Russians Capture Two
Austrian StrOngholds
NicoIaieff and Mikolaijow, 25 Miles
South of Lemberg, Fall-Only
Three Towns Bar Cars
Advance on Berlin.

Petrograd Est. Petersburg).-The
fortress of Mikolajoff (Mikolaijow or
Nfcolleiff), twenty miles south OF
Lemberg and commanding the Aus
trian State Railroads crossing OF the
River Duiester, was taken by the
Russians after severe fighting. Forty
heavy guns and stores Of all kinds
sufficient for a year were captured.
The preparations at Mikolajof and
Lemberg to hold out for a year In
dictate that the Austrians intended to
make a stout resistance.
The capture of this fortress cleared
away every Austrian stronghold in
Galicia East of Przemysl, which is
now invested by the Russians.
Mikolajof is one of the most mod
ern f~ortresses in Austria. It's de-
lenses include steel cupolas and mod
ern guns Of heavy calibre.
North of Lemberg the main Aus
trian army, which has been beaten
back from it's invasion OF Poland, is
reported r~etreating all along the line
between the Rivers Bug and Vistula.
This retreat spells more than defeat
it is disaster, owing to the nature
of the country through which the
Austrians must make their escape.
At Rawa Ruska, an~important rail-
way junction ~thirty-two miles North
of Lemberg, the Russians forced the
Austrians to fee after heavy fighting.
The fortresses of Przemysl and
Jaroslau. on the River San, and
Cracow on the Vfstula River, are
the only obstacles the Austrians now
have to prevent the Russian advance.
Przemysl is a strongly fortified mill
tary camp, ffty-one miles west of
Lemberg, with forty-two forts and
10000 men, who have been reinforced
by the soldiers who escaped from
Lemberg and Poland.

Always in Gods Light.

"'Tis told of a Grecian sculptor
whilst engaged upon identifying a tenn
pie. that visitors would remark to him
about the waste of time and energy
be spent upon the lofty pillars. They
said, Why do you waste such skill
where no human eye can behold? Only
the bird can reach such a place The
sculptor. looking up, and resting his
chisel for a moment. replied: The
gods will see it. Learn to do your
work just as well and thoroughly; even
If it be obscure to the world, remem-
Der that God can see where the world

FLOOD STOPS BoMsARDMENT.
Most II Heavy Siege Guns Sent to
Paris by Rail.

London.-A dispatch to the Express
from Ostend says that the lombard
ment of Mechlin has virtually ceased
since the country was flooded. The
German siege gun established near
the town is of no further use. Near
Dunkirk the whole country is under
water.
All the heavy siege guns. save some
at Maubeuge. are reported to Eave
been sent to Paris by rail.

CuanLllly, OUT ~ miles from the me
tropolis.
1t is the conviction of all who have
studied the matter that the Germans
will leave before Paris only enough
to make a sortie ineffective and then
continue the effort to drive back the
allies and seek to cut off their lines
Of communication.
So far as the bombardr ent of Paris
is concerned, it is believed that the
Germans will pursue the same plan
that they adopted so successfully at
Liege and Namur-namely, to con-
centrate their great siege guns upon
one or two Of the forts and by break
ing them down open a clear way into
the city, which can only be opposed
by the garrison in a h~and-to-hand
fight.
The Germans feel confident, it Is
believed, through their experiences SO
far, that their superior numbers will
make them quickly masters OF Paris
by this method of attack.
Emile Almond, President of the FL
anc Committee of the Senate and
an authority on military affairs, an
nounced to the newspapers that for a
circumference of $50 miles around the
~intrenched camp of Paris is defended
by 1000 amor of large calibre, per-
fectly sheltered and capable of cross
ing the fire so as to defend all ap-
proaches. The batteries, he said, are
connected with supply depots by miles
of narrow-gauge railway tracks.
Paris.-Amiens, the capital of the
Department of the Somme, has been
captured by the Germans and the
Somme Valley has been lost to the
Allies. LIE Fere, one of the weaker
fertilization north of Paris, has also
been taken. The British report that
they cut up several troops of Ger
man cavalry and infantry in the for
est of Compiegne. Three million
Frenchmen, it is said, are now under
arms to defend Paris and new in
trenchments are being constructed
under the direction OF Gen. Gallieni.
the military Governor of Paris. In
his proclamation the Governor says
that the members Of the Government
have left Paris in order to give a
new impetus to the defence of the
nation. Only two gates in Paris are
open, Porte Maillot on the northwest
and Porte de Bercy on the south
west. They are both strongly guard
ed and defended by barbados.
An immense and complicated sys-
tenn of intrenchments is being con-
structed outside the city in prepare
ton for the German attack.
The exodus from Paris continues.
The desire to save the women and
children from privations and perhaps
the horrors Of a long siege is grow
Ing in intensity every hour.
All the terminals for the west and
south of France present extraordinary
scenes. Every sort of baggage. every
kind of household effect, is scattered
in immense heaps about the stations,
while their owners are camping round
them waiting the departure Of their
trains.
This is due not only to the flight
from the city itself. but to the fact
that Paris is the through station for
the refugees Of the country round.
In the meantime those who have
to remain in the city are laying in
a supply of provisions, including -four,
canned milk, salt, sugar, tea, coffee
and fruit. 1t is foreseen that the
supply Of vegetables will remain plen-
tiful. There is an especially large
demand for sardines.

