GHENT, Jan. 2S.-St. Georges one
of the points where the Germans and
Allies have fought not for miles of
territory, but for feet, almost inches,
is a ruin today More than THAR, it is
a heap of debris. Other towns and
villages in Flanders are marked at
least by standing walls; st. Georges
is a wilderness of bricks, mortar char
red roof timbers and tiles.
There is nobody who knows exactly
how many times the Allies and Ger
mans have fought in the place, and
how often it has changed hands. The
French and English have it today, and
the Germans tomorrow.
ST. Georges is located about two
miles southeast of Lombardzyde, and
formerly marked the point where the
User and Blasschen canals connected.
Today the village is an island in the
"inundation district" A small cause
way gives access to the place. Over
this German sailors and marines have
again and again attacked the place to
the accompaniment of German artiH-
cry fire and the rattle of the machine
guns of the allies. On one occasion
German and Allies heavy artillery
bombarded the place simultaneously,
and machine guns sent halls of buI-
lets into it from three sides. Why
nobody knows. The Germans suspect
ed that the Allied troops we're in St.
Georges, and the Allies suspected that
the Germans were in it, each side TAX
ing it for granted that the lombard
ment itself was a sham manoeuvre.
But for some days now the English
have had the place, keeping it practi-
cally by virtue of the many machine
guns they have so posted that the mar
row causeway is swept by their fire.
This machinegun fire in and about St.
Georges never stops. The slow tack
tack" of the English guns, and the
more rapid sputter of the French init
railleusses" keeps up day and night.
Responsible for this are the German
sailors and marines who continue in
their efforts to retake the village.
When the wind sweeps over St.
Georges it carries with it the smell of
decomposing bodies. In the stiffness
of the night one hears from there the
groaning of wounded-of men who
yentured into or near the place, were
shot down, and then were found to be
beyond the reach of those who would
succor them. To venture into the open
along the causeway means either to

GEORGIA GOING
SUNDAY SCHOOL
SUNDAY, FEB. 4
ALL SCHOOLS OF STATE WILL OBJ
SERVE THIS DESIGNATED
DATE.

The executive committee of the Geor-
gia Sunday School association, rep
resenting the various denominations
of the state, and which holds its next
annual meeting in Americas in April
several months ago agreed to inaug-
urate GO To Sunday School Day"
in Georgia. The time agreed on is
February 14th because this is the
nearest Sunday to Georgia Day, which
is February 18th, and which is cele-
brated in all of the public schools of
the state. A responsive order of SER
vice has been prepared which will take
about ten minutes and will be furnish
ed free to any Sunday school in the
state in such quantities as desired.
The object is to get a large attend
ance in every Sunday school by using
the order of service and making it a
special day. and to make the session
especially attractive, so that all who
attend will be interested and get a
worldwide vision of Sunday school
work.
AS far as known this is the first time
in the history of the state that any day
has been used by all denominations as
a special GO To Sunday School" day.
There is broad field in the state for
an energetic effort to enlist people in
the Sunday school, since the white peo-
pei of Georgia number 1,523,661, and
only 322,166, or 81 1-5 per cent. are en-
rolled in the Sunday schools.
This low percentage is due in part
to lack of interest and enthusiasm in
the work in some sections of the state.
In one county there are only 10 Sun
day schools; in another only 8 have
thus far been located; another has on
ly one in 48 of the white population
enrolled in the Sunday schools. One
county has only two preachers, and
the Sunday school enrolment is about
4S0. A County Sunday school con-
vention was recently held in a town
of 400 where the Sunday school en-
rollment was only As.
However, the Sunday school is still
alive and is making wonderful pro-
gress. By all denominations working
together in cooperative effort, the
Sunday school enrolment of Georgia
can be materially increased. The CO
