The Christmas Dispatch.

1t is always apleasure to look through
our newspaper advertising at this time
of year, with all the suggestions of
holiday good cheer that it brings.
Reading the advertisements about gifts,
lucious food, and winter supplies, seems
like walking along in front of the show
windows in some brilliantly lighted
street.
Even If one can not afford to buy
much Of all these good things, there is
a pleasure either in looking at them or
reading about them IN the newspapers.
and most of US get some share of them.
The story told by our advertisers at
this time of year is one of business en-
terprise and forethought. The money
tied up here in Christmas stock repre-
sents a big investment, made in the
faith that the people will buy literally
as in the past. For sensible minded
people there is no end of useful pres
ents in clothing, furniture and dry
goods. For the children there is the
same old bewildering array of toys.
For good livers there are the fruits and
goodies and substantials of the year.
For all which the public is referred to
our advertising columns, for a real
human interest story.

ARMIES CONTEST
GREEK BORDER

Paris, Dec. German forces rush
ed to southern Serbia to cooperate
with the Bulgarians in a movement to
overwhelm the Anglo-Freneh eXpedi
ton sent to aid the Serbians fought
a desperate but indecisive battle with
the troops of the Allies.
The situation in the Balkans is de,
yeloping rapidly and is said by the
military experts to be approaching a
crisis.
The Germans and Bulgarians have
reached Kenal, on the Greek border,
ten miles south of Monastir, where
they are threatening to Outflank the
Anglo-French army. The Bulgars,
supposed to be supported by the Ger.
mans, have attacked the allies ex.
IRENE right wing near Strumitza.
Under this pressure the French
have withdrawn from the Krivolak
salient and at last accounts had taken
up a position at Demirkapou, in a
deep gorge about twenty miles from
the Greek frontier, through which the
Salonica railway runs. Here they
were attacked by the Bulgarians At
ter hard fight the Bulgarians were
Tepulsed, Paris reports.
The plans of neither the allies nor
the Germans are yet clear, but news
dispatches indicate that theGermans
are determined on crushing the little
force which went to the assistance of
the Serbians.
The retirement Of the allies TO
Demirkapou has led to the repor that
they intended to abandon the Balkan
enterprise entirely.
The following official communication
was issued by the French War Office:
THE day was comparatively calm.
Artillery actions took place in Artois,
in the sectors of Loos and Givenchy,
between the Somme and the Disc, in
the region of Fouquescourt.
"In the fact of the activity of the
enemy artillery, our guns opened &C.
ton with great violence. Observa-
tions made by aeroplanos enabled us
to establish the efficacy of our fire.
Fighting with grenades continued
to the east of the Butte de Souain,
where we made progress. Between
the Argonne and the Mouse, near Beth
incourt, our batteries destroyed reser-
yoirs containing suffocating gases.

PAST YEAR IN LUTHERAN CHURCH
Membership Gained 81 200. Income
Amounted to $50S, 600 Distributed
Among Twelve Societies.

Lutheran church membership in
America is shown by the Year Book to
have gained the past year 81, TOO, on a
total membership that now reaches
2,414, 116. American foreign missionary
income last year amounted to $508. 600,
distributed among twelve societies.
The General Council reports a falling
off in membership, due it is said to re-
visions of church rolls. The General
Synod, the Oldest of the Lutheran bodies,
gained %, 900, and the Synodical Con-
ference, chiefly German, gained Al, 900.
Sunday school membership generally
about held its own. In the General
Council, however, there was a gain of
II, 600 children. Money contributions,
both for parish support and for benevo-
lences, gained steadily in spite of con-
tributions to war funds, which have
been large from the Germans in partic-
ular. The General Council and General
Synod gained each 100000 in benevo-
lent gifts, while the Synodical Confer
ence gifts went ahead by S241, 900.
American Lutherans now have no few
er than siXty-fve synods, many of them
holding no fellowship whatever with
other Lutheran synods. There are
1927 Lutheran ministers, the largest
number yet reported.

