived his vision. The same author
tells us that the pious Irishman gave
the manuscript to Innocent III. to
console him in the midst of his
tribulations.
One of the quaintest commentaries
on the prophecy is that of the Rev.
Fere Michel Gorgeu, o. C. c., of the
Monastery of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel In 1869, at Dieppe, he pub
lished his Interpretation of the
prophecy and some of his explana-
tions of the mystical titles is nothing
short of amazing. Here is a typical
elucidation by him of one of st.
Malachy's prophecies, in which he
said that one of the Popes would be
"de rure Abbot the Alban
(white) country. The Pope In
question turned out to be Adrian
w., and Pere Michel explains:
Adrian Nv. was the only English
man that has ever succeeded to the
chair of st. Peter; he was born in
the vicinity of st. Adams. England
was called Albion on account of heI
white rocks and white cliffs. Adrian
was born at Malmesbury, a village
depending on st. Adams. He was
consecrated Bishop of Alba. He was
sent as legate to Norway, a country
where there is almost perpetual
snow. The holy candor and in.
nocence of his soul, acknowledged
by Eugenius ILL.,, who sent him ia
the North to convert souls to Jesus
Christ"

The spectacle lasted only five min
