London. Jan. 7.-Neither Turkey nor
Germany has conceded the defeat OF
Turkish armies in the Caucasus, as
claimed officially in Petrograd. AS fur-
ther details Of this fighting is received.
1t would appear that this reported
Turkish disaster has been as complete
as that suffered by any forces since the
outbreak of the war. In spite OF this,
however, the latest official communica-
tions from Turkey altogether ignore
the fighting in the Caucasus and dwells
upon the struggle which has spread
over the Persia frontier to Urumiah, an
important town where the Turks say
they, aided by the Persians, defeated
the Russians.
The Germans are no nearer to War
saw and there is little change in Po-
land. The Russians seem to be concen-
trating their main efforts in the Car
pathian passes. At the same time they
are continuing the offensive in Buck
owina.

Let my prayer be against their evil
deeds" He is thus decided in his at
titude toward the wicked and their
temptations. when their judges are
overthrown." The leaders Of evil will
meet with their just deserts, and they
will be thrown down by the sides OF
the rock' and SO executed. At such
time he stands ready to speak counsel
to their deluded followers, even words
that 'are sweet so that they may be
delivered from further calamities.
Verses 7-1O-True words.
The godly have never escaped perse-
cution from the wicked, and often their
distress has been great The psalmist
refers to this desolating experience in
the words, "Our bones are scattered at

martyrdom for the truths sake. Men

native Christians in India, China and

that he also was strengthened. Leave
not my soul destitute" Let me not be
exposed SO that my life will perish ut
the hands OF iniquity. Keep me from
the snares." He realizes that the wick

will try to get him by subtlety and
take him unawares. This is exactly
the way of the te1npter. Think of the
number Of boys who, by plausible ap-
Deals, are being led astray to swell the
ranks OF the drnnkards. "Sins Of the
workers of iniquity." There are nu-
merous baits to catch the innocent, and

The man who uttered this prayer to

effective way of fighting evil was to
hold up the shield of faith. With which
he could queuch all the fiery darts OF

shows that he was in great need OF

is always ready to help us, but very
often We postpone seeking him until
near the twelfth hour ana then it is
all hurry and excitement AS incense

kindled before its smoke asccnueu so
there must be the flame of devotion in

IRON IN WATER.
1t Takes Only tho Least Little Bit to
Make Itself Felt.


Half a part per million of iron in
water Is detachable by taste, and more
than four or five parts makes water un.
nalatable. In some mineral springs
iron IS the constituent which imparts
a medicinal value to the water. but or.
dlnarily 1t is undesirable. More than
20 parts per million in water used for
laundering makes Il stain on the
clothes. Iron must be removed from
water from which ice is made or a
cloudy. discolored product will result.
An iron content Of over two or three
parts per million in water used in the
manufacture Of paper will stain the
paper.
Iron Is harmful in water used for
steam1ng. for it is in equilibrium with
acids which inside the boiler become
associated, with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates, but
the amount of iron carried in solution
by most waters is so small that the
damage 1t does to steam boilers gen.
orally amounts to little.
Waters having high iron content
have In some places, where they have
been used as city supplies, caused an
Immense amount Of trouble and ex-
pense. for they favor the growth Of
crenothrix to such a degree that the
water pipes become clogged with the
iron sheaths Of that organism. The re-
moval Of iron from water is sometimes
easy and sometimes very difficult

A German soldiers letter, published
in the Berliner Zeitung am AIittag,
says:
"1nasmuch as there is nothing that
can be bought In the villages just be-
hind the German front. coin has lost
all it's value On the other hand and
in the same proportion, the value Of
the cigar has increased. 1t now forms
the basis Of the entire trade here.
ut makes no difference whether you
have a fine cigar or one Of the cheap
variety, such as those Of which you
can buy three for 5 pfennig at the VII
lage shop, their buying power and
value are the same.
Use Cigars as Money.

Of the Single cigar Standard as one
might say, very lively system Of
barter in commodities which for the
most part come as loving gifts from

A flask Of cognac, irrespective Of
brand, costs thirty cigars.
