School Of Religion Needed.

OF course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to be SO
named. 1t should be called the School
OF Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it TO be
an allthe-week activity During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes.
musical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held Tricky settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development Of
things spiritual.
The third task TO which the church
is committed is that of Christianizing
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit of Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.
Neighborly Love Essential.
II religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious bust
ness. for it will let no corner of the
world escape it's influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not a
thing to be practiced in corner the
better for the world. The question OF
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? OF the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results OF scientific research? OF
the twentieth. What can it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love OF
God. whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, II he
is a genuine follower of the Christ.
1t is the mission of the church-the
rural as well as the city--to evange-
lie the whole world. TO train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it evangehzes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.

 There is nothing more heard of the Development Board that bad been proposed for Alaska.

Several of the newspapers of the territory seemed to think that the proposal was a good one, but with all due respect to their opinion it can be prophesied that they would be the first among those obiectiug to the findings of any body that smacked of bureaucracy.-Seward Gateway.

 From telegraph operator at Nenana to the chief signal officer of the Villa forces in Mexico, is the jump taken by Samuel T. Fiske, formerly a first class sergeant in the United States signal corps Seven years ago, Fiske was op- orator at Nenana and at other points along the Tanana and Yukon rivers, working for a comparatively small pit. tance, while today he is making money fast and enjoying his life as a soldier of fortune. In the signal corps, Fiske was considered a man of unusual ability as wireless expert, and after leaving Alaska was in charge of some of the larger stations in the states. The news of Fiske's new position comes from signal corps men now stationed on the border who have been in communica. ton with their former comrade since he changed from a small fish in big pond to a big fish in small pond. It was but little more than year ago that he quit the service of the United States and joined the Villa forces, but owing to his ability as an instructor and or ganizer, he climbed rapidly.

Kapu gorges to the Cerna (Tzenar) River,
which flows northeast from the Monastir
plain and enters the Vardar, half way be-
tween the Greek frontier and Uskub. A
French patrol actually pushed across this
stream and reached the outskirts of Veles,
not more than twenty miles from Uskub.
Thus the whole episode suggested the
British experience in the Sudan, when
they lust failed to reach Khartum in time
tc save Gordon.
Bulgaria Takes Her Revenge.
But TO the north things were going far
too rapidly for the Allied hopes. To the
north and west the Serbs were retiring IT
good order and keeping their divisions well
in hand. But the Bulgar operations were
going on with almost incredible rapidity.
One Bulgarian army had moved west from
Sofia and Wdin along a broad front from
the Danube to the Bulgarian Morava and
was flowing steadily over into Serb terri
tory. It had occupied Prot, the Serb from
tier post, it had opened communication
with the Germans along the Danube and it
was approaching Nish.
A second Bulgarian army was doing
even better. 1t had been concentrated
south of Sofia, at the railhead OF kusten-
dill, lust inside the Bulgar frontier, and,
war having been declared, had stepped
over the mountains, pushed down through
Egri Palanka, reached the plain near
Kumanova, the battle-ground which had
seen the great Serb victory over the Turk
il the First Balkan War, thence 1t had
turned south, taken Uskub, after desper-
ate fighting, and was now pushing still
| further west, up the branch line to Kos
sovo. TO cut off the retreat of the Serbs.
The race was thus won by the Bulgars,
and il was won before the Allies had made
real start toward Uskub. II the Bull
garians could keep that cork In the neck
of the bottle which their second army con-
stituted, then the Serbs were lost 1t re-
NAMED to be seen whether the Allies would
succeed in extracting this cork by driving
the second Bulgarian army out of Uskub.
They had lost the race to the city, but tho
campaign was still undecided.
Unfortunately the Bulgars were able to
find men for a third operation. A strong
force coming in two divisions, the frst
from Strumnitza by the Struma Valley
and the second from Istip and tho Bregai'
nitza, across the battlefield where tho Bull

