rhrow OUT the Lie Line.

One Sunday evening in his own
church, DR.. Newman Hall was deliv-
ering a written sermon on temptation,
and suddenly felt that his address was
unlike his usual style, and too argu-
mentative for many of the people.
He suddenly paused, looked away from
his manuscript, and, appealing with a
loud voice to the more distant Of the
audience, said: perhaps among those
pressing In at the door there may be
someone so miserable as to think Of
throwing himself over yonder bridge,
saying, perhaps: It's too late to tell
me not to enter into temptation. I
have done 1t; ! am in 1t. There's no
hope for me- Stop! Stop. There is
hope. Christ died for thee. He will
pardon, he will save, even thee!" A
few weeks afterwards n of the mem
bers of his church told him that he
had called to see a woman who had
made up her mind to throw herself
over Blackfriars bridge n Sunday
evening, but she thought it was too
light, and a policeman might stop her;
so in order to wait for the darkness
she went into the church and stood In
the crowd inside the door. Standing
there it seemed to her that Doctor
Hall had called to her directly to stop
and come to Christ, and she went back
to her home to pray, and became Q
true and happy Christian.

GERMANS INTRENCH FOR new Battle
AUSTRIA ADMITS VICTORY FOR RUSSIANS
GERMAN CRUISER SUNK BY The ENGLISH
100000 Fresh
French Troops
For the Chase

Paris.-Having saved the bulk of
its army by a retreat that at certain
portions bordered on a rout, the Ger
man General Staff is now trying to
reorganiZe for a defensive stand so
that another offensive weapon can
be whipped into shape.
All of the information received
here indicates that the German fight
is slackening speed.
The German rear guard is contest
ing every step of the way. The lines
have been closed up and their resis-
lance is reported much stronger than
at any time since the retreat began.
The Germans are plainly evacuat-
ing all of the northwest of France
and Belgium, preparing for a general
concentration in the east either to
resume the aggressive, should the AL
lies show evidences that their own
rapid movements have also handicap
ped them, or for a defence of the
German Empire itself all along the
frontier.
There is nj attempt here in Paris
to delude any one with a belief that
because of the great victory of the
battle of the Marine the war is over.
Meanwhile Gen. Gallieni is sending
the most of his army of the defence
of Paris, 100000 men, to REINFORCE
the French forces now fighting des-
perately to drive the Germans back
across the eastern frontier.

WAR NEWS TOLD
IN TABLOID FORM

The German centre prepared to resist
the pursuing Allies at a point north
of Rheims, in France, while the
left took its stand along the Aisne
River. q
London reported that the Allies
crossed the Aisne River, despite
stubborn German resistance.
An official Paris statement said thu
Allies were harassing the rear
guards and main bodies of the re-
treating Germans at all points.
A French aviator, who viewed the
retreat of the Germans from high
above the Marine, said the flight
resembIed a rabbIe.
The Germans under Gen. Won der
GoItz began to ~evacuate Brussels
in order, it is thought, to cover the
retreat of the kaiser's forces from
France.
The latest statement Of casualties Is
sued in Berlin place the total of
killed, wounded and missing at
1929.
Twenty-one train loads of war NUM-
tions captured from the Germans
were brought to Paris.
An Official statement issued In Paris
said the Germans had evacuated
Amiens and were abandoning much
equipment in their retreat all along
the line of battle.
Gen. Joffre, the French COMMANDMENTS
Chief, reported an ~"undeniable vic
tory" for the Allies as a result of
the five days battle before Paris.
Advices from %Petrograd said the Rus
sian victory at GaIicia was COM
pIete, more than 100000 prisoners
having been taken. Berlin reported
an Austrian victory at Grodek, west
of Lemberg.
From Holland and Switzerland come
reports that news of the reverses of
the right wing has reached Germany
and caused a feeling of gloom. Gen.
Won Blume has issued a warning to
the people that the struggle Is only
beginning, and that they must be
prepared to make many sacrifices,
not expecting the speedy Victory
that was won In 1907.
German reports by way of London say
that the Austrians have driven the
Russians back near Grodek.

RUSSIAN LEFT
CRUSHED BY GERMANS

Berlin.-The Germans have gained
another notable success over the Rus
slams, it was officially announced in
Berlin. 1t was stated at the War
Office that the German army, after a
sharp encounter, completely crushed
the left flank Of the Russian army in
East Prussia. The Russians are de-
clared to be in full retreat. The way
has now been opened for an attack on
the Russian main army in Russian Po-
land along the line of Warsaw. 1t
may also be possible for the Germans
to flank the Russians, who have
been reduced to send additional troops
to Galicia, where the Austrians are
again reported to have assumed the
offensive.
A cable from P~etrograd admits that
the Russian forces in East Prussia
are retiring on a new defensive posi-
ton to meet an attack by a large Ger
man army which has just arrived
from the west. This force is reported
to be made up of several German
army corps withdrawn from the
French front and more than 200, 900
members of the second line. They are
heavily supported with artillery, and,
it is believed the great eastern Ger
man %fortresses have been denuded Of
their fighting forces to increase the
forces in a general assault on the
Russian column.
The Russian advance guard, finding
the Germans in great force in the Ma
suren1and region, has withdrawn on
the main column. Russian reinforce
ments have been set forward and the
Russian right army is to be streng-
thened Immediately. 1t is stated that
this movement will in no way inter-
fere with the campaign against the
Austrians which is being pressed with
a great battle now in progress at Cali
ella.
That the Austrians have been very
strongly reinforced by the Germans
is admitted. There are reported to
be not less than five army corps of
first line German troops now fighting
with the Austrians along a battle line
that extends from Tomaszok, almost
on the Russian Poland-Austrian from
tier, southwark in an irregular line
through Ruwarska, then west of Lem
berg to the Dniester River country.

