ALITTLE CHRISTMAS SERMON.

Editor George Robinson OF the
Waco Times. Herald has a wonderful
pen for saying great deal In Few
words. We quote from him the fol-
lowing little sermon on Christmas
and while It does not occupy much
space in a newspaper column, II is as
long, as wide. as high and as deep as
the whole faith and doctrine OF the
Christian:
"The Christian renounces the world
and the devil. The world Is exclusive;
therefore, II is not Christian. The
devil would enslave; therefore. he
must be resisted. The strength oil
Christianity is in its inclusiveness.
No one Is excluded 1t makes its APP
peal to rich and poor alike. That Is.
true Christianity does this. There are
false Christs. There are spurious
Christians. 'Inasmuch as ye did II
not unto one OF the least Of these my
brethren, ye did II unto me- Get
the true Christmas spirit; 1T Is more
blessed to give than to receive As
sist the very poor. Comfort the lone
iy ones. And do II all in the right
spirit. Mere condescension is brutal
we are the children Of my father.
The outcast is your brother, your sis
ter. and you owe such an one you'
loving sympathy. That's what 1
means to renounce the world and th'
devil. Heaven is your home. Shal
you not try to take others along will
you? What shall II profit man Il
gain the whole world and lose hi
own soulg"

The British cabinet is in the throes
of the most serious disturbance it has
experienced since the war began
Lack of harmony in the cabinet and
ministry has been a serious HIN
drance to the efficiency and effective
ness of the British armies continually
since the war began and the present
crisis will be a hard blow to the cause
of the allies. This latest disturbance
is a elimination Of differences be-
tween Lloyd-George, head Of the war
department, and Premier Asquith on
vital questions of government and has
resulted in the resignation of the pre-
mier. Unless Great Britain settles
her troubles at home and gets firm
hold on the situation, and that at
once, disastrous reports may be ex'
pected from the front.

More than 100000 men have been
lost by the allies alone since the war
began. Add an equal number for the
Teutonic forces and the staggering
figures of thirty millions confront
you. Who would have dreamed three
years ago that such thing was pos.
sible? What a work Of destruction,
what a carnival of death! And the
end is not yet. Storm-tossed- passion
is still in the saddle, and iron shod
and covered with blood, is diring down
the sons of men with the hellish
hatred OF the furies. Civilization has
been turned back a thousand years.

FRENCH DEFENSE OF

Germans Declare Every Inch of Ter ritOry Contested For-Communi-

Berlin, April 7-Via London, April S) Information from French prisoners and orders found on them indicate, accord ing to German correspondents near Yer the importance of every yard of lost terri tory. French troops have been ordered to hold every inch of ground with all the force at their command, the correspond ents aver, and every German gain is reg istered only in the face of desperate re- sistance. The character of the terrain is well suited to defensive purposes. The assaulting forces are obliged to storn. over open ridges flanked by forests in which large numbers of slSillfulyl built-in end concealed machine guns are located, protected by basbed wire and other him drances The German conquest of Haul coutais another step in the increasing menace to the whole French salient, which still is commanded by Hill No. 304. The French rear communications are roads leading from Haucourt to Esnes and from Bethincourt to Esnes and both roads, as well as Esnes itself lie under flanking German fire from west and east and direct fire from the north.
 These troops, who are still desp erate.y holding Bethincourt, have only a single road to Esnes available. This road in places is only 1000 yards from German po- sitions and Esnes itself is only two and one half miles from Hill 29o.
