Among other features enumerated
in the report are a police force Of

the German soldier guards; public

be justly found in some departments.
the fact remained that the conditions

AUSTRIANS SAY
LEMbERC COAL
OF CAMP AICN

Austrian army headquarters in Ga
licia. Sunday. July H. via London. July
l., l135 A. M.-The relative subsistence
of activity on the part Of the Teutonic
allies during last week may be eX-
planned by the fact that the goal set
for the Lemberg campaign already has
been attained. This was the recap
ture of the city and the securing Of
strong defensive positions to the east
ward and northward. These positions
have now been secured along the line
of the Zlota Lipa and Bug rivers and
the ridge TO the northward OF Krasnik.
The Russians attempted counter
offensive from Lublin against the Aus
ro-German positions north of Kras-
mix, bringing up heavy achievements
for this purpose. Owing to this move
ment the Austrian troops, which had
rushed beyond the positions originally
selected, withdrew to the ridge, where
they have been successfully resisting
all Russian attacks. They feel secure
in their present positions and it is be-
heved here ii can be easily held
against whatever forces Russia can
throw against them.
Indications now point toward a Pc
Rod of quiet along the Russo-Galician
front, while the Teutonic allies are
preparing for operations in other quar-
tiers.

Dr.. Amos r. Wells

Dr. Amos r. Wells, editorial secretary
Of the United Society of Christian En-
teavor. spoke Sunday with zent on the
need of efficiency in church work.
If man must be trained to run =
locomotive; why not to run prayer
meeting" he asked. is the way to
heaven less important than the way to
New York?
"A man must be trained TO teach Ro-
man history; why not to teach mission
STUDY class? Are not missions trans
forming the world more than the Ro-
mans ever did?
I'VE insist on efficiency in the worlds
work; why not in church work" Is it
not plain that the concerns Of our end
less life are infinitely more important
ing and selling, the losing and gaining of
this instant on earth and is it not the
height of folly to educate men elaborate
ly for the last and not at all for the first"
Yet in general even now, the average
Christian is not doing any definite and
systematic work for Christ; and the
Christians that are working definitely
and systematically; stumbled, the most OF
them, upon their work, and blunder
along blindly for lack of training.
IF the average Christian were trained
in giving, the mission boards would need
to advertise that they had more money
than they could use.
IF the average Christian were trained
in temperance work, a saloon would soon
be as rare as the kettle of a cannibal
IF the average Christian were trained
in lookout committee work. all the car
penters and nasons in the land would
be kept busy enlarging the churches and
building new ones.
The world puts us Christians to
shame All occupations are crowded but
the highest of all occupations. Profess
sional schools are lengthening their
courses and stiffening their requirements,
but Christians rebel at the simple, ele-
rnentary requirements Of the Christian
Endeavor pledge.
In continuing his address, DIR. Wells
set forth how the Christian Endeavor
Society was prepared to meet the needs

London, July y. 11.45 A. M.-Com-
parative calm exists in the various
fight areas, with the exception of the
Austro-ltalian front, where the 1tal-
ians claim a substantial advance in
their efforts TO invest Triest. Petrograd
is elated at the Russian success over
the Austrians who are said to have
lost one Of the three corps which be-
gan the advance against Lublin. The
entente allies are reminded, n Jwever,
that this is only local triumph on 40
miles of q thousand-mile from.
Austrians operations against the
Warsaw Railroad have been checked if
not thwarted. which. means that, the
threatened advance. on Warsaw is a
Iietle less dangerous than when the
Austro- German attack began.

A dispatch from Austrian headquar-
tiers in Gaicia explains the apparent
lull in the Austro-German advance by
asserting that the Teutonic allies fix
ed Lemberg as the objective of the
present campaign with the idea of es-
tablishins themselves in strong de-
fense:ve position TO the nocthward. in
order TO use part of their troops else
where. 1t is claimed that this has been
accomplished by establishing lines
along the rivers Bug and Zlota Lipa
and the Krasnik ridge. II is fucJi. er ex-
planned that the Austrians proceeded
beyond krasnik, but. encou1terins IN

sitions originally selected, where they
