lhe Proper moment comes. The al
d military authorities were fully
cognizant that the enemy's supreme
effort would cause a retreat until
measures could be taken to check
the irruption into the allied posi
tions.
As always, the attacks possessed
the advantage of knowing exactly
where they could launch their on
slaught, while the defenders were
compelled to await development of
the battle before meeting the onrush
with counter measures. There is
every sign in todays situation that
the terrific attack, in which appar
ently somewhere in the neighborhood
of 1,000,000 Germans of all arms
are engaged, is being slackered. The
resistance of the allies seems firmer
and the arrival on the scene of
French reserves, sent up to the
southern flank brought welcome support-to
the British who sustained the
first powerful rush.
The German divisions which be
gan what evidently was intended to
be an irresistible forward movement
were so cut up that they were re
placed by fresh formations.
It is these divisions which have
been checked at the position? on
which it was foreseen by the allies
generals that a stand would he made
The ground over which the fight
ing has taken place possesses small
tactical value, but it permitted the
allies to retire in perfect order. It
ucidsiaicu uy me uei mans
before they retreated last year and
the inhabitants had not had time or
means to Duna it up again. While
retiring across what was almost des
ert land the British inflicted enor
mous losses on the enemy, who
threw away thousands of lives in an
effort to overcome the resistance he
encountered. "When the retiring
British reached the. Somme and the
canal they turned about and gave
battle, meeting repeated and long
sustained endeavors of both infantry
and cavalry. ;
The initial rush of the enemy
seems to have been stopped. Mili
tary opinion generally is that this
first phase of the great battle, in
which even more troops were em
ployed than in the battle of the
Marne, gives no indication what the
result will be.: Nevertheless, develop
ments are awaited by the allies with
out anxiety. '

DISCIPLES EMERGEN' Y DRIVE.
The Disciples of Chr.st in this
country find war conditions precipi
tating an emergency df serious na
ture upon all their eleomopynary
work. Their leaders are moving
strongly to meet the situation.
At this writing. State Conferences
are in progress. A team of eighteen
missionaries, college presidents and
missionary leaders, is tourinsr the
country and creating wonderful en
thusiasm. Their hearts are in this
drive.
People are stirred to the depths. A
pastor in the middle weft said. "I
have always been a conscientious
worker, but as I look back, my min
istry seems as nothing in compari
sbn with what it should have been.
I realize more keenly than ever that
I stand between a suffering Christ
and a sorrowing, sinful world. Hence
forth, no occasion is unimportant, no
service insignificant."
Business men are attending the
Conferences in large number, and ev
erywhere they are a bulwark cf
strength. They stand for large mea
sures. They urge vigorous and im
mediate prosecution of the task. The
chief women are .present in every
Conference. There is but one voice
from them. It is for complete con
secration and for unstinted serv'ce.
State apportionments have been
made. They are larger than any
thing the church ever favored before,
but they are received in a spirit of
devoted courage. Reports already in
give promise of success. A western
church has already secured pledges
aggregating five times their total
missionary gifts of last year. ?This is
but one of many rays of hope already
apparent. The Disciples in this state
has held a stirring conference and
are already organizing and prosecut
ing a campaign to reach every mem
ber of every church in the state.
The Emergency Drive contem
plates the raising of $2,250,000 be
fore June first to reach the goal of
the Men and Millions Movement,
$6,300,000, and to provide an extra
million or more for the immediate
relief of 4,he war emergency.
GERMANS WRITHE IN PAIN

The whole front was lit by enemy

Nine minutes later the Canadian

the enemy positions were swept, with
