Manager Little of the MajesticNfhea tre tellH us that 650 persons paid to see Mary Plckfortt at his theatre last Friday afternoon and night. This is said to be the largest crowd ever wit nessing a show in Camden with the exception of a circus.

A C^jroUlde , man witnessed what came near a serious aocldeut at the corner of Main and DeKalb streets Monday morning. When one of our most highly resi>ected cittxens who rides a bicycle very cautiously waa nearing thla corner an automobile at a rapid rate rounded the corner at the same time. Uut for the fact that the gentleman fell from hla wheel the auto would have pawed over him.. lie waa thrown violently to the ground hut fortunately only) received a few bruise*. Home time ago city council had huge signs placed notlfylug motorist* to stop at tbls corner, but they aoon dis regarded thla notice and the reckless practice continues. Drivers from out of town always obfey the city, ordl' nances and alow down at tike corners and there Is no reason why our home, drivers should not take the same pre cautions. : To take these precautions will no doubt prevent a serious accident and the city should see to it that the rbgu lat.ions be enforced. .... ..... .. Another matter that should command the attention of rouncll and that is the practice of motor vehicles being driven with the mufflers cut : out. Citizens complain of the uunecessury noises pn our streets and they have a right to. . / ? j . 4 - To Commence Next Monday. Mr. G. H. Lenoir requests us to an nounce that his "Lakewood" mill near Hagood for the grinding of wheat will positively begin operation on Mon day, August 2ud.

The European armies are battling furiously on the eastern, southern uiul western war fronts. The Teutonic al lies still claim advances In Northwest Russia and also In that long sector In Poland, where the envelopment of Warsaw is the objective. The Italians assert that they are still making gains against the Austrian* along the Isonzo front, and Paris claims, and Berlin admits, the capture in Alsace of- advanced German trenches north of Muenster. The French cap ture, Paris says, gives them, heights that dominate the principal valley of 'Fecht as . well as the highway from Notre Dame Des TrolS Epls. The cap tured front is a mile and a third in ,length. A Swiss newspaper declares it has received a dispatch from Laibach, Aus tria, anouncing the beginning of the evacuation of Gorizzia by the Ausr trlans, and declaring also thlk It is only a question of hours before Ped gora will surrender under the Italian assaults. It is added that the Aus trians at Doberdo guarding the route tr Triest have been unable to hold their position. Here, however, Vienna says, the Italian attack failed "with heavier losses than ever," and that af ter the battle the Austrian* held their original positions. In both Northwest Russia and In Poland the Russians at points have taken the offensive, but Berlin says All their attempts were broken down -and that the* Teutonic allies "continue their progress. The Russian attack against the* Ger mans crossing the Narew and Russian offensive ^x tending from Goworowo near Rozan, to Sarockx to ttio south of Paltnska, a front of some sixty miles, were especially severe. .. . _i_lj There is no change in the situation before the fortresses of Novogeorgievsk auil Xvtiugorod, but south of the Lublin claim to have taken additional Russian "villages. Except in Alsace fighting In the west Ik still characterised mainly by artil lery engagements. ^ ^ Constantinople rc| torts Mat near Ked dul liahr, on the < 2m1II|h>H peninsula, the Turks h*YO captured a portion of Allied trenches and destroyed the de fenders. , On the naval side of the war the bombardment of a iH>rtlon of the Ital ian Adriatic coast by Austrian cruisers and torpedo ln>at destroyers, the re port by Constantinople of the sinking of a French submarine by a German underwater boat in the Dardanelles, and the sending to the bottom of a Danish steamer, a Norwegian sailing ship and many trawlers by German submarines, are related. Austrian hydro-aeroplanes have drop IkmI bombs on Ancona, Italy, and a dojsen explosive missies have beeu thrown from an 'aircraft on Verona. It is stated that the material damage done by the bombs was alight. ? ? ? nnw .niiim . , ? ... Clemapn Scholarships Awarded. .

Of the' many questions raised I tig the present European struggle, perhaps there Is none more pertinent to re ligious people than this: lias Christi anity failed because It did not pre vent war between the so-called Chris tian nations? The anti-Christian press In many quarters of the Far Bast ap pears to think, it has. The Malm Bodhi and the United Buddhist .World for January and February, 1915, says "Christianity has been, a complete fail ure in Europe." Upon recent return from Europe, Mr. John R. Mott made public some letters received from son)e earnest Japanese Christian leaders in the Far East, asking these questions, among others "Does Christianity have no power to control the nations that are known as Christian! Is it not a reproach to Christianity that it htCB-'.no power to avoid the present war?"; Some ofthe nurses returning from the front have gone much fur ther ahd have candidly said that they can no longer believe In a bfeneffifeent God when such unspeakable horrors are permitted to go on In the world. A writer recently said that when the Rheims cathedral was bombarded, be cause a cry went up from the civilized world that so priceless a work of art should have been so wantonly destroy-' ed rather than a strong protest that a house of God should become the target of canon, that in itself was ''the most complete indictment of the church that was ever made." In the face of such divided opinion, the question has come home to many hearts who have In some small measure comprehended the cataclysmic disaster now sweeping over Europe : . Christianity ? Collapsing or Wining ? This problem will be dis cussed as frankly an possible next Sunday evening at *8:30 at the Cam den Baptist church, and the public is cordially Invited. E. X*. A.
