The ofllclal press bureau Issued a descriptive account of the operations In Franco of tho British force and tho French 'armies in im media to touch with It, cotumuulcatod by an eyo witness present nt the head quarters of Field Marshal Sir John French. "Sept. 25, 1914 For four days thore has been a comparative lull all along our front This has been ac companied by a spell of flno weather, though tho nights aro now much cold er. One cannot have overythlug, how ever, and one evil result of tho buu shlno has been tho reloaso of flics, which were torpid during the wut days. "Advantage has been taken of tho arrival of reenforcomenta to relievo by fresh troops tho men who have been on the firing line for some time. Several units therefore havo received their baptism of flro during tho week. Germane Fire on Own Men. "Since the last letter left general headquarters ovldenco has boon re ceived which points to tho fact that during counter-attacks on tho night of Sunday, tho 20th, tho German Infan try fired into each other as tho reHUlt of an attempt to carry out tho dan gerous expedient of a converging ad vance in tho dark. "Opposlto one portion of our po sition a considerable massing of hos tile forces was observed beforo dark, and some hours later a furloUB fusil lade was heard In front of our lino, though no bullets camo over our trenches. Many Dead In Trenches. "This narrative begins with Sep tember 21 and covers only two days. On Monday, the 21st, thero wub little rain and the weather took a turn for the better, which has been maintained. The action was practically conilned to the artillery, our guns at one point shelling and driving away the enemy, who were endeavoring to construct a redoubt. The Germans for their part expended a large number of heavy shells In a long range bombardment of a village. "Reconnolterlng parties sent out during the night of September 21 13 discovered somo deserted trenches, and in them, or near them, In the woods, more than a hundred dead and wounded were picked up. A number of rifles, ammunition and equipment also were found. Thero were outer signs that portions of the enemy's forces had withdrawn for somo dis tance. "Tuesday, the 22nd, also was a fine day, with less wind, and was one of the most uneventful days that has passed since we reached the Alsne uneventful, that is, for the British. There was less artillery work on either side, the Germans nevertheless giving another village a taste of the 'Jack Johnsons.' Bodies In "No Man's Land." "Tho spot thus honored was not far from the ridge where some of the most severe fighting In which we have taken part has occurred. All over this 'no man's land' between tho lines the bodies of German lnfantrymon are still lying in heaps whoro they have fallen at different times. "Espionage plays so large a part In the conduct of the war by tho Ger mans that it Is difficult to avoid fur ther reference to the subject. Thoy have evidently nover forgotten the saying of Frederick the Great: 'When Marshal Soubise goes to war he is fol lowed by a hundred cooks; when I take the field I am preceded by a hundred spies.' "Indeed1, until about twenty years ago there was a paragraph In their field service regulations directing that the service of 'protection In the field' outposts and advanced guards should always be supplemented by a system of espionage. Many Spies Give Signals. "Though such Instructions are no longer made public, the Germans, as is well known, still carry them Into ef fect. Apart from the more elaborate arrangements which were made in peace time for obtaining information by paid agents, some of the methods which aro being employed for tho col lection or conveyance of Intelligence are as follows: "Men In plain clothes signal to the German lines from points in tho hands of the enemy by means of colored lights at night and puffs of smoke from chimneys by day. Pseudo labor ers working In the fields between the arralos have been detected conveying Information and persons in plain clothes have acted as advanced scouts to the German cavalry when ad ranclng. Officers Remain Behind. "German officers and soldiers in plain clothes, or In French or British uniforms, have remained In localities evacuated by the Germans in order to furnish them with Intelligence. "On spy of this kind was found by our troops hidden In a church, tower. His presence was discovered only through the erratic movements of the hands of the church clock, which be was using to signal to his friends by means of an Improved semaphore coda. "Had this man not been seized it Is probable he would have signaled to the German artillory at the tlmo of their arrival the exact location of the headquarters and staff. A high ex plosive shell would then have mys teriously dropped on the building. "Women spies also have been caught; secret agents bare been found nt tho railroads oboorvlng entrain ments nnd dotrnlnmonU. "It Is u b I in pi o matter for Bples to mix with the refugees moving about to their