NEWS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK Germans Defeated With Awful Slaughter in an Attack on Ypres Salient. PREPARING FOR HEW SMASH Americans Gallantly Repulse Hun As sault Near Amiens Teutonic "Pence Offensive" Developing Third Liberty Loan Heavily Oversubscribed Plans to Expand Our Army. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Monday of last week was a bitter day for the Hun the day of his worst defeat since the great spring drive bo Ran. Under orders from Oeneral von Arnlm to take Scherpenbenr. Mont Roiiro, Mont N'olr and all the hlirh ground back of Kemmel, the Ger mans hurled themselves time nftor time against the stone wall of Brit ish and French defenders, only to fall back In disorder, IcnvliiR thousands of their men dead and wounded on the field. The enemy employed nbout thirty fresh battnllpns, In addition to the numerous divisions nlreadv In po rtion on that front, and his onslaughts were so frequent as to bo almost con tinuous throughout the day. When tho morning of Tuesday came the grent numbers of gray-uniformed lend In front of the defending posi tions showed the awful price the Hun hud paid. Moreover, he had nothing to show for this expenditure of life, for the allied lines were virtually In tact at all points, and the Ilrltlsh lat In the nfternoon counter attacked north of Kemmel and regained consid erable ground previously lost. Just to the west of this position, about Loere and at the cross roads between Rcherpenberg and Mont Rouge, tho French mot the fiercest assaults of tho day. Changing hands several times, Locro was held by the Germans at nightfall, and they had pushed ahead until the situation wns most critical for the defenders, hut the French enmo back with such Irresistible dash that the advance was stopped, nnd af ter dark they pushed the Germans out of Lucre and back from the positions they had won between the two hills. IB! in tills, the most nretenttous attack on the Ypres salient, the British nnd French, largely outnumbered, fought with equal gallantry and determina tion. At the same time the brave Belgian's, farther north, repulsed an other attack, not yielding n foot of ground. The kaiser had Just visited the Gorman lines and exhorted his troops to push the British back to the .channel, "where they belonged," but the stubborn Tommies didn't wish to be pushed, nnd they were not. Tho big attack probably had tho double purpose of capturing Ypres nnd di verting large numbers of allied troops from the Amiens salient so the Ger mans could make another drive there, but neither object was attained. The artillery fire from both sides was con tinuous nnd very henvy, nnd the Ger mans, despite- the excellent work of tho airmen, Improved their transport nnd brought up many of their largo guns. The British bntterles west of Kemmel devoted much of their efforts during tho week to deluging the top of that hill with shells, so that the Huns were unable to obtain any bene fit from Its capture. The lntenso nctlvlty observed be hind tho German lines Indicated thnt Von Arnlm was preparing to resume the nttack on tho Ypres salient Imme diately. Except for Kemmel hlH, his troops are occupying lower ground than that held by the nllles, and they cannot continue there long under tho smothering lire of the British and French artillery. If they cannot gain the lino of heights they seemingly must soon retire. -FoV.owIng their disastrous repulso n Flanders, the enemy mado two at tacks In the Amiens region. Tho first wns directed especially at the Ameri can troops, now revealed as holding portions In tho vicinity of Vlllers- Bretonneux, east of Amiens. After an lntenso preliminary bombardment lasting two hours, the Germans ad vanced, three battalions strong, and hand-to hand lighting ensued all along the line. The Americans put up a de fense that won the warm praNe of tho French commanders on their flanks, and the Huns, after considera ble time, were driven back with heavy loss. The losses of the Americans were said to be rather severe. The second attack was made Wed nesday night In the Thennes sector, southeast of Amiens, nnd was us com plete a failure a the other. IRS Already, the expected Teutonic "pence offensive" Is beginning to de velop, as It always does after the kaiser has won some successes and then has been brought to n halt. Chnrles of Austria Is said to have made peace offers to Italy, the real purpose of which la evidently to cre ate discord In Italy and at the same time to quiet the discord among his own subjects. The pope. It Is under stood, will put forth peace proposals on Whitsuntide, May 10, making con crete offers of mediation by tho holy see. Germany's own offers are ex pected after nnother great effort has been mnde to smash tho allied armies In France. This pence offensive will be no less offensive to tho allies than Its prede cessors. They will not bo deceived by offers to restore Belgium and to cede Lorraine. Nothing less than the ut ter defeat of the central powers will satisfy them, unless there Is an un believable change In the state of mind of tho governments nnd the peoples. This Is no less true In America than In England anil France. The Ameri can casualty lists, though still com paratively short, are scattering all over the country's map little black dots of mourning, ench of which bo comes the center of n strengthened de termination to see tho war through to complete victory. na The Austrian emperor is truly hav ing n hard time keeping his subjects to their allegiance. From Serbian sources conies the pews that the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes In the dual mon nrchy are holding n plebiscite on tho plnn to Join with Serbia nnd Monte negro In one natlonnl Independent state, with Peter of Serbia as the king. This movement Is led by tho prime archbishop of Carnlola. Mean while the Austro-Hungnrlan