C., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 PRICE FIVE CENTS 85.00 PER ANNUM THIS WOULD BE A FATAL BLOW TO THE INVADERS OF FRANCE GEN. FRENCH EXPLAINS WHY THE WAR IS DRAGGING It is Because the Flanking or Turning Movements Must Be Accomplished in a Deliberate Man ner-Summary of the War News While the French and British official statements intricate satis faction with the situation along the battle front in France and con fidence in the outcome, an unofficial report from Paris declares thc German right has been broken and is being pursued by the allies. This report also declares the Germans have been surrounded in the Somme department and that Peronne had been recaptured. The officiai press bureau at London, while makiig no objection to the publication of these reports, have declined to take any respon sibility for their correctness. Announcement lats at night by both French and British officials declared there had been no change in the situation which they pre-i viously had reported as favoring the allied army to some degree. A narrative from Field Marshal Sir John French's headquarters, issued at London by the official press bureau gives the reason for the long drawn out battle, which has lasted eighteen days. Why the Battle Drags. "The extent of the country covered," it says, "is so great as to render slow any efforts to manoeuvers and march around the flank in order to escape the costly expedient of a fronti. ttack against heavily fortified positions." f This refers to the fiercely contested operations of the allies' ieft flank in an endeavor to outflank the German right wing under General von Kluck. In these operations French and British, heavily reinforced, have been engaged for several days, and the encounters at times are reported to have been Unprecedented. In the far east there are signs of much activity on the part of the Japanese, who are engaged in a land and sea movement aeainst the German concession of Kiao Chow, in Shan Tung provino;, China, The Japanese have occupied the heights outside of Tsing Tau, the capital overlooking the Gerrrr?rt*snrrta1n Une of defence. /'>? ? Chinese 'troops have blown* up the railroad bridg? at Tayu-Ho, srx miles west of Wei-Hsein, which also his been occupied by the Japanese and thus are apparently opposing Japanese military opera tions in Shan Tung province. The Austrian Campaign. Meagre reports of the Russian campaign against Austria and Germany indicate a period of comparative calm while the great armies of these nations are getting into position for offensive and defensive. A British cruiser squadron under Rear Admiral Sir. Christopher Craddock, v/ho. recently commanded British warships in Mexican waters, ha? arrived ai Pur.ta Arenas, Strait of Magellan and is believed to be on.its way to the Pacific. The German cruiser Enden, which recently captured six British steamers anet sank five of them in the Bay of Bengal, has sunk four more and captured a collier. o o o o o ? o 0 o <: o .?esa. . ?

All the automobiles in Northern France have been requisitioned for the purpose of pur suing. "Armored motor .cars with mitrailleuses also are being used to pursue the retreting enemy. "The official'communication issued at 3 o'clock demonstrates unmistakably that the Germans have been surrounded in the Somme department, the French front extending farther east. "lt is stated officially that Peronne has been recap tured." - The foregoing message has been referred to the British official press bureau, which, while not objecting to its publication, takes no responsibility for its correct ness. ooooooooooooooooo oooooooc V'.

Are Doing Good Work With Revival In Procreas The third meeting of the series of revival services which are being ?con ducted at St. John's Methodist church, continued the same line of spiritual earnestness that has been manifest ed In the. two previous services. The Kev. Mr. Danner feagan, the praise service of song promptly at eight o'clock His efforts to enlist all of the 'people tn the singing met with marked success, and was a great im provement on tho singing ot thc pre ceding evening. The choir . was also much larger, having resolved many additions from the other choirs of the city. Mr. Danner is stressing the im portance of this part of the service, regarding it as a helpful preparation' for the receiving of the preacher's message. Under Mr. Danner's compp tent leadership and with bis earnest efforts it is confidently expected that each night's singing will be better than that of the preceding night. Mr. Speak assumed elm go of the services ut eight twenty and started at once with , his jharucterlst'c earnestness to present a moving gos pel mecs?1 ye. As on tin proceeding evening, bu stated that he did not ex pect to teach or to explain, or even to direct the minds of his . hearers primarily to the sermon, twit rather to preach, and especially to preach with a view to convicting pf sin and of the need of the Savior. He continued to press his plea for a more -ital ex perimental religion, illustrating the lacks of ttys hy incident*- from an easy-goiny ministry and from the- In adquate religion ot the homo life of the day. The key-note of the entlra service was "Salvation." Jesus /'Christ carno to seek and ?o nave that which was lost." Tba inefficiency of thc church, the unfaithfulness of some ministers and particularly the diffidence of professing Christians, all onie in for some sovere criticism. .The lose con dition of the world,, tho op?n so o of society and the Irr?ligion generally of many communities, aro a sufucleut challenge to the faith and efforts of every, true Christian, and yet they are carccly distrusted at all by these con ditions. Not until tbp professing ch rim ian world gets on fire with a passion for souls, and Ulled with the power of the Holy Spirit, can these conditions be changed and ?Christ crowned king.. In words bubbling ov er with earnestness, Mr. Speake plead with the Christians present to give themselves to sacrificad prayer to* the salvation of their lost loved ones and friends and for the world. In response of the appeal of the preacher the altar rall was filled with those who had the burden ot salvation for themselves and others upon their hearts. While they anett Mr.Speaue raised the tune of the first song he ever sang, "O, "How I Love Jesus." This was sung softly by those around the altar rail, and then Dr. Vines led the congregation In a most earnest and deeply spiritual prayer. Following this prayer many of the . penitents Joined in sentence prayers for God's help. Rising from the altar nany Join ed in the song, "Or Whore is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" The scene was deeply impressive and many un der conviction were touched tc tears. Following are the homes at which meeting Till! bf* he'd on Wednesday and Tnu'??'n.j?.