homes; difficult for our troops, who speak neither French nor Ger man, to detect them. "Tho French have found It neces sary to seurch villages and also casual wayfnrerB on tho ronds for carrlei pigeons. , "Among tho precautions taken by ua to guard against spying Is tho publica tion of tho following notice printed In, French and posted: ' "'1. Motor cars and bicycles no carrying soldiers In uniform mny no circulate on tho ronds. " '2. Tho Inhabitants may not lenvo tho localities where thoy rusldo be tween C p. m. and C a. in. 0"'3. Inhabitants may not quit tholi homes after 8 p. in. "'4. No person may on any pretext pass through tho nrltish llneB with out an authorization, countersigned bj n British officer.' Value of Secrecy Shown. "EvcntB havo moved bo quickly dur ing tho last two months that anything connected with tho mobilization of the British expotlltlonary forco la now an cient history. Nevertheless, tho fol lowing extract of a German order Is ovldenco of tho mystification of tin onomy and Is a trlbuto to tho valuo ol secrecy, well and loynily malntnlnod at tho tlmo in Englnnd: "'Tenth Kcscrvo Army Headquar ters, Mont St. Gulbort, Aug. 20, 1914, 23:40. Corps order, Aug. 21: The French troops In front of the Tenth army corps havo retreated south across the Sambro. Part of the Bel gian army has withdrawn to Antwerp. It 1b reported that an English army has disembarked at Calais and Boul ogno, en route for Brussels.' " DEATH COMES SWIFTLY TO TWO GERMAN SPIES London. A atory received from a point in France It is not permitted to Bpeclfy says: A soldier comes out from bohind a pine tree with riflo and fixed bayonet: "Ou allez vous?" he says, Btepplng beforo mo and dropping his bayonet point a little toward me. "Je vats me promoncr," I reply smil ing, and anticipate his next demand by pulling out my case and display lng my special permit, also various other papers and an officially stamped photograph, which proves my identi fication with the name upon the spe cial permit "Monsieur, permit me," says the sol dier suddenly in very fair English. "Monsieur is ze man that writes. I shako you by ze band with ver' great pleasalre. It is to me an honor!" Wo "shako" with enormous empress ment and I compliment him upon his English. He smiles, gratified, and disclaims with great modesty. He beckons me back among the trees. "Ono comes!" ho Bnys. "Sshl Ze woods hero have boon many times sot In flames. Wo havo suspects those bo dono with intention." See Spy Among Trees. He ceased his whisper abruptly and we both bent forward together. A hundred yards down the narrow path among the pines a man in a work man's blue blouso Is standing, looking quietly In every direction. Suddenly he takes a couple of steps In among the trees, stoops and lifts a stone. vFar down the hillside at the end of the narrow vista among the trees, a second man was suddenly seen. So utter Is the silence that I can hear him plainly as he coughs., He begins to haul on something, and I realize suddenly tho meaning of the whole in cident that I am watching. The two men havo located the underground private telophone wire going up to the fort. They have been tapping it for any news they might pick up. Death Is Painless. Tho soldier Is methodical. Ho takei tho distant man first. Kneeling there behind him, I watch with a growing thrill and tension of tragedy and sick ness his sunburned cheek cuddlo against the stock of his riflo. Then very slowly it seems to me in that quiet, dreadful momont his stubby clgaretto stained forefinger crooks back gently, gently on tho trigger. "Crack!" comes tho sharp, snapping bang of the weapon, and tho man down the vista of trees gives a queer llttlo Jump and thon turns right around quickly and looks behind him. And thus looking, and seemingly unaware that ho Is the person who has been shot, hjs heart stops and he rolls over quite easily and gently on his side a merciful enough death, as theso violent deaths go, for some of them are so dreadful. Shoots Second German. And then, as I stare, the rifle goes "crack!" again, and I Jump; for I am still looking at tho silent figure down the vista of trees. But the soldier has boon attending to his business and has snapped off a second shot at tho nearer man, for the man had started to bolt. And be causo the shot was hastily aimed tho second death is as cruel as the first was merciful. An examination of both bodies shows that tho men wore German epics, In possession of "ciphered" in formation that would no doubt prove very helpful to our enemies. TRAMP'S DOG KEEPS GUARD OVER MASTER Watches Over the Vagrant as Ho Sleeps and Defies an Irato Farmer. Columbus, O. A tramp wbb sitting on u fallen trro along tho bank of Alum creek, and besldo him lay a big conch dog. Tho owner of tho land, who happened to como along Just nB tho observer wns getting a plcturo of tho pair, ordered tho tramp from tho plnco. Tho tramp, howovor, lookoil up Indifferently at tho landlord and mado no effort to obey tho command.

