against the German positions be-
tween Hangard and the southern
outskirts of Villers-B s-Bretonneux. The
latest reports recorded some prog
ress, but an intense conflict was in
progress and the situation was
nebulous.
Hold Villers- -Bretonneux
Yesterday Villers- -Bretonneux had
been cleared of the enemy, who over
ran it on Wednesday, and the British
by brilliant counter attacks had re-
taken virtually all their original
positions.
The main interest from the mill
tary point of view to-day centred
in the northern contest, where the
Germans have been making such de-
termined efforts to gain control Of
the chain of hills, of which KENNEL
is one, and thereby threaten the
Allied positions to the north.
French Battle to Last
This morning found the Germans
| holding the salient which they had
driven into the French and British
lines beyond Mount KENNEL, Kcmmel
Village, Dranoutre and farms,and ham
lets in the immediate vicinity.
a gallant regiment Of poilus had
been ordered to hold KENNEL Mill at
all costs. After the Germans had
broken through the defending lines and

CHAPTER XI

John Butler sat motionless for
some time after Elizabeth Wade had
gone into the house. He was think
ing very hard.
This past week on the farm had
done wonders for him, he reflected,
He was more light-hearted than he
had been since leaving college,. Yes
existance here was delightful.
Yet, as he mused, he realized that,
while his experiments on the Wade
farm had been intensely interesting,
he had not until this past hour felt
the keen enjoyment of life of which
he was now conscious. Could his in
terview with this girl have made this
difference?
OF course she had nothing to do
with it! he declared impatiently. I'm
til tonight he had not even consid-
cred her enough of Importance TO
talk to-not until he had reused her
anger. BY Jove-but she had looked
pretty then-with her cheeks flush
ed and her eyes flashing!
He recalled that at the time of mis-
arrival he had regretted the presence
of a young person in this household.
He had seen her from his window
and had supposed, from her appear
ance, that she was of his own class
and had been NeXed at the tnOuSnI
that he would have to be on terms
of equality with her.
Later, when he had been introduc-
ed to her and had learned that she
was the young cousin of whom the
farmers wife had spoken, his annoy
ance had vanished. His only inter-
est in her then had been that she re-
minded him of someone he had met
but of whom he could not remem-
ber. After which the farm and work
had banished her from his thoughts.
Yet here tonight he had been
talking to her as if she belonged to
his own world. in spite of the fact
that she was Mrs. Amos Chaplin S
cousin and protege.
What difference did that make?
he argued. Suppose the. girl was of
humble origin and had not had such
advantages as his sister has had,
might it not be well worth know
ing?
Mentally he compared her with
his sister. Surely this girl from
Mauch Chunk was quite as refined
in speech and bearing as was Alicia

fashion of Jesus, as set forth in the
PeIshing and Gladstone


Pershing and Gladstone
Boys especially need to be i'm
pressed with the attitude of really
great men toward the Bible and re-
ligion. They should hear, as 1 have
heard, Lloyd George. the Free
Churchman, publicly asking his fell
low Christians to pray for him; or
Admiral Beatty calling the British
nation to prayer. General Pershing's
message to his soldiers in France is
also message to the world:
Hardship will be your lot, but
trust in God will give you comfort;
temptation will befall you, but the
teachings of our Saviour will give
you strength. Let your valor as
soldier, and your conduct as a man,
be an inspiration to your comrades,
and an honor to your country"
William e. Gladstone uttered
this testimony to the workability
of the Bible:
what crisis, what trouble, what
perpleXity of life has failed or can
fail to draw from this inexhaustible
treasure-house it's proper supply?
What profession, what position is
not daily and hourly enriched by
these words which repetition never

now, as in the days of their first
utterance, the freshness of youth
and immortality? When the solitary
student opens all his heart to drink
them in. they will reward his toll,
and in forms yet more hidden and
withdrawn, in the retirement of the
chamber. in the stiffness of the
night season, upon the bed of sick
ness, and in the face of DEATH the
Bible will be there. it's several words
how often winged with their several
and special messages, to heal and
to sooth, to uplift and uphold, to
invigorate and stir. Nay, more, per-
haps, than this; amid the crowds of
the court, or the forum, or the
street, or the market-place, where
every thought of every soul seems to
be set on the eXcitements of am
bition, or of business, or of pleasure,
there, too. even there. the still small
voice of the Holy Bible will be heard,
and the soul, aided by some blessed
word, may find wings like a dove,
may fly away and be at rest"

Over in Britain a visitor is inn
pressed by the remarkable emphasis
that is laid upon the leadership of
President Wilson. 1t Is not in the
United States, but among our allies,
that one finds the clearest recogni-
ton of the place that this modest
civilian and eX-schoolteacher has
made for himself as the interpreter
and voice of civilizations highest
conceptions and convictions. He has
rendered articulate for all the allied
nation the profoundest sentiments
that animate. them in this gigantic
struggle. All the world around, in
benighted Russia and far Caucasia,
Woodrow Wilson is a name known
and trusted and honored.
Whence comes this power and
wisdom? No school of professional
diplomacy trained this man. He is
not witnessing the Towering of any
deep-sown plans for world-d domin-
ion. No com bination of warriors or
statesmen has put him into his
unique position at the forefront of
mankind. Wherein, then. is the eX-
planation? The answer is at hand.
President Wilson is a Scripture
saturated SON of the manse. His
ideals are those of the Bible. His
spirit is. that of simple Christianity.
He has dared to apply the principles
of Jesus to international relations.
The origin of the new standards of
statecraft, and of the essential aims
of the allied nations in this war, is
nothing less than the Bible.
Upon this point, of the peculiar
place of the Bible. President Wilson
has put himself clearly and repeat
edly on record. One may find his
words hanging upon the walls of
Young Mems Christian Association
huts all over France. Consider the
pertinency of this quotation, from
him. Il am sorry for the men who
do not read the Bible every day. 1
wonder why they deprive themselves
of the strength and of the pleasure.
1t is one of the most singular books
in the world, for every time you
open it some old text that you have
read a score of times suddenly
beams with a new meaning. There is
no other book that / know of, of
which this is true; there is no other
book that yields its meaning so per-
sonally, that seems to fit itself so
intimately to the very spirit that is
seeking it's guidance"
Behind Wars Wheels
The world war colors our entire
thinking. We see everything in re-
iation to this all-transforming strug-
gle. When we seek to look dispas-
sIonately upon the conflict itself, and
to discern it's real causes and issues.
we behold that it has become a war
for ideals that have come into the
world with the New Testament. The
common thinking of civilization has
become so saturated with the teach
ings of Jesus that men deem His
standards of righteousness and

its mobility lies its great usefulness.
1t can be fired from any position,
more commonly from either the hip
or the shoulder. 1t fires at the rate
of about 600 shots a minute, though
in actual practice it is fired in bursts
of three or four shorts at a time to
prevent overheating the Darrell. 1t
is fed from magazine holding 20 car
tridges each.
It's mechanism is simplicity itself.
The gun is good to look upon, neat
er, more compact and made in more
beautiful lines than the other guns.
It appears on the order of repeat
ing shotgun and its firing is almost
faultless, which is to say that in
several thousand rounds fired on the
range the last two days only one
malfunction has been due to the gun,
and that was matter Of adjust
ment Of a gas regulator.
The arrival Of the ordinary rifle
and the machine rifle is something

ready heightened interest in range

made thus means q Strengthening Of
