Gods Gift of Repentance.

God has many ways Of reaching hui
man hearts. The one who refuses to
attend the house Of God and listen to
the preaching of the gospel may be
reached by some unexpected message
read or spoken, and, unawares, the
word may find Judgment in the heart,
awakening thought and emotion and
leading TO repentance. Bereavement
may come, and in the breaking up of
the heart and life the spirit OF God
may sink the truth deep down into
the very soul

character and exposure of the room

which the printed cretonnes will not

tory. They possess the great merit
of being inexpensive, they are cheer

AUSTRiANS AGAIN DEFEATED
Cars Soldiers Win Brilliant Victory
After Bitter Battle Lasting
Four Days.

London, Aug. 31.-The great battle
that has ragged for four days in the
province Of Lubin, Russian Poland,
has resulted in an Overwhelming de-
feat for the Austrian army, accord
ing to advices which reached here
from Rome. The message came from
Sofia, Bulgaria, in a dispatch to the
Messagero at Rome.
"The Austrians have suffered an
irreparable defeat at Zambose, fifty
miles southeast of Lubin," reads the
dispatch.
Earlier dispatches tended to relieve
the apprehension of the allies that the
Russian advance had been checked.
Dispatches from st. Petersburg said
that the Muscovites had turned the
Russian defensive into an offensive
action.
Meanwhile the Russians are under
stood to be making renewed assaults
on the German army in East Prussia.
Word came from the German source
of a defeat suffered by the Russians.
A Berlin dispatch stated that 10000
Russian soldiers and a number of
high officers had been captured. 1t
is believed that this refers to the re-
versal said to have been inflicted on
Russian arms in East Prussia in the
neighborhood of Ortelsburg, Hohen-
stein and T~annenburg.

DECLARES MiKADO WILL NOT
HELP ALLIES FIGHT IN EUROPE

New York, Aug. 31.-Japan can not
send troops to Europe to assist the
allies in the fighting there, although
she stands ready to help them in the
far East, according to the japanese
consul general here, Takashi Naka-
mura.
"Our agreement with Great Brit
ain," said the counsel general, "is
such that she need have no fear of
removing her troops from India to
the war zone. That agreement binds
Us to protect the interests of Great
Britain In such an emergency, and the
agreement includes India and China.
"ln the event of Turkeys getting
into this war, which is not SO promis-
ing as it may seem, Japan would send
to India a sufficient force to keep
down any uprising of the natives that
might be fomented by Turkish or Ger
nan interests. Such a movement of
japanese troops is covered in the
agreement.
Ion the other hand, we can not
send troops to the war in Europe, no
matter what the fortunes of the allies
may be. In the first place, our agree
ment does not call for aid in that
direction, in the second place, it would
be almost impossible to get enough
troops into the war zone to be of any
service at the last desperate cry for
help"

GERMANS DRAG GUNS
OVER THEIR OWN DEAD

London.-The correspondent Of the
Daily Mail describes a visit among the
French who were wounded in the bat
ties Of the Vosges and have been
brought to Vichy, where the hotels
have been transformed into hospitals.
A wounded artilleryman contributed
the following experience:
i witnessed one horrible scene. The
Germans were shooting from the deep
trenches among which our artillery
was doing terrible work. But as fast
as a German dropped a fresh man
took his place until bodies of the Ger
mans were on a level with the surface
of the earthworks.
AT this moment a German battery
was ordered 10 advance. The heavy
wheels sank in the trench. but the
drivers furiously dashed their horses
and finally dragged the guns across
the human bridge"