traces were cut and not unfastened
shows that the enemy is completely
panic stricken.
1--WE are everywhere following up

All reports that come from the
front show that the position of the
Austrian forces Is desperate. The cen
trs and wings of the great Austrian
force, which now is said to have num-

"The Austrian military strength is

Russian artillery has been posted at
certain points to cut off the retreat.

Paris.-Gen. Gallieni, Military Gov
ernor of Paris, received the following
message from Gen. Joffre, Commander
in-Chief of the French Army:
""The battle Of the last five days has
ended in an undeniable victory. The
retreat Of the First, Second and Third
German Armies Is Fastening before

Moreover, the enemy has left upon

quantities of munitions of war. In
gaining ground we have made many
prisoners. Our troops show evidences
of the intensity of the struggle and
the extraordinary efforts made by the
Germans in their attempt to resist our
vehemence.

1t is reported that the Fifth German
Army has suffered a shortage of pro-
visions as a result of a sortie by the
garrison at Verdun which captured a
long German provision train.
Other dispatches from Bordeaux
say that the Germans lines of COM
m~unications on their left and centre
have been cut by the rapid advance of
the allies and that they must now use
the route through the Meuse Valley
and Luxembufg.
1t is estimated here that forty-six
army corps, making 100000 men,
took part in the battle Of the Marine.
This is the greatest number ever en-
gagged in single combat.

UPON GOD.
To Attain Strength We Must
Open to Him Doors and Win
doWS of the Soul.

Why is 1t that we so easily get
tired? 1t Is because we try to be
good out of our own We
cannot long maintain strength of
any kind out of our own
II we &C on for just a few weeks too
long without adequate rest and fresh
air and exercise, we speedily find
out our limitations. We are sent of
to the sea or the hills, and there,
with the strain of work removed, we
drink in great healing and replenish-
ment. And just as our natural life
is fed from the benign restorative
forces of nature, SO our spiritual life
is replenished from the restorative
energies of God. The most deter
mined of us, living on the strength
Of his own resolve, is but a we'll
charged battery, which rapidly loses
its power. The weakest, linked on
to Gods omnipotence, is supplied
straight from the spiritual power
house Of the universe.
Is 1t really possible, then, to go on
working and suffering and doing
right all the life long, without feel
ing life too hard, or losing that buoy
ancy of spirit that marketh the first
fresh morning days? Yes, If we full
fill the condition-"they that wait
upon the Lord" We must honestly
open the doors and windows of the
soul that God may come in. And
that is something that we can never
do If we are knowingly retaining in
our life anything incompatible with
the great companionship. To use
the language of William Law: "If a
man should make a large description
Of his temptations, and desire God
to assist him to reject them all, and
to disappoint him in all his evil de-
signs, he would be forced either to
forsake such prayers. or to forsake
his evil life" When we are doing
anything that is not right, we cannot
pray.
Now, if we have been getting tired
of the struggle, tired of being good.
Is 1t not because we have not been
letting God into our life? We used
to open all. the .inlets of the soul
that he might enter, as the sweet.
cleansing air pours in through the
opened windows. But lately, for
reasons that we know only too well
we have been keeping the windows
closed, ay, and the blinds down, and
muttering some few ceremonial
words on the doorstep. That is not
prayer. There Is no renewal Of
strength in that, but If we honestly
wait upon God; If we go about our
work and among our friends with all
the windows Of the soul open to
God; If we let the Divine Spirit In
among all those mephitic fumes Of
desire, those pestilential vapors of
ness, Impotence and discomfort, the
noxious exhalations vanish away, and
the rooms of the soul grow wholesome
and sweet again. We have some temp
tation to meet tomorrow, which has
often borne us down, and we know
our will is weak as water in the pres
ence of it. Now, do we want to over
come it? Then we must go and wait
on God about it. We cannot come
alongside of the infinite energies and
not be made strong. Wait on the
Lord, and he shall strengthen thine
heart. Wait, l say, on the Lord

the statistical expert, has out
lined to President Wilson a
scheme by which he says the
European war may be ended in
five weeks. His plan includes:
The establishment Of an inter-
national relations conference,
which Germany suggested two
years ago, when a naval holiday
was suggested, and which Great
Britain refused to consider.
The ~boycotting of all goods inn
ported from the warning nations.
The cooperation of the people
of the United States with Presi-
dent Wilson in his efforts for

In this connection he says the
holding of monster peace meet
