GOD FOR GERMAN REACTION?
Pastor Sees His Hand in Defeat of Equal
Suffrage in Prussian Landtag.

Writing IN q recent issue of the ReIchS-
CottcS-Botcn, a German religious publi-
cation. the Rev Pastor Bohmerle gave
expression rs follows to his satisfaction
At the defeat Of the proposal to grant
equal suffrage to the male subjects OF
the King Of Prussia
1t was grand thing when 4 malori-
" Of fftv-two men of different parties
was found in the Prussian Landtag for
the rejection Of universal and equal
suffrage We cannot regard II as any
thing else than saving act Of God
In this matter We have no partisan in
terests, nor even political viewpoints,
but only the interests of faith We be
lieve that II Is in opposition to every
divine order To value all men upon an
equal basis. and that such an act Of
irreligion would be bound 10 bring a
curse upon us.
Furthermore, we believe that it is a
gross injustice to force through such
an important decision now in midst Of
the severe world conflict And finally,
we know very we'll that this suffrage
law would put the reins of power into
the hands of the ant-Christian spirits,
and We should like to see our people
safeguardcd from this as long as posi-
BILE, because of our most profound and
pure love for our people.

FAyREUIL STREETS RUN RED
WITH BLOOD OF HUNS.

With The British Army in France,
Monday Aug 26.-The extension Of the
British line north Of the Scarpe has
brought the attackers 10 within striking
distance of u good part of the Hindenburg
line
The British made steady progress
again today especially on the new section
OF the front around Bapaume and astrlde
the Somme. German resistance again
was stubborn. However, it is beginning
to look as though the enemy is fighting
rear guard actions.
No fresh German divisions have been
identified in the recent fighting Ele-
nents of nearly thirty German divisions
many of which have been badly hit and
crippled, are striving to hold of the
British There are signs of even greater
confusion behind the German lines
Companies have been whitfield down
until they hardly contain > men,
according to prisoners
General Ludendorf perhaps has some
plans to make stand TO the rear of the
present line and is saving what men he
can for that purpose.
There was hard fighting today around
Bapaume. Favreuil just north of Ba-
aume, has been taken and the streets
run red with the blood of Germans
killed there. The enemy was prepared
70 launch counter attack here, but
rs his troops moved toward the town
from the east they were caught under
the fire of the British artillry The
British then stormed into the town and
captured what remained of the enemy's
force ITO men and FIVE officers From
Favreuil the British pushed east and
south further encircling Bapaume
There are unconhrmed rumors that
British patrols have reconnoitered into
Bapaume and have gone some distance
without seeing any of the enemy British
shells have been raining down on Bapaume
for many hours.
The new section of the battle front
Just south of the Scarpe offers great
possibilities. The attacking forces here
are driving eastward astride the Arras-
Cambrai road and now are beyond
Monchy-le-p -preux and Wancourt These
points virtually are on the Hlndenburg
line
Scores of British planes continued
their systematic attacks upon the enemy
troops Tanks again distinguished them
selves by overwhelming difficult points
where the concentration of machine
guns delayed the advancing infantry
