Sneaking 10 veterans of the Civil and
Spanish American wars and Co. \,
Calumet Engineers, Sunday morning.
I'm a sermon on Moral Heroism." from
the text, Daniel G-10: "Now when Dan
iel knew that the writing was signed
he went into his house and he kneeled
upnn his knees three times a day and
prayed and gave thanks, before his God
as he did aforetime." Rev. Adams said
i'm part:
This story of Daniel Is of perennial
interest Though told in oriental man
ner . 800 years ago, IL has lost none Of
its fascination for us today. 1t inter
ests all classes from the child to the
white haired saint of God. Why is
this? Because il matches the exper-
fences of every man today. Stripped of
it's orientalism we see man who has
set his heart to do right, To be true To
his God. whose purpose is tested To the
limit of human possibility and who,
though he face death, will not sur
render his convictions.
There was something about Daniel
that everybody admires. 1t counts for
nothing that he was u Jew. We delight
i'm the same qualities in Jew or Greek,
i'm Roman or Turk, i'm Chinese or Afri-
can in English or American. 1t mat
ters not whether ii he Joseph i'm the
Egyptian court, the three worthless Ia
the fiery furnace, Daniel in the lions
den, jeremiah i'm the dungeon, John
Baptist i'm prison, Christ on Calvary,
Paul being led forth to death, John
Bunyon in Bedford Jail, the Chinese
martyrs in the Boxer uprising or the
young man of today who endures social
ostracism because of his convictions
What we most admire i'm any man is
his loyalty to conscientious convictions
even to death If need be.
The Heroism of Ones Convictions.
This is of higher quality than the
hysical heroism of the bully, the prize
fighter, the daredevil 1t costs more
of real courage to stand true to ones
principles and it is. esteemed moro
highly by men.

RUSSIAN TROOPS IN
 FRANCE NUMBER 15oooo
Are Now in the Rear of the German
 Army.

If
 New York. Sept 6.-Russian troops to the number of 150,000 have passed through England and are now at the rear of the German army in France, according to Vance Thompson. an American writer who arrived here to- day on the Red Star liner Krooniand, which sailed from Liverpool August 2S. On that day. MT. Thompson said, he saw detachments of Cossacks on their way to the channel ports, and learned that the British government had sus- pended the regular train service in or der to give the Russians the right of way. He added that he could say from reliable authority that 15O,0e0 Russians had already crossed the channel and probably were now attacking the Ger man rear, while it was understood that thousands more were on their way from ArchangeI by the Arctic ocean route to England .
 Passengers on several steamers from England recently have reported a movement of Russian troops through the British Isles to the continent Returning with Mir Thompson was his father, the Rev. c. l.. Thompson, who was a delegate to the church peace conference at Constance on Aug. 1, the day war was declared between Russia and Germany. Two days later the con- ference ended abruptly and MT Thompson and his son started for Eng 1 land but were for two weeks in Al sace-Lorraine, where much of the first l fighting occurred.
 1 The Kroonland brought 317 passen- gers, several hundred less Sthan her capacity.

 AT LEMBURG WAS A RoUT
The Only Hope Now Is in the Ger

Rome. Sept 6. 1o.4O a. m., by way of London. 8 a. m--9 news despatch from Vienna says that the defeat at Lemburg was rout of the whole Austrian army operating in Galicia and that the only hope now is in the German contingent. which is congest- ing all the railway lines toward the northeastern frontier. It Is asserted that the Austrian general staff is urg- ing the Germans to dispatch some of their APO millimetre guns to Galicia
 Official reports from Petrograd say that, although the defeat of the Rus sians at Tannemberg was regrettable, it is serving only to stimulate the fer vor of the. people, the army and the government to multiply their efforts for final success. which the whole na- ton considers inevitable as the Ger mans in making what was perhaps their most strenuous attempt, disrupt ed ony one-twentieth part of the Rus sian army.
 Since the war began the government has not permitted the operation ot wireless telegraph apparatus. It has been suspected, however, that some '--ireless operators were at work and search revealed an outfit on the roof of a boarding house frequented by for eigners.

GERMAN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
 RECEIVED BY WIRELESS

 The German army administration reports that in the west the allied and Verdun and that the German troops are pursuing them. Paris is empty and the only scene of anfma- ton is around the railway stations. which are filled with thousands of fugitives. The London newspapers do not consider that Paris will defend itself to the utmost.
 Tn the eastern theatre of war the Austrian attack on Lublin continues and the armies commanded by Gen erals Dank and Auffenberg are still engaged in .dispersing the enemy so as to obtain the fullest advantage from their glorious victories at Krasnik and Zanazo. Those victories wrich were achieved after three days of bitter fighting resulted in the flight of the enemy. The Russian advance on Lem berg has been brought to a halt
 Further important developments are imminent. The first Polish legion, un- der Austrian command, has been form ed Cracow. The emperor has ap- pointed General Von Vaczynewski to command this force. Warsaw is being prepared for defense by the Russians.
 Tt is reported that fear of the fear of the German fleet has caused great alarm in English seaport towns. In Hartlepool torpedoes are set in front around the coasts the nervousness oc- cas1oned by the German mines is said to be indescribable.
 "The enrolment of recruits for the British army is proceeding slowly. From one town of 700.0 900 inhabitants not more than 100 men reported them selves. the majority of them being tramps The nation has not been per mitted to learn the real situation at the seat of war"

GERMAN ARMY NO LONGER
 THREATENING PARIS
But Task of Putting the Defenses in
 Order Is Being Pushed.

London. Sept. 6. 11.3o p. m.-'Now that the German army no longer is threatening Paris" says a despatch to Renters from Paris. time is given to complete the task of putting the defenses of the city in order. The work is being pushed forward with the utmost activity under the supervision of General Ga1lieni. the military gov ernor.
 Although a. feeling of relief is no- ticeable. some Parisians seem almost disappointed that the preparations made to oppose the German entry into the city are not to be put to a test. The newspapers describe the engage ment entered into by the allies not to agree separately to peace terms, as a. pact of freedom for the modern world and new holy alliance of peo- ples who are determined hot to be crushed under the German heel