Sharp fighting is proceeding at

looked for in the near future.

Then | must lay this truth well to
my heart, that the men who win are
seldom those that are always peerins
and bordering on the dark side
They are those who get heaven and
the sun for the background to their
own best striving. Then the fairest
fortune possible to us comes through
that winsome light. To lose this is
to lose my strongest ally, and put
a cheerful courage on when ! stand
with my face to the sun.-Coilyer.

London.-The British Official Press
Bureau issued the following announce
ment:
'"The general position continues sat

ground on their left all along the line
of the Ourcq and the Petit Norm
Rivers. The British have driven the
enemy back ten miles.
Fighting has been in progress fur
Their to the right along the line which
includes Montmirail and Sompuis,
neither side gaining advantage.
Further to the right again, from
Vitry lie : Francois to Sermaize les :
Bains, the enemy has been pressed
back in the direction of Rheims.
"At Luneville at attempt by the Ger
mans to advance has been repulsed.
Pressure against the enemy con-
tinues all along the allied fronts. The
British force has been engaged all
day, but the enemy opposed it, after
stubborn resistance retired and is now
crossing to the north of the Marine.
"The Fifth French army has adj
vanced with equal success and reports
many captures.
"The Sixth French army, on the
Ourcq, has been heavily engaged, but
here also the enemy has been driven

"The German army has suffered Sc

HE LEADETH me-"
Darkness Never Really Dark;
Light Leads On Through
the Valley.

experiences they would fall into three
divisions: First, rest and r~efreshment;
second, work; third, sorrow. Those
are the three divisions which David
follows in the first part Of the Twenty
third Psalm. He is speaking OF the
rest when he says, He maketh me to
lie down in green pastures; He lead
eth me beside the still waters" We
a imagine the blistering heat of the
summer noon day when the plain is
ike an oven. But In the midst of that
neat there Is a sheltered glen, with its
tiny rivulet whose banks are lined with
cool and sweet grass, hidden away In
the restfuf shade. 1t Is into such q
place that the shepherd will lead his
sheep, and that suggests some expert
ence which we remember with delight.
David is speaking OF work when he
says, He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness" The sheep is not a
creature of toll. The nearest it ever
comes to work is when it climbs up
the mountain path after the shepherd.
That requires effort and exertion. No
small part of our lives is made up of
effort. Work has as prominent a place
as rest.
David is speaking of sorrow when
he says, Though l walk through the
valley Of the shadow Of death, / will
fear no evil; for Thou are with me-"
The shepherd was sometimes COM
PEELED to lead his sheep through the
deep gorge in whose shadow dangers
lurked and where the going was diff
cult. So we have our dark valleys to
pass through; not only the valley
where the relation between soul and
body is dissolved, but valleys of loss
and fear and trial and disappointment.
Lies experiences can be summed up
in those three words, rest, work, sor-
row.
Always Gods Leadership.
When David was singing of rest he
said, He leadeth me beside the still
waters" That Ia an assertion that we
can have Gods leadership in the time
of rest. When he was singing Of work
he said, "He leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness" 1t is an assertion
that we can have His leadership in our
work. But what about sorrow? 1t is
not said, He leadeth me in the valley
of the shadow of death" But that is
plainly implied, Though l walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death. Thou art with me-" The time
when W. are most conscious VI Gods
presence is not in the hour of rest, or
in the hour of work, but in the hour Of
sorrow. So here is a strain of music,
occurring over and over, which may be
taken as the theme of this portion of
the Psalm, He leadeth me-" When
the work calls US, the paths of right
eousness are before us. When we are
in sorrow we find the darkness is not
really dark, because the light Of the
world" is leading on through the val
ley. When wearied out with toll and
care and we need quiet and peace, the
banks of the still waters" r at
hand with their refreshment.
The Penn's Grove record., 1914-09-11

Fighting continues all along the 150-
cannot be predicted, although every
thing looks favorable for the Allied ar
mics.
Each side in succession was report
ed charging desperately, with a good
ly part of the general fighting of the
hand to hand variety. The Germans
were said to have been pushed by
sheer weight of numbers, the British
cavalry and infantry charging en-
masse along a battle front of nearly
twenty miles. The British were said
to have encouraged the French to such
an extent that their commanding Of
ficers had difficulty in restraining them
and preventing them from attempting
the impossible.
Although the military official pro.
fess to believe that the Germans have
now definitely abandoned the plan to
besiege Paris, the work of preparing
FOR possible attack continues. No one
except soldiers is permitted within
the chain of forts, and the narrow
gauge railroads connecting the various
defenses are filed with trains coming
and going, transferring men and sup
plies.
The military expert of the Times"
sums up the situation as follows:
"The Allies have very promptly
seized the correct moment for an Of
fensive return and according to the
latest news have opened a general
attack to the German army on a front
extending between Verdun and Paris.
1t is supposed that the whole force Of
the Allies are in line, with the excep-
ton of the troops which are holding
back the army of the Crown Prince of
Bavaria in Lorraine"
The numerical superiority which
has hitherto been so great an asset in
the German calculations no longer ex-
lists, and in fact, the allied forces are
equal, even if not somewhat superior,
to the German armies.
There is an ~unconfrmed report here
that the German commanders request
ed an armistice to bury the dead, and
that Gen. French, who is commanding
the Allies left wing, would not con-
sent, fearing it was a ruse to gain
time for bringing up reenforcements.