In tho animal's eye thero camo an nngered look and ho growled viciously at the landlord, who lost his nerve and retreated, promis ing, however, that ho would have a constable attend to tho tramp. After the owner had departed the tramp lazily lay down on tho log, stretched his arms and proceoded to take a nap. The dog lay down besldo him, placed his head across the tramp's knees, and watched tho land lord until ho was out of sight. Every time a passerby would happen to walk near tho tramp tha dog would raise his head and watch him until ho had passed. HE FOLLOWED THE COFFEE Unhappy Man, Tired of "Eating Around," Pursues and Marries His Former Landlady. Chicago. Charles 0. Dorwln liked good coffee. Many yearn of "eating around" in Chicago had tnught him that thero aro about as many differ ent kinds of coffee as thero aro res taurants and boarding houses. Then Mr. Dorwln found tho board ing house conducted by Mrs. Bello B. Houghton. It was a small affair in a third-floor apartment. Mrs. Houghton llvod there with her sister, who also was a widow, and they had two or three boarders, JuBt to help along with expenses. But Mrs. Houghton could mako good coffeo. Dorwln discovered that, and he settled down to tho enjoyment of life. He was getting along in years, and after working all day in a Dearborn street office building he found thero was nothing quite as sat isfying as going home and being served with one of Mrs. Houghton's meals and her unusually good coffeo. Tho back porch of tho Houghton flat looked out over sevoral railroad tracks, and tho trains kept Mr. Dor wln nwnko some nights, but ho stayed, nevertheless. A little moro than a year ago Mrs. Houghton and her sister decided that a bungalow In California would be a moro enjoyable placo to live than a third-story flat, with a view of Jack son park from tho front nnd railroad tracks from tho back. So thoy moved away. Dorwln moved, too, but nowhere could ho And coffeo such as Mrs. Houghton used to make. A few weeks ago ho, too, went to California. The other day, oyer tho wires from Los Angeles, came tho news that a mar rlage license had been Issued to Charles O. Dorwln, fifty-seven, and Belle B. Houghton, fifty-five.

Passover has now como, tho time ap pointed and predicted, Matt. 20:2. iJosua directs the dlsclplos to tho room of his own choosing; thoy woro to find It following a man bearing a pltchor. This Is suggestive of our following tho lending of tho Holy Spirit Remarkable Occasion. II. The Passover, vv. 17-21. Hero at evontldo Jesus and tho twolvo sal nbout tho Pnssovor board. As wa took back ovor tho pages of history It 4s truly a remarkablo occasion. The 'Passover was a perpetual memorial ol tho Exodus. Now, in the dispensations of Dlvlno economy, this Is to be its last observance. Jesus had been look, ing forward to this occasion, John C:70, 71, yet In the midst of the feast his soul ia filled with anguish, Johr 13:21. The perfidy of Judas waa the blttcv noss of the cup, but Jesua only let him go when ho must and then only with groat sorrow. Judaa waa disappointed in his dream of a material kingdom and hla deslro for the possession ot carnal pleasures. Greed had growa becauso given food. Hate, stifled con aclence, spurned love, a thief, a mur derer, Judas was guilty that moment aa he waa the next night. III. The Parable, vv. 22-25. From all the records we believe that Judaa left the company aa soon as he waa identi fied, and before tho feast waa Insti tuted. Jesua ovor taught by symbol. We hear much about objective teach ing, Jesus anticipated ua all. From tho Passover board Jesua took bread, and after offering thanks, ho brake it. saying as ho did so, "Take ye, this ia my body." This does not mean tha breaking of his body on the cross, for not a bone waa thon broken, John 19:36; I Cor. 11:24 R. V. It does sig nify the distribution ot hla body among all who shall feed upon him. This does not mean the actual physical transformation of tho bread Into his body. The bread represents his body, nnd like as bread becomes a part of tho physical body, so to cat thua In symbol, ho becomes a part of us. Thoro Is no question, howovor, of tha actual spiritual presence of Christ in tho elements. "Discerning the Lord's body" thoro is a real feeding upon 'Christ, John 6: CO, 51, C3, 55. To pan take unworthily Is to bo "guilty of tha body and blood of Christ," and we eat and drink "Judgment" to ourselves, 1 Cor. 11:24-26. Jesus commands thai the observance of this rite shall b continued. It la a covenant which his disciples are to perpetuate "till become," I Cor. 11:24. The ground ol this covenant between a holy God and sinful men, Is the shed blood, v. 24, see Heb. 9:18-23. Aa the blood la th life poured out, so he poured out hla life that where aln Is, there may b forgiveness and remission, Lev. 17: 1L Only One Recourse. The first Passover waa the prelude of the exodus; this la the prelude ol that of which Josub spoke In convers ing with Moses and Elijah on tha Mount of Transfiguration. The blood of Christ was shed unto the remission of sin, Matt 26:28. It ia the ground of God's forgiveness, see Matt. 20:28, Horn. 3:25 It. V., I John 2:2, Eph. 7:7, and many other passages. There la pone other ground for our forgiveness than the shed blood. It may be old fashioned but it Is scriptural and flcaves ub no other recourse. The symbolism of this holy ordi nance is simple, yet sublime. It Is to bo a perpetual proclamation of bis resurrection. His. death Is the central fact of redemption, tho way of liberty Ifor the captives of sin. The supper is meanlnglcBS apart from this element Jt Is true that In Its observance wa remember hla grace and glory, tha beauty ot his person and the wonder and wisdom ot his teaching, yet the supreme significance of the act is bis death. In that upper room waa the Messiah and a Remnant There the true pur pose ot God waa fulfilled and the He brew nation, aa God'B Instru lent, came to an end. Jesua had toltl the rulers in the temple that "the king dom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the frultn thereof." By the old Pass over Israel passed from Egypt By this feast a new transference takoa place, a new dispensation is ushered In which shall abide "till ho come."