All this having been decided, the main
Serb army fell back in great disorder
INTO Montenegro and Albania. The
French for their part recalled their troops
from the environs Of Prilip and Veles, and
slowly moved south along the Vardar
Valley toward the Greek frontier, hating
temporarily at the Demir Kapu Pass.
There was no longer any object in hold
ing the Cerna front, since they had lost
the race, and their numbers were still
too small to hold back the ever increasing
Bulgarian pressure along their wide front.
Meantime, new perils were threatening
the unlucky Allied expeditionary army.
In their rear the main Greek army, which
had modified as the Allied forces were
landing. had been concentrated at Salon
lea. This army numbered at the least
100000, while almost as many more
troops were stationed along the Bulgarian
frontier. Greek official hostility was daily
Incoming accentuated; German officers
we're reported in Athens, and there was a
possibility that the Greeks might at any
time cut off the Allied retreat to Salonica.
New Perils.
In addition, 1t was now plain that there
would presently come from the north a
new storm. The Austrian and German
press had declared the Serbian campaign
IT, be ended; this meant that small force
would be left to contain the beaten Serbs
ct mouths of the passes In the noun
tains. and the balance would soon be
available for an attack upon the Anglo
French force.
The Allies we're thus faced with three
distinct attacks, in addition to the menace
constituted by the Greek army in their
rear. Down the Vardar Valley, follow
ing the Nish Railroad from Uskub, an
army was advancing anu Pieoohis H''
ily upon the French at Demir Kapu. At
Monastir an Austrian army was collect
ING and advancing toward the Greek
frontier. just south of this Macedonian
town. By following the Monastir-Salon-
lea railroad this army could interpose be-
tween Salonica and the Allies, following
in the last portion of their advance the
route of the victorious Greeks in the First
Balkan War. In the earlier campaign
King Constantine, having routed the
Turks at Yenitsa- Vardar, forced the river
crossing and closed in on the city.
Again, the Bulgarians were pushing an
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-12-19

other force, strengthened by Germans,
down the Struma Valley through kresna
Pass, along the road which the Greeks
had followed in the Second Balkan War
after their victory at Kilkis. East of the
town of Strumnitza this road meets the
Dedeagatch Railroad coming west to Sal
onica, and along this the Bulgars and
their German allies could push toward
Salonica, drawing supplies along this rail-
road from Bulgar and Turkish bases be-
yond the Mesta, that is, from Adrianople
and Mustapha Pasha.
In Tight Hole.
The Allied force then was-and is, for
the position has not been materially
changed, as yet-in tight hole. 1t was
threatened by a heavy frontal attack in
overwhelming numbers, directed at the
French, who had evacuated Kriviolak, let
90 of the Demir Kapu Pass and were now
coming back upon Gievgheli, and approach
ing the Greek frontier. Meantime the Brit
ish, who were east of the French on the
shores of Lake Dorian, covering the Dedea-
Catch Salonica Railroad, were under heavy
pressure and were being driven in on the
French with heavy losses and in some dis
order, having confessed TO the loss Of eight
guns and some hundreds Of prisoners.
The single question now was Could the
Allies get back to the district about Salon.
lea and dig themselves In sufficiently to
hold off the Austro- German-Bulgar ad-
vance, aided by the guns of the great fleet
in Saionica harbor? They might then fol-
low the example of Wellington, when he
stood at the Torres Vedras lines before
Lisbon in the Napoleonic wars. But there
was-and ia plain chance that their
enemies coming east from Monastir may
cut them off from Salonica by forcing the
passage of the Vardar, just west Of Salon
lea. There was an even graver peril that
their enemies, moving southwest from the
Struma Valley, might get astride the
roads and railroads leading to Salonica
from Gievgheli and Dorian.
To all intents and purposes the Allies
were now in the position of Sir John
Moore's army in the Peninsular campaign,
when Napoleon made his great drive in
Spain and left Marshal Soult TO finish the
task by driving the British into the sea.
Sout followed the British TO Corunna and
Just failed to destroy them, but they lost
their commander and were compelled to
