President Woodrow Wilson, by proclamation, has

for peace in Europe and called upoa. all God fearing
persons to gather in church On that day and petition
Almighty'God - to heal again and restore once more
concord among men and nations. The proclamation
follows:
'Whereas, Great nations of the world have taken
up arms against one another and war, now draws mil
lions of men into battle whom the counsel of states
men have not been able to save from the terrible sac
rifice; and,
"Whereas, In this as in all thingis it is our privi
lege and duty to seek counsel and succor of Almighty
God, humbling curselves before him, confessing our
weakness and our lack of an' wisdo.n equal to these
things; and,
"Whereas, It is. the especial wish and longing of
the people of the United States, in prayer andcounsel
and all friendliness, to serve the cause of peace,
"Therefore, L Woodrow Wilson president of the
United States of America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day ol October next, a day of prayer and sup
pliction and do request all God fearing persons to
repair on that day to their places of worship, there to
unite their petitions. to Almighty God, that, ovcrru'ing
the counsel o f men, setting straight the things they,
cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now
in the throes of. conflict, in his. mercy and /goodness
showing a way where men can see none, he vouchafe
his children to heal again and restore. once :more that
concord among men and nations without which there
can be neither happiness nor true friendship nor any
wholesome fruit of toil or thought in the world, pray
ing also to this end that he forgive us our sins, our
ignorance of his holy will, our willfulness and many
errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience to p'aces
of visions and to thoughts and counsels that purge
and make wise."

Daring Feat by Lone German Subma
rine on North Sea-Battle of
Aisne Continues
The struggle between the allied ar
mies of France and Great Britain
against the Germans north of the
Aisne river near the Belgian border
in France continues with unabated
fury. Both forces have met with al
ternating victories and defeats from
day to day, but no definite advantage
has been gained by either side. By a
brilliant stroke a lone German sub
ma!ine dashed from the German Keil
canal to the North Sea and before re
turning to its haven of safety succeed
ed - in sinking three of the British
cruisersr. The Servians during the
ast week succeeded in capturing Sar
ajevo, the Bosnian capital, whdre
Archduke Ferdinsnd, heir apparent to
the Austrian throne, was assassinated,
from the Austrians. . In Galicia the
Russians are surrounding Przemsyl,
the last of the Austrian strongholds.
Canadian Soldiers to Europe
Though much has been said regard
ng the mobolizing of the Canadian
roops for service on the European
ontinent, little has been known of
he actual movement of the troops and
ot until the last few days has it be
ome known 'that 30,000 Canadian sol
iers were on their waysto fight along
side of the -Britith in France. The
ensors have not permitted the fact
o become known as to wh'ere these
soldiers sailed from or where their
estination will be. The same secrecy
hat covered the . landing of British
soldiers in Fi'ance and the movement
f the troops from India, is attending
he transporting of the troops from
anada.
-German Navy Hemmed In^
Day after day the British warships
have been 'awaiting outside of the
Keil canal for the coming of the Ger
an ships. Once by a clever ruse they
were able to entice several of the
aiser's war vessels from the protec
tion of t ie canal with the result that
the Ge an navy lost two vessels. It
was the fact that the British had the
erman ships hemmed in that gave
hem the freedom of the high seas.
After that the German warships were
lost sight of entirely.
Attack by' Germans a Surprise
The attack by the derman subma
rine was a great surprise to the Brit
Ish fleet and even the British termed
t as a brilliant feat. Not until one
f their vessels was struck did they
ecome aware of the presente of the
tiny death-dealing ship. Two other of
the 'British vessels went to the assist
nce of the one that was struck and
they, too, were struck by torpedoes.
Irish Volunteers Called
Dubln.-Premier'Asquith appeared
t the mansion house here for the pur
pose, as he expressed it in the opening
~f his speech, "as head of the king's
overnment to summon loyal and pa
triotic Ireland to take her place in de
fense of our common cause." The
prime minister received a tremendous
welcome. He appeared at the mansion
house with John E. Redmond, the Irish
ationalist leader, and the earl of Ab
erdeen, lord lieutenant of Ireland. His
opening words aroused the greatest en
thusiasm.
Allies Land in Austria
Paris.--A dispatch to the Italian
ewspaper Messaggero, forwarded to
Paris by' the Rome correspondent of
the Havas agency, says that the allied
forces have landed in Dalmatia after
ombarding the fortified harbor at Lis
sa. The British and French flags were
then hoisted to provoke the Austrian
fleet to come oat and engage the allied
fleet in battle. Three Austrian squad
on, the correspondent adds, are shel

Russians Surround Przemsyl
In Galicia the Russians are pushing
steadily on their. goal, which for the
moment is'Przemsyl. They apparent
ly have that place pretty well' sur
rounded by 'now, for, following the
capture of Jaroslau, they announced
the occupation iot Wislok, on the Hun
garian border,\ southwest of Przem
syl, and an imp'ortant statio~n on the
railway which runs from Sanok
through one of the passes of the Car
pathians to Ztemplin, and. thence .to
Bfladapesta -
Wislok probably was taken by that
part of= the Russian army which, ad
.anced from Lemberg by the southern
route. to cut off the retreat of the
Austrian, army through -the Carpath
ians to Hungary. It is also another
link in the chain wvhich the. Russians
are drawing around the fortresses of
Przemsyl and Cracrow.
On the German frontier the Rus

but no fighting has occurred.
