PARIS, April IL.
German infantry attacks with liquid flre

assaulted the French position in Bols

All night long the German guns hurled

ers were hurled against the French posi-.
tions In Cailletto Wood on Tuesday and
against French positions on both sides Of
the wood.
The attack was made by four columns
over front two miles wide. The object
of the first column was to throw the
French back on Bras; the second column
sought TO rcCapture CHillettc Woods, and
check the steady advance OF the French
In that region; the third column was to
reocCupy Vaux village. while the fourth
was sent against the slope Of Fort NauX
The assaults were delivered through a
yellow haze caused by the tear shells"
which the German artillery had fired
against the French lines before the infan-
try was sent forward. For miles around
the atmosphere could not be breathed,
and the men fought with their poison gas
masks on, making n strangely grotesque
picture.
The French line held like stone wall,
except in the centre, where the battlc-ov-
ing Brandenburgers were able 20 capture
some trenches. They were bUsIly en-
gagged in consolidating their new positions
at sundown when French reserves counter
attacked and the Germans were driven
back losing about 100 prisoners.

Until the text of Germany's reply to
the Inquiries of Ambassador Gerard re-
garding recent submarine activities can
be thoroughly studied. President Wilson
can take no steps to bring the situation
to a head. But under no circumstances
diplomatic exchanges of this officials at
the White House and the State Depart
ment said today The situation is grave
because of the general belief that Ger
man submarines are disregarding orders.
At the White House today, 1t was said
that the President still had all of the
questions at issue under consideration.
but that no action would be taken until
the entire facts being gathered by the
State Department are In his hands. The
aftldavits in the Sussex Englshman, Man
chester Engineer and other recent cases.
gathered by the Embassies i'm Paris and
London, will reach here tomorrow, and
the German reply denying responsibility
for the Sussex and defending action in
other cases, is expected about the same
time.
On the eve of determining a course of
action to pursue with Germany in the
dangerous situation arising out of recent
submarine activities in the English Chan
mel. the question facing President Wilson
and his advisers today seems TO be:
How far can we go with the evidence
at hand?"
The President and his Cabinet are said
to be convinced a German submarine
sank the Channel packet Sussex They
are also said to be convinced German
submarine commanders have embarked
on a new reign of terror. in which the
safety and rights of neutrals are being
disregarded with amazing abandon. But
conclusive proof that a German SUBJ
marine sank the Sussex may be lacking.

are not destroyed They would still be-
long to the great world Of mankind, for
whom Christ died, and who have not
vet received in full the blessings of re-
Cancellation with God through the Lord
Jesus. Such glorious favor may be eN-
pected for the world in general during
the Millennium, when all the families Of
the earth will be blessed, and brought
TO a knowledge of the Truth and to an
opportunity of accepting il to saliva
tion.
If our surmise be correct. Ananias and
Sapphira were in very different posi-
tion from Judas, who had companied
with our Lord for years, had witnessed
His miracles. had received of His Holy
Spirit. and through that power had cast
out demons, healed the sick, etc Our
charitable thought for Ananias and Sap
phira is, that if they had received the
HOLY Spirit, they but imperfectly appre-
ciated what they were doing. Although
they knew that they were practicing a
deception, they apparently did not get a
proper focus upon the matter. Our eX-
pectation for them is that they have
not sinned unto death: and that the life
that they lost they will receive again in
the resurrection, with full opportunity
to get matters straight and to determine
finally their loyalty or disloyalty to God
under clear illumination. The lesson tc
us is "Tako heed that no man take thy
crown"

on all the company when they heard
these things.
Why Repentance Was Not Preached.
st. Peter doubtless remembered his
own sad experience, when he denied the
Lord. We query, why did he not sym
pathize with Ananias and Sapphira,
point out wherein they had erred, urge
them to repentance and join with them
in prayer rather than pronounce upon
them the death penaltyl
One thought is that these two culprits
were not really Gods children-that
they had never received the begetting of
the Holy Spirit; and that the Lord took
this opportunity TO give a great lesson
TO the Church-to remind them that
they were dealing. not with flesh and
blood, hut with Jehovah God. From this
viewpoint, il was worth while to sac
rifce these two persons under Divine
judgment with a view to teaching the
Church, then and in future generations
how displeasing in the Lords sight is
hypocrisy especially in respect to re-
ligious things
II these two had been spirit -begotten
their destruction would be the second
death. and we would have no Scriptural
ground for expecting them to have any
resurrection or future consideration from
the Lord. But if they were merely chill
dren of this world, not fully appreciativC
