Gradisce- krivolak, but we advanced as
quickly as possible and reinforced our
troops on this front.
AT the beginning of November we
succeeded in repelling the French over
the line krivolak- Vardar- Cerna Our
aim was to outfiank the French front
and surround them after the arrival
Of sufficient forces. The occupation Of
the eastern slope of Radowil Pianina
brought the aim near, for the FRENCH
were surrounded in the northeast, the
northwest and the southwest. They
perceived the dangerous situation and
Immediately decided to retreat, escap-
ing the threatened catastrophe
1T must be stated that the French
carried out the recreating movement
excellently for they succeeded in free
ing themselves from our grip The
whole front Of our troops assumed the
offensive about noon and occupied the
line krivolak- Negotn- Kova dartzi. The
enemy hastily retreated. pursued by
our divisions. After operations upon
Pristina the general staff of the field

vehemently. Il went to him the first

Just then the door opened, and Ro-

and began story Of a grievance
which he also had against the Courier.
THAT impudent young Englishman
whom Marchmount has turned loose on
this community was at the factory this
morning inquiring about conditions Of
the operatives, the average wage of
the employees and a lot of other i'm
pertinent questions. He acted as
though he owned my office and said
that the conditions in my factory were
of public interest and that he repre-
scented the public"

something to that Courier or it will

said the lawyer finally, "but l am

until after this Sunday business is

l don't think there will be much in
terest in anything else while the clown,
Sunday, is in Bronson"

responded McCrea ruefully, Il am
afraid things will be worse than ever.

"Mr. oWnley ] want to have a PLAIN
talk with you on this subject"
Allan Rutledge looked closely at his
companion and remained silent.
Take Bronson as an example Of
what l mean," continued Mr.. TOwnley.
There are numbers of young men and
women who are led astray in Bronson
every year, but these young people are
not so much to blame. Society is to
blame for allowing these gambling
dens, houses Of vice and saloons to eX-
ist. Let Mr.. Sunday turn his atten-
ton to society and seek to redeem us
socially and 1 will back him up with
my full strength, for | know he is a
man of power"
MIR. Townley, I want to have q
plain talk with you on this subject. |
have felt that you were not altogether
in sympathy with our campaign and
that you suffered it to go forward more
to please me than because it appealed
to your conscience and judgment. Let
us talk frankly together. Unless you
are prepared to back Mr.. Sunday in
his effort for Christ and righteousness
in Bronson our forces are divided right
at the start"
But l shall certainly not oppose
him, and l wish his campaign all the
success possible" said Mr.. Townley
quickly.
Il have noticed that Thomas March
mount is making the Courier real
factor for progress" said Mr. Townley
little later. Did you read his article
in yesterdays paper entitled Give Bill
ly Sunday a Hearing?
Il surely did" responded his COM
panion, land l want to tell you that
Mr.. Marchmounts change of attitude
is due in part to the fact that he came
over to some of the evangelistic meet
ings | have been holding lately every
Sabbath evening"
Albert Townley looked at his fellow
minister in surprise at this speech.

laughingly. ":You know. l have a spe-
cial friend in the Courier Office. Reg
inald Nelson told me that Mr.. March

replied the other.
But he has never confessed Christ"
answered Allan, land the non-Chris-
tians of Bronson are already hiding
behind him, as they do behind every
good man who refuses to align himself
with the Christian forces"
Il thought l was going to have that

Albert Townley regretfully. "You

him to Bronson, but you soon captured
