not only of Mauheuge but Of ali similar
fortresSeS
After the fall of the Belgian forts
came the battle and retreat of Mons.
Mons lies only Is miles north of Maui
hsuge. and the retreat passed the fort
ross and left 1t like an island in the
advancing German stream. With its
10000 men, Maubeuge was able to hold
out against the devastating high ex-
p'oSiveS for only IL days This delay
was of great service to the allies. for 1t
concentrated German artillery and kept
it out of use elsewhere, and also blocked
an important railway needed for Ger
man supplies. But the price was too
high to pay, and now modern military
engineers believe that they have de-
veloped defensive system much more
efficient than that Of Vauban and his
school, Mobility is the latest slogan
In the place of the fixed forts of Maui
heuge and similar fortreSSes, the pres
entday defender will pin his faith to
great guns mounted on railway car
riages which can pour out high eX-
plosiveS from one location today and
another tomorrow. This mobile system
is used by the United States in some
OF its important coast defenseS.
"Mauheuge stripped of its fortiflca-
tions and made an open town, will be
of no great significance. but will con-
tinue in a modest way to swell the total
of French manufactures. 1t lies on
both side of the River Sambre, and has
a population of close to 10000. It's
manufactures have to do chiefly with
iron and steel. Some of its principal
products are TOOLS iron bars, hardware
and horseshoeS. There are also porce-
lain kilns and marble works"

SCIENTIST SPEAKER
LECTURES ON CHRIST
John Ellis Sedman of Cambridge,
Mass, Says Every Man Will
Learn Way to Salvation.

A lecture on christian Science The
Way of Salvation Which Christ Jesus
Revealed" was delivered In First
Church of Christ Scientist yesterday
afternoon by John Ellis Sedman, G. s.,
of Cambridge. Mass.
Mr., Sedman is a member of the
Board of LectureShip of the Mother
Church, the First Church of Christ
Scientist, In Boston, Mass. He was In
troduced by Emery j. Thompson, first
reader of Fourth Church OF this city,
under whose auspices the lecture was
given. The lecturer said. IN part:
Christ Jesus understood God. He
knew what the race needed to deliver 1t
from bondage and to usher 1t into the
enjoyment OF eternal peace and happi-
ness. Jesus came to show the way of
salvation for all men, He succeeded,
completely, gloriously. Sooner or later
every man will awaken to the realiza-
ton of that great fact, and VIII work
out his salvation In the way Jesus OF
Nazareth taught.
''On one occasion Jesus said. In ex-
planation of the purpose OF his great
work for humanity: I am come that
they might have life, and that they
might have 1t more abundantly.' Again
he declared. And this is lie eternal,
that they might know Thee. the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou
hast sent

an OF today than this. How can gain.

which is eternal life?
"Whv has not the race given more
willing and joyful heed to the Scrip
tural admonition, 'Acquaint now thyself
with Him. and be at peace? There are
many reasons for this apparent apathy.
Prominent among them stands this,
that false doctrines have presented God
in such an unlovely and unlovable light
that they have quite naturally caused
