THE GREAT WAR

Drive Huns North.
GERMANS QUIT VESLE RIVER
Continue Their Retreat From Lys Sec
tor, Wfcere Americans Fight on
Belgian Soil Bolshevik! Are
Defeated In Siberia and
Northern Russia.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
The whole western front, from Ypres
to Helms, was ablaze till the week, and
throughout nil the long stretch the Ger
mans continued their retreat. Tho ar
mies of the allies followed closely on
their heels, hammering at them day
nd night and giving them not n mo
ment's pause for reorganization of
their wearied forces. It was unotber
week of uninterrupted allied success,
and the withdrawal of the Huns was
extended to Include the Vesle river
sector, between Solssons and Helms.
Until Wednesday there hud been little
itctlvlty there, except continuous urtll
lery work and some sharp lighting be
tween the Americans and tho Germans
tn the region of Flsmes and Flsmette.
Hut In the first days of the week air
pluno observers reported evidences of
a coming retreat by the enemy, and
this developed on Wodnesduy. Tho
American and French patrols pursued
the Huns promptly and by Thursday
had reached the crest dominating the
Alsne, ncross which river the Germans
seemed likely to take the main bodies
of their troops.
This retrograde movement wns made
necessary by the successful advance of
General Mauglu's army north and
northwest of Solssons between the All
ctte and the Alsne, threatening tho
ChcmlD des Dames and flanking the
enemy lino toward Flsmes. With the
aid of Americans, Mnngln was moving
steadily down the Alsne plateau and
In the direction of Laon, and It ap
peared doubtful that the Huns would
bo ahlo to remain long south of the
lllndcnburg lino through Anlzy and
Craonnc. They were driven out of
Clemency, Ilrny, Mlssy-sur-Alsne r.nti
ninny other towns In this region, and
the French as early as Wednesday
night were In the outskirts of Coucy,
one of the Important German bases on
the edge of the St. Gobnln forest. Be
tween there and Chnuny the enemy
was forced from a series of dominat
ing heights that he has relied on to
piotcct La Fere. To tho northwest
of Clmuny equally Important victories
gave General Humbert possession of
Gulscard nnd Maucourt after he had
forced tho retirement of the enemy
from Mont St. Simeon and the Canal
du Nord. This lutter action wus u
desperate light, for the Gorman posi
tions were protected by a wilderness of
wire entanglements and by Innumer
pblo machine-gun nests. Captured odl
cers said they had orders to retreat to
tho region of Hethancourt, northwest
ot Chnuny. There were Indications
that the Huns planned to make a stand
on a lino through Hnm, but tho French
advance was so swift that their abil
ity to do this was doubtful. The
French First army was movlag Irre
sistibly on Ham from Vesle and the
Canal du Nord.
At Frefiiies the French and Ameri
can advance reached the old Hliulen
burg line, had Hum practically flanked
and was rapidly approaching Laon.
The Inst named city lias been ono of
tho most Important of the Germnn
bnses In Plcnrdy and tho henrt of tho
present Hun operations. It Is a great
center ot railways and highways and
Its capture by tho allies, It was said,
must mean tho further retirement of
.ho enemy.
lea
Tho British In Plcardy opened tho
week by occupying Pcronno after an
Australian force had captured Mont
St. Quentln In u brilliant operation.
A little to tho north Hnlg's men then
took Combles, Morval, Courceletto and
Le Transloy, and straightened out their
new line by advancing It to Molslnns
and to the east of Neuvllle. Then, on
Monday, came a grand Hiltlsh smash
which wrecked the much-vaunted Wo
tan switch line of the lllndcnburg line,
from Drocourt to Quennt. Despite the
reslstuuce of great masses of Infantry
and artillery, the British rushed for
ward on n ten-mile front and speedily
made a gain of some live miles, the
German losses being frightful. In the
succeeding days they kept up the drlvo
remorselessly, putting much of tlte Ca
nal du Nord behind their lines nnd ap
proaching within a few miles of Doual
and Cambral. These two cities were
so Important to the German defensive
sjstein that large numbers of troops
were rushed to their rescue nnd the
British drive was slowed down percep
tibly by the end of the week, though It
wus by no means stopped.
All through tho week there were re
ports that ninny towns and villages
back of tho German lines In Plcnrdy
were In flames and It wns certain that
the foo were destroying great quanti
ties of supplies which they were not
given time to remove.
the Lys sector, the salient west
of Armentleres, the German retreat,
under compulsion, continued bteadlly
nnd the British advanced as far as
Neuvo Chnpelle and Laventle, taking
n number of villages. The northern
purt of this sector became of especial
Interest to Americans becuuse the Yan
kees were there engaged In their first
buttle on Belgian soil. These troops,
biter Identified by General March as
the Thirtieth division of Tennessee,
North Carolina nnd South Carolina
men, enptured Voormezeele nnd other
towns In the vicinity, and next dny
pushed on further eastward. Thurs
day the British, presumably aided by
these same Americans, took Ploeg
stcert Ullage and Hill 03, dominating
rolnts on the Messlnes rldgc. By thnt
time the British, from Ncuve Chapelle
south to Glvenchy, had reached the line
they held before tho German drive of
April 0 lust, and east of Glvenchy they
bud occupied pnrts of tho old German
positions.
id
Altogether It was a highly satisfac
tory week on the west front. Tho
Germnn military critics have given up
tiying to conceal wholly the truth of
1
I"
ich
Hun reverses, but some of them
let that tho retreat will not go
ich farther. The German crown
prince broke Into print with an Inter
view In which he declared the German
Idea of victory now Is "to hold our
own and not allow ourselves to bo
vanquished." lie said only the allies
were waging a war of extermination;
tl.nt the Get mans wished to annihilate
none of their enemies. The Hun peace
offensive seems to bnve petered out
entirely for the time being.