London, Dec. 13.-The British Tenth
Division was saved by the gallantry
OF three Irish Regiments, the Nun

of Bulgarians and Germans, the Lon

The loss of 500 men and the aban-
donment of eight field guns is admit

When the Allies found that retire
ment to a new position extending
from Lake Dorian to the Vardan Val
ley was inevitable, the British, who
had advanced a long distance from the
railway to the northeast of Lake DOR
an, were confronted by an army much
larger than their own and had to cut
their way out. The hardest of the
work fell on the Irish troops.
The French are reported by the
Bulgarians to be preparing new posi-
lions on Greek territory, near Maja.

RabrOyO and ValandOyo.
London announces that both the
French and British are now retiring
in an orderly way with an unbroken
front, but Sofia and Berlin dispatches
assert the retreat of allied troops is
panicky, and that many war materials
and large stores of provisions are be
ing abandoned in the flight.
The capture Of $500 prisoners and
40 guns in the Montenegro and AL
bantam campaign by the Austro-Hun-
garian forces is reported.
On the Russian front the Germans

Exceedingly Grave.

Berlin, Dec. 11.-After a battle last

losses were inflicted on the Bulgarians

dictionary force began a general re

The fleeing army is making its way
with all haste, but in good order, to
the base at Saloniki, where it will
find safety under the protection of
the guns of the allied fleet.
Both the British and French are

machine guns and have an abundance

before superior numbers.
They kept up an unequal struggle
until threat of an outfanking move
ment from PetroyO, where the Bull
garians were massed in large num-
bers, and a thrust at their line of COM

who had crossed the Greek frontier
made their position untenable.
London dispatches indicate that the
British military experts consider the
situation of the allied armies in the
Balkans exceedingly grave.
Extremely cold weather favors the
success of the Bulgarian operations.

FOE TO BLAME
IF WAR GOES ON
Were the Kaiser to Take Initiative
Conflict Would Be Prolonged is
Answer to Socialists

Berlin, Dec. 10-(via London)-
Germany is ready at any time to con
slider peace suggestions from the coun-
tries with which she is at war.
So long as uncontrolled hatred of
Germany and the belief that she is
approaching collapse continues to be
the dominant idea of the enemy cOun-
tries it would be folly for her to take
the initiative in proposing terms of
peace.
Germany does not wish a continu-
alton of the war and associates her
self, under these circumstances, from
any responsibility for its prolonga-
ton.
This, in substance, was the state
ment of DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg,
the Imperial Chancellor, in the Reich,
stag, when he made his long-expected
speech in answer to the Socialist
Interpolation on peace, and painted a
picture of Germany triumphant on all
sides and supplied with everything
necessary to continue the war, even
though some supplies were not abund-
ant
Important paragraphs in the Chan.
cellor's speech are as follows:
If our enemies make peace propos-
ais compatible with Germany's dig
nifty and safety then we shall always
be ready to discuss them.
Theoretical arguments for peace or
proposals of peace will not bring the
end nearer.
Small countries are in a serious
plight since England has been fighting
for them.
The war can be terminated only by
a peace which will give the gertrude
that war will not return. We all agree
about that. There lies and there al.
ways will lie the root of our strength
We all agree that our food supplies
are sufficient, that the only important
question is distribution. The eco
nomic unit strengthening from Arras
into Mesopotamia cannot be crushed
London, Dec. 8.-The MARQUIS OF
Crewe, speaking for the Government
in the House of Lords, said that the
British force under Gen. Townshend
in MesOpotamia was considerably lar
ger than a division (about 10000
mem. The statement was made in
| reply to criticism of the Government
for sending as small a force as a sin
gle division to attack Bagdad.
The force sent, Lord Crewe said
was considered by competent military
observers, to be sufficient for the task
He added that the advance on Bagdad
was contemplated months ago, and
that the whole proceedings were or
dered by the commander in chief. Gen
Townshend, Lord Crewe said, has re-
tanned the confidence of his superiors
Baron Sydenham thought the one
bright spot in this very dark picture
was the manner in which Gen. Town
shend's forces fought at Ctesiphon.
