T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES
 (Reg. U. s. Pat. Office) BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst

German evacuation of Taganrog is apparently the first major step in a general retreat westward from the Donets Basin which London military observers have been fore- casting since the fall of Kharkov.
 The withdrawal was not effected under extreme pressure, as far as incomplete military reports show, indicating that the term according to plan," so often abused by the Germans, applies in this case.
 The German lines between the Donets and Dnieper rivers cannot be considered to be cracking, de- spite continues reyerses in the re- zion west of Kharkov and south west of Voroshilovgrad beyond the Mius river.
 Pulling In Lines
 Rather, the Germans, under con- pulsion, gre pulling in their lines to forstall a break which might prove disastrous. Nearly 1,000,0O0 men in the region below Kharkov, including those in the Crimea and the Kuman bridgehead of the Cau- casus, are involved.
 The southern bulge in the Ger man lines is .oo extended to be held, in view of the steady Russian ad- vance on the rail center of Poltava, southwest of Kharkov. The retreat of such large body of men must be carefully planned, since it would be in danger of becoming a rout if postponed to the last moment.
 The line which military experts believe the Germans will try to hold for the winter is along the Dnieper river around Smolensk--or west of thereto its great bend south of Dnjepropetrovsk. It is not believed, however, that they will retreat south of there to the rivers mouth, which would bring them almost to Odessa and involve evacuation of the Cri- mea.
 Expected To Stand Just east of the river bend at Za- porozhe, the trunk railroad to the south runs down through Melitopol and into the Crimea. The Germans are expected to make stand along that railroad, at least until the Cri- mea is evacuated, if that becomes necessary.
 Early evacuation of the Kuban bridge across the Kerch Strait into the Caucasus is considered highly probable, since it has no longer any military advantage to the Germans, they having long ago abandoned any hope of an offensive into the Caucasus.
 The Germans, if they follow this plan, will have suffered great de- feat and lost a lot of valuable ter ritory, but they will be in a much stronger military position for the winter in view of their greatly shortened Ines.

Rev. John Reinhardt pointed out at the Glad Tiding tabernacle last night that humanity as a unit is wordly-minded and people are blinded so that do not want to give up their sins and wordliness which is the price one must pay if he would be 8 true disciple of Jesus Christ.
 At the final union service of the First Methodist and First Baptist churches yesterday morning, Rev Dr. John J. Snavely spoke on the implications of the Christian faith in the reorganization of interna- tional social and racial relations.
 Dr. Snavely also preached at First Baptist church last night in the series of summer services for down town churches. This series will con- tniue through Sept. 26.
 In his sermon, Dr. Snavely said: Christian faith is both belief and action. Belief is the root and action is the fruit. It is action that tests the reality of the faith.
 As there is a body of conviction underlying the world of business and the world of political life, and the world of science; so there is a body of conviction underlying Chris tian life. As in these other realms men will contend for their faith, so in Christian like must we con- tend for the maintenance of Chris tian faith. It is @ fatal weakness for Christian man to have to &C., knowledge T do not know what l believe"
 Christian faith is faith-i fraction It is not believing the incredible; 1t is doing the impossible. It laughs at impossibilities, and cries Tt shall be done"
 Our day needs the rallying cry of faith. We shall have to contend for the acceptance of the implica- tions of our Christian faith, in the reorganization of the international life, in the social life of the people, and in their racial relations.
 We believe in God as Father of all, in men as a human family un- der that fatherhood. "One World must be more than political slo- gan. It must become what it always has been in the Christian mind, an insight of faith.
 Rev. B. Kenneth Anthony deliver. ed the sermon before the final union service yesterday of the Firs' Second, and Bunker Hill Congrega' tional churches.
 Taking as his text the Biblica story of Abraham and Lot and tht division of land, MT. Anthony point. ed out that one has the alternative of pitching his tent, as Lot did toward Sodom and the way of mora deterioration, or toward the goot things which bring fulfillment o life.