The British government, aroused by
th sucking of Its embassy In Pctrogr.id
nnd the murder of Captain Crnmlc, the
British uttacbe, bus sent an ultimatiiri
to the soviet government at Moscow,
demanding reparation and prompt pun
ishment of the guilty nnd threatening
to hold tho members of the bolMievik
government Individually responsible
and to have them treated as outlaws
b all clvlll.ed nations. Meanwhile
tho British aro holding LltlvuolT, bol
shevik representative In Loudon, and
his staff under arrest pending the re
lease of British olllchils who wej-o ar
rested In Ilusslu.
U
Belated dispatches from Siberia tell
of the destruction of the bolshevik
army east of Lako Baikal by the
Czecho-Slovnks and say the Cossacks
ore co-operating with the Czechs. It
appears that uninterrupted connection
has been established between the al
lied forces across Siberia nil the way
from the Volgn to Vladivostok and
thnt the vangunrd of tho Czechs has
Joined hands with General Semenoff'H
troops on thu Onon river.
In northern European Russia tho
allies and loyal Russians have gained
further successes south of Archangel
and Inflicted severe losses on the bol
shovlkl. P
On tho Ussuri front In enstern Sl
berla tho allied forces hnvo been driv
ing the bolshevik! northward, defeat
ing them In every engagement and In
flicting heavy casualties. The Ameri
cans under General Groves Joined In
these operations.
Tho supprusslon of tho Social Rev
olutionists In Moscow Is bring carried
out with u heavy hum!. About live
thousand of them have been hi rested
and sentenced to death, and It is said
they will be executed If their party
shows any further opposition to the
soviet government. The streets of
.Moscow nre under the strictest uilll
tury guard.
Details of the supplementary Kusso
German agreements have been inado
public. Germany promises to evacu
ate nil occupied territory emit of Li
vonia and Esthonla us soon ns boun
daries are established, and to get out
of nil other territory east of Germany
when Itiisslti has fulfilled her Ilium
clnl obligations, which must be with
in four months. Russia Is pledged to
light against the entente foices In
northern Russia, and Germany prom
ises that Finland shall not attack.
Russia renounces Its sovereignty over
Esthonlu und Llvonln, but Is to have
free transit to Rovnl, Riga nnd Wln
dau. An attempt to assassinate Nlcolnl
Lenlne. soviet premier, was made by
n girl In Moscow, but nt last reports
he was still olive though In a serious
condition. Very likely his death
would be a godsend to Russia.
ta
There Is not much to sny of the war
on the Itullan, Albanian and Greek
fronts. Small engagements nre nu
merous, but no decisive operations have
been started lntely. In Albania the
retirement of the ullled line for a short
distance Is explained by the necessity
of preparing for winter by occupying
certain dominating heights. Austria
has not attempted anything Important
In Italy, possibly because she Is too
busy trying to settle her tntcrnnl trou
bles, or because of the call on her for
troops to help out the sorely-pressed
Germans In France. Several Austrian
divisions have been Identified on the
west front. Meanwhile the Italian
airmen, aided by American flyers, havo
been doing a lot of bombing of Aus
trian towns, railways and naval sta
tions. a
According to dlspntches from Mu

From Cologne came the news that
the commandant of the Brandenburg
province had placed the province, In

General March said last week that
more than 250,000 American troops
were landed In France during August,
and that up to the first of September
more than 1,(500,000 had embarked for
the various rronts, Including those
sent to France, Hngland, Italy and Si
beria. There has been no olllclul men
tion of late of the First American Field
army, and observers In France und In
Fngland believe It Is being prepared
for a great drive, of which the present
big offensive Is but tho preliminary

