Ident Wilson.
Omaha churches yesterday observed
Peace day, the date named by President
Wilson's proclamation asking that all
Americans should unite in prayer for the
ending of the great Kuropean war and
all other armed strifeT"- -
Sentiment of most Omaha pastors as
expressed by them yeBterday Is strongly
opposed to war, but wlthit Is the belief
that, as part, of the Inscrutable plana of
the Deity, good In some form must result.
A mass meeting In observance of Peace
day was held at the Young Men's Chris
tian association In the afternoon, at
which William Balrd, who secured his
knowledge of conditions In the warring
countries at first hand, delivered an ail
dress. Members of the Rotary club ob
served the day by attending the services
at All Paints' church.
At Trinity cathedral Pean Tancock,
strongly condemning war as butchery and
the creator, erf desolation and charity
dependent women and children, empha
sised that "All things work together for
good to those that love God."
Offering for Nnfferera.
The entire offerings of the day at the
cathedral were given to the Red Cross
for the alleviation of suffering In the
war-stricken countries. The day was
marked here, as In most of the other
churches, by special services, including
holy communion and a musical program.
The dean's sermon exemplified trust In
God during the darkest wartime the world
has known. "It is hard to believe that
all things work together for good," he
said, "but harder not to believe it.
"Strip war of Its fine phrases about
'dying for one's country' and yon have
only butchery and desolation, resulting in
homeless women and children, dependent
upon charity. All this is done to satisfy
the whim of some tyrant or nobleman.
nut we know beyond doubt that 'All
things work together for good to those
that love God.' This Is the assurance to
which to cling. Note that they to wKom
good Is to come are 'those that love Ood.'
This distinction Is based not on class dis
crimination, but on love, and Ood Him
self la love."

LONDON. Oct. 4. More, the little
town on the main road, from Amiens
to Noyon, the heights around whirh
have been alternately occupied by
the. French and the Germans during
the past week, Is Mill the center of a
battle of great violence.
The Germans, who are f'ghtlng
stubbornly to protect their flank at
tula point, have brought up rein
forcements, ht, according to the
French official communication, Ir
mied thla afternoon, all their attacks
have been rppulned.
Action Mllll I'roeerdlna.
The action, however. In still pro
ceeding, and upon It much depends,
for If the Gerninna re beuten, their
line of communication at Tergnler
will be Borlounly threatened. ,
or other oiieralloiis on this front, which
extends as fnr north as Arras, nothing
has been disclosed since the French them
selves announced thiit thnlr force, which
was debouching from Arras, hud fallen
hack slightly on the east and north of
that town.
There Is evidence from either sources
that the Germans are making prepara
tions to protect their flank, should a re
tirement become necessary.
r.vaeoate Wrat Flanriera.
They have evaouatod Vest Flanders,
and their attack on Antwerp Is believed
by many to be designed 4o keep tha Bel
gians busy and prevent them from oper
ating on what would 'be (lenmial Von
Klii' k's loft should he fall hack through
Ilelgtiim.
Hut the battle Is not yet ovr and It may
be many days heforo either side attains
Its objective. Kxoept for the forces abso
lutely needed elsewhere, the Germtns are
maintaining their strength In France, and,
besides fighting off the French efforts on
their right, are themselves remaining on
the offensive on the French right. The
army of the crown prince, which has been
In the thick of the fighting since tho Oor
msns began their Invasion of France, has
made an attempt to slip through the
woods of I t'rurle, but, the French re
port says, was thrown back to the north
of the Varennes-ha-lIarasee-Vlenno-La-Vllle
rond.
This rosd pierces the northern part of
the Argonne forest, so that the French
must have made a considerable advance
In this region and unite straightened out
the line from the north of Verdun to the
north of Rhelms,
Tills attack of the crown prince s army
doubtless Is what the Germans referred to
Irl their report of Friday's dnte to the ef
fect that the troops advancing In the Ar
gonne had gained ground In a southerly
direction.
In the Woevre district and on the
heights of the Meuse the French claim
Hint their progress, thouKh slow, contin
ues. There apparently has been some
hard fighting further south for the Ger
man report speaks of vigorous sallies from
Toul having been repulsad.
Calm In (ruler.
Along the center comparative calm still
reigns. The itornwtns have benn keeplng
up a heavy artillery fire on the British
end French forces entrenched In front of
tiiein, but the Rrilish seconds say little
damage haa been done.
The real work Is being dune on the to
wings, and the troops In the center, who
have had much fighting, his being given
a respite, until the moment comes for
them to move again. This, of course, de
pends upon the success or fsiliire of the
outflanking operation.
The German sttai k on Antwerp, which
does not appear to h'uve been a seiloux
one thus fur. apparently has not showed
any effects on the lielglun forts of t.lerrw,
Waelhelni ami Woevre, St. Catharines. At
any rate the Helglsns sny the forts are
lntat and that the Germaua hsve ben
driven off with heavy losses to their
aides.
FlaTbl Aleaa l.oas Mae.
The operations hetuem the ltiiswin
and Austrisns and Gcrmuna grow in In
terest. Thes' armies are fighting along
a tremendous line, extending from the
neighborhood of t'racow. In Galicia. along
the frontiers of Poland and east Prussia,
slmnst to the Itultlc sea. There Is no
news from the southern field, but the
Germans and Austrians, Instead of wait
ing on the line between Cracow, Sre.-de-chowa
and Kalis for the Russians, have
advanced further Into Poland. Their out
posts have been reported as far east as
I'lctrliow (ninety miles soiitbwettt -of War
aaw in the north) and Stnpntra (thirty
two milea aouth, southeast of Kleloe In
the south.
A big Russian army Is gat tiering to
meet them, and a great battle probably
mill be fought In Poland, instead of on
tha borders of Poland and Silesia.
In the north, if the reports are to be

to retrace their steps, rrept tin the right
