Won BERNsToRFF SEES BRYAN.
Secretary Of State Gives German En-
voy Copies Of Treaties.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The call Of
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, at the State Department to-
day, where he conferred for half an
hour with Secretary Bryan, aroused
speculation in diplomatic circles on
the possibility that another effort Is
being made by the administration, in
directly at least, to bring about peace.
1t is known that the diplomat made
a special trip from New York in re-
sponse to telegraphic request sent
by Bryan.
He left the secretary burdened with
copies of peace commission treaties
negotiated by Bryan, and is under
stood to have been asked to forward
these to Berlin.
It was regarded here as significant
that Secretary Bryan should under
take negotiations looking to the inclu-
sion of Germany among the nations

London, Oct. 5.-General Won Kluck,
reinforced with troops from the Ger
man center. continues to make de-
termined stand against the attempt Of
the allies to outflank him. The French,
who yesterday officially reported that
all German attacks in this region had
been repulsed and that the allies had
resumed the offensive, announced to-
day that the battle to the north Of the
Disc, which commenced seriously
about Sept. %, continues with great
violence with no decisive result and
that at certain points the French
troops have had to yield ground.
The Germans, in their report is
sued last night, say the battle is pro-
ceeding successfully for them.
Both In London and in Paris there
Is the greatest confidence, although
some surprise IS displayed at the sue
cess of the Germans in preventing the
outflanking movement. There is a
feeling, however, that the Germans
cannot extend their line much further
north without weakening it at some
point.
Along the rest of the line, the
French communication says, there has
been no change. Therefore the prog.
ress in the regions of Scissors and
Wo'vrc. reported Sunday night, either
has satisfied them for the moment or
they have been checked by the Ger
mans.
General Helmuth Won Moltke has
been superseded by General Voight
Rhetz as chief of the German staff
The Kaiser is said to have deposed
Won Moltke because of keen disap
pointment over the results of the cam
palgn mapped out by his chief. Won
Moltke is known as great organ
1zer, and he has been given credit TO,
the machine-like precision of the Ger
man armies.

began on September II. Military
observers say now there can be
no decision III this struggle until
one side simply crushes the other
with outnumbering forces. Just
now both armies are being stead
lily and equally reinforced, so it
appears there will be no decisive
result for an indefinite period.
Both Sides Rally.
From September 2S to October 8
the Allies were having all the best of
the fight against General Won Kluck.
They were battoring his army badly
and they had almost accomplished a
crushing flank movement not far
south of Ostend, Belgium, when the
Germans rallied and pushed back the
French-British left wing.
A similar operation took place in
the eastern field, except, however, the
positions Of the opponents were re-
versed. The Germans had silenced
some of the important forts around
Verdun, French army base, and were
beginning a serious penetration into
eastern France. The French rallied,
drove the Germans clear back into
Lorraine and penetrated German ter
ritory through the Vosges mountain
passes. But they haven't gone much
beyond the mountains.
Watch Northwest Battle.
Severe artillery duelling has been
almost constant in the general neigh
borhood north of Rheims, where the
Germans have entrenched infantry

battled siege guns and other heavy ar
tillery in the foothills of the Ardennes

the Germans were completely routed

London.-With the German attack
on the outer Notifications of Antwerp,
Belgium again has become the scene
of serious operations. The invaders,
so far, have confined their attack to
the forts protecting the river cross

A German report says that two forts
have been silenced, but the Belgians
deny this.
The scarcity of food in Brussels has

minister to, the Lutheran Church of
the Redeemer and also the Church of
the Ascension in Lancaster Both
ministers drew the same salary and
their wives were much together.
Last Sunday the stork duttered
over the home of Rev. Yerger The
minister met a nurse at the door of
Mrs. Yerger's bedchamber and the
nurse said: "a fine boy, DR.. Yerger"
The minister was rubbing his hands
gleefully when the nurse reappeared
and exclaimed: "And now little girl
has come. Beautiful twins. DR.. Yer
ger"
That day Rev. Yerger sent the
word of double joy over to his friends,
Rev. and Mrs. Lands. They sent con-
gratulations, and, until last Thursday
it appeared that the parallel events in
the lives of the two couples had been
broken. But the stork, a consistent
bird, evened matters up nicely. Early
in the morning of that day Rev. Lam
dis was poised on the threshold of
Mrs. Lands bedroom when a nurse
appeared. "a fine boy has come for
you, DR.. Landis," she exclaimed and
quickly retreated back into the room.
DR.. Lands was walking up and down
the floor, rubbing his hands in glee,
when the nurse again appeared at the
door and whispered quickly, "Dr.
Lands, sweet little girl has come,
too. You have splendid twins"
Of course the baby girls will be

the boys in honor of the proud faith

John aptist Lamy.

John Baptist Lamy, one of the most
prominent figures in the early history
of the Catholic church In the South
west, was born in France 100 years
ago. He was ordained in 1888 and
then came to the United States the
next year. He was stationed first in
the diocese of Cincinnati. In 1850 he
was consecrated vicar apostolic of
New Mexico, which had just been ac-
quired by the United States. He was
made the first bishop of Santa Fe in
1853, and upon the erection Of the
metropolitan see in 1875 he was pro-
NOTED archbishop. In 1885 he re-
signed his active duties on account
of age. At the tisne OF his resigna-
ton his diocese contained "a

XMAS Speech Criticized.

Perhaps the most candid criticism
of kings speech" was one uttered
by king himself. There is that story
Of George III, who. leaving the lords
after opening parliament, turned to
his lord chancellor with the remark:
Lord chancellor, did 1 deliver the
speech well?"
Very well indeed sir" was the re-
ply.
Il am glad of that" said the king.
for there was nothing in it"
George II. too. did not always feel
himself bound to praise his ministers
efforts. In 1856, for instance. when a
spurious speech was circulated, he
pleaded for mercy for the printers OF
it, because, he said. he had compared
the spurious with the real, and, so far
as he could understand either. he in
tinitely preferred the former to his
own"