mllltnry commanders have been grently exer cised by the fact, Just announced, thnt largo numbers of Bohemian troops are Joining the Italian army anil nre now on (he Italian front In Italian uniforms. They belong to the Czecho-Slovak army which Is being formed at many points within Austria Hungary. Pi Though they have slowed up a bit In Russia proper, the Germans are go ing abend stendlly with their penetrn tlon of Ukraine, nnd now have es tablished military rule In Kiev, Its capital, on the ground thnt the gov ernment has proved too wenk to main tain lnw and order. A number of the members of the Ukraine government have been arrested. Of course, tho prevailing disorder there Is mainly due to the presence of the German troops nnd their oppression of the peo ple, but a little discrepancy like that does not lother the knlser. Recently General von Elchhorn, the German commander there, ordered tho peas antry to return all property and ef fects taken from the landholders nnd to begin at onco tho cultivation of tho estates. This order, designed to pro tect the Interests of the landholders, most of whom nre Poles and Russians, was vigorously opposed by the rada, which declared It would not permit In terference by German or Austro-IIun-garlan commanders In the Internal af fairs of tho country. Tho minister of agriculture was Instructed to tell the peasants not to obey Von Elchhorn'.s order. Berlin nnnounced on Thursday that Sevastopol had been occupied by the German forces. m For a day or two last week the world was startled by a report that there had been n counter-revolution In Russia, and thnt tho former czar's llttlo son had been proclaimed emperor, with his uncle, Grand Duke Michael, as re gent. Tho story enmo from Scan dlnavlu, and soon was recognized as 2 General I'erdiltiK and his aides bombs used by the Itrltlsli aviators Gorman propaganda, though there was doubt as to Its motive. It was not confirmed from any Russian source. Possibly the Germans meant to use the alleged revolt as an eeue for seizing Petrograd, u move they al ready have threatened to make unless the Russians agree to thelrouttageous ly unfair plan for the exchange of prisoners. According to this plan, which Russia rejects, nil German pris oners In good health are to be re turned, the unlit being kept In Rus sia : and all unlit Russian prisoners will be returned, the lit being retained In Germany. Another bit of characteristic Ger man Insolence cropped up last week, when Berlin formally protested ligalnst the action of the allies In giv ing aid to the Red guard of Finland, bi'cau-e It Interfered with the Internal life of Finland, though the Germans themselves nre helping the White guard of the country with land and sea forces. This combination has now occupied Vlborg after seveie lighting. JB8 The Russian bolshevik government Is really preparing to re-enter the war against the central powers, whose ag gressions have become Intolerable. The pan-executive council at Moscow has adopted Trotzky's plan for uni versal military training for all men between the ages of eighteen and forty and the conscription of all work ers and peasants. The best military experts have been recalled to tho serv ice and the government expects to have a large and effectlvo army with in ten months. 1 War work In Amerlcn Is progressing with unprecedented speed these days. Tho third Liberty Loan campaign closed on Saturday with tho .?:i,000. 000.000 of bonds heavily over-subscribed. Tho most satisfactory fea tures of this loan nre the large num bers of Individual subscribers and tho fact thnt the country districts took n portion of tho loan relatively much Inrger thnn they did of the previous Issues. As the campaign neared Its end the enthusiasm became really tre mendous. All classes of the popula tion Joined In tho work of selling the bonds, and most substantial aid was rendered by fiO wounded Amerlcun sol diers and a group of French "Blue Devils" who enmo over from France for tho purpose. The war department permitted It to he known that It now plans to have 1,000,000 men In France by July 1. and that considerably more than H00, 000 are already there. Secretary Ba ker says the army will be expanded to .'5,000.000 men nnd then will be made as much larger as Is considered necessnry. Tho movement of troops across the Atlantic Is so swift that the training enmps nre being emptied, nnd therefore the draft registrants are be ing called In Increasing numbers. Sec retary Daniels Is enthusiastic for nn army of unlimited size, and says If there are not enough young men to whip Germany the ago limit will ho changed nnd tho older ones will go. The brigading of the Americans with tho British timl French has greatly expedited , the placing of the men on the firing-line, for now only HO days of training In Franco Is considered necessary. Tho senate grew Impntlent all of n sudden Inst Tuesday and three bills wore Introduced for expanding tho army. In tho house Chairman Dent of the mllltnry affairs committee also In troduced such n bill, but he would limit tho slzo of tho army to 4,000,000 men. As usual, he Is not In accord with tho spirit of the nntlon. On Thursday Secretary Baker pre sented the administration's program to tho house committee. It Includes ex pemlltures on tho nrmy aggregating $1:1,000,000,000 fn the next fiscal year; manufacture, of artillery on 11 stu pendous scale; drafting of nt least 1,000,000 additional registrants nnd ns many more ns can bo equipped nnd transported to France. us Tho Overman co-ordination hill was passed by the senate Monday by n vnto of Oil to 1.1, and when It gets through the houso there will bo little In nny wny connected with tho war which tho president will not bo em powered to do. Tho measure gives lilm dictatorial powers to reorganlzo bureaus nnd departments of the gov ernment nnd to transfer government functions nt will.

