A Call To Prayer

The calling of the nation to
prayer on Memorial Day, May Goth,
is peculiarly fitting. A day sacred
in the memory of all; day when
we lay the wreath of forget-menots
on the graves of our heroes of
former war, is day We can well
spend in praying to Almighty God
for His watchfui care over us while
civilization is fighting to perpetuate
Christianity. The request for a day
of prayer by Congress and the Presi-
dents proclamation should be read
carefully and prayerfully.
BY the Pesident of the United States:
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, the Congress of the Unit
ed States on the I'd day of April last
passed the following resolution:
Resolved by the Senate (the
House of Representative concur
ring,) That it being duty peculiar
ly incumbent in a time of war hulnb-
ly and devoutly to acknowledge our
dependence ON Almighty God and to
implore His aid and protection, the
President of the United States be,
and he is hereby respectfully re-
quested to recommend day of pub
III pioS 81 etho
to be observed by the people of the
United States with religious solem-
nifty and the offering of fervent sup
plications to Almighty God for the
safety and welfare of our cause, His
blessing on our army and a speedy
restoration of an honorable and last
ing peace to the nations of the earth;
And, Whereas, 1t has always been
hn habit of tho nonnla nf
the United States to turn in humble
appeal to Almighty God for His gui-
dance in the affairs of their common
life;
Now, therefore, 1, Woodrow Will
son. President of the United States
of America, do hereby proclaim
Thursday, the Goth day of May, day
already freighted with sacred and
stimulating memories, day of pub
lie humiliation, prayer and fasting,
and do exhort my fellow-citizens of
all faiths and creeds to assemble on
that day in their several places of
worship and there, as well as in their
homes, to pray Almighty God that
He may forgive our sins and short
comings as a people and purify our
hearts to see and love the truth, to
accept and defend all things that are
! just and right, and to purpose only
/ those righteous acts and judgments
which are in conformity with HIS
! will; beseeching Him that He Will
| give victory to cur armies as they
| fight for freedom, wisdom to those
who take counsel on our behalf IN
these days of dark struggle and per-
| plexity, and steadfastness to our peo-
| pie to make sacrifice to the utmost
| in support of what is just and true,
| brin ging us at last the peace IN
which mems hearts can be at rest be-
cause it is founded upon mercy, JUS
| tice and good will.
In witness whereof l have hereun-
| to set my hand and caused the seal
| of the United States to be atflxed.
Done in the District of Columbia,
the 18th day of May, in the year OF
our Lord nineteen hundred and
eighteen, and of the Independence OF
the United States. the one hundred
/ and forty-second.

Our forces have taken part in the
battle" say the statement briefly.
American units are in action east OF
Amiens. During the engagements,
which have ragged in this area, they
have acquitted themselves WELL"
The review, in emphasizing the i'm
mediate need Of fresh men to with

placement units for the French front.

outcome Of the present operations de-
ponds upon man power"

London, April 29.-Five countries
are reported in the throes of revolt
or threatened with epoch-making up
risings. They are Russia, Austria
Germany, Siberia and Finland.
Grand Duke Alexis, son OF the for
mer Gar, is reported to have been
proclaimed Emperor of Russia, with
Grand Duke Michael, brother Of Mich
olas, as regent, and it is said that the
new government will refuse to recog
nize the Bolshevist peace treaty with
Germany.
In Austria an anti-Emperor Charles
party has been formed to initiate
against the influence of the Empress
Zita. The southern Slavs are revivine
their agitation for separation from
Austria. May Day is expected to wit
ness a general labor strike and demon
stration for peace throughout Aus
tria and Hungary. Premier Won Seyd
Ter of Austria has found his position
untenable on account of the exposure
of the Emperor's peace letter and his
tactless handling of the food crisis.
Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey, the
Czechs and Jugo-Slavs are already
quarreling over what they consider
prospective spoils in the Balkans.
In Germany Herr Scheidemann de-
nounced the gagging of the press land

peace.

of a dictatorship.

Russia, had been proclaimed emperor

that Germany was attempting to car
ry through a we'll formulated plan for
restoring a monarchy in that revolu-
tion-torn country. While no reports OF
a new revolt in Petrograd have been
received at the State Department from
Ambassador Francis at Vologda, news
of an uprising would not come as a
surprise. 1t long has been believed
here that Germany's real purpose was
to restore the monarchy supported by
German influence, money and intrigue.

the British and French are holding
securely to all their positions.
From Saturday until well into Mon
day niGht Gen. Won Arnim's forces
continued their efforts to break the
British lines on the Ypres salient and
to press back the British and French
from the high ground to the south
west, but everywhere their efforts
were fruitless. True, they gained their
objective and again captured l-ocre'
but a counter thrust forced them our
again and at last accounts the French
were holding the village. In the hiliy
region just to the north OF Locre the
British also pushed back the enemy at
several points. notably between KEN
mel and La Clytte.
Much of the snap Of the German at
lacking forces has been absent from
the maneuvers they have been carry
ing out in Flanders under the stiffened
line Of the entente troops which has
beer apparent since last Sunday.
TO the south, near Amiens, ant 10
the east, around Noyon, the enemy
likewise has failed in all his attempts
TO push further forward. The British,
east of Villers-Bretonneux, which lies
directly east of Aniiens, have ad
yanced their front, and in the NoyoD
sector the French have re-establisheG
their lines, which the Germans prevl'
ously had captured from them.
The Germans on various sectors OF
the line are still hurting tons OF stee:
against the British and French posi-
lions, but the allied guns are every
where answering them in kind.
In Macedonia the Serbians, in the
region OF Monastir, again have entered
an enemy position and annihilated the
garrison. They also have been u
cessful in repulsing an attack by Bull
garians, which had as its object the
~recapture of positions near Vetretsk,
taken by the Serbians a week ago.
The successful allied defense made
Monday the bloodiest day yet expert
enced by the enemy, as attack after
attack was smashed by artillery and
infantry fire. The Germans had al
ready suffered heavily on Sunday,
when their concentrations of troops
were caught and shattered by gunfire,
Their waves Monday were moved
down and the British wings and
French center neither Eent nor broke.
