Soldiers Getting Too Friendly.

Petrograd, May 7.-Gen. Gurko,
commander on the western front, is-
sued an order declaring that frater-
nizing Of Russians with enemy troops
must be stopped. He declares this
practice enables the enemy to learn
Russian military dispositions and by
causing lull on the Russian front,
permits the Germans to concentrate
their forces against the British and
French.
He warns the Russians that IL the
fghting comes to a standstill on the
western front the Germans will
throw their forces against the Rus
slams. He says three divisions Of
Germans have already been trans
ferred from the Russian front. The
order concludes with an appeal to the
troops to do their duty toward Rus
sia and her allies.

Germans Retake F1esnOy.

New York, May 8.-By using fresh
divisions In powerful counter attacks
the Germans have succeeded in driv-
ing the British from Fresnoy village
and wood.
Fresnoy Is q town on the Arlas
front, five miles southwest Of Lens,
and was captured by the Canadians
on May 3. Since the taking Of the
town by the British Nforces the Ger
mans have made desperate efforts to
recapture It. and the lighting has
been almost continuous on that part
of the 'Hindenburg line.
Despite this success for the Ger
mans, however, the great human nip
pers which Gen. Haig has forged
around the southern end OF the Dro-
cour-Queant switch line are steadily
closing, and the rolling up of this i'm
portant section Of the German de-
Tense appears to be a matter Of q few
days. The Drocourt-Queant line is'
the hastily improviscd barrier thrown
up by Field Marshal Won linden
burg to protect Cambrai and Do,lai
after the more famous line, named in
honor Of himself, had been smashed
by the British.

q. w. Pitts Severely Injured.
(Tugaloo Tribune, 8thD


The Westminster relatives and
friends Of Geo. w. Pitts. the telegra-
pher at Deercourt, Ga. are sorry to
learn that he got his right arm aud
leg broken Saturday afternoon while
attempting to move turn table for
second No. 80, northbound freight
train, to pass over the main line. 1t
seems that an improvised turn table,
similar to the one operated In front
Of the Tribune office two weeks ago,
was used at Deercourt for the con-
struction cars TO cross over the main
line. These tracks had not boon
fully cleared by the party or parties
whose duty 1t was TO see that it was
done. and Mr.. Pitts on seeing an ap-
proaching train went out to turn the
table, and by some means the track
or some part Of the table was hurled
against him by the force OF the en-.
gine. resulting in the injuries above
stated. Mrs. Pitts put her husband
in an automobile and carried him to
Toccoa, where his broken limbs were
set. He IS now at his home in Deer
court. His brother, I. s. Pitts, and
Mr.. and Mrs. James Lawrence we're
over to see him Sunday. We join
with many friends in wishing Mr..
Pitts speedy recovery.

After the failure Of the first
French attempt to break through on
the Aisne on April 16, the enemy,
with all means at his disposal, pre-
pared a fresh operation. Worn-out
divisions were replaced by fresh ones
and further reserves brought up. The
artillery and mine throwing fire in
creased day by day and finally attain
ed. by means Of the employment OF
all calibres, the greatest develop

forerunners Of a new attempt to
break through, which began yester-
day morning on front OF 35 kjlo-

ucd late into the night. The attempt
was vain. The gigantic thrust was
entirely repulsed. The attacks were
arrested in hand-to-hand fighting by
our heroic infantry or repelled by
counter thrusts as well as in part as
a result Of our well-directed artillery
fire. At some points fighting took
place for possession OF our foremost
trenches. East Of Royere farm we

"As on May the French stormed
with special violence, regardless Of
extraordinary losses, against the
Winterburg, where our positions
were completely destroyed by the fire
of guns Of the heaviest calibre. The
height. with the village OF Chexreux,
situated on the slope, remained in
possession of the enemy. Several

The Rt. Rev. VIM. IT, Russell, d. D.,

supernatural life; the second shows
the open Bible with the cross and
crown, teaching that it is Through
the cross we win our crown" the
third exhibits the tablets of stone
containing the Ten Comm'an dments
of God. The ten windows of the au-
ditorium of the church give forth, in
symbolic art. Biblical representations
Of Christ and the Evangelists. There
are three statues in the church. The
one over the altar represents Christ
with arms outstretched blessing the
world and showing His heart, which
was pierced for love of man; the
others represent, respectively, the
Blessed Virgin Mary, holding the In
fant Jesus in her arms, and st. Jo-
seph, the foster father Of Jesus and
spouse OF the Blessed Virgin. Four
teen pictures hang on the walls Of
the auditorium. These are 1.-The Sta
tions Of the Corss" and they depict
incidents in the life of Christ from
His condemnation by plate to His
burial.
The church thus strives also to
preach, Through the eye," the chief
truths and myst cries OF our Christi
anity, and SO MAKES art the handmaid
Of religion.
