The war in Europe has caused for
eign mission boards an immense
amount Of trouble in forwarding
funds to the mission fields. Mails
have been interrupted. Banks have
refused to issue drafts on foreign
countries, or to cable money to for
eign bankers. In all places
has been high, and in a few places
prohibitive.
The resourcefulness of treasurers
of foreign mission boards has been
taxed to the Utmost. Various meth
DDS for sending honey have been de-
vised. United States officials have
been given their aid. The postal
money order service has been used.
Gold has been shipped. Credit has
been exchanged with merchants, as
s~istance has been received from bank
ing houses with a foreign credit in
one city that could be used in an
other.
1t is significant that mercantile
firms and other secular agencies are
cooperating SO generously with dis
tinctively religious organizations.

WILL NOT TIE UP
TO ANY PARTY
AntI-SaIOOn League Will Remain
NOn-Partisan- Obligated
to the Churches.

Officials Make Statement Explaining
the Attitude Of the Organization In
This Years campaign-Wiil Aid
Candidates of All Parties Who Are
Against the Liquor Traffic.
Columbus, Ohio.-There has been
considerable discussion in Ohio news
papers as to whether the Anti-Saloon
league would or would not endorse
this or that political party in this
years campaign. That the league will
remain strictly non-partisan is the
gist of a statement which is made
public by league officials, who give
these reasons:
when the league was organized we
asked the churches for their cooper
alton and were told that the church
could not be responsible for any or
ganization which was partisan. The
leagues mission is to encourage good
men in every party to take an active
part in politics and to become candi-
dates for office. The league appealed
to the churches to elect the trustees
who outline the policies of the league
and annually select its officers. Prac-
tically all the denominations Of Ohio
elect annually their members to the
board of trustees and these trustees
outline the plans of the league and
elect its officers.
"An executive committee elected by
the board of trustees has an active
control of the league during the in
terim between the meetings OF the
trustees. The church is not organ
lied along partisan lines. Men of all
parties belong to every church. To
try to tie up the temperance forces to
any one party by church endorse
ment would be fatal. The church
fights for principles The league in
Ohio this year will be fighting for
Progressives in some counties. Demo
Gratis in others and Republicans In
others. The league win make its APP
peal to every voter in Ohio regardless
OF his party affiliation to vote for
state prohibition and against the
brewers home rule amendment"

COSSACKS CLEARING THE WAY

Capture Of JarosIaW and Isolation Of

Austro-German Armies TO Meet
Fifty Miles East Of craeow Within
a Week-The Eastern Campaign.
London, Sept. 24,-Large bodies Of
Cossacks are ranging the country
south of the railroad between Rzes'
zow and Tarnow, and within seventy
FIVE miles Of Cracow.
The presence of strong force Of
Russian cavalry in this district signi-
fies that the movement to surround
the Austrian field armies is being car
ried out energetically, and that the
Russians, behind a cavalry screen,
are moving steadily toward the an
Client Polish capital.
The capture of the Jaroslaw forts,
1t is officially announced. has permit
ted the Russians to continue their
westward advance. Przemysl, where
the Russians are bombarding the
forts, has been isolated and is no
longer regarded as a formidable OBJ
stacle to the advance against Silesia.
st. Petersburg asserts that Russia
has now so many troops operating in
Galicia that it will be a simple mill
tary operation to leave a large army
to besiege Przemysl and accomplish
at leisure the taking Of the forts and
the capture of the garrison and the
field forces that sought refuge there,
while, simultaneously, other Russian
armies push on to Cracow. 1t Is ex-
pected that the Russians and the
Austro-German armies will meet at
some point within fifty miles east Of
Cracow within a week.
The taking OF Jaroslaw, a railroad
center, twenty-five miles northwest Of
Przemysl, is regarded as one Of the
big Russian successes of the Galician
campaign.
It is reported from st. Petersburg
also that the Russian offensive in
East Prussia is again developing
strongly in the face OF weak German
opposition, and that Russian forces
are once more preparing to invest
Koenigsberg.

Berlin dispatches said that attacks by
the allied French and British forces
on the German lines were diminish
ing in strength, while the German Of
fensive was growing stronger at all
points. An official statement an
nounced the capture of Craonne and
the town of Bethany, near Rheims.
Heavy guns from the Paris forts

Paris announced that the Germans
were storming Verdun forts.
Wednesday, Sept %, was the elev-
enth day of the great battle Of the
river Aisne. French official reports
maintain that the allies army is max
ing steady gains against German right,
commanded by General Won Kluek.
II is claimed that the allies left has
advanced little over ten miles in
the region of the Oise river. The
allies at that point are attempting a
big turning movement Terrific fight
ing is reported along the entire battle
front. The German embassy at Wash
ington issued a statement to the ef-
feet that the French armies are weak
ening and that their center is retreat
ing. 1t is also declared that Verdun,
French stronghold, has been sue

The loss of life attending the de-

Monday, Sept q. was the ninth
Cay of the great battle of the Aisne,
probably the most sanguinary conflict
in all history.
Not taking into account the losses
in killed, wounded and prisoners, at
least 100000 men have contended
with the utmost ferocity. The Ger
mans are opposing with 100000 an
allied force of 100000. This esti-
mate of the forces engaged may be
retained because It can be assumed
that Germans and allies have OBJ
tanned reinforcements to fill the gaps
made by bullets shell and bayonet.
These troops, after series Of engage
ments, each vital to the general COM
bat. are stretched from north Of
Noyon to north of Montfaucon, on a
line which forms an obtuse angle, dun
ming southeast from Noyon to Cra-
onne, Berry-au-Bao and Rheims, and
thenceforth east and northeast to
Montfaucon and the forest of the
Argonne.
This is the main battle line, where
human endurance is being put to un-
IMAGINABLE strain to determine
whether or not the Germans can
again assume the offensive against
Paris, or if they are to be broken and
hurled back over the frontiers Of Bel
GUM. Luxemburg and Lorraine.
Up to the present it is a drawn bat
tie. The Germans, evading attempts
to envelop their right and left wings,
and themselves developing a strong
offensive in the center OF the battle
line, which is east and north OF
Rheims, have the advantage OF In
trenched and fortified positions, de-
fenses calmly and skillfully prepared
by the German engineers at least
three weeks ago. The terrible slaugh-
ter Of the past eight days has been
due largely to the attempts OF the
allies to capture by frontal attacks OF
infantry and light artillery, the key
points of this strong line of defense.
France is denuding the fortresses
now safe from attack and is drawing
heavily from young and old re-
servists.
The cathedral of Notre Dame and
other historic structures in Rheims
were destroyed By German shells.
The French government has filed pro-
tests with neutral powers, calling at
tention to the fact that Rheims is an
unfortified city.
st. Petersburg reports that heavy
Russian siege guns transported over
railroad taken from the Austrians
are bombarding the two San river
fortresses of Prezemysl and Jaroslaw,

are reported also to have moved
