Associated Press Summary)
 Military operations on the western battle front have been overshadowed recently by developments elsewhere but nevertheless the situation on the Franco Belgian line is being followed from day to day with close attention
 No signs are obserable according to correspondents, of the enemy's in tention as to time and place of the de- livery of his expected stroke. The ar tillery activity seems less marked than for some days past while the aviators bors by less favorable weather.
 It seems not improbable however, that the magnificent work of the al- lied airmen has had not a little to dc with the slowness of the enemy in putting his offensive machine in work ing order again.
 Airmen Keep Germans Back
 They have established themselves as masters to such an extent that the Germans have been forced for the most part, to keep well back of their own lines. The allied aviators have been able to carry out photo graphic observations and bombing work on large scale for long dis tances in the enemy rear territory.
 Bombing operations have been so intensive that ton after ton of explo- sives have been unloaded on military bjectives-many more than 1000 tons to date. Unquestionably this has has seriously interferred with Ger man movements. Furthermore, avia tors on the entente aide have swol- len German losses of machines to con- siderably in excess of the ,O00 recent ly reported brought down since the opening of the enemy's spring offen- sive.
 Enemy Partially Blinded
 This partial binding of the enemy has naturally tended to keep him less we'll informed of dispositions on the allied side and probably serve to make him more hesitant in making decisive moves.
 In aerial activity American airmen are taking an increasing part and it now develops that in the Toul sector an exclusive American pursuit squad ron is operating with success.
 Allied infantry raiders have been active equally with aviators but here the Germans have more nearly match ed them. Enemy raiding parties have been especially active on the fronts of Gen. Von Hutier's army south of the Somme, but their success in talk ing prisoners has not been marked.

To the Members and Friends of the
Methodist Church. New Years
Greetings: cE,.,ys .. .,.,. I
We are living in stirring and troub-
led times. No church, if it has grain
of patriotism, can be the same in q
country that is At war as it is in q
country that is at peace. As the
nation responds to call to arms. the
church, too. must 60 on war footing.
As our soldiers fight at the front to
make the world safe for Democracy,
the church must take up its no less
urgent and tremendous task at home
of making the world safe for every
thing else that is good. thus making
Democracy safe for the world.
The leaders of Methodism are men
of world vision. They have already
discerned the fact that the great day
of the church of Jesus Christ is at
hand; that the bursting bomb at the
battle front is blowing the soil of the
world for a new Nationalism. The
church which in the highest possible
degree and in the shortest possible
time adapts itself to the demands of
the hour will be in position to per-
form the largest service in the deter
mination Of what this new Nationalism
shall be. A church, like an individual,
can be Stacker. 1t is inconceivable
that the Methodist church as one of
greatest Protestant churches in Christ
endom, will play a minor role either in
the prosecution of the war itself or in
the no less important reconstruction
era that is to follow.
We, as Methodists, cannot intelli-
gently adapt ourselves to the trying
needs of the hour unless we are in
formed. A dull, sluggish. uninformed
church, can render futile and inopers-
tive the best and wisest leadership.
You cannot serve unless you are intelli-
gent on the great, burning issues of
the hour. Our church has provided
the Sunday school as the medium
through which this intelligence can be
impaired. Do you know that our
church has the best equipment and the
most capable corps of teachers it has
ever had? Do you know that our press
