EASTERN BATTLE RACES
Austro-0srman Forces Making Slow

London.-There is still no sign Of
waning in the battles which are being
fought along the eastern front that
now run almost directly north and
south from Riga to the Roumanian
frontier. From Riga southwark to the
Galician border, the Germans and Aus.
TRANS, who are continually receiving
tons by railway and river, are endeav-
oring to force their way to the Dvina,
and the main trunk of the important
railway lines.
The Russians continue their often.

with excellent results. The --Austro-
German offensive is making slow but
steady Roadway. particularly along the
road to Glonim and Pinsk. Elsewhere,
the German official reports daily re.

The Germans big effort. however, II
is expected, will be made against vii.

town heavy engagements are being
fought. Having reached the Dvina at
Friedrichstadt, and drive the Rus.

are in a better position to advance on
Dvinsk, as there is no danger Of any
outfianking movement. The slowness
Of the operations probably is due
largely to the condition Of the coun-

them to make preparations for great
resistance on chosen lines protected
by marshes and swollen rivers.

London Official admission that the

for the first time In the House of Com
On Sept. IA.
The subject was raised when the
motion for adjournment vas made. 1t
was brought up by both the opponents
and advocates of conscription. Pre-

nounced:
This Is not a matter which has es-
capped the attention of the government.
When the government. without undue
delay and with the due elaboration
which the gravity of the subject de-

sions they will be presented to the
House and will then become the sub
ject of parliamentary discussion"
The premier expressed regret that
the expression of the best way "in
which this country shall meet the call
to bring the war to a successful conclu-
sion" had become a matter of public
controversy.

man ambassador, as a result Of his con
ference with Secretary Lansing.
Details OF the conference became
known throwing light on the critical
point that had been reached in the re-
lations between the two countries.
The Washington government was al
most ready to sever diplomatic rela-
tons, but decided to delay taking any
step until Germany could be furnished
the evidence in its possession on the
Arabic case.
F~riendliness and candor are under
stood to have characterized the CON
versation between Mr.. Lansing and the
ambassador. The ambassador has been
given an opportunity to communicate
freely with his government. so that it
may be clearly understood in Berlin
why Washington is convinced Of the
torpedoing Of the Arabic could not
have been a mistake. justified or IN

1t was made clear to Count Won
Bernstorlf that the United States
wants a %disavowal of the act. Arbitra-
ton cannot be an issue for c%onsidera-
ton until the attitude Of the German
government toward the act itself is
put on record. Later the American
government may take under consider
alton a proposal to arbitrate.

1t is irrational to think death ends
all. for then life is gone and annihi.
lated. and 1t is just as though it had
never been. A life can in nowise be
destroyed by death. What has once
been experienced is an eternal and in
delible constituent Of reality never
more to be erased or altered. 1t is q

presses with the pistol in his hand, III

makes the wise man and the fool. the
coward and the hero. the noble and the
villain. equal That cannot be. DEATH
sewers the thread of the earthly life,
but the content Of life can neither be
altered nor annihilated by it. Reality
is eternal In its essence. Nothing that
is real can. to quote Angelus Silesius,
ever perish and cease to be.-Professol
