SATURDAY TO BE

Tells Women They Are
Largely at Fault For
Double Standard

Character and determination are
needed to win In life, and the
righteous life Is the only one which
counts in the end, DR.. w. A. Erwin,
evangelist, told his audience at the
First Presbyterian church Thursday
evening.
Tonight will be Sunday school
night, a service directed largely TO
Sunday school teachers and workers.
Saturday night will be booster
night with number OF unique fea-
lures or stunts and with q, chorus
made up of young folks from the
Sunday schools.
Last night DIR. Erwin depicted the
Holy City at the time of Daniel, be-
fore the Babylonian conquest, and
placed beside it a picture of the
pagan city Of Babylon. He describ-
ed the life Daniel led in his home
city and that to which he was taken
as a captive along with others OF
the Israelitish youths who were
taken by their captcrs, and also
showed the temptations to which the
young Daniel was exposed when
chosen by the king from among his
fellows for a position In the court.
! DR.. Erwin took his text from Dan
And Daniel purposed in his heart
that he would not defile himself
The whole sermon was illustrat-
ed with examples from the lives of
men and women who devoted them
selves to the right and who accom-
plished great things.
Speaking OF the double standard
Of morality in vogue today he said
that it was largely the fault Of the
women themselves.
You allow men privileges which
they will not allow you. A man will
curse and swear in his own home
before his own women foIlzs-but
does not dare to do Il before his

very likely kick him into the street.
I believe in the golden rule, DO unto
others as you would that they should
do unto you The man who treats
the wife, sister or daughter Of an
other man differently than he would
nave that man treat his wife, sister
or daughter Is a coward-un1it for
the society of decent people. Apply
the golden rule of conduct to your
lives, demand the best Of others and
give to others the best that is in .

In opening his address, the
preacher said to the older folks,

The British nevertheless are pursuing
the Germans across fairly high rolling

the artifically flooded area south of
the Scarpe and the southern fringe
of the old Somme battlefield are SO
bad as to be largely impossible. yet
between these limits the going is still

or being carried off by the troops.
Further confirmation of the mutt
nous spirit in sections of the German
army has been received. Prisoners
who were in the immediate vicinity Of
an engagement on August 90 say
that an infantry regiment of Ba-
varian division suddenly threw down
their arms. They retired, declaring
that they absolutely refused to fight
for Prussia any longer.
In addition to other troubles which
seem to have been multiplying of
late. the German commanders now
their System of defense with respect
to depth is totally inadequate under
the conditions encountered in con-
tinuous fighting.
Must Hold Fore Line.
A captured 18th German Army or
der says:
"A new outpost zone cannot be Sc
lected daily. and the troops must hold
the foremost line. The troops must
understand this, or they will retire
against the wishes of the command
and describe the ground which they
have lost as an evacuated outpost
zone. This cannot be permitted for
tactical reasons and must not be al
lowed for moral reasons"
The most important news from the
north today is direct confederation
of the fact that the Germans are
working with all haste in the prepa-
ration of their rear lines east of the
River Lys, and that they are being
reinforced with concrete machine gun
nests in considerable numbers.

Seven Of the enemy were captured,

none were obtained men were con-
