London, July 29.-The probobIe

planned by the critics, and while in
DONG so they rendered great service
10 the western allies and inflicted
terrible losses on both Austrians and
Germans they may now give up all
and more than they gained.
1t is anticipated by the Petrograd
papers that the whole country if

would be made the occasion for grear

reported that Emperor wiiliam has
arranged to make a state entry into
the city, accompanied by the En-
press. The Empress has been on a
visit to Field Marshall Won Hinden-
Durg at Allenstein, East Prussia. and
left there yesterday with the Crown
Princess C"celie, for Neidenburg,
which is across the Polish border.
In the meantime fighting OF the
greatest intensity continues around
the Polish triangle, and as Berlin
claims no important success, except
the repulse of Russian attacks, il is
presumed that the Russians are hold

In the west there has been little
happening beyond the usual bom-
bardments and sapping, mining and
bombing operations.

for the failure to supply sufficient
munitions.
He also criticised the governments :
delay in using gas against the Ger
mans and he suggested that the rea-
son for the failure to do this was q
breakdown in the arrangements.
Sir Henry concluded that the dis
content among the workers was due
to the failure of the government to
deal with the question OF food sup
plies, which he contended, was re-
sponsible for the increase in the cost
of living.
Sir Arthur Markham said the pub

office, which had proved miserably
inefficient in its conduct of the war.
Sir Henry did not press his amend
ment and Premier Asquith's motion
that parliament be adjourned from

Justice Ford Announces Refusal
to Grant Him Another Trial.
FINDS NO PRECEDENT.

Husband in Cell.

- A~ " siioi " ShdIlSS becker, the
former police lieutenant under SEN
tence Of death for instigating the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler. This decision means that
Becker must be electrocuted on Fri
day.
Justice Ford announced his decis-
ion late tonight after he had labored
for several days and nights on the
briefs submitted for and against the
application for n new trial. He call
ed the waiting newspaper men into
his chambers, and. as his secretary
handed them copies of his typewrit-
ten decision, the justice said:
Il have denied the motion for n
new trial. and this is my birthday.
I'm SO today. It's a pretty tough
way to spend your birthday, isn't
it?
II virtually arrived at my decision
Tuesday night, but spent many hours
since then phrasing and arranging
the opinion"
Then the justice chatted for sew
eral minutes on the law involved in
the case. Only newspaper men, his
secretary and brother, Michael
Ford, and clerk. were present.
None Of Becker's counsel was there.
Mrs. Becker was said at that very
moment to be visiting her doomed
husband in Sing Sing.
Justice Ford's opinion contained
about 1900 words. 1t went into the
details Of the affidavits filed by the
attorneys for Becker anl declares
that the evidence proffered sis for
the most part cumulative and hence
insufficient"
Referring to the plea Of w.
Burke Cochran, chief counsel for
Becker, that the right to grant a new
trial is inherent in the court, the de-
cision says:
Il cannot find anywhere in the au-
thorities. even a suggestion. that this
court possesses any such inherent
power. On the contrary. as has been
pointed out. the power is granted by
statute and must be exercised in
strict compliance with it,"
In conclusion the court SAYS:
AS / studied the authorities and
examined the affidavits the convic
tion has grown upon me that it Ca
new triaD could not be granted with
out disregarding the law and at
tempting to usurp the functions of
another department of government.
"The motion is therefore denied"
The decision refers at some length
to the case OF r. C. Benham. which
was urged by Mr.. Cochran an grounds
for granting a new trial.
1t declares that the mblance
between the Benham and Becker
motions is that the defendants each

In the Benham case there was new

SO pre-eIninently that this lesson might
well be study in personality. They
are teaching today to remember
that the greatest victories of life are
not won on the battlefield, but in the
arena of a mans own soul. The mas
terry of our spirits, the control of our
temper and talents and the subjugAtion
of self are the first lessons we all must
learn IL we are to make our lives as
successful as David and his friend JON
athan, and escape from the snare Of
selfshness that made sauls career
one OF the most gigantic blunders and
colossal failures IN history.
We can trace in the preceding chap
ter the friendship OF Jonathan, the ia
FOR of the people and the enmity Of
Saul for David. Jealousy is found IN
all ranks and classes OF humanity 1t
is one of the most subtle enemies to
DO dealt with. for frequently under the
pretext of religious zeal a self-deluded
soul will seek to accomplish his per
sonal vengeance. Saul tried various
expedients 10 secure the death of Da-
ytd without SUCCESS. because he had put
tis trust In Jehovah. who saved him
from the growing envy and designs OF
Saul, who plotted to kill the brilliant
young leader.

Saul's Sinful Schemes.

The success of David. who carried
himself wisely where most men would
have Numbered. won the favor of the
servants of tho kings household and
tho plaudits of the masses. It is nat
ural in all lands and among all peoples
to applaud the hero and sing his
praises Women have throughout his
tory been especially charmed with the
career OF the heroes Of the battlefield.
II was their singing OF the praises OF
David. giving him credit for the
slaughter of tens of thousands, while
saul had only slain his thousands, that
filed the king with malicious hatred.
Saurs reason gave away before his
unjust suspicion OF David. Aside from
hereditary tendencies and cerebral Ie-
sions. nothing tends so much toward
producing the fixture Of wrong ideas al

Friendship Tested.

SauPs effort to break the tie Of fell
lowship between David and Jonathan
resulted differently from what the king
desired. The prince, whose friendship
with David probably antedates the vic
tory over Goliath. loved his brother-in-
law. David. as his own soul.
Their compact Of friendship the king
could not break, because the tie that
united them was spiritual. not carnal.
Marriages made in heaven of spiritual
affection are not broken by men. If
the unity between the two friends had
been selfish Saul would have succeeded
In securing the support of Jonathan in
his malicious schemes to destroy David.
Jonathan demonstrated his love for
his father and David by showing the
angry father his error and bringing
about a restoration OF til. ties that had
been broken. Saul could not quench the
spirit OF envy that had found Judgment
in his thoughts. so he tried to send his
1aVel1n through him in a moment OF
passion. but David had learned how to
dodge the angry efforts of the king SO
he escaped from his evil plots. Michal.

When David was compelled to flee

was dear to him. he sought the shelter
the king tried to obtain him as pris-
oner. but the unseen spiritual power
prevented him. Jehovah once more
demonstrated His ability to save by
, preserving His servant. We wonder
| sometimes why God allowed His serv-
ant to suffer. as David did, forgetting
That without the cross there can be no
crown. David's life was sweetened and
strengthened by the love of Jonathan,
whose heart was bound up in the life
of his friend. While David knew that
| he was chosen Of God to rule. he waited
until God should give him the kingdom.
Nowhere can we find any trace of his
seeking to stir up a rebellion against
his bitterest foe.
David, while he waited, enjoyed the
protection and guidance of God until
