PEACE OF JERUSALEM"

Rev. Edmund Lee Woodward, rec
tor of Grace Church, at The Plains,
Fauquier county, writing in the
Southern Churchman, suggests that
in this crisis of ages Jerusalem
should first herald the dawn of the
NEW era seen. affair by her patriarchs,
prophets, apostles and martyrs, and
Proclaim liberty to all the earth,
And to all the inhabitants thereof!
The writer says let the Angelus
of World Peace echo from Jerusalem
to an eager and listening earth the
glad song .of the angel hosts once
heard on Bethlehem's hills hardly
Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men.
Though practical considerations

Conference in Europe, considerations
Of the most exalted sentiment cali

cradle of the human race, the home

This call is even more insistent Tor

Jerusalem, the holy city, after
having been wrested from the Mos

links the common heritage in spiri-

shall reign forever the Prince of

PRISONERS TELL OF THE
 DESTRUCTION BY ARTILLERY
British Guns Have Destroyed Much of the German Supplies Behind the lines-Freneh Gain to Adyan- tageous Points in "Z" Wood and Damery Wood.

With the British Army in France, Aug. 16.-By brilliant maneuver the French have finally captured "Z" wood and Damery wood. Tn these two wood ed tracts the Germans have been holding out desperately for several days, realizing the value of these DO sitions. The little patches of forest, which are now in the hands of the al. lies, are on the extreme rieht of the British line, and from their eastern borders it is possible to observe closely quite wide stretch of ground The allied position for several miles on each side of the woods has been ma -erially improved by their capture.

 The British guns have been espe cially active in searching out German ammunition dumps. a number of which have been destroyed It was partially for doing just this work that such speed was made in the forward movement of the guns.
 From the start of the offensive not a moment has been lost in moving cp the artillery. That it has been a pay ing proposition is proved by prison CTS statements as to the havo. wrought by shell fire
 Some slight troop movements east ward are reported now and then to the rear of the German lines along the Somme, bn they are insufficient to warrant any conclusions regarding the enemy's intentions.

 Last Monday six thousand entente troops, reinforced by 5000 Russians, assembled at Archangel and the same night the order was given to proceed southeastward.

 ''Nor did the land troops reach their goal They encountered their first resistance by the Soviet troops at the point where the log river bi- sects the railway. The entente troops halted here. This movement seemed a feint and the main operation ap- parently is on the Dvina river.
 Monday night there arrived at Solombolsk near Archangel four transports from which an American contingent was transferred directly to barges in the mouth of the river without touching at Archangel.

AMERICANS DESTROY
 BRIDGES ACROSS AISNE
GERMANS IN THEIR RETREAT ARE CARRYING OFF ALL THE
 oCoCS FROM THE COUNTRY.

With the American Army on the Nesle Front, Aug. 16.-The Germans launched a combined gas, artillery and air-bombing attack upon the French and Americans along the Vesle early Friday morning. This was in retalia- tion for bombing raid by American airmen on bridges over the Aisne late Thursday.
 The German artillery continued smelling the crossroads south of the Vesle for hours on the assumption that the French and Americans were bringing up troops. German aviators bombed the woods and villages south of the Vesle, apparently working ir relays.
 A group of twelve American avia- tors participated in the raid on the Aisne bridges. Early Friday othel American flyers went up and tool photographs for the purpose of ascer- taining the effects of the bomp, dropped A great deal of traffic hat teen reported passing over the Aisnt bridges and the French and Ameri- cans increased the fire of their heavy guns in an attempt to destroy as many bridges as possible.
 AS result Of the report of observ- CTS the French and Americans laid down box barrage during Thursday night on machine gun nests along the hills to the north west of Fishes. O5- servers and patrols reported Friday morning that twelve machine guns had been destroyed and every German gunner killed.
 The Aisne bridges bombed by the Americans were located between POnt -Arcy and Gernicourt, distance Of aout twelve miles. The same ois- trict is also within range of the French and American heavy guns. The allies are desirous of harassing the enemy as much as possible owing to reports that large ammunition trains, southward bound, have been sighted using the bridges.
 The northward traffic has consisted principally of infantrymen and trucks loaded with goods taken from houses in villages, according to reports by aerial observers and three Italians who escaped from the Germans and reached the American line. The Itat- iaRs said they saw enormous ship ments of household material and sim liar articles and expressed the belief that the Germans had brought them from the south of the Vesle during the retreat.
