impetus of the assaulting forces
was not diminished thereby dur.
ing the first four days, because
fresh troops were thrown into
the battle increasingly.
Advance, no matter what the
losses may be-" was the order
given to the German troops be-
fore the attack. This was veri-
fed by documents found on one
of the captured officers.
The most critical moment in
the six days action was when
the Germans gained a footing in
the entrenched camp by the cap
ture of Fort Douaumont. The
least hesitation on the part of
the defenders would have been
disastrous. The Germans re-
doubled their efforts to take ad-
vantage of any confusion, but
the French Immediately began a
counter offensive. French in.

to the trumpet charge and leap
ed at the first rank of the Ger

clash was murderous on both
sides. The thinned French ranks
were not to be denied, but went
on to the second German wing.

ried to their support. The Ger

TO SELECT
OFFICERS
Choice Of Moderator to Succeed DR.. Steven
son is Subject Of Interest TO Pres
byterians; Two Candidates
Prominent


BY United Press.
Atlantic City, N. j., May 19.-One
of the subjects of greatest interest at
the 12sth General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church, which is meet
ing here today, is who will be the next
moderator to succeed the incumbent,
the Rev Or. ]. Ross Stevenson, pres
ident of Princeton Theological Semi
nary.
Not for years has there been so lit
tie discussion before an assembly of
candidates. Usually the politics be
gin as early as the preceding January.
But within six weeks of the approach
ing assembly there were only two men
, who were actually known to have
their hats in the ring"
One is the Rev DR.. Samuel S. Pal
mer, pastor of Park church, Colum-
bus. Ohio. who was defeated candl-
date a few years ago. The other is
the Rev. DR.. John A. Marquis, presi-
dent of Coe College, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Both are we'll known through
out the church.
1t seems that geographically each
has good chance, as there is a SEN
timent to let the honor go to man
from the middle west.
DIR. Palmer was defeated at the At
lanta assembly, and Dr. Marquis re-
fused to let his friends nominate him
at Chicago, as they desired, so as to
leave the field clear for the Rev. DIR.
Maitland Alexander of Pittsburg, who
was elected.
II is possible that another candidate
may be the Rev DR.. Cornelius M.
Steffens, president of Dubuque Col
lege and Theological Seminary, who
was one of the defeated candidates at
Rochester. But many believe that
Dr. Steffens would not consent to run
against man in his own synod.
1t is possible that friends may put
forward the Rev. DR.. George B. Stew
art, president OF Auburn Theological
Seminary, Auburn, n Y. DR.. Stew
art was defeated also last year. Be
cause the three nominees at Roches-
ter-Drs. Stevenson, Stewart and
| Steffens-all have names which be-
gin with "st," they have been known
ever since as 'The Three Saints"
Another question that is interesting
Presbyterian leaders is who they

not required to act according to his
recommendations and frequently disre.

fHE WORD HELL.
A Little Book, That Contains Some
Startling Information.

A little book selling at only five cents,
postpaid, is having a very wide circula-
tion-running up into the millions. 1t con-
tains some very startling information re-
specting the meaning of the word Hell. It
claims to demonstrate, both from the He
brew and the Greek of our Bible. that
Hell is not place of eternal torment.
but merely another name for the Tomb.
the Grave. the State of Death. 1t affects
to show that man was not redeemed from
a far-off place of eternal torture, but
quotes the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the Grave at the cost OF
his Redeemer's Life and that the Scrip
tural Hope, 10th for the Church and tho
World, is resurrection hope based upon
the death and resurrection of Jesus. The
book is certainly worth the reading. The
Information IL furnishes Is certainly val
