GERMANS MAKING
 NEW STAND
General Gallieni Says France May Now Move Capital
 Back To Paris.
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
 Paris, Sept. 14.-The routed German army is now slackening it's pace, preparatory to reorgan- izing for a new defensive stand.
 The Germans are now evacu- ating northeast France and Bel gium and are concentrating on the border of Germany to resist an invasion by French and Eng fish forces.
 The Germans are covering their retreat by fighting all a. long the rear lines. Their lines are closing up and today they have made the strongest resist .ance to attacks on their rear than at any time since the rout began.
 The Allied armIeS are bringing great pressure against the Ger man lines of communication through Luxemberg and the ter ritory south.
 General Gallieni says that the French capital can return any time to Paris and sent Paris de- |fense troops to aid in driving the Germans across the border.
 It is rumored that General Von Der Goltz, German military governor of Belgium, has pre- sented peace proposal at Ant werp, which was rejected.

clearly and decisively shown by the fact that not one of them has been enrolled in St. Paups Sunday School or been admitted to membership in St. Paul's church. Of thirteen boys who recently took a hiking trip with MT. Heaton, only one was a member of the Episcopal church.
 That the influence of the work being done would be of even greater power if the pastors and members of these other churches would come forward to lend a hand in it, is undoubtedly the case. A fair and honest oppor- tunity for united effort by the churches of Newport is offered by St. Paul's Parish House.
 A most sincere invitation is extended to the members of the various churches of Newport who are really interested in a broad, intelligent and conserva- tive effort to reach the people, ans. particularly the boys and girls, to meet at the Parish House Wednesday evening for a discussion of methods. Just and Honest critics will find that their counsel and cooperation will be appreciated in the conference. Please come.

A New Idea of Church Work.

When any organization enters upon the task of attempting to reach all phases of life in a com nunity for the purpose of help ing those who may be in need of such help as can be rendered it's motives are apt to be questioned, and it's methods criticised. More particularly is this true of a church which does not confine is activities to it's own member ship.
 That institutional church work along the broadest possible lines may be carried on without interference with the activities of other religious bodies is close
 y evidenced by the experience of the Rector of St. Paul's church during the summer. Connected with the Parish House work are for organizations of boys and girls of a community club na- ture and type. The Knights of
 King Arthur with twenty-six
 members. has five members
 from the Episcopal church, the
 others attending the Sunday Schools of other bodies. The Queens of Avalon with a still larger, membership, shows a.
 bout the same percentage of church affiliation. Boy Scout Troop No. 2, with is headquar- ters in the Parish House, does not contain a single member of St. Pauls church or Sunday School, all of the boys being faithful attendants at the Sum- day Schools of the other church. es.
 That no direct influence ex- ists to render the children in these organizations dissatisfied with their religious teachings is
