LOCAL PASTOR POINTS TO SUMMER PERILS
 IN WARREN DISTRICT
Rev J. RhyS Evans Tells His Congregation in Warren and Lowell About Four Sources of Danger.

Last Sunday, to attentive congrega- tions, both in Warren and Lowell, morning and evening, respectively, the Rev. J. Rhys Evans preached on the timely subject of Summer perils." He called attention to the four sour ces of these perils 1st-Perils due to the matching and cherishing of many forms of selfshness. He point ed out that morally and spiritual. as well as physically, vermin og all sorts were brough forth in the summer season. The many forms of extrav- agance, the pickering, the envying, the petty spirits, and small annoyances, were moral scorpions, centipedes and adders that carried with them their stings.
 2nd--Perils due to Iassitude. The moral and spiritual fibre in men is habby and irresponsive during sum mer months. The preacher regretted the fact that Christians in general lacked spiritual energy and zeal in summer time when men in shop and office, mine and factory were as active at this time as through the rest of the year.
 3rd-Perils due to blurred and hay visions. The summer haze and fogs SO often veil the distant vastness from our vision
 The glowing sunshine contracts our eyes and very often we are blind to the glories beyond Privileges, duties and obligation are easily lost in the summer haze.
 4th-Perils due to the drying up of streams of sympathy The shrinking of rivers and the drying up of water holes in summer is very symbolic Of the condition of things in our midst today-our heyday of prosperity The stream of substantial sympathy to- wards the work of God runs in very shallow beds There is danger that the milk of human kindness is sour ing these days. In summer people are prone to be self-pleasing The converging Of all things in self is ruinous to all interests outside

Whipping has been practically abolished in the Louisville schools. Only in extreme cases is 1t resorted to as a means of punishment Because of this policy a teacher recently wrote the mother of boy that he was de- stroying the descipline of the class room, doing poorly in his lessons, frightening the other children and breaking practically all the rules, and 1t was imperative that she give him a sound thrashing in the interests of the school and the boys future,
 The mother wrote back
 Whip him yourself ] ain't mad at him"

A merted retort is not always a retort courteous The rebuke that was administered a party of intruding tour ists by the old watchman who was set 10 guard the ruins of College Hall at Wellesley, Mass, not long after the great fire conveyed a keen but sub tie reproach
 We've got 10 keep out he ordered gruify, when he detected them trying to slip under the ropes that sur rounded the crumbling walls
 The inquisitive visitors paused and eyed first the ragged walls and then the determined guardian
 See here. a callow youth accosted him, we're willing 10 risk it, and we'll take all the responsibility What do you care if We lose our lives?"
 We've got to keep out. l aint .thinkin of your lives; I'm thinkiu of me job.

 No replies to the Pan-American ap- peal had been received today. State Department are undecided whether to make them public when they are re- ceived before another conference with the Latin American diplomats is held. The language of the appeal makes it appear the Mexican leaders may in- vite some of the Latin-Americans to arrange the proposed peace confer ence and ignore the offer of the only those invited will participate in the arrangements.
 Parker also reported destitution among Americans in the capital and said 120 being aided by American ern- bassy attaches, had asked to be sent to the United States.
 A message from Consul Silliman Iat Vera Cruz reported that the Bishop of Vera Cruz. who had been inaprison- ed by Carranza for some time, had been released.
 Consul Sillinan has been stricken by the hot weather but his illness is not serious.
 Advices from Monterey said Villa forces under Risalio Hernandez, and sRaouI Madero, had advanced within nine leagues of the city.
 General Carranzass agency here uo- day made public teIegrarns from sew eral generals pledging their support to General Carranza. The ageaeyvan- nounced the telegranas were written at g, time when the general feared ia threat of armed intervention by the United States in the internal affairs of Mexico and eof participation in that movement by South and Central American countries.

RUSSIANS OPTIMISTIC
 ON OUTLOOK IN EAST

Petrograd, Aug. 16.-The military situation is viewed by Russia officers with a, degree of optimism owing to the manner in which the Germans have been checked at the crossings of the rivers Liwiec and Krzna, east of dlce-LukoW front, where the in- vaders lost 800 prisoners in addition sof a heavy toll of dead and wounded. Confidence is felt here that the Rus slams will be able to make any fur ther eastward progress of the invad- CTS very costly to them
 Fierce battles are looked for in the district between the Nurec and Narew fdvers and at the crossings of the. Bug. The inmediat tes German objec- tive is believed to be the double track Railroad which roughly parallels the Present fighting line, running from A5ssowetz to BialystoI. Brest-Litosk
 nd &oyeI. This road is protected by 1ense forests and by the marshes Of tne region of the Upper Narew-
 Russian military critics find it diff Sfeult to reconcile this evidence of
 eakness wth German claims to un- diminished strength The Russian theory zs that there claims are ad- vanced for effect on the Balkan states.

 PRIVATE BUSINESS
Special to The Farnner)

stratford. Aug 16.-James Lal1y, second selectman of Stratford, is us- ing the tools If the town of Strat- ford in private contracting work in the town of Milford.

STRUGGLE NEAR WARSAW
 TELLING ON BIG ARMIES

London, Aug 16.-BIilitary opera flons in the eastern field are develop ing slowly. Both sides show the ef- fleets of the intensity of the Warsaw struggle. The German advance now now centers on the efforts of Field Marshall Won Hindenburg to force troops across the fDvinaL and eastward in the general direction Of the Petro- grad, and the approach of the army of Prince Leopold of Bavaria to the new Brest-Litovsk defense. Notwith- standing the steady pressure of the Germans the Russians have succeed ed. tlnfs far, in holding them west of the Dvfna.
 The Balkan crisis is drawing near a climax. The national assemblies of Serbia and Greece meet to-day with the probability of a. definite decision nandss upon which hinge the ques- ton of united action of the Balkan states with the allies.
 Tn the best posted quarters here the outlook is regarded with degree of pessfmism. It is expected Serbia will seek a compromise and Greece will reject the Bulgarian contentious.
 Reports from Athens indicate. that King ConstantineSis insisting the new cMbinet must maintain strictest neu- frality,s the effect of which would be to withhold Greece from participa- ting in a plan of united Balkan CO., operation with the allies.
 In the meantime there are many evidences of. Austro- German .prepa- z-atIons to deal with the Balkan situ- uatfon. According to information from Bucharest, German army corps have been Concentrated near the june ton of Hungary, Rumania and Ser bia This, with the bonbardment of Beabrade ana the activity of Austrian artillery at many ponits along the Danube, lends support to reports of a great sAustro-G German offensive in the BaIkans.
 The outcome Of the crisis is awaited with, anxiety to determine whether the allies will receive new support from the Balkans, and whether Ger qnany's supplies of ammunition for Txrkcy will continue to be shut off by the Balkan baFrier.
 Bulgarian officials do not expect an agreement will be; reached, but the Serbian minister at London, M. Bosh- 11ovitz, told The Associated Press he believed a middle ground would be Hound on which it will be possible to unite the Balkan states.
