 is not exalted by material strength" ]" said he. ITO be exalted nation must have, beside material strength, the true ideals of brotherhood. The sec ond lesson that this war is teaching Is that might is not right, and any nation that thinks so to the contrary will re- gret it. The third lesson is that peo- pie have been wrong in saying that men are invincibly selfish, for this war offers thousands and thousands of cases of men gladly giving up their lives The fourth lesson is that the old belief that war is glorious is q false belief. War is far from glorious and we are realizing it today as never before. Because of the neglect of na- tional Christianity we find this war existing today. Christianity is for na- tions as well as for individuals and that will be the one great. comprehen- sive lesson this war will teach

COUNTER OFFENSIVE
 STARTED BY RUSSIA
NEW BATTLE DEVELOPING ON SAN AND DNiEsTER RIVERS
 MUSCOViTES RE-ENFOCED.
ATTACK MADE IN BUK0WINA
In Baltic Provinces Germans Claim to Have Defeated Russian North
 ern Wing.

London.-Russia has commenced her counter offensive against the Aus tro-Germans. who drove her Carpath- ian armies back to the San and Dnies- ter Rivers, and an entirely new battle is developing.
 The Russians, with strong-re-e enforce ments, have crossed the San conflu- once with the Vistula and are advanc- ing southward in an effort to outflank the Germans, who crossed the San in the vicinity of Jaroslau They also are striking hard at the Austrians in Bukowina, but apparently have made no further headway there, nor with their offensive in the Opatow region. The latter offensive, however, was a movement to uncover the German flank in Galicia, which it succeeded partly in doing.
 In the Baltic provinces the Germans claim to have defeated the Russian northern wing in the region of Shay Ii and also to have repulsed the Rus sian attacks from the Dubysa and Niemen Rivers.
 In the west there has been a se- ries of attacks along the greater part of the line, but no action of first i'm portance.
