London special General Joffre.
commander in chief of the French
forces, in a letter to the minister OF
war says that the French victory ap-
pears more and more complete. "Ev-
erywhere the enemy is In retreat,
abandoning prisoners, wounded, and
stores" In further statement he
says that the German army Is hasten
ing before the French, having evaouat-
ed Amiens and falling back eastward
between Scissors and Rheims In the
center the Germans still hold the
south end of the forest of Argonne, but
west of this they have retired north
ward from Vesle and are making no
attempt to defend the Marine to the
southeast of Rheims. On the right
wing the Germans who we're along the
Meurthe are in retreat beyond st. Die
and Luneville, and the French have
reoccupied Draon L'Etape and several
other towns s'Glg the German border
The Germans evidently are making an
heroic effort to retain Rheims, for
with its loss to the French their COM
munications for ammunition and sup
plies by way of East Belgian territory
and Luxembourg would be cut Off
Important Belgian Movement.
A large Belgian army under King
Albert has defeated the Germans with
considerable loss at Termonde, Client
and Lierre. The effect of this has
been to drive the Germans In the dis
trict around Antwerp south toward
Brussels. 1t is said that the German
forces have been cleared out of ter
ritory fifteen miles south of Antwerp.
The purpose of most OF these move
ments In Belgium has been to cut OF
German communication with the Ger
man front In France and also to checl
the sending Of troops to the French
battle front. The Belgian successes,
it is claimed, haze been largely instru-
mental in affecting both OF these pur-
poses.
The reports from Petrograd, Rome
and Paris say that the Russian vic
tories for the past few days have ut
terly overwhelmed the power OF the
Austrian army in Galicia and that the

war, and America had her Wilson,
who maintained peace in this
country and produced it in Mex
leo.
When you review the history
of Napolean, and his conquests,
and compare them and the finale.
with that of Wilson in time,
when spark of encouragement
from the Chief Executive of this
great nation, would have involved
the United States in a bloody
war with Mexico, and the final
outcome of what might have been
the loss of hundreds OF thousands
of the lives of young Americans,
with mourning in the homes of
many of our people, with a great
national debt entailed upon us,
is it not but just and right and
eminently proper, that in the pray
ers to be offered up, on the 4th
of October, in accordance with
the proclamation of the President,
that we all thank God first, for
having given us President, who
had the Christian spirit, and the
determined will to use his best Of
fees to avert a war with Mexico,
and not only that, but by his
'watchful waiting" he has been
the means of leading the people
of Mexico, to see the better side
to be achieved by ceasing the
slaughter of their fellow man,
and that out of war in Mexico, he
has brought peace and to follow a
new government, that is destined
to become prosperous and happy.
Now the President has issued
his proclamation, setting fourth
the 4th day Of October, as day
in which the prayers of the
Christian people are to be offered
up, for the restoration of peace
among the waring nations, that
are now engaged in the distruc-
ton of life and porperty.
This is the first time in the his
tory OF this country and for that
matter, the first time in the his
tory of the world, that a proclaim
alton has gone out from the head
of any nation and tits but just for
the United States to fully realize,
that it is the leading Christian
nation, with President, who is
fully endowed with that christian
spirit which is essential to the
success Of the head of any great
country.
When President Wilson was
inaugurated on the 4th of March
1913, amidst the greatest pagean-
try that was ever seen in this
city, yet at the same time, the
war clouds were hanging over
our borders, along the Mexico
lines, and the war spirit was life
in the breasts of many Of our
people, but the President with his
able advisers, have so directed
the affairs as to prevent the war,
that for time seemed inevitable,
but now we hear the praises on
the lips of all the people.
This accomplished, he, the Pres
ident sees the need of staying
the great obstruction Of life and
property now going Oh among the
warning nations across the ocean,
and he asked the christian people
of this country, to as one man to
offer up a prayer, to stay the hand
of the destryer, and it seems that
while this is meet and right, it is
equally SO, that we before we
petition for an other blessing, we
first ought to preach at least our
prayers, in giving thanks to God,
for the great blessing bestowed
upon US as a nation, by staying
the war, that seemed SO near US
from Mexico, and that the means
used by this country, has resulted
in restoring peace to that nation.