The circumstances are most tt ic. I. .It mis going to Jerusalem (v. II'J). Hew is going witli the full conscious ness of the nwful tragedy of the cross before him the treachery of Judas, the flT persecutions of the priests and M-iilies the unjust judgment. J. The disciples following nftor (v. 32). They were In dread bewilderment. His utterances and demeanor tilled their minds with perplexity, and their hearts with awe. In this state of con fusion. Jesus called them to him and patiently Instructed them. a. "What needs should happen unto him" (v. :w, III). (1) "Delivered unto chief priests and scribes." (2) They shall condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gen tiles." CD "They shall mock, scourge, f-plt upon, nnd kill him." (-1) "The third duy he shall rlso ignln." II. The Ambitious Request of James md John (vv. Ufi-ir.). 1. The request (vv. B.V37). It was for a place of prominence In the kingdom. According to Matthew, their mother was the Intercessor. Many mothers have been used by chll- Iron to carry out thnt which they wore themselves nshnmed to do. It Is very desirable for mothers to get plnces for their children near to Jesus, but unfortunately many are seeking the pinnacles of tho world and for rettlng the nearness to Christ 2. Jesus' reply (vv. H3-45). (1) To Peter nnd John (vv. 38-10). He spenks directly to tho men, de- larlng that they know not what they lsk. The Lord many times has to re prove and rebuke us for our blind re attests. He showed them that tho way to this position of glory was through suffering. The cup which they were ;o drink was all that was embraced In the ngonyon the cross. Ho concedes Hint the positions which they craved ivere obtainable, but In n very dlffer .nt wny from what they apprehended. The wny to places In glory In the Kingdom of Christ is through the path if lowly, self-forgetful service. (2) To tho ten (vv. 41--I5). The ten were displeased with Peter and John, but doubtless they were not tree from the same selfish umbltlons. Christ showed them that to give Is preatcr than to receive; that to servo Is greater than to bo served. Tho standard of his kingdom Is to forget telf and serve others, even to glvo jiie's life. Christ Is the supreme ex ainplo to be Imitated by all who would follow him. III. Jesus Cures Bartlmaeus of Blindness (vv. HWV.!). Though the weight of the cross was jpon lit m, ho had time for gracious Jucils. Blind Bartlmaeus receives his sight. 1. Bartlmaeus' request (vv. 40, 47). He cried to Jesus for mercy. Tho 'act thnt he addressed him us the Son it David, shows that ho recognized his Mcsbluhshlp. Though he was blind, his fnltli enabled him to tuke Sold of Jesus. As soon ns he heard that Jesus wus passing by he cried to him for help. Jesus not only can hear our erica, but he c,an even tell when a sou! yearns after him, and will re spond to that yearning. 2. Rebuked by the multitude (v. 48). This rebuke provoked n more earn est cry from Bartlmaeus. He be lieved thnt Jesus could and would help him, and knew that It was now or never with him. Tho fact that God has brought salvation within our reach should convince- us that it Is time for us to cry for help. Therefore, wo should not allow the opposition of men to keep us from Christ. S Tho blessing granted (vv. 40-S2). Though Jesus knew his desire, he ulshcd him to definitely commit him pelf God Is pleased when we come to him with our definite needs. When his eyes were opened, ho saw many interesting things, but the su premo object wus Christ, for ho fol lowed him. Note experience of llurtl aiaeus: (1) A blind beggar (v. 40). (2) His cry for mercy (v. 47). (,'l) Persistence In his cry (v. 48). (4) Responded to the call of Jesus (vv. 4!, r.0). (fi) Made specific request (v. 51). (0 Received his sight Immediately (v. 112). (7) Ho followed Jesus (v. 152). How quickly ono cun paas from sore iced to Jubilant disclpieahlp. Certain-teed Roofing The roof that copes with all conditions.
