 From various sources came reports, none of which were confirmed, that some sort of naval craft are being pressed into use by the allies in the canals of Flanders and perhaps from the sea. Sunday. despatch direct could be heard there and it was be- lieved that gunboats were being used in the canals.
 It was added that heavy lighting was progressing south of lOstend which, if true, meant the presence of allied forces at a point farther north than heretofore suspected. This is con- tradicted by the report that the Ger mans are west of Fsurnes.

London, Oct. q1a-F'ro1n the point of view of the allied armies, so far as could be learned from despatehes reaching London today. the situation in West Flanders and France as far south as Lille. seemed on this T7th day of the war, perhaps more hopeful than at any time since the German advance on Paris was checked.
 Though the news reaching England is neagre and to an extent delayed, as always. all tidings seem to indicate that the German advance from Os- tend on the French coast towns has been blocked temporarily at least, while farther south, in a region that was a. week ago the extreme German right. the invaders have been again compelled to give ground before the ailies' wedge force which has been con- centrating on Lille.
 Several reports contend that the Ger mans have withdrawn from this town but this is not confirmed, nor is the nearly thirty miles northwest. It seems plain, however, that the menace here grew marked and that the German army operating along the coast of Flanders found itAelf in peril of be- ing cut off from the main body.
 What opposition they met along the sea is only guessWorx for it has never been disclosed in Great Britain what forces the allies have or at what point they touch the coast.
 All reports seem to agree that the city of Ostend is practically clear o1 Germans. who apparently are reform ing to the south with reinforcement and the siege guns used to batter the Belgian forts and that they now propose to hammer on toward Dun kirk and Calais.

BIG TANK STEAMER IS HELD AT HAL TAX

Halifax. N s., Oct. 1s.---Just what plan would be pursued with regard to the American tank steamer Rrindilla, seized by the British auxiliary cruiser Caronia and brought here yesterday. could not be learned today. It was understood that some action would be taken today but none of the admiralty officials would give any information as to the reasons for the seizure. It Is supposed that the Brindilla, which was formerly the German steamer Wash ington, was suspected of having con traband aboard.
 It is also reported that when she was halted by the Caronia, outside of Ambrose Channel, last Tuesday, she was steering a course at variance with the ordinary course for her announced destination. She cleared from New York for Alexandria. Egypt
 It was thought possible that the question whether the transfer from German to American registry was a transa etion in good faith might be considered by the admiralty court The purchase of the steamer from the Fiedermann line by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, was an nouneed on September 21.

ST. LUKE'S CHURCH HISTORY REVIEWED
 BY ITS MINISTERS

At two well attended services at St. Luke's P. B. church yesterday morn ing and last night, Rev. w. H. Jep- son, the rector, and Rev. c. l.. Pardee, the first clergyman in charge, told in sermons the history of the instttu- ton. The occasion was an observ- ance of the 18th anniversary of the occupancy of the present church building at Stratford avenue and Sixth street.
 It was 27 years ago that Rev. MT. Pardee first took charge of services at the church which was then a, mission under the management of the Dto- cesan Board of Missions. Previous to that time the church had been cared for by Trinity church under the di- rection of pr. Sylvester Clarke. At that time Rev. MT. Pardee had only deacon's orders. In July, 1888, he was raised to the priesthood. The first baptism was a child of Alfred Butlin. The first class confirmed was by Bishop Williams 'on October Is 1888. The class was MT. and Mrs. G W. Purdy, Caroline Cooper, Tillie Michells. Florence V. Roberts, Henri, etta Bull and Minnie Umstatter. The first service was held in the present church building on October 6, 1889 The little mission has since grown te be one of the largest Episcopa, churches in the city.

events leading up to the Revolution both churches drifted farther apart. as the exigencies of the established church made it's pastor and people adherents of the British crown, while the Evangelical church sheltered nearly all of the patriots. Indeed, owing to the preponderance of mem bership in the established church, NeWtown was classed as a Tory town in Revolutionary times, But this is now all happily forgotten. During the Civil war both churches vied with each other in devotion to the cause of preserving. the nation. Since then, the church iGSas has notably modified the old serenity of evangelical wor- ship, and Easter and Christmas are now celebrated in the Congregati onaI church with feFvor equal to that of the Episcopalians, while the Congre- gationaI idea of worship and the so- ciRl features of church work have perm eated to the core of ritua1istic worship. And this celebration now in it's beginning seems to herald the ap- proach of a better day-the day of the union of Ghristian churches if not in faiths. at least in. common endeav- ors for the good of society

THE MISSISSIPPI IN HARNESS

Across the Des Moines rapids of the
Mississippi river, the greatest dam
that has ever been built in this coun-
try has been slowly stretching it's
huge bulk. Having now completed
its foothold, it pens the waters of
the mighty river in a lake sixty-five
miles long and more than a mile and
a half wide, and permits them to pass
only when they have paid tribute in
the form of electric power Keokuk,
Iowa, has become one of the great
Notwithstanding centers of the
world.
The new da mis- exceeded in size
only by the Assuan dam on the Nile.
The Assuan dam was built to water
thirsty land, and thereby promote ag-
riculture. The Keokuk dam stands
for power. 1t will build up manufac-
turing industries in rich agricultur-
al country, and provide cheap cleo
tri cenergy for region that holds
nearly five million people. The fif-
teen great turbines can generate $780,
900 horsepower. To produce that
amount of energy from coal would
consume FIVE million tons year.

Lake Weir, still later of the eact coast

lima, has recently contributed the fol
lowing article to the Farm Journal of

The Chinese ring-necked, golden,
Lady Amherst and silver pheasants

caterpillars, grasshoppers and all
other insects which may infest yard.
garden and shrubbery-fromt the most
infinitesimal egg, ant or aphis, to the
most enormous giant beetle, caterpil-
lar or winged moth; and / have seen
them pick off and eat potato-bugs,
though I do not think they are espe-
cially fond of them. 1t is most inte-
resting thing to watch flock of
the lawn in swaths, peering under
every leaf, stripping every seed stalk,
digging with their beaks (they do not
depend much on scratching) wher-
ever a little bare ground will allow:
and with good field-glass, at close
range. it is most surprising to note
how many hundreds of eggs, scales,
small living things, ETC.. they get,
where there. apparently appears to be
nothing of the kind A young chicken
would starve where young pheasant
would fatten, left to his own resourc-
es. On account of industry and expert
ness young pheasants collect great
part of their own feed, and as they
are not such gross feeders as chick
ems, about the amount of feed for one
chicken per year will easily keep four
to six pheasants, young or old.
The grown bird will stand the hard
est winter and most extreme cold, and
always prefers to roost outside, the
ring-neck on the ground and the gold
en- in trees. They enjoy the snow. and
while none of my birds are housed
in winter l have never lost single
bird from any cause except accident,
after it was grown. OF course our
winters are not severe, the mercury
seldom reaching 10 degrees below
zero; but the birds original home
was at the snow line on the Himalaya
and Manchurian mountains. There is
no bird better for the table than a.
ring-necked pheasant. The meat is
white like fiuffed grouse. gamey and
tender. And there can be no birds
more ornamental for the lawn than
the golden, Amherst and silver pleas
ants, with its gorgeous colorings,
long tail feathers and aggressive an
tics"
