TALKS AT Fl. MADISON
SESSION.

Fl. Madison, Sept. 4.--There have
been two anniversaries held in the
Santa Fee Avenue NJ e. church. The
first one was addressed by the Rev.
Dr. F. D. Bovard of Chicago. He said

bishop addressed the conference from
the question, SIS God Happy he
said that we know Christ suffered
when here on earth and that God was
so interested in the we'll being OF man
that we could well ask the question, IS
He happy. He said that God had plan
ned largely for man and that suffering
was abroad in a large degree now all
over the world and that we must eth
err conclude that God does not care or
that his heart aches for poor suffering
humanity He plead with the Method
list ministers to do their best to relleve
suffering humanity that the heart or
God may rejoice because men meet
the conditions and live in Joy here and
hereafter.

Rheims and Verdun as the greatest
battle in history. Three quarters of a
million men were declared to be par
ticipating in the engagement.
French Confident.
Paris, Sept. 4.-French troops have
been passing through Paris for the last
three days. headed toward the battle
lines, which protect the capital from
the German advance Resumption OF
the German offensive is expected any
moment. The confidence of the
French has strengthened. 1t is felt
that the strategical problem of the
allies is to select the right plan and
the right moment for counter Of
fensive movement.
Tens of thousands of Parisians,
chiefly women and children, have TAX
en- advantage of free trains placed at
their disposal by the government for
Paris and its environs of all civilians
who might hamper the military. Most
OF these people are going to the south
or west of France. The military gov
ernor of the city has put at the dis
posal of non-combatants $50 trains of
twenty-five cars each. Passage on
them is to be entirely free.
Troops Moved Quickly.
London, Sept 4.-Reference to the
titantic struggle between the German
army under Crown Prince Frederick
William and the forces Of France
which took place between Rheims and
Verdun Wednesday, Is made again to-
day from Berlin. If the Berlin state
ment proves correct-that three-quar-
tiers of million troops were fighting
in that region Wednesday lin the
greatest battle of history" it would
explain much Of what has been hap
pening in the western field.
To bring the troops in that region
to anything like the number of 100000
enormous French forces must have
concentrated at the expense of the
French left flank where the Germans
have been making progress with their
brilliant dash on Paris. The battle
along the Rneims-Verdun line has
been claimed, in an earlier message
from Berlin as victory for the armies
of the crown prince, who is reported
to have had the assistance of Emperor
William who was present.
That nothing further concerning
such history fight, now two days old,
has come through from any, source is
regarded as remarkable even in these

British Beginning to
Infict Heavy Losses
on German InuGders
By .Assoeiated Press

London Sept. 3, Ii a. m. The
Chronicles correspondent at the
front, writing from an unnamed town
in the department of Somme. Tues
day, says:
"The superiority of the British ar
tillery, coupled with the pluck of the
British infantry, is rapidly telling on
the German attackers few more
days such as Sunday and Monday and
the German army invading northern
France will have destroyed itself COM
pletely.
mo army that ever existed could
endure and survive the terrible losses
sustained by the Germans in the last
few days. Whole divisions of infant
ry have been blotted out and shat
tered, and the German ranks are be-
ginning to show Generalization.
I'm the latest assault the Germans
manifested unmistakable signs of un-
steadiness, were seen to waver and
frequently to break and flee in con-
fusion. AS a result of his prolonged
battle the German line has advanced a
few miles, but has not gained any
marked or decided advantage"

Russians Continue
Success in Austria
By Associated Press

LCndon, Sept. 8, 3.12 a. m. - The
Petrograd (St. Petersburg) corre-
spondent of the Post sends the follow
ing on the operations on the Russian
frontier:
Russia is scoring success after
success against Austria and is mo-
expecting news of a signal
victory.
The commander-in-c chief on the
Austrian front apparently plans to
drive in strongly with one army from
the east, starting from the Russian
provinces adjoining Rumania, and in
the meantime merely aims to restrain
the Austrian advances into the Polish
provinces, thus keeping Austria on the
alert along the lines of two to three
hundred miles.
while pushing temporary advances
in South Poland, the Russians were
forcing their way westward from
Podolia and Bessarab bia upon Lem
berg. When the Austrians finally real
lied the plans they attempted to turn
the Russian left flank near the juno
tion of the Gnita Lipa river with the
Dniester, and a sanguinary fight took
place there two days ago The Aus
trians were signally defeated, losing
5, 900 killed and many prisoners, in
cluding one general, 80 guns a stand
ard and quantities of supplies"

