GENERAL CREAGH IS EXPECTING A RUSSIAN
 OFFENSIVE ANY TIME

London, May 21-The probability of a heavy Russian blow on the East front increases day by day, General Sir O'Moere Creagh, Lord Kitchener's S successor in India and one of the ablest military critics in Great Britain, wrote last night:
 "In my view there will be a Russian offensive, and soon."
 Germany, in seeking to profit by the Russian situation, has undeubted- 1y weakened her forces in the east. That the German High Command is nervous over this situation is indicated by the battle news from the East front, where the Tentons have lately struck ia considerable force at widely separated points, as though to make up by the vigof of these attacks the of the lines, and to forestall any contemplated drive at it's incep- ion. It is significant. too. that fra ernization between the lines has

ceased.
 'Hindenburg's man power resources are now reduced to the snapping point, and the break would almost certainly come with drive by the Russians on any such scale as that projected by Brusiloff last year. Austrian help for the Germans must be limited, since the Austrians have their work cut out for them to cope with the new Italian offensive. Turkey and Bulgaria may not yet be broken reeds, but they would afford poor support in such an emergency, being fairly, busy in Mace donia, Palestine, Mesopotamia and the Caucasus.
 srThe enemy's comments on the Italian offensive reveal that it opened with an amplitude. of artillery. When the heavy guns are active on all fronts simultaneously, preparing the way for the infantry, then the numerical strength of the Allies will tell.

REV. DR. VIII. DAY
 ADVOCATES. TEAM
 WORK IN RELIGION
Thus Men May Live As Chil. ,dren, Not As Beasts
 Claw to Claw.

Dr. Day, of the United Congrega- tional church, yesterday addressed a large congregation on Our Fellow ship in Furtherance of the Gospel" or, to put it in modern phrase Teamwork in Religion He said in part:
 There is nothing more important than teamwork in religion, fellow ship in furtherance of the gospel. In speaking of this fellowship I shall ask you to think of it in three parts: First, that our fellowship is a fellow ship of service. Second, our fellow ship is one with another. Third, our fellowship Is with Jesus Christ. And, as I speak of these three parts I want to remind you of this great principle which comes to us in ath- letics, and is equally true in religion: single games may be won by star plays, championships never. Re- ligion will never do it's work in the world without teamwork. The gos- pei will never win mankind unless it be furthered by 8 complete fellow ship.
 "It is bringing a message to the men who are alienated from one an- other, message that will call them into fellowship one to another, until they shall be willing to live together, not as children of the beasts, claw to claw, but as children of the light, eye to eye, because they are the sons of the living God. They are chil- dren of the living God who have darkened their hearts with sin, and the duty of the church is to illumine them until they should come back again and try to live as sons of the living God. The business of the church is to establish social fellow ship amongst men, and spiritual fel- lowship of man with God. This world task will never be done except by teamwork, but if Christians are one in this great task all things are pos sible.
 "Fellowship with Jesus Christ means not primarily something mys- tic, but something very tangible, If you and I begin to have the mind of Christ, begin to try to forgive as he did, if we begin to try to be one with God as he was one with God, if we begin to try to love as he did, and to meet suffering as he did, we shall be in the fellowship of the Father. and of Jesus Christ his Son, no matter how limited our creed may be, and because I know in this company there are those who are determined to have fellowship with the Father and with Jesus Christ his Son, I can say with one of old I thank my God for your fellowship in further ance of the gospel and I am persuad- CT, I am confident of this-that He who began a good work in you will not fail te perfect it until the day of Jesus Christi

Dr. William T. Hornaday, the presi- dent of the United States Junior Naval reserve. in recent address to the New York cadets said:
 'At the beginning of the war the United States navy was short 18,000 men and 1900 officers. This condition had Existed for years because we be- lieved no nation would attack us. If Junior Naval reserve had been >estab- lfshed ten years ago there would not have been that shortage in the navy and there would have been no need for conscription today or even a whir1- wind campaign all over the country for recruits. The Junior reserve has established scores of training schools where boys learn something before they grow to manhood so that they

 Dr. Hornaday, who is one of the founders of the Junior Naval reserve, has sailed the seven seas and knows what it is to see and taste the blue waters. He is the directors of the New York Geological park, in the Bronx, and is one of the worlds fore- most natura1ists.

REVOLUTION IF DEFEATED.
Germans Would Go on Idea They Had
Been Deceived.

New York, July ia sweeping vic
tory by the. entente allies, sufficient ii
its effect to arouse the German people
to realization that they have been de.
ceived, is the only thing that will bring
about a revolution and the overthrow Of
the Hohenzollerns, according to Prof
Herman Feernau, a German journalist
and author of "JAcsusi," pamphlet
published in Switzerland at the begin
ming of the war and suppressed by that
government. Feernau, now a political
refugee in Switzerland, is quoted in an
interview obtained by the Switzerland
correspondent of the Rnsskoyo Sloyo, the
text of which was received here yester-
day by the official French bureau of in
formation, cabled from Paris.
Il consider revolution in Germany
possible only IN event of sweeping mil
itary victory by the allies" Feernau is
quoted as saying "The fortress of the
Hohenzollerns is impregnable in appear
ance only, and it may crumble to pieces
at an unexpected moment. The Social
lists have been deceived, as have all others
in Germany, by continuity of official
lies since the beginning of the war, when
the German government announced
French airplane raid on Nuremburg and
that Russian troops had violated the
frontier.
Later on the Socialists learned they
had been deceived, but they had not the
courage to change their attitude. The
Socialist party in Germany is, moreover,
big capitalistic business. They have
twenty-five million marks invested in
various enterprises, and they control sew
eral thousand officials and employees. The
Social Democrats prefer to lose their
honor rather than their money.
"0n Aug. 2, 1914, Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg called all the Socialist
leaders in Germany into conference, and
he told them bluntly, Either you will be
with us or we shall destroy your organi
zations'
''The Socialists decided to support the
government and continue their business.
There is no doubt" the interview
continues, that the repression in Ger
many of any popular movement will be
attended by terrible results, and the rev.
olution will be the bloodiest that the
world has ever witnessed. This revolu- i
ton, however, will only come after q
singing defeat, as only then will the peo-
pie of Germany be sufficiently indignant |
against the Hohenzollerns and the mill
