TWO FRENCH "75'S" STOP BIG
ONRUSH OF THE GERMANS

London, June 13.-How two French
"75's' stopped a German advance I'M
der difficult conditions is tod here by
H. Warner Allen in a dispatch from
the front. He says:
"The Argonne, with all its cover, is
difficult country for artillery, but
the French gunncrs there have accom-
pIished number of feats of which
they may well be proud. There is a
point on one Of the tree-hidden roads
of the forest which is shown to the
visitor as the scene Of the exploits Of
certain artillery lieutenant. 1t is no
distance from the German lines, but
on one occasion, when The Grown
Prince was hammcring away at tie
French trenches and his infantry had
left their cover the lieutenant brought
up two '75's' and set them one on
either side Of the road. There was no
time to lini, Up his guns to the from,
trenches, but, with the aid of a com
pass and 4 map, he blazed away at
the line where he was convinced the
Germans would try to pass. He knew
the country well, and scarcely wasted
a shell, so efficient were his map and
compass. The German advance sud
denly stopped, and the next day the
French counted 400 bodies on the steep
hillside, for the majority Of which the
two '75's' had been responsible"

to Draw Large Audiences
and Interest Grows
Especial Correspondent


For nearly three weeks the leading
protestant churches of this city have
been participating In union revival
meetings. Under the preaching of
Rev. Frank R. Margetts, 27 have made
confessions of Christ, the church peo-
pie of this community have been won
to a stronger faith and closer fell
lowship and many non-church people
who have heard the strong and fair
plea of the evangelist for the cause of
righteousness have been led to great
er respect for the church and the
things for which the church stands.
On Tuesday night the theme was
Emotion in Religion" and after
hearing which eleven persons, mostly
young people of high school age,
stepped forward boldly and confessed
Christ. The meetings, which will close
Sunday night, have reached their eli
max, and it is expected that the most
successful meetings are yet to follow
Rev. Nell, as choir leader, has
proved himself an adept in carrying
into the spirit of the songs the entire
audience. The choir has practiced
two anthems to be rendered at the
Sunday services.
Friday night the subject will be "a
Destructive Tenant" Saturday night
"Where Ignorance is Not Bliss" Sum