All preparations have been com

der has cnlled on the people to aid In
making the registration u complete sue-
cess, and, so far as the older men are
concerned, has given assurance that a
very large proportion of them will not
be required to go to tho front. The
young men, he and most others believe,
will be only too glnd to get Into this
greatest and most righteous of all
wars.

time for private

ship, while modi
t at 1 o u on tho
Won! Is, we fear,
nlm.ist n lost nrt. Men and women
too. aro using up seven days' strength
In M days time, so that Sunday
usually Minis them completely ex
hausted. Let me suggest ns u remedy nn hour
n day with Jesus, emphasizing not so
inuih thu amount of time us thu fact
of a generous period set apart each
day for fellowship with the living and
wiltten Word.
Our souls need It. How much they
need It wo shall never know until wo
ndopt the habit. Wo need It both for
our Information and Inspiration. We
need to know God better that we may
loo htm more. We need to know our
selu's better that we may take and
keep our proper attitude toward him.
Anil when we know Ills will we need
the constant und constraining Influence
of the Holy Spirit to Incite us to do It.
A slumbering church needs It, for If
It Is ever nwakened and set on lire for
God It must bo through the Instrumen
tality of those who aro already on lire,
nnd whose caniest Intercession gives
God no rest until he establishes und
makes Jerusalem n praise In the earth.
A perishing world needs It for
never will It realize that It Is dead un
til it comes In contact with those who
are alive In Christ Jesus. Formal
preaching nnd feeble testimony will
never disturb the sleep of tho dead,
but "the people thnt do know their
God shnll be strong, nnd shall do ex
ploits." When people henr about tho
victorious life and sec It In their
midst they will realize their own need.
And Jesus craves It. We are not
simply the servants of Jesus who go
to him for orders, but ho says, "I
have called you friends," and "all
things that I have heard of my Father,
I have made known unto you." A
business man may employ hundreds of
women, nnd dally assign them their
work nnd pay them their wages, hut
there Is one woman whose relnlon to
him Is entirely different. He Is not
her employer but her husband. He
did not select her for tho work thnt
she could do, but to he his wife and
companion.
Even so the church Is the bride of
Christ, nnd far more than the service
that we can render, ho prizes our
fellowship und love.
An hour n dny with Jesus gives
deep, abounding Joy. "Did not our
hearts burn within us us ho talked with
us by the way, and while ho opened
to us tho Scriptures?"
It makes our testimony more effec
tive. Some years ago I came In close
I touch with n group of young people.
I soon saw that one of the number
wns far superior to nil the rest In
tho weight of her testimony und In
her knowledge of the Bible. Then I
found the secret. Shu was giving an
hour n dny to the study of the Bible
and nrnvnr. Her life wns beautiful
.-..- ..... - - ..--. . f
aim ner inuuencc unique, inougii ner
natural gifts were only ordinary.
Thnt hour n day with Jesus seemed to
cast a halo over nil that sho said and
did.
It gives grenter power In prayer. In
Acts 4:31 we read that when the apos
ties hod prayed, the place was shaken
where they were assembled together,
and they were all lllled with the Holy
Ghost. "And with grent power guvo
they witness of the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus; nnd great grace was
upon them nil."
And so wo come bnck to our fitnrt-
I ng point, and leave with you tho
I question, "Could wo not manage our
households, nnd carry on our business,
' n,i accomplish more study, nnd mako
' mro monev If we would spend nn
hour m Jny with Jesus and the Bible?"
A Uttlo talk with Jesus, bow It smooths
the ruKRcd road,
How It seems to help me onward, when I
faint boncath my ondj
When my henrt Is crushed wltk sorrow,
and my eyes with tears aro dim,
There Is nnuKht can bIvo mo comfort llk
a Uttlo talk with him.
I cannot live without him, nor would I I!
I could;
Ho Is my dally portion, my medicine and
food,
HVa altogether lovely, none with him can
compare,

What is a Branch
House?
The Branch House is the place In
the packing organization where what
the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it
Both are the natural result of
growth and development in the living
thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch House9
are located in distributing centers all
over the country. They are fitted
out with refrigerating equipment to
keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a
man who believes in what Swift &
Company is doing for people and
wants to help do it.
They are directed by men who
have spent years learning how to get
better meat cheaper to the places
where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch
houses direct from the packing plants
in Swift & Company's refrigerator
cars, in such quantities that it can be
disposed of while fresh and sweet.
Your meat dealer comes here to
buy your meat for you unless some
one else can treat him better then
we can.
So you need the branch house In
order to lire well; and the branch
house and the packing plant need
each other.in order to be useful to you.