These are instructions which Lord
Kitchner has given to the officers who

They throw a strong light on the
situation. 1t is a race against time.
Speed in fitting out the second army
is all essential.
From the first it has been evident
that Lord Kitchener realized the gi-
gantic character of the work Great
Britain will be called upon to do. The
events of the last two weeks have to
some extent brought the force of his
conviction home to the thoughtful sec

strangely and astonishingly apathetic.

Sentence Suspended
on Youth Who Took
Bogus Subscriptions

Two noted Perry county jurists, one

judge. to-day helped a youthful de-
fendant who pleaded guilty to selling
bogus subscriptions to magazines in

through college. The youth told a

siding at a brief session of Dauphin

James w. Shull, his counsel, pleaded
for him.
The youth, it appears, is we'll known
and even popular in New Bloomfield,
but his desire to study at the Univer-
sity of Colorado led him to overstep
the legal boundaries to such an eX-
tent as to dispose of bogus subscrip-
tions. He tried to operate in this
city and was caught. In pleading,
Judge Shull said that friends of the
young man had provided for his col
lege course. Judge Seibert recalled
in afatherly sort of way how he
had passed the boy time and again
in the streets of New BLOOMFIELD and
had stopped to chat with him. Then
he suspended sentence.

Cavalry Rides Through
Heavy Fire to Silence
Battery of German Guns

London, Sept. 3, $40 a. b. - The
Daily Nails correspondents behind the
British lines described the charge of
the Ninth Lancers, which occurred at
an unnamed spot during the recent
series of tactical retreats, as a second
Balakalva. He says:
Terrible havoc has been caused in
our ranks by shells from a battery
of eleven German guns posted inside a
forests near the Belgian frontier.
1T seemed impossible to silence
their fire until the Ninth Lancers made
their attempt; riding straight at the
guns after debouching into the open
and charging under a hail of melinite
and lyddite.
"I have not been able to get reliable
figures as to the distance they rode,
but they reached their goal. Nothing
could stop them. They reached the
guns, killed the gunners and put the
prototypes of Balakalva, they rode
back.
Notable bayonet charges were
made at - (name deleted) on
Wednesday last. Several British in
fantry regiments occupied an exposed
position around which the Germans
gradually circled drawing the moose
closer and closer.
1.-The Britishers decided to cut their
way through the Gordon. So the men
went at it, yelling and shouting and
got through, although the German ar
tillery moved them down frightfully.
THE German machine guns have
been tremendously effective in all en-
gagements thus far Men who saw the
South African war say the hottest fir
ing there was childish compared with
what the British troops have under
gone since their arrival in France. So
far as l can learn thus far the Ger
mans have lost twenty-six of these
guns"

RUSH TO JOIN ARMY

The retirement of the allies without
defeat and fighting every foot of the
way Is an expression that has become
stereotyped. IL Is, however, about the
only official news that has reached
London since Field Marshal Kitch-
cner's story was given out last Sunday.
The Russian occupation of Lem
berg. the capital of Austrian Galicia,
may have far-reaChing effect on the
campaign i'm Eastern Europe apart
altogether from the loss of Austrian
prestige through the fall of the city.
More than three-quarters of the
population are Poles and the Russians
anticipate that their entry to the city
will contribute toward the hoped for
Polish uprising against Germany.
This uprising Emperor Nicholas
contemplated when he promised au-
tonomy to II united Polish kingdom.
The rush of recruits for the British
army Is phenomenal No fewer than
10000 men have joined Lord Kitch-
ener's second army i'm the past few

to act and to keep the army an un-
