The Revival

AT the courthouse had to strive
against difficulties the past week
Part of the time the weather was very
uniavorable, 1t was almost rained
out Saturday night. Then there were
other meetings on hand, and the
schools were loaded to the guards in
making preparations for the closing
exercises this week. However, 1t was
conceded by those who attended that
the preaching was OF high order--slm'
pic in presentation, instructive III
matter and forceful in delivery. The
evangelist avoids slang and personal
attack, and assumes sympathetic at
titude toward erring ones, while he
does not mince words in condemning
their errors. He pleads for a clean,
consistent, Christian life on the part
of church members, and, of course,
makes the hypocritical church mem
Der feel very uncomfortable, as he
ought to feel. His sermon Sunday
afternoon was a very severe arraign-
ment of the open saloon, and his ser
mon that night, taking Away The
Stone" stirred the great audience to
its depths.
The singing under the direction Of
Prof. Parker is by no means q small
part of the attraction, and his Booster
Choir on last Sunday afternoon won
many plaudits from the congregation
Monday night the crowd was surpris'
ingly large for the condition OF the
weather. The sermon was illuminat'
ing in a high degree, and many wen,
away with a better understanding o
the Holy Spirit. ..,.
Services will continue nightly atth'
courthouse. The Women's Cottage
Prayermeetings from $3.50 to 10 ever,
morning are gaining in interest anf
attendance. At the same hour tn
men have the opportunity OF a pray
ermeeting at the courthouse.

EXPECT NEW BLOW
AGAINST HUNS LINE
WILL BE ALLIES ANSWER TO
PEACE PROPOSAL OF THE
CENTRAL POWERS.

hington.-Anothe blow against
the German lines as an answer to the
peace proposal of the Central powers
Is expected momentarily by military
officials here.
The point of the expected attack is
a matter of wide speculation by Off
GERS. Several simultaneous attacks
will be delivered, with the Flanders
front, the French operations about lie
Fere directed at Laon and the new
American front across the mouth of
the old ST. Mihiel salient as the logi-
cal positions from which Marshal
Foch would strike.
It has been significant to some of
ficers that the British have not press
ed very heavily on the front between
Ypres and Douai. North of Donai
there has been only one minor opera
ton by the Belgians since the allied
counter-offensive began. British at
tentien has been concentrated to q
large extent on clearing up to the
Douai-Cambrai-St Quentin front ard
many observers believe the lines have
been Strengthened sufficiently along
this sector now for a new movement
to the north. 1t has been noted how
ever, that British artillery has been
pounding the German lines west of
Cambria with especial vigor recently,
which may be the prelude to a direct
drive for the capture of that city,
There is no information of an o'Ii-
ciaI character as to General PershiIg S
present operations. The greatest re-
ticenee apparently is being enforced
on press correspondents in discussing
the tactical disposition of the AmeTi-
can army at this time and to obsery-
ers here this suggests that prepara-
tions for a new advance are well UNI
der way. The logical objective. it
is said, would be the occupation of
the Briey iron fields and an effort to
encircle Metz from the west. II Gen
eral Pershing is moving toward that
goal now, it is said a joint attack by
his army and the French army hold
ing the Verdun front would be proc
able development. Such an action
would be over very extended front,
however, and some further reconnois-
sance of the enemy's position on the
immediate American front may be
necessary before it can be under
taken
Tactics employed by General Per.
shing in cleaning UP the ST. Mihiel
salient, In the view of officers here
show that the American commander
has determined that maximum speed
is essential to military speed is essen
tial to military success. He hurled
forward his troop last week at an
unprecedented pace and it was this
rush which swept the German de-
tenders off their feet and gave them
no opportunity for even an organized
rear guard action.

ing to Field Marshal Haig's report.
A German post west of La Bassee
was captured New posts were estab-
lished northeast of Neuve Chapelle
and in the neighbornood OF Ploeg-
steert.
Another small but important bulge
of the Ypres salient into German ter
ritory was forced by the British
troops when they attacked on a front
of 1000 yards along the Menin road
and drove back the Germans for a
distance of 500 yards. This advance
carried Field Marshal Haig's men
within mile of Hooge, which figured
in many fierce conflicts in previous
fighting. Further south the British
at the same time pushed northeast
ward of Ploegsteert and established
posts 200 yards in advance of the ole
line which they had occupied before
the German drive began in March.
This was the third consecutive day
of fine weather and the battledelGs
are rapidly drying out
British troops III the past "a hours
have captured 1901 Germans. There
is plenty of evidence that the enemy
is expecting further concerted attacks
at various places. A captured order
points out that The allies must now
be expected to strike heavy blows and
bewails the lack of assault troops as
rendering any prospect of successful
counter-attacks or effective resistance
impossible.
Prisoners recently captured say that
every effort has been made to sup

TO HAVE FIVE j. S.
ARMIES IN FRANCE
ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE BY GEN.
ERAL MARCH TO COMMITTEE
GREATER. PART TO FRANCE.
ITALY IS TO BE ASSISTED
VIII Be Helped Efficiently as Soon as
Conditions Permit-Wsr Depart
nsent Issues Statement Calling
For Expansion of Air Service.

Washington. Five fully equipped
American armies in Europe is the as
tonishing prospect disclosed to the
House military committee by Gen.
March, chief of the United States
army staff
The greater part of these armies
will go to France, but it is pointed
out at the War Department that if
Austria, Turkey and Germany should
determine to die in the trenches, some
of the American field armies will be
found on the Italo-Austrian and the
Macedonian front.
Secretary of War Baker, speaking
some time ago about the desire TO
help Italy, stated that there would be
no limit TO the assistance as soon as
the circumstances warranted the dis
path of forces to her consistent with
her demands.
Specifically Gen. March stated that
there would be in existence by July ],
1919, an army of 100000 men, aud
he has, therefore, stated that field
army consists of approximately 1000,
600 men. There are. he said, 100000
men under arms of which nearly
one and three quarters millions are in
France
Gen. March's plan is to have called
to the colors between now ano next
July 100000 men, which, added to
the 100000 now under arms, will
make a grand total, with all allow
ances for casualties and reflections, of
100000 1t is believed by officers
that with the constantly increasing
monthly figures of laying down the
troops in Europe the whole number
of the draft necessary to raise the
100000 will be in Europe on various
fronts BY the middle of July. The ire
mendous number of Americans to be
under arms in Europe will make it
necessary To further classify the total
into groups of field armies which
is the next and highest possible elas-
sification.
simultaneously with Gen. March 5
statements to the House committee
the War Department issued a state
ment which calls for a great expan-
sion in the air service. The magnifl-
cent programme of Gen. March is evil
IDENTIFY based on the proper equipment
of every arm of the service and an
unlimited number of planes of all
kinds is necessary to complete the eff.
fectiveness Of the American troops in
the field 1t was doubtless due to the
needs of the colossal army to eros
the seas by July l OF next year that
the air service has made arrange
ments to fill its ranks with men from
all classes of the draft.
