GERMANS HALT IN
 TASTY PLIGHT 0N .
 TINE RIVER SfLLf
On Tip of Wedge South of Le Cateau Is In Hands
 Of the Allies.

(Early Associated Press Summary
 The Germans have paused i'll their flight before the Anglo-American ad- vance from the Canlorai-St. Quen- tin line .long enough to attempt a stand along the Selle river south ward from the tip of the allied wedge at Le Cateau.
 'ALomentarily. therefore, the line appears to be stationary along this front, where the enemy has hastily dug in. Field Marshal Haig, in his official report today, did not men, tion any new forward movement here.
 Kept Hot For Fritz.
 The line is an extremely unstable one, however, and the German de- lenses are described as mere scratch es of the surface.
 There seems every proba bility therefore, that the allied drive will be resumed as soon as the guns and tho transports catch up with the advanced clements for a powerful push at the improvised German po- SltiOnS.
 Britons Near DOuai.
 Meanwhile the British sweep on the more northerly front has re, suited in an extremely close ap- preach to the city of Douai. Clos ing in on south, west and northwest the British are hardly more than a mile and half from tue center of the place through their capture of Quincy and the announcement of noUai's fall at any hour would not be surprising.
 French Advance in Champagne.
 Equally sweeping advances are be- ins made by the French in the Champagne The German front here seems to have lost it's power of suc- Cessful resistance and General Pe- tair's troops have made a quick ad- vance of from three to four miles. The important town of Vouziers has beer penetrated and the French line in Champagne has been brought up to a level with it far to the west along the Retourne river.
 The advance in the Champagne now has reached depth of nearly 15 miles since the FrancO-American offensive was started on this front September 26, hardly more than two weeks ago.
 Americans Busy in Argonne.
 Aiding markedly in the success of this operation and striking a! ever more vital German positions IS the continued American attack i'll the Argonne and eastward in the Mouse district. The American first army fought it's way northward yes" terday to the vicinity of Landries-Et Georges, which apparently marks at least mile and half's progress beyond the famous Kriemhild line.
 Today the Americans were again at. tacking, against such a determined resistance as to indicate plainly the realization of the Germans that they are facing here menace to the safe ty of their entire position in North ern France through the threat tt their vital communicating lines 1T the Montmedy area.

When the British cavalry saw the Turks

Armageddon is written "HarmageddOn"
in the revised version OF the Bible. The
word signifies Heights Of Megiddo." The
Hebrew word "Har" means mountain, or
heights. II is, In fact, a plain below a

filed By the great events OF the present

that Christ desired war, but that the ideals
which He came 70 implsnt IN the world
could only be maintained BY facing strife
and suffering Clearly the horrible and IN.

Kaiser represents can only be ended by

justified even at the very spot which He
knew best on earth.
IL IS worth while 70 point out another in
terestlng parallel between Biblical hfstory
and present occurrences. Jephthah IN the
Bible led the men OF Gilead against the
Ephraimites and trapped them az the Jor

The exact part which Armageddon
played in the recent victory in Palestine
is thus described by General Allenby in
his official report:
ION the north our cavalry traversing the
Field OF ArmGgeddon had occupied Naza-
reth. Afule and Beisan and were collecting
the disorganized masses OF enemy troops
and transport as they arrived from the
south. All avenues OF escape open to the
enemy, except the fords across the Jordan
between Beisan and Jisr-ed-Dameer, were
thus closed"
Since General Allenby occupied Jeru-
salem. which IS in southern Palestine, last
Winter little has been heard Of his prog
ress in the northern part Of the country,
and Il was supposed that his army had

EN the great and splendid Allied vic
tories Of the past few weeks there is
= one that must rivet the attention Of
earnest, thinking people even above all the
others
That is the great victory Of the British
and Allied forces on the Plain of Arma-
geddon, in Palestine, for It was at Arma-
geddOn that the turning point Of the battle
which crushed the Turkish armies Oc-
Cured
In this event we have what appears
10 be a clear fulfilment OF the Biblical
prophecy that the greatest battle OF the
world 3 history will take place at Armaged-
don. The actual engagement at this place
was not. indeed, the largest battle of the
world war but il appears destined 10 be a
deciding factor in the war, because it
marks the crumbling OF the savage allies
of Germany and is therefore truly an essen
tial phase Of the great battle OF the

Let US recall the impressive and terrible
words OF the Bible foretelling ArmageddOn.
They are found in the sixteenth chapter OF
he Revelation OF St John the Divine who
says:
And I saw three unclean spirits Ike

the General not only crushed the Turks
but captured practically all their army.
Any one who has studied the topography
OF northern Palestine, or who has looked
at profile map OF the country, will under
stand that It was no simple matter to pass
those endless ravines and hilsides, to
march through a land whose every nook
and corner offered a shelter for cannon and
machine guns. OF course, General Allenby
knew all this very well. and did not wish
to sacrifice thousands OF men needlessly.
It was not his purpose to push the Turks
back foot by foot, sacrificing his men TO
gain each bit Of ground. In a far more
effective way he planned and carried out a
tremendous encircling movement. Utiliz-
ing especially his cavalry from
India, Britain and Australia he cap
